High 'n Mighty

I truly must be blessed
I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess
And I always do it my way

Onward

The message they send us
Conform or be tortured
If it's left up to us
We can only do wrong
But we'll trust in our fortunes
Progress moves onward
Straight ahead
Immortally strong

Just Passin’ Thru

Take whatever you want from me (babe)
Take all that you need
I need to lighten my load lately
To a certain degree

The Long Hard Line
( t boudreau)
I locked myself inside in my mind
Slammed the doors and drew the blinds
I searched my soul to see what i'd find
Purged whatever wasn't mine
There comes a time when we find
We must draw that long hard line…

Home-Made Rock n Roll
( t boudreau)
I want to tell ya about my baby
She does a little kitchen dance
She turns up my heat
And grease's down my sheets
And she can rattle my pots n pans
She can start with a slow simmer
And turn it up…
Gone To Stay
(C Maiorano)
Here at the crossroads, with no ideas
River of time flows, year after year
We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near
The light of our life glows, then disappears
We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…

Sublime Intervention (nobody cares)

I peaked thru a hole in my soul and saw you standing there
Ringing the bell of my heart
I forget where we left and that’s a great place to start
We took a fling on the wing of a wild thing…

Thanksgiving Day
11/28/11
Its cold like November in the autumn of my life
Too far to remember my subtle suicide
And your words came and swept me away
And i woke up on this Thanksgiving Day
I was lost like a child in a secondhand store…
Alone On Christmas
Once upon the end of every year well there
Comes a time when we forget our fears
And a childs face will light up for no reason
Ho ho well it must be Christmas season
Its been so long since i've seen your face it must…

in memory of ben keith
man of steel
heard your sound

You say close your eyes forget it all
Nobody sold me a bridge in the desert
Nobody remembers with our eyes closed tight
You say somedays just a point of view
You say someones not much different

No explanations left to give apologies over
She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her
I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication
But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older

RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
The story of a car crash.
Had the dream again this morning
Pictured just how it would be
Saw it moving in slow motion
Felt it rushing up to me
And suddenly it's happening
I can't seem to make myself believe
Clench my fists

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 true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…

This was one of my first compositions ever (I started writing songs in 2004/2005). I don't have the original audio seps any more, just this MP3 file, so I cannot do a decent remix. And I'm too lazy to re-do it all from scratch. :)

Comments on Orphans's stuff
Killer chorus in this! The whole song is catchy. Songs like a great driving song.
Totally cool tune. I picture this being a great bar sing-along tune.
Dig this track, reminds me of some Rolling Stones stuff.
Love the vocals, dig the guitar. Another fine job!
Cool song,enjoyed your album!
I liked the mix on the vocal. this is very good!
Nice tune. Must have been fun to play? The pith of Springsteen meets Progressive Rock! Tasty guitar too.
Another kick a$$ RPM from you Orphans. I think it will take a few listens on a better sound set-up at home to digest this all. ;)
That is one great riff, catchy as hell
great work on this one, all around good production, drum work, bass, guitar, and vocals. You guys are nailing it.
