When you sat in all the cheap seats
With the money that you paid
I recall the optimism
Then the contempt that you displayed
I had nothing to say to you
On the day you lied
When they had to clear the harbour
To drain the sewage that was there…

It's six in the morning but it feels like it's ten
The pain in your head has returned once again
It was your answer, your bounty, your prayer
You consumed more than you were aware
(Chorus)
What goes up must come down
Denial overcomes the doubt…

The moon is silent and has no interest in what happens on earth. Timeless.
This was the first thing I wrote for RPM12. Really struggled with it.

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…

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.

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

Feels like a lifetime ago that I wrote this back in 2002; sometimes it's good to remember .

Michael and Theodore

Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids
The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb
Why?
Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily
Dealt with things our own way…

My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme.

I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.
There was no chance I was wasting any time during RPM with a learning process.
Today, I got the opportunity to install the software and plug it in. This…

I really wish I had the voice for this one... it could use a good singer.

Finally something reasonably heavy! Rock on! Climate change is a real thing. Denying it doesn't change that. End political statement.

My hands are trembling. It’s about to begin.
Slow and predictable, the waves vibrate the ground. The entry is innocuous enough, like a distant bass rumble of a party 3 blocks away, but it seeps inside. And thus begins the delight.
Wait, why…

Ahh, drone. Funny how extremely slow, repetitive, yet heavy phased guitars drown out the world and still make a melodious impact. Technically not much I would agree, but after listening to Xela's recitation, man, it just moves me.
There is a done…

A song about vanity and how it can drive one to a false sense of supremacy and righteousness … and how the simplicity of the forces of nature can challenge this predicament …
I've been messing with the scale and tempo of this tune for the past…

hollow eyes

truthfully i just don't care

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.

I find it difficult to believe this is all Midi instruments.
The Midi guitars, bass & leads, I ran through amp sims.
The drums are all Midi. 7 tracks.
Kicker, snare, 2 tom tracks, high hat, tambourine, and a cowbell.
All done on the keys…
