BEDROOM AND A BATH
At the end of the hall
is a bedroom and a bath
A place he never goes
Way back there,
buried in the past
but she'll never know
When the kids moved out
he took one of their rooms
He made the bed
Closed the shade…

I just listened to too much CNN and FOX over the past year.
Uploaded
And finally, a track that I wrote back in 2014 that never got a proper release but should get posted in its heavy guitar glory on a new album later this year.
Uploaded
From RPM19 - this was the riff while writing that album that took the longest to mangle into a proper song, but eventually became one of my favorites from it.
Uploaded
From RPM17 -- there were so many I liked there it was hard to choose, so I went with this one that is the default choice on the Bandcamp page.
Uploaded
Another from RPM11 - when I went back to re-learn this one so I could transcribe it into the 8 bit format, I thought, "I'm really glad I came up with this riff."
Uploaded
From RPM11, which never saw a proper release...but here's an 8-bit revisit anyway.
Uploaded
Also from RPM10, I felt like I had to revisit this one just because I love the absurd time signatures.
Uploaded
Moving on to RPM10, which although the sound quality was relatively poor remains one of my favorite albums I've written.

First "real" song I finished, way back in the day for RPM09, and that pointed the direction for where things would eventually go.

Bonus points if you can figure out what this song is about before the end of the first verse.

Song basefile D, subset idea 31 of 38
As ever it is a rough concept and in general is a last minute cobble/fail.
Other than that, woohoo!

Song basefile B, subset idea 9 of 14
As ever it is a rough concept and the lyrics and vocals are a last minute cobble/fail.

This was the 12th song started this month and it's the 14th song finished. It's important in that it officially makes me a winner for FAWM this year, but it's unimportant for the RPM Challenge as this puppy goes straight to the dropped song list…

This is the 13th song finished. It was both the 15th and the 20th song started. It's a long story.
I was in the car recording vocals and it started raining. When I finished the tracks I needed to finish I pointed the microphone at the sun…

It's basically a punk rock song about yoga. I have spend a lot of time during quarantine following along with https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene

Carl was inspired by Bruce Springsteen's "Western Stars" album and wrote this song. As with other of his songs, I imported his recording of him playing guitar and singing and then added a few other things. There is a lot in the words here.

Clarinet played into an empty tube that formerly held a bottle of Scotch, which may have had some unconscious influence on the rough melodic form. Picked up by two contact mics into a Zoom H4n recorder. Submitted to Sound-In for 26/2-4/3/2021.

This one seems destined for the dropped list. It's just kinda blah. The verses remind me of a King Crimson Projekct song and I can't remember the title. Something from Scarcity of Miracles (great album, by the way). The choruses remind me…
