This is my valentine to Shelley.

Walking through the fields Red peppers were stinging Climbing up the hill Webs were cast away Now etched in your history I begin to pray I pray For you to sing your song a final time it’s The only song that you ever knew I’m already forgetting…

You said you left me Years ago when My blind sight burned away Only silence cured this endless ringing To cue this passion play I could have loved you years ago now I left you in a haze I never knew that i Never really loved you anyways…

I’m Breaking loose I’m Tearing loose Shattering it so hard They'll Call it abuse of the world Take it out i’m Ditching it out Driving it so far They'll call it a theft of the world It's just another revolution it Just another way around Till…

It's the end of the modern queen Before we ever knew her She was gone from the scene So hurry and revive her Search and subscribe her today No no, ooh She went all Crazy barbarous, She so Needs a new publicist Slumming wasn’t part of the plan…

Step away step away Don't you dare That's your pedestal Don't you care about falling from grace? When we first met You sent me straight to the top without caring I didn’t care either I was so proud I'd say with a shout I'll take you all on So…

It's over baby it's over It's too late to explain Before we Blow up again Oh we thought that We were so much better than those People with their Problems why Couldn't they just Solve them So why Are we the Ones that get those stares…

Don't refrain Have no regrets You've made your choice On how it ends And this is what you want to say time to explain away to friends Our time is up For what we have For what we do It’s blind to blind We’ll have to bear Our testimony has to withstand…

each time I’d look at you I was looking for a breakthrough some emptied sigh, some reasons why everything I’d left behind reckless provisions for some blooming vine followed me, in the back of my mind forgive me, mother for the lamb…

rpm 2012 #12 hello finish line

Another strictly me-and-an-acoustic track. Mostly about a kind-of-unstable girl I knew way back before I knew better. Now I know better! Good closer.

Completed 1 minute to midnight on February 29th 2012. RPM, we are win! Sandbags took some of Savage's homemade stems and grew this in the closing hours of the RPM Challenge.

A song about a rather unsavory character. Fathers, lock up your daughters!

Best thing I've ever written. I still have no idea what it means.

I wrote this to be sung by a dear, now-departed friend who sadly committed suicide while working on a new album of very exciting material. I have a whole mess of "dead Kevin" songs which are in the wrong key, which I've been avoiding like the…

About twenty billion years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Roland's D50 was new, I found this patch called "spanisheart" and plunked down a new-agey tune. Which I promptly forgot about for years. Every now and then, I catch myself playing…

rpm 2012 #11 boom

Just a mellow one to round things off. Thanks for listening.
