I won’t fight (this) no more
I’ll acknowledge the score
I will get on that floor (right)
And get down
Get down on it
I won’t hide no more
I will run through that door
Then you’ll see what’s in store (right)
And get down
Get down on…

Wildfire - neighbors to the north
See them as they flee
Wildfire - smoke that falls upon
All our city streets, that’s you and me
Wildfire - burning hot again
In the springtime breeze
Wildfire - are you ready for it
As it makes a comeback…

i won’t deny
i was afraid
what kind of lie
what kind of fate
all the unknowns
push them away
what can you write
what can you say
can you go and tell to someone
how my life’s now broken bottles
can we come back all of a sudden…

smile - nod my head
emphatic agreement
i want you to know this team is my bag
please don’t take this earnestness
to be a fake, a ploy, a way
to get ahead
Costs nothing for me to smile
Costs nothing for me to shake
Let this sincere…

give me a love with a heart that’s beating
give you my all as the world is reeling

Gather round, praise the sound
As the dark one comes
There no surprise, plays both sides
Preying on the dumb
It’s our greatest fear, no lesser evil here
All is done
Spreading wings, darker things
Await everyone
No need to dial it down…

Into the wind I felt it
Let her in
Past all the scenes I sold
In fewer words the motives
Can’t begin
They’re always pacing pacing
And I’m looking for a red eye
And my train’s not coming round
And I can’t defend tonight
I gotta take…

RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 20 becomes finished song number 20. Fitting, eh?
This one isn't going to make the final album. It's okay but I think there are at least 10 songs better this year. Oh well. I'm too tired to care. 2.5 hours…

I like this one. It's kinda bouncy and fun. The melody is better than my usual crap too. A little bit better at least.

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 16 becomes finished song number 17.
This one will make the album, I think. I kinda like it even though I am sure I have written this exact song about 100 times before. Oh well. It has a nice 6/8 groove…

This track was created from an acoustic loop of a Celtic instrument which I put through a virtual pedal + amp chain to turn into the backing 'electric guitar' track.
The plucked acoustic guitar on top and the flute were played by me (all virtual…

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it!

Everything was recorded live off the floor except the harmony vocal track, which was added a couple of weeks later.

Another lovely Monroe/Robinson collaboration. This one was recorded piecemeal across the whole month of February 2024, with Robbie adding the guitar lead on 2/29 while I (Kevin) was doing the final(-ish) mixes!

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album.
On 2/17, we recorded John’s drum tracks for the full 5-minute song, then got a take of Cody playing keys along…

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the…

Another Monroe-Robinson collaboration. So glad Kenny brought those two together a few years ago!
As with a few other tracks this time around, Robbie recorded his parts on his own, then we replaced the canned GarageBand drum loops with actual…

I'll leave it to the listener to decide if it's more of a bonus to listen to this track or skip it. This is more of the didgeridoo/Otamatone/Stylophone session.

The idea for this one came to Margaret as she was walking to the studio for band practice one night, and we’re glad it did!

I was hoping for more background noise, to be honest. I even went out and recorded just some background noise to mix it in. This is the epitome of "phoning it in".

Robbie put together a 5-minute track (“E Rock Jam”) that was meant to feature a bunch of guitar leads from various folks and maybe some vocals, but the timing never quite worked out to get those laid down. We did, however, record some of John…

Robbie recorded the main guitar parts and a couple of vocal takes on his own, then invited the group to come up with additional parts. On 2/17, after we’d finished up recording a bunch of other stuff (including…

Ok, not really a djembe, just a plate, but I needed the alliteration for the song title.
