It's been a long 2+ years...
G/Bm - C9
Here we stand, hand in hand
Staring over the edge
Not the way we planned it
But what we have in the end
When the waves were crashing
How were we to know
That nothing would be the same
When we…

Staring over the edge

That nothing would be the same
When we…
Walking in, I read the room
We’ve all been here before
The sign is in its place again
Right where I need to go
Everyone is looking lost
Like they’re waiting for a cue
I can see what this is asking
And I know just what to do
Temporary…
Verse 1
Morning keeps its promises
I don’t stop to question why
I stay ahead by staying busy
I don’t listen, I don’t try
I don’t ask it what it means
If I keep my hands in motion
I don’t hear what’s in between
Chorus
There’s a jar full…
I’m all for paying your dues
And getting what you deserve
And people say you’ll only get what you can bear
But it might be time
For people to find out
You only get so far on thoughts and prayers
People like to tell you
You’ve got it…
Great lyrics, ranging from anger to desperation to resignation... again, totally relatable. The music matches the tone of the song, awesome lead guitar solos.
They told me where to sit and stay
So that’s what I became
The room behaved exactly right
And I did the same
Nothing pressed, nothing pulled
No one asked me to decide
I stayed where circulation ends
And nothing else applied
I do the…
I’m all for paying your dues
And getting what you deserve
And people say you’ll only get what you can bear
But it might be time
For people to find out
You only get so far on thoughts and prayers
People like to tell you
You’ve got it…

I decided to try a few different things this year for RPM. This is the single (along with a b-side to make a playlist) I'm using to show I completed RPM. All told I had six songs and could have listed an EP, but the songs all need a bit more…

It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.
I need a b-side songs for the flip side
A b-side song to prove that I tried
To put in the effort, to get things done
To try to…
I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…

Well, now. This is OUTSTANDING. It seems like this was the year for "get one song done to keep the streak alive." A damn good little track. Yeah. Fifteen years. Pretty amazing, my friend.
It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.
One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
The Morning Came
lyrics - t boudreau

If i thought i needed more it'd be for selfish reasons
If i didn't think that i had it all i'd be kidding myself
So whats ever left out there it's for your taking
Remember…
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

Just another cover of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite musicians. Yes, the entire song is written in haiku. I'm not really sure how she does it, but Sam can make words dance.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
Comments on Letter Seventeen's stuff
Yeah. I like these tracks. Especially this last one... love how it makes me feel.
Lovely, subtle and restrained, hushed singing. Great closer to a great EP. Love the lyrics, very poignant.
Nice to have something catchy and humorous to break up some of the heaviness of the EP.
Nice, laidback vibe despite the subject matter... again, totally relatable, at least for me.
Great lyrics, ranging from anger to desperation to resignation... again, totally relatable. The music matches the tone of the song, awesome lead guitar solos.
Love the REM-esque vibe. Great lyrics, totally relatable.
Whoa, really dig that tasty lead guitar tone there, Slowhand Backing vocals are great
Better bees than hornets! (says Dr. Positive) I like that... what, Oboe sound and Flute organ combo?
Now, this is where it's at.
Oh, this is an INSTANT favorite.
Oh my! This is the best song I've ever heard. I wish there are more people like you!
This song is very well produced. Fresh like the produce section!
Ah, a song that is well recorded and speaks volumes of truth! Well done Tim!
:-) You got it. :-}
You are always absolutely hilarious and fun. Nice one Tim!!!
Meta-brilliance, redux!
This is brilliant. Meta, but brilliant, nevertheless. Great, clean sound too. A simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and vocal can work so well.
Yes! Dude. This is SPECTACULAR!
Well, now. This is OUTSTANDING. It seems like this was the year for "get one song done to keep the streak alive." A damn good little track. Yeah. Fifteen years. Pretty amazing, my friend.
ooh, what a fun listen! Definitely got the Halloween vibes going.

So nice, I listened to it twice! You two always sound so good together.
Fabulous build up and a great, professional sound. This is one of my favorites from Sunny, Sorta...
Awesome. Just awesome. I'm thrilled to have a song on the same album as this. Stunning....
A rockin' shuffle with that awesome harmonica. Oh yeah!
Nicely done. The extra instruments and voices really bring a lot to the track.
Beautiful, understated guitar work. This is a really lovely song. You've achieved what I keep trying to do, and you've done very well with it.
This reminds me of the Slowvol record from last year. Great stuff.
I really like the guitar work here, particularly as you come out of the chorus.
This is why we love Stu. Great work all around.
Just freaking brilliant.
Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.
This is seriously messed up, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Two of my favorite artists in one song! Great job, Keith!
Oh yeah! I'm all over this one. Nice work. Now I just have to figure out how to cover it to fit in my "party" theme of late. = )
Very very cool.
My favorite line: "And the river's a safer bet, because the sharks are smaller." I love that.
Wow. You did a much better job with her songs than I did. Nice work. I really like the transition into Rest.
Another fine job, Mr. Landry.
Another brilliant track. Just amazing. Excellent musicianship and a stellar vocal performance.
Hah! This is great! I'll have to say, this is not a song I figured anyone would ever cover. = ) Nice work.
