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
At…

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

Is it true that he has all the moves?

My George Harrison phase....

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…

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.

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.

None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?

If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.

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.

@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.

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
powerful!
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.

Love your flirty festive vox!
Gorgeous!
Dig the groove!
Love 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....
