2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 19 becomes finished song number 20.
The 20th and final song worked on for this year's RPM. I think we're going out on a high note this year. I like this one. Everything is working for me except for the…

I decided to try a few different things this year for RPM. This is the single (along with a b-side to make a playlist) I'm using to show I completed RPM. All told I had six songs and could have listed an EP, but the songs all need a bit more…

If you're watching, you know. If not, stay away from the elevator.
It has a certain appeal
Disconnecting from half of your life
Getting through the day by forgetting who you are
No need to find a way
Not remembering all that went wrong…

Straw can be light and golden yellow
Is often used to stuff our pillows
Straw is the hay you see in the fields
All those hay bales give good feels
The scarecrow of Oz was made of straw
though his brain held nothing at all

Do I like this because of the swing groove, or in spite of it? I don't know.

I kinda like this one. I think it's going onto the final RPM Challenge album. I just wish I couldn't hear the keys on the saxophone clicking. I don't think I've ever…

In an interview, David Lynch once called Eraserhead his most spiritual film. When asked if he wanted to expand on that, he replied "no".
This might be my most spiritual song.

Meh. Waste of a good guitar solo in the outro.

Verse 1:
I woke up with a feeling deep down in my soul,
The world keeps on turning, but it’s out of control.
Storm clouds are rising, you can hear the thunder roll,
But I know my Saviour’s in control.

Titles are hard.

A bit of Frankenstein of a song, lyrics cobbled from old lyric fragments, with variations on bass and melody and piano motifs, like I couldn't make my mind up where it was heading. Something about it, so has made the cut!

The song's about betrayal: about mixing with the wrong crowd, who then drop you from a great height. It's a love song. Maybe I should find a twee skirmish instead of relying on that Muse.

The song started life as more sonic doodles using the Numanesque 1979 synth emulators -- so if you think it's 80s, you're a year out!
Was also working on transitions from verse to chorus (as I've listened to too many fawmers doing this rather…
