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...

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…

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…

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…

And now a complete change. I like variety, and this introduces a new feel to the record. Until the mid-section, when the spacey connection returns, though in a subtle way.

The Again, Again, Again line and melody has been flowing through my brain since 2017 or so. But if we are merely vessels for songs that are waiting to come to our shores, I was a leaky boat for a very long time and couldn't make the journey without…

I saw her dancing, like the light on the ocean,
I lay back down, looked up to the sky.
The sun beat red and joined the horizon,
the day was fading as she was coming alive.
As the sun set on Bloody Foreland,
I lay by the sea, dreamt on a…

We're so quick to judge others. We really shouldn't.
This one follows the tone of It Mattered To No One Else. I actually had a lot more song ideas like these two that I thought would end up being the whole record. But it didn't happen that…

I see the fire on the mountain,
thunder cracks in the air,
the cold air leaves me breathless,
waves break ahead.

I tend to just say a filler line and that ends up being the only lyric I have time to ever (never) develop.

As I have mentioned in other years, I am so very blessed to have some songs come to me in my dreams. Grace is one of them. The specific line "Grace, grace, grace! You don't have to be a lonely child" is what I retained in my waking moments so…

No life remains in balance,

I really need to give up singing, but I really like to do it. Meaningless lyrical content as always.

So here is the more melodic 2nd movement to my 1st Piano Concerto in C Minor.....

A new song.
I did this one on my own

All those internet desperado's

With their keyboard bravado

It's so easy to rant and yell

Again, like "All The Good Notes Are Taken", I needed to use this title so I just came up with some music. The "song" is because of the title!
