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.

A pop song, featuring far more keyboard work than normal for me.

Words are like numbers
And numbers like words
There are these patterns

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…

This is what happens when you can't get an internet meme out of your head.
You can leap tall buildings in a single bound
You can save a drowning man
You can stop a bank robber with your kung fu moves
Still, McKayla is not impressed…
Thanks, Gary. All of the credit for the keys (and the awesome stick bass in the verses) goes to Clarke McMurray. He killed it. This song has an odd feature where I'm playing bass in the choruses and Clarke is playing stick in the verses.
I got a friend, his name is Tim, and he really likes donkey songs.

Interpret this song as you wish. The inspiration is a rash of door to door religion salesmen that plague my neighborhood. The conversations they try to engage me in made me ponder their motivation for grace.
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Meg Radley on vocals
way to go
great escape
such a clever girl you are
made the grade
change the course
all because of what she said
climb up the ladder
release the lion trapped inside
all our thoughts…
from the album 'ZERO'
with Alex Moody on Vocals
lover cease
and desist what you say
cause there's a ton of trouble
coming your way
lover be strong
it's gonna be a crazy ride
but when it all hits the fan
i'll be the one with the plan…
from the album 'ZERO'
featuring Tess Savigear on vocals
as you wish said the boy
to the girl with the sparkling eyes
so it goes, so they say
he was taken from her that day
and her deep blue eyes went silent
just another sad tale, so sorry…
from the album "ZERO"
with Alex Moody on vocals
if you believe in the miracle of trust
and that karma's hands always touch
everything, whether near or out of touch
gotta keep on reaching, cause it never hurts
to try, it's not so hard…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Meg Radley on vocals
wait a day
might as well stay, awhile
here with me
where the breeze, blows
just say now
time grows shorter
then we dream
awake a scream, out loud
leaving leaves a hole
kicks around…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Tess Savigear on vox
seems like I felt this way before
but my memory is not to be trusted
so many things flashing through my brain
was it real or a dream or something else
you're staring at me like a criminal…
from the album "ZERO"
featuring Alex Moody on vocals
you used to be
someone I could believe in
someone much better than me
and now you're no better than the others
i'm sorry to say...
you weren't so smart
locking yourself in your house…

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
What a fabulous track! Love the fiddle!
Absolutely!
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!
Gotta say it, Tim. I wish I wrote this song. -clarke
Great, great song.
Sounds great, Tim! I love the "surf" tone of the guitar. -clarke
I like this one, too. ER
Interesting instrumental. Like the irregular cadence of the drum set. ER
i say f' her, cause this is a good song.

Great work, Brian. Nice, mellow groove and I like all of the flourishes.
This is better than roughly 75% of the music produced by RPM participants each year. Henry's already almost as good as his dad.... :)
Yowza. Missed this the first time around. Awesome work!
Thanks, Gary. All of the credit for the keys (and the awesome stick bass in the verses) goes to Clarke McMurray. He killed it. This song has an odd feature where I'm playing bass in the choruses and Clarke is playing stick in the verses.
Hey wait - that's ME!
A farfeeza, a marimba, a surf beat, and a Dick Dale guitar line. What more could you ask for?!?!
Subtle and pretty from Sha-Pink? And it works!
And now some early Depeche Mode... It's like an updated version of New Life, covered by Thomas Dolby. Damn, guys. Just damn.
Makes me think of Blancmange! Another awesome tune. It sounds like the fun is out in full effect for Sha-Pink this year.
This song is everything I love about Sha-Pink! Awesome B-52's vibe on this tune. Great job, guys. (uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh)
I had an absolute blast working on this track, and it's about ME!!!!!
Fabulous work, Alex. It matters! beep-beep.
This is one of your best vocal performances ever, Brian.
Oh. Meg…. What a fabulous way to round out the album.
The build and the slinky bassline on this tune are so great. And Alex kills the vocals yet again.
I adore the part where Tess's voice breaks up oh-so slightly at about 3:40. Awesome.
I had a lot of fun playing with the effects on Alex's voice on this one. Another great song.
Just lovely, and I really like the build.
Tess lets her voice slink through this song. Just a fantastic vocal.
Another tremendous arrangement.
