Awakening light breaks through
Whispers of a new beginning
A world fresh and true
Listless echoes fill the air
Nature's symphony in tune
A moment of pure beauty there

Are my rights human rights…

Song 8 for RPM 2024...In this one I'm playing around with a bit of chaos. It is also an attempt at creating a song in 7/8 :). I like it weird. I put in a quote from one of my favourite David Bowie songs as the outro.
Oh oh oh oh

2024 RPM Challenge idea number five becomes completed song number two.
This one is okay. The key change in bar number 66 is my favorite thing about it but I like the chorus too. Not a great song, but probably good enough to make this year…

I'm tired the way social media has negatively impacted people's lives. The song is a call to simply make time for people without phones.

Song idea number one for the 2024 RPM Challenge becomes finished song number one.
This might be the only song I like for this year's RPM Challenge. We'll see. Is the mix too reverby? Probably. I like it today but I might not like it tomorrow…

It uses a number of synth tracks with random note generators connected with rules about mode (D dorian), and basic timings (though it does…

Just had to do this. We've all had to deal with someone like this and in some ways might have wished at least for a moment we were them.

[Verse 1]
I just got a new method
Doing something that's better than the usual thing
When anxiety strikes, you use your lungs
Noticing how the space is filled up
Today is better than yesterday
And yesterday not as much as just this day…

I don’t want to wait, till the end, to have you
