So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Like it! Love those chords. And I love how the tension goes up and down - a big release at the start of the chorus, and then it gradually grabs you again as the chorus completes and we're back into another verse. I was wondering how it would feel at the end... and it's perfect. Off to watch the video now :)

I was watching the breeze in the trees and it got me to thinking ........
Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…
A simple little guitar/drum loop that is just an excuse to layer big fuzzy guitar parts in harmony. I added quite a bit of soup onto the harmonies too, and put some backward vocals... just for trippy fun.
The cleanish guitar is a Gibson ES…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!

Not sure about this one.
This was written as part of the 2012 RPM Challenge. I had tried RPM five times prior to 2012 and had failed miserably every time. About a week into February that year I had actually decided to call RPM quits in general…
Well Reg was watching the news and he couldn't believe a word that our great prime minister was saying ....He believes that Boris is actually working against us rather that with us in our battle against the Covid. Reg lives in the North of England…

And keep you safe within the mix

Some blues/boogie fun.
Ain’t no fun
It's a well known fact
When you’re with the wrong woman
And caught in the act
Sworn to secrecy
We even made a pact
But didn’t matter
We were caught in the act
Been watched and followed

The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…

Oh baby let me take you
To that screen-saver dawn
To Hallmark scenes

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

Well it was a crazy time…
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan

It’s a foot tapping morning already and I’ve only been awake 10mins ... ooh yeah!!
Woah... this is mighty fine. Heading Somewhere... yeah...
Excellent songwriting
Great song Roger!
The summer of 2020 was a real challenge but we’all got creative
Strong emotions here. Captures our crazy COVID times perfectly
Great reflection of what we're all feeling. It's been the summer of simple pleasures.
I love that 12 string sound!
Beautiful song. The pauses offer striking clarity.
The sparseness and the lyrics work terrifically to set the mood. Nice job.
A good old foot tapper and not naff at all
Nice one Roger. NOT naff at all!
Love this Roger! Such a happy feel.
Beautiful message and wonderful song! It’s been a great Summer my friend. Here is the summary: https://alonetone.com/MTBottles/tracks
Love your videos
Hello Rodger Strong lyrics drew me in
Like it! Love those chords. And I love how the tension goes up and down - a big release at the start of the chorus, and then it gradually grabs you again as the chorus completes and we're back into another verse. I was wondering how it would feel at the end... and it's perfect. Off to watch the video now :)
Rita and I both enjoyed the video. We especially liked “the good wife” singing back up. I have to say the ending really got our attention.
Sounds like most of the evenings I have out or in .... liking the trippy vibe too
Love the feel of this one. Kinda trippy. It's got a Mamas and Papas vibe to it.
