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.
A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
Pop music. Dance songs. Sub bass. Lovely ladies in Cornwall singing along. What more could you want?
lyrics
This is the least impressive dance song
You’ve heard out on the dance floor
But as you listen to it
You want MORE MORE MORE…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…
A song about missing my wife when I travel.

A chance to try something different. Tim deconstructed a Spoon song and then created his own tune using the same structure.
lyrics
She says she knows the whisper number
The one that she shouldn’t know
The words are hiding just under her…
Someone has to clean up this mess. Sometimes it's me.
lyrics
Look at me
Large and in charge, taking down names
The way to be
In control of every part of your little game
Getting things done
you don’t have to like my method or tack…

Oh my god Tim!! This Is amazing. My next project is less rappy.. as in no rap.. u know, what you know me for. Would you com on board?!?!?!
I can't believe how good this is I really can't. Who/Kinks ish.

A tribute song to the unofficial mayor of Portsmouth New Hampshire. If you're in town, stop by The Press Room and say "hi".
lyrics
Master of music
King of the blues
Shakespearian insults
A well-rounded dude
Legend says he’s six foot…
You start off watching a TV show. You end up with a song.
lyrics
Another night alone, sitting with myself
Thinking of how it used to be
I try to distract myself
Flipping through channels on TV
I come upon you there
Staring back at…
It's tough making money in the music biz. Inspired by the song "Cake By The Ocean".
Tim - lead and backing vocals, bass, drum programming, keys. Clarke - backing vocals. Grant - drums. Bob - guitars, backing vocals, beatboxing.

A love song about fate.
Tim - guitar and vocal.
Before I knew you I felt the gravity
Something beyond control I knew was pulling me
Binding us together in ways I couldn’t see
And i would come to know there was only you for me (you for…

I am, wasting away
the older I get
approaching the end of the line
I never meant to be

but circumstance and chance have me

from the album ZERO
featuring Alex Moody on vocals
it's time to paint it on again
adjust my smile smooth down my dress
make sure the shoes both match, and leave
jump in the car, i'm fast asleep
and all the people in my dreams
seem so…

None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…

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. = )
Comments on Letter Seventeen's stuff
Very nice! Great vox and band sound.
Cool tune with the ukulele and great vocals...
Good....No! Great!
And finally, the donkey song. I was getting worried.
I love this, except that I can't get it out of my head. I keep wanting...more
I really like this number.
I'm a sucker for a good uke tune
I hear the Mojo Nixon influence here, in the best possible way
Tim Wainright III!! Love it.
Swallowed that riff whole. Now I'm cool as f___. So good. Fair on fire chappy.
The drums are so killer on this one
Oh my god Tim!! This Is amazing. My next project is less rappy.. as in no rap.. u know, what you know me for. Would you com on board?!?!?! I can't believe how good this is I really can't. Who/Kinks ish.
Very nice, Tim. Very nice.
You need help. I'm glad you're not getting it.
Brilliant!
This is a gem of a track, Tim!
I'm still waiting for the music video for this tune, it must happen!
really love this song........
a very good song, well performed :-)
Awaiting the all Letter Seventeen all-acoustic singer/songwriter album.

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.
