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
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…

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…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
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. = )

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.

Alex hit it out of the park on this one, taking a great song and making it even better.
I love the push-pull of this song.
Damn, Andy. Just damn. You're operating on a whole different level, as usual.
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!
@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. = )
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.
