Lyrics to this tune are purposefully ignorant, although I'd be lying if I told you that there isn't real life emotions in this one.

So Jessica recorded this in one take. It won't be long before I'm just the guy that hits record.
...And she's already working out the harmonies.

This is a song by our guitarist Keith. He doesn't get a chance to jam with us as much since he moved to New York. He and I had a lot of fun working on this simple tune, and it makes me miss times long gone.

A special someone mentioned Truly,Madly,Deeply which I guess is a pop song. RPM Challenge 2016
True as stars shine in the sky
So certainly that I need not ask why
As honest as a heart that's found its key
And unlocked secrets I never could…

song#2 for RPMC2016
Expiration date
A rough month for rock stars
All the good ones are leaving
It's about that time
Just the songs remain and
Public grieving

When you died they wrote you up
Counted your…

This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…

Standing on a tightrope
Stranded in midair
Struggling to balance
Mortality aware
Scared of looking downwards
As the drop below is much too far
The pole is getting heavy
Sliding through the hands
Braced against the headwind

The preferred track on the album. I allowed myself to get into it near the end.

It's an emergency
It's time to follow through
This fateful spell
This hateful shell
This view
If only you'd permit yourself
To see the vision before your eyes
The intervening years
The fading cheers
The garden full of wine

None of us are assembled properly. Some nights are worse than others.

Yeah. More of an indictment of my lack of playing ability than anything else.

Yup, I wrote it at around 2:00 a.m. I never was very good at going to bed.

Most of the tracks here were named on the spot. This one was no different. I arranged this one in November - kinda caught the mood of winter rolling in.

Wrote this song yesterday after another long week of crummy news in the world and had the good fortune of the Minnesota song writers in my living room tonight to help me bring it to life. Greg Connor - on the cigar beat box, Colin Walterson on…

Another crappy backing track.
Use it if you like.

This hymn is not my own but is in the public domain copyright wise, so i thought I would upload it. It is an old Irish melody. I listened to a lot of versions of it and then came up with a version myself using chords that I felt best suited it…

A slightly schizo soppy/sexy pop song. Written and recorded 15th/16th Feb 2016 (as part of RPM challenge).
I'm channeling some 70's pop ballads and (somewhat) Barry White here. I'll not do it again, I promise.

Three times over the last three months I have found myself faced with someone who honestly believes the Earth is flat. Not like in a joking way, but in a full on don't-believe-the-conspiracy way. It's an insult to the intelligence of every human…

I borrowed a Ukelele a couple of days ago, and yesterday - having a day free (and after working out where to put my fingers), I came up with this rather rough and ready little song.
Ukelele Of Truth
Must we pretend we'll still be friends…

I think it needs some vox, I do have some cornball ideas, maybe later, but it does rock out at the outro.
