A memory of my dear friend and neighbor who recently passed away. He served in the Third Army in WWII. This song is pretty much every conversation we ever had about the war in fourteen years.
Featuring the angelic Meg Radley on vocals.
A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams.

Tess and Meg were Pepsi and Shirlie.
And Gary Fox played the role of Andy Hamilton.

It's much like something a Psychedelic '60s band might have come up with, both lyrically and musically, and it also happens to be my favorite genre of music. Trippy, far out, and groovy, man! Carry on!

As we wrap up our work on our 2013 RPM album "How The Story Goes", we figured we'd leak an early track. Enjoy our country drinking song.

Take me at my word

And spend the rest of my life with you
I always do what I promise
And I do
It all for you
And if you ask

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…

What a nice surprise to hear this morning! Something fun and different from Alex. Excellent work.
+1 for the Poi Dog meets Dylan comment. That's pretty spot on. = )
Oh hai. This is Bryce!
I have a cold today, but on the brightside I conjured up a song!
Yes :3 I do realize the vocals are a tad quiet; I apologize for this! The next song will be better. I promise you that.

My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.
@Mischief - are you referring to the backing vox? That's all me. 2 guitars, bass, Addictive Drums, and 4-5 voices.
I assume "steezy" is something good. = )
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.

Delicious insanity. Love it!
You need to film a video for this song. Imagine the possibilities! Great job on the album Tim, well done!
Nice job on this one Tim!
Another crowd pleasing slab of Dad Rock right here. Fun track!
I can see (hear) why this is the title track! This is an instant classic. Impressive!

Cool Tim, really cool. I'll be taking some time tomorrow to listen to your album.

yes, awesome! IAA
Still genius. :)
Tim, I love this! Great grove & fun! w;-)
Awesome!! I'm really impressed by the harmonies in the chorus. :) -clarke

Love this track!
Don't worry, ER, mine is too! Great track, Tim!
My mind is blank most of the time. Good song. ER
Yeah!
Nice stuff peeps!
Lovin' this!

There's something to be said for embracing the nonsense. Too many musicians takes themselves far too seriously. Great work.
This is radio-ready, and better than 99% of what you hear out of signed bands. Seriously.... I should give up after hearing this. Just brilliant.
These new songs are really strong. Keep it up!
Most excellent work, my friend! I love the 60's vibe.
Excellent work, gentlemen.
This is just brilliant, Brian. A nifty little acoustic gem hidden amongst your louder songs.
This song brought the house down at the RPM listening party in Portsmouth. Radio ready. Not sort of. Ready now.
The knee-bucking harmony leads into a Spiders From Mars-style glam riff? So good, it's practically unfair.
GF channels Cheap Trick and sets the Alonetone power pop bar just a wee bit higher for the rest of us.
You out-did me on the new wave vibe. Awesome job!

This is a tremendous song. It reminds me of The Cure circa 1986. I do wish the vocals were a bit more prevelant, though.
A really great live version of one of my favorites from Sunny, sorta...
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Robyn Hitchcock? Cool stuff!

Holy crap, Clarke! You've been hiding a gem like this from me! Great 80's vibe.
Hah! What a fabulous song to start my day with! Great work, Colin.
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....
