HEAR MY FINAL SONG

Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair

I got the speakers turned all the way up Gene!
We've been through a lot. Remember all the song writing challenges at EZFolk? I never thought I would have so many friends that I will never meet in person.
Your last song is something to be proud of. I was taken by the lyrics bouncing between acceptance and denial. Steve mentioned the chord changes. Mark talked about the weight of the message.
We were honored that you asked us for a little help.

Greg, Steve, Mark:
I am so touched, so moved. This final mix down brought a tear to my eye and a chill to my bone. Y'all handle this song with great care and delicacy and made a marvelous bit of music. I'm right proud of all of you and my friendship with you. I'm very lucky to have had this chance to make this beautiful song with such beautiful souls with what days I've been graced with. Thank you all so very much!

A fun little Blues jam. The BG rhythm/drums were generated with the Yamaha E313 KB. All other noises are my fault.

If someone can do some Bodhran drum in the final mix it would add a lot. Rick's songs always had the beat and place for one in them. Great job Greg. Great lyrics Mr. Mann
This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist.

If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life
Filled with things that sparkle and flash,
Rusty nails and old tin cans
Sure, they're pretty when they get wet
But it ain't the most comfortable bed
Unless you're here
I've been…
RPMX track 4
Skin of silk, tungsten steel
Machine of lust, seems unreal
Simple chores are what you’re for
I remade you for so much more
My love is gone forever now
But you will do, 'cos I know how
To modify you’re software now

Fascinating, interesting, intriguing lyrics, indeed, without a doubt. Very pleasant music. well sung -- good delivery. Well mixed for maximum pleasure.
Late RPM upload to AT. I'm just not happy with it yet.
I think the vox suck.
I'll probably take another shot at it sooner or later.

three daughters too
we grow our hair long and

The lyrics would only appeal to a long-haired, surreal, psychedelic, tree-hugging hippy... so of course I love it! VERY cool music! Nice work out on the harmonica.
I like the way this recording turned out. Far out, groovy composition. Totally digging the chord arrangement and the vocals. And, of course, "lucid dementia" always makes for a good song topic! ;)
I really respect that you are not stuck to one genre. I do psychedelic folk, hard rock, sea shanties -- whatever the lyrics need. I'm a poet first and a musician second. I dig what you do as a songwriter and I'm getting the idea that you too generally write the poetry first and then set those to the appropriate sound. However it is you do it, everything I've played so far has been great. ROCK ON!
What an interesting topic for a song! Cool lyrics, groovy, early '80s-ish New Wave sounds. Put a vid to this and Original MTV would have played the heck out of it.
track 8 for my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Little Jack Kerouac sits under a tree
Tells me that all we see is just a movie
In our minds
If you look at those mountains for months at a time
You will see the blissful essence of your…
Track 9 for RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Those boots that you're wearing black and high
Reach almost up to your thigh
High heels and leather
Tight as a drum
They would even look good on your mum
Black Boots
Wear them with fishnets…
what a funky, cool, groovy grove! A lyrically cool subject matter too. If Lou Reed was still with us, he would have wished he wrote this. And as Paul Lennon (Wildgeas), that's some smooth organ!
This song is about a guy who every morning wakes up and writes a song. Then the zombie apocalypse bursts, and he, by the force of habit, still wakes up and writes a song every morning. The song is about all those funny changes in his situation…
Comments on Gene Eric Mann's stuff

Great Guitar rythm and slide work. Vocals are awesome!! thanks for Sharing!
Paul Siegmund turned me on to you...
Thanks, Gene. It's been a pleasure accompanying and listening to your music! I'll always treasure our exchanges.
*AND NOW THAT I'M LOGGED IN* . . . . . It looks like I have accidently added a little humor as well.

I'm liking the harmonica. Nice one.

Comments made by Gene Eric Mann
I so super totally dig this -- the instruments, music, lyrics, vocals -- all groovy to the max! Great job, y'all!
Good stuff -- Rock on, y'all!
Groovy! I dig the lyrics, vocals and music. A far out topic to write about and set music too. Great job!
Cool sounds and effects. I'm digging this style and approach. Great job!

Delicious work out on the guitar. To get political with a song takes courage -- few are willing to go there, but I do it myself often enough. Rock on!
Short, to the point, and very, very good.

That was some freaking fabulous guitar shredding -- I'm going in for seconds!
Really fabulous composition. Great job!
Gorgeous singing, gorgeous lyrics, gorgeous music, gorgeous guitar work.
Ah Hell yeah! I looooove this! Far out -- Rock on!
Sci-fi-ish, cute, fun, and tasty!

Really nice slip'n'slide work. Great vocal delivery in this one. Sweet arrangement of sounds. GROOVE ON!
