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.

Track 2 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed
"Yesterday was a den of sorrow, today is a bright mystery, the future a dim dream or ancient history"

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

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…

There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…

just for once
let the loss
fall away
from me now
try to see
the good in you
through the haze
of the world
I wanted to save you
From yourselves
But I forgot to first save me…

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

Yeah. Recorded on a Tuesday. Real original, Landry.

The title track. Always curious to hear what people think the name means.
Uploaded
None of us are assembled properly. Some nights are worse than others.
Uploaded
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…

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…
Uploaded
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.

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

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

this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"

A little something, just cos I was in the mood.

A very slight excursion (a song-ette) where I'm seeing if I can sing lower than the Uke I've borrowed (I can). I'm making up the words as I go along, but seem to be channelling rather depressing subject matter. With this recording, pace is everything…

I enjoyed twanging lots of guitars.
For best results, copy to, and listen via a slightly stretched C90 cassette.
P.S. Yes, I love Cocteau Twins. No, I can't sing like Elizabeth Fraser.
