I don't wanna lose you
And if I choose you

I don't wanna lose you

Beware all ye who enter here. This song's a stern warning that being the front man of a band is not what it's cracked up to be. Consider yourself warned.

The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

Girls! Women! Birds! Chicks! This song's about all the pretty girls out there (and you know who you are)! This song celebrates each and everyone of them.

This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!

While the name of the song is a Spinal Tap reference, this one is almost a period piece, taking us back to the early 80s when record players and mixtapes were how we listened to and shared our music.

This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years.

Piano may be easier to write on, but some days it’s really difficult to record on.
I only need one good take. And since this is going in as MIDI, “one good take” just means that it needs to be mostly right. And jeebs, today was a day where I…
