This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well... It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink. Listen…

Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year. New version uploaded 12 Dec 2010.

The Cacaphony of the Kaleidoscopy, and a nod to 70's progressive rock. Brace yourself - this is a long one! Falling Is Never (Lyrics by Aaron Strebs, Music by Jana Persson) Years between life, between panic, a lie between she who would…

A couple of ornate melodies on a string that Will worked really hard to decorate with words. Since the song has basically two different melodic themes, the idea is to portray a relationship from two perspectives. Over You (Words by Will Gough…
