This song is one of the few i wrote just for Abide. I've been listening almost
non-stop to Dylan's latest release and this is what I got out of it. I mean no
disrespect to Bob, just trying to sing my songs.

This is one of the songs I wrote for Filthy Time that's been hiding
in the back of a notebook waiting for music to be chugged out. I'm
really glad I let this seep for a while before letting loose.

Supposed to be the biggest joke on this album, Candle turned more into an actual
like-able song. I was trying to make fun of Sonic Youth stuff, but it ended up
growing and becoming an instant Mud Octave classic track. The Lyrics were written…

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned
out great. Maybe a little too Velvet Underground. Maybe nothing is ever too
Velvet Underground... Written just for Abide.

Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is
somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This
was written as a poem before I started writing Slumber Love.
Uploaded
Not much to say about this but that it's one of the first songs I actually
wrote down every note for. I think that makes it a small cut above most of my
instrumental songs.

A couple months in a metal band called Season's Legion inspired this song. The
lyrics were written in what we (Katie Lawrence Co-wrote) thought would be what
their singer would have written for this type of song. The title was supposed
to be…

I don't know if even I can tell, but this is inspired by Captain Beefheart's
Trout Mask Replica. Ok, maybe its not so well hidden. Katie Lawrence can be heard
on this track, recording this having never seen the lyrics prior to.

Drinking coffee at my modest kitchen table around noon, after just waking up, I

This was supposed to be my "folky" track, but I love the way this turned out.
It was originally written Napalm Shoot up but My Chair took it's place on that
album.

I've never heard "Horse with No Name" all the way through, and i wasn't trying to
rip it off, but i really like the melody i wrote for this and it turned out to fit
perfectly with the sound of the bass. Really proud of my composing on this track…

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the
opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any?
I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and
sweet.

Track 9 from the RPM 2009 challenge album. This one is the odd-one-out from the album. I wanted to do something in February to commemorate Abraham Lincoln's Bicentennial. Of all the concepts I had, this is the only one to make it on the challenge…

I remember the tears in your eyes

all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound

stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me

the still and quiet
I will succumb…

Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!

Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".

Another ol' Irish song about drinkin' and smokin'. Who knew?

This song's extremely popular and so has been done to death. We decided if we were going to re-make this one, we had to try something new. So, we hit on the 7/4 time signature, the melodica (thought it was bagpipes, didja?), and arrangement. By…

This old song had a lot of braggin' in it. So, we couldn't resist giving it a bit of the old skool hip-hop flavor.

We couldn't resist breaking out the traditional Irish instruments halfway through this one and going all Celtic on your arse.

Beatnik Turtle's take on another ol' Irish classic.

Have you ever heard a traditional Irish folk song re-worked as a ska song? No? How about with an additional Spanish horn riff? Well, now you have! This song tells the story of an unfortunate guy who hooks up with a girl in the kitchen of her boss…

This was the song that launched the entire SHAM ROCK album. This is what happens when you turn up the tempo, crank the volume, and add a horn section.

Another Irish classic. This song tells the story of a group of pub regulars who, upon learning that the pub is on fire, head to the cellar to drink all the booze. You know, cuz it's free that way. What's a few burns?

Mick McGuire was "all that" when he was dating the family's older daughter (who was 40). As soon as he married her and spent all the money, poor Mick was subjected to his Mother-In-Law. Mother-in-Laws have gotten a bad wrap for hundreds of years.

Lyric:
SHE
She,
Shes never far away from me.
She always gives me what I need.
So that I never want.

She's my whole world.
She,
She watches over me.
