I need a pen to write down what you said You have a way with words like nobody else Like nobody else I want to get a better view (What did you say) I said I want to see things a little better I'm a big fan of how you write your letters…

I like Bad Religion. The first album I heard, I remember thinking that it was amazing that there was a smart punk band. Also, I like the way that their songs could work with an acoustic guitar, and still stand. I thought this had a similar…

When I was a boy, I would ring my nan on the telephone Numbers in the holes Spin it round then let it go Nowadays.. I carry a phone in my pocket Oh stop it! Oh where will it end? When I was a lad Used a notepad when I wrote thank you…

The most non meta song on the record. This one is about a women I knew once. Sought the attention from everyone. Would burn you the moment you didn't agree with her. Her name happens to be Angie and really thought she was everyone's saviour…

I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences. Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his. Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…

Yacht rock. Every time I see your smile I feel like I’ve come home And every time you stay a while Is the best day that I’ve known You’re the one that lights my way Brings brightness to my day And I just have to say Don’t want it…

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

I tried to write a song that sounded sort of like Peter Gabriel. I'm not sure how close I got, but Megan and Jarrett absolutely killed it on this tune. I can see you in my mind Like a dream I can’t forget I’m reaching out to touch you But…

I was thinking this was going to be the longest song, but then the next song happened. Anyways, title says it all. Don't let this be what you judge my abilities on. I can do better. Just go listen to my other albums, but maybe after you finish…

Sometimes you listen to a Peter Murphy song and then ask ChatGPT to help you write a song. Sometimes you end up with this. You wouldn't believe the lyrics I left out. Goths on the beach, all dressed in black, Heading for the waves, and…

Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M. Dream of a life that’s never been seen A world of possibilities, a place in between A place of shadows, a place of light A place of secrets, hiding in the night Oblique, oblique…

I had an hour or so this evening as the wife had a friend over I disappeared down the cellar and started to think about my old man he's been gone now twenty one years and how in his old age when I used to go and see him I'd find him sitting pondering…

"EBMS" recorded in February 2023 for the RPM Challenge. Basically an extended instrumental remix of a song from my other 2023 RPM Challenge project.

"Always (Again Remix)" recorded in February 2023 for the RPM Challenge. New recording of an old song with different arrangements. Originally started as a joke in response to Tim (of Letter Seventeen) asking AI to write a song (not) about airplanes…

A song to myself. I’ve often felt like an unnecessary appendage in the circles I end up in. I’ve had some real crazy experiences in my life, and I tend to exaggerate to try an instill the grandness I felt in each story. Sometimes, I’m annoying…

Maggie’s beautiful, heartbreaking hymn to loved ones lost too soon. The intense, somber feeling of loss, both individual and communal, and support in the room as the other 6 or 7 of us listened to Maggie and Sara Beth perform the first take…

Here we go..Song 4 for my RPM challenge. This one was a blast to do because of its simplicity. It's a bit dark but with a hint of humour. I never thought I would need to return to nuclear allusions in a song - it isn't 1985...oh well. They…

Did you guys hear? There are SPY BALLOONS!!!!! A view from above, floating so high Watching as the world goes by Silent and sleek, full of mystique High altitude game of hide and seek Flying high, floating in the air You think you…

Wait n See Boudreau Johnny was sixteen The first time he died New to the scene No matter how hard he tried He was caught in a down stream On the wrong side of right Crossed on the in-between Cost him his life But just This time…

Composed entirely in ABC; I harmed no keyboards while making this album. Converted to MIDI and arranged in Reaper, mastered in mono on an iPhone 'cuz I seem to have forgotten how to in Reaper, damn it, and ran out of time.

I don't even know you anymore. You open your mouth, the words slip out I’m shocked by what I hear The differences couldn’t be more clear Same scene, different views With our eyes and on the news And I’m not sure what to do I don’t…

I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits. Riding on a train to the edge of town Where the night has just begun People on the street with nowhere to go Living hard and having fun Everywhere I go there’s a song…
