It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be!
In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…

Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.

I don’t want to wait, till the end, to have you

Cause you completely satisfied me even before I’m done
And you’ll be right beside me even when I run
And I know it’s my fault…

Song 6 for my 2024 RPM challenge. Got the guitar and bass out for this one. It's a song with a lot of dissonance and so is kind of weird. But here it is anyways. Definitely not for everyone's ears.
