I played this one fairly straight. It still sounds a lot like the raw 30 second idea I recorded on my phone in an elevator in Chicago in early Feb of 2010 and discovered this RPM season. It's not about what you think it is.

This one is a bit off the beaten path for me, but was fun to record. It has some great tonal coloring happening throughout, so take a listen. See if you can guess what it's about...

The title track to my 2012 RPM Challenge album. The words say it all. I had some fun doing the 70's harmonies near the very end of the tune.

Here's a recent poem of mine, set over a bed of house...
Uploaded
I promised you the world again
Everything within my hands
All the riches one could dream
They will come from me
I hoped that you could understand
That this is not what I had planned
Please don’t worry now
It will turn around
Cause I need more…

For percussion I used objects that were lying around my house at time I recorded this - a pair of scissors opening and closing is one, but i forget the others (it was 12 years ago). The lyrics were pretty much improvised

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

Dim fears seeming true.

Don't buy it. He is alive
In our midst today.

And grey flannel suit

Thwarts those who say "nay."
Piltdown buys and sells…
