My cigar box guitar makes its debut.
This seemed a good idea
But you bit more than you can chew
Now that you've sized things up
It's decision time for you
At this critical juncture
It's time for you to choose
We're waiting for your final word…
There's a story here. One day I'll share it.
G - D - Am7 - C
In the year of upheaval
Pick up and start a life anew
Stare down the possibilities
Wonder what I'm meant to do
Am I the one
Who will be king?
In the year of betrothal
Coming into…
You may be shocked to learn that I own a Rickenbacker 360 and I love R.E.M.
Intro/verses: G-C-Am7-Cmaj7
Chorus: Em-G-C-D
Bridge: Fmaj7-C/G-Em
What if you found you had
Your own time bomb
Never sure if and when
It could go off
Safe again

I grew up in the 80's. Can you tell?
Em7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Bm7
Heading out on the floor
Act like you've been here before
Eyes are watching from all around
To see what's up with the new kid in town
Is it true that he has all the moves?

My George Harrison phase....
Don't look now, you're caught in the lavender haze
Before you know it, you're caught in the lavender haze
Head in the clouds, caught in the lavender haze
Don't look now, you're caught in the lavender haze

Another 80's flashback
They say the laws of motion
Don't apply to emotions
But I say check your equation
You may not need so much persuasion
If you want to be the one
Who I take home tonight
You should get your back up off the wall
Some things…

Some thoughts on the growth of social media....
E-E A-B
Thank you for telling me that your cat threw up on the rug today, and
Thank you for telling me that Starbucks didn't make your coffee the right way, and
Thank you for telling me that…
I'm lucky enough to have a lot of talented friends helping me out on this song.

So much to worry about
And you feel overcome now
By your worries and your doubts
Well, I may have the…

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.
There are too many battles to fight in life, sometimes it's best to just walk away.

Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…
Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…

This is like a lost Railway Children song from a session where they were letting one of the other guys sing for once. Nice work, and it features your usual upbeat lyrical content! :)

I'm waiting for a package to arrive
I'm sitting idle hoping it's on time
It's not good for my health
I'm losing patience with myself but
I'm waiting for a package to arrive
Waiting for things to arrive

Okay, you're ridiculously good. Stop that.
This reminds of so many good songs, I don't no where to start. Great tune! Love it.

Agree with Hearts - some great stuff this year El 17. (And this track is phenomenal!)
Kind of Black Kids vibe. Nice
great effort on your RPM! your best work yet in my honest opinion. your vox is getting very good. songs are all quality. hope we have a chance to go for it like this someday.
nice track man. your words are pretty sweet. I'm feelin' it
I like the rhythm in your voice man! good stuff

great lyrics. depeche mode and the cure all in one. very well done.
like this type tone to your vox. another good one.
like the Ramones feel to this one. opening riff reminds me of "born to be wild". cool stuff here. well done.

Dig the groove!
Love this.

Great energy and great fun.
I totally want to see the movie trailer this should accompany! Major bonus points for the trumpet, too.
Apparently Ed likes the Allman Brothers. Who knew?
Excellent song and killer guitar tones!
Such a catchy chorus! At times you really remind me of Eleanor Friedberger.
I love hearing you embrace your pop sensibilities. Another home run.
Wow. This is really great. The key are perfect and the affected vocal sounds amazing. And then some perfectly placed drum bits. Well done!
Whoa. The revision with the new backing vocals is really great!
This is like a lost Railway Children song from a session where they were letting one of the other guys sing for once. Nice work, and it features your usual upbeat lyrical content! :)
Great space and sound, sir. I look forward to hearing this in context of the larger story.
I wish this were four times longer. So, you know, like two minutes long.
Man... there's something about your melodic choices that I just adore. Nice work!
Wilsun, the remix king!
I’m honored to be chopped up and reconstituted so. Great work and great fun! Ow, if you’ll pardon me, I need to go find a shiny shirt.
Great voice and a great bit of talent here. Your EP is quite excellent. Keep up the great work!
Spectacular! There's sort of an Eleanor Friedberger vibe to this that I really love. MORE PLEASE!
Wow. That really opens up at 2:00. Great stuff!
This is great! I’m pretty sure my recording of Wilsun’s entire album last year was shorter than this song. 😂
This sounds like an 80s metal power ballad, and I mean that in all the best possible ways.
I swear your Green Day mode sounds so much like them it's scary. Fun little tune!
