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.

Instead I was drinking

Words are like numbers
And numbers like words
There are these patterns
In the sounds that you heard
You must complete it
Finish the phrase
Close out the cycle…
Ukulele. That is all.
Take me at my word
And get me to the church on time
I always do what I promise
I'll be there to say "I do"
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
I'll do…

Brian did a tremendous job pulling this all together. This was recorded as part of a Church of England retreat in 2023 celebrating my 55th birthday. Featuring: Brian J. Wood on vocals and guitar, Wilsun on bass, This Wretched Vessel on guitar, Tim from Letter Seventeen (that's me!) on guitar, and the remarkable Jarrett Osborn on drums.

RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.

Wow. You really nailed that intro!
Quick story: my high school girlfriend was obsessed with this song. She once played it on a loop for 54 hours straight (CD players had just become affordable and that repeat button was just too much for her to resist). When I came over to see her she was a little..... frayed. She really wasn't much of a goth, but she loved this song and the movie The Hunger. Okay, so maybe she was a little bit of a goth.
October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.

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

Oh HELLL YEAH! Ragged, shaggy, energetic, and AWESOME!
It's the sing-along song of the summer!

This is quite awesome.
I'm with Keith. I think I prefer this version.
You did it again. Of course you did.
Yeah... we need to talk about how you get those bass sounds.
Fair. True. But seriously.... no one should ever record an acoustic guitar via the pickup. It should be declared a crime.
I do loves me some cheap guitars.....
I sold my Neve and I use the SSL more than the ToneBeast these days, but my last recordings were an SM7 straight into the interface. So there!
But my mic **IS** better than your mic!
This is quite lovely.
A very cool soundscape here. Nicely done.

And you finish it out with loungy goodness. This is a fabulous set of songs for October. Bonus points for the great harmonies.
Spooky, but also more fun!
Awesome work, Ed! This song is all kinds of fun!
Very cool!
This is quite spectacular. You took the song someplace different and Andy is a rock star, but we all already knew that.
Nice work, Keith.
