Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer's…

Another one where the riff came first, on the last day of RPM 2020 actually. Before all the craziness struck. I thought to myself "Oh self! That's a good riff! I will need to revisit it next year for RPM 2021." So I did. It also has a call-back…

Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…

What else can be said of the last 12 months? Everybody wants a piece of my time. Get in line.
The riff came first and I walked around for days just banging it out non-stop. Hammer-ons for fun and pleasure...

Originally I had a Motown idea in mind, and I kept my stomping and clapping, but the song seemed to lend itself to a more spacey-synthey feel, so I ran with it. I also am hinting a tiny (very tiny) bit at Joe Jackson's band's backing vocal styles…

She Cries Diamonds
Written By INT'L
She cries diamonds
Only when she’s sad
She cries diamonds
Only when she’s sad
She’s drowning in diamonds
Because everyday is so bad
She cries diamonds
When she's out in the rain
She cries diamonds…

Sometimes That Feels Like Going Home
Written by INTNL
Love is a song that only angels have sung
We try to harmonize but no one ever does
We’ll just scream until we lose our voice
And sometimes that feels like going home...

Love Is A Realization
Ate alone at a dead gas station
I don’t know my life
Filled up while sitting naked
I don’t wanna be right
They all run when they hear the sirens
Away like mice from lights
When everything returns to silence
Crawl…

Oleander Season
Written By Fictional Name
It’s oleander season
The cold is turning cool
The reeds are getting sharper
Lying in the pool
Millions of fireflies
Coming from the east
Songs of tomorrow
Songs of the beast
It’s oleander…

(Don’t Know Why) I’m Happy I’m Alive
Written By Fictional Name
Maybe if I just spent my time a little wiser
I could write myself a reminder
Frostbite has taken both of my thumbs
Language is what they're afraid of
It's a game of mystery…

Such A Bad Way
Written By Fictional Name
There’s some wine in the closet
There’s some beer in the fridge
Some people coming over
You know how it is
With all of the features
And of the fraud
Didn’t you miss me
Breaking all sorts of laws…

I walked away
from the choices I made
I'm lucky I can get old every day
A surprising reminder
I wish I had been kinder
In the words I never chose to say
Just listen to suspicion
Just go and pack…

Auto Machine

People there are machines
Same thing everyday
Slowly losing feeling
Until they get paid
But can't dare mention or question
What is a living wage?
And no emergency savings
To get out of this…

Waiting is Living

Wandering out of innocence, they look at you and lick their lips. I'm drunk as hell with shivers in my spine.
It could take awhile, feelings in aisles, forming lines for many miles. So, say things…

Great band. My brother and I listened to them on KCRW when driving around LA in 2009. Give your leftover change from the ice cream savings away.

This is unfinished and may need to be put to something other than a 12-bar blues, although it was fun to play. The words, blues, and voice don't quite go together but since I committed to writing and recording 5 songs in the month of February…

This is an ode to my spouse of over 46 years. He definitely brings out the best in me.

Music is one of my joys. I come late to it, so this is my story.

Going crazy with LFO's on everything and pitch shifting a voice recording of mine. It is sound painting. (or at least I hope so :)

This is my first complete song and it still needs lots of polishing. There are a few timing issues I need to resolve and some gaps to put in and omit. I also want to re-record my chorus vocal... but for the sake of getting something submitted…

This is a song about insomnia... on the longest night of the year.

This is a bonustrack. It's a leftover from my failed RPM 2019 when my laptop started breaking down halfway through February. I lost all the multitracks but could save some mp3-mixdowns.
