So you feel like singing
All your friends say you'll go far
Be a star
You'd cut your arm off for those yesses
Sell your soul for just one more
But what for
You know it's only karaoke
Fake plastic art
It's OK you've got your mentors
And they really…

Walking through fields in winter
Cold breath in the air
The thorny gap where
The path that leads to the river
Crosses over the lea
And then heads out to the sea
When the fading light mutates into night
And you can't go home because you've got…

The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

When you speak
Random words projected out
When you hear
All ignored except the shout
Claiming that you want to be
One of the last to shake the tree
When you see
And your eyes reflect the past
When you feel
But the question's not yet asked
As…

When you sat in all the cheap seats
With the money that you paid
I recall the optimism
Then the contempt that you displayed
I had nothing to say to you
On the day you lied
When they had to clear the harbour
To drain the sewage that was there…

It's six in the morning but it feels like it's ten
The pain in your head has returned once again
It was your answer, your bounty, your prayer
You consumed more than you were aware
(Chorus)
What goes up must come down
Denial overcomes the doubt…

With the flick of a switch when the light ran away
And the last scraps of daylight abandoned
Instead of feeling secure inside the cozy retreat
There were noises just outside on the landing
When the shadows crept through the deepening gloom
A twinkle…

You shouldn't try to keep your secrets
And then just run off to confess
I'm sure you've got your own reasons
To fight the movement to suppress
Acting parts in your own theatre
But going blind under the spotlight
(Chorus)
Even though it's all…

The final part of any space flight is re-entry and splashdown (or landing if you're Russian). 4000 degrees of burning heat protected by just a heat shield.
I was aiming for a mixture of fear and euphoria in this one. The final words are from Dave…

Each moon landing could only spend a short time on the surface before it was time to leave.
Buzz Aldrin's words on the moon struck me as very descriptive so they became the title. To be fair, I let Neil Armstrong do much of the vocals on this…

The Command Module pilot was the most isolated person in the history of mankind once his two crew mates had started their descent to the lunar surface.
The spoken words start off as my own and then quote Michael Collins the Command Module pilot…

Another one that didn't really have a home. I think it started out as a songfight idea from back in 2008 or so. Not sure I like this recording as much as the old one.

Entering orbit. No one's ever seen before the backside of the moon. The moment of parting when the lunar crew leave the Command Module pilot and enter the Lunar Module.
A three part song written over the whole of RPM12, the orbit piece at the…

The approach to the moon.
This one was going to have lyrics around the second melody piece, but nothing fitted and I decided it was more appropriate to just have it as an instrumental.

The men on the moon missions were the first and only people to have seen the Earth for what it is, a bubble of air in space. Imagine...
Had a mare with the lyrics on this. It's really hard not to accidentally nick stuff from Bowie.

Liftoff. Nuff said.
My favourite track of RPM12. Played it to the people in the office and they were very kind.

The moon is silent and has no interest in what happens on earth. Timeless.
This was the first thing I wrote for RPM12. Really struggled with it.

The mission is to go to the moon. How?
Second song written for RPM12, had hoped to have more of the question and answer lyrics that you hear in part three on the album, but...

Semi-instrumental jam. Tracks started as intentional chaos, and then I edited them into sanity as best I could.

I got stuck on a silly little musical phrase, noodling around with it on the piano, unable to let go of it and unable to really develop it into something more.
I recorded myself playing a number of variations as I searched in vain for a deeper…

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death
And from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart

From a phone booth in Vegas
Jessie calls at five a.m.
To tell me how she's tired of all of them
She says, "Baby, I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea
We could go to Mexico; You, the cat and Me
We'll drink tequila and look for seashells…

Sometimes, it's hard
To make things clear
Or know when to face the truth
And I know that the moment is here
I'll open my heart
And show you inside
My love has no pride
I feel with you I've got nothing to hide
So open your eyes
And see who I…

Please release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore
To waste our lifes would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
I have found a new love, dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Release me my darling…

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.
Love me tender,
love me long,

March 1, 2012. RPM is over... Now what? How about we go back in time and dig up all of the songs that have been laying around unfinished, unrecorded, or poorly recorded and finish them off? Sounds good to me.
There is another version of this…

Walking through the fields
Red peppers were stinging
Climbing up the hill
Webs were cast away
Now etched in your history
I begin to pray
I pray For you to sing your song a final time
it’s The only song that you ever knew
I’m already forgetting…

You said you left me Years ago when
My blind sight burned away
Only silence cured this endless ringing
To cue this passion play
I could have loved you years ago now
I left you in a haze
I never knew that i Never really loved you
anyways…
