Not really a "Fun in the sun" Beach song. More like a Beach at midnight.
Still, there is a pretty big Beach Boys influence here, I think. The backing vocals were staggered to sound like waves breaking on the beach. Not 100% sure it worked…

I don't write love songs very often. Because I'm not good at them. I liked the sort of bittersweet quality of this tune, though. If the RPM deadline had left me more time, I probably would have added a quick ascending bass line right before…
Uploaded
The title is borrowed from a line from an old Simpsons episode, but there is no other lyrical connection, it's just a quickly-written ditty about the excitement that accompanied my first RPM. I hope to eventually do a full band arrangement of this.

Kind of a Neil Young impression, I guess.
You know what's ironic? I think this was the only song on the album I didn't use a metronome to record.
Uploaded
I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I think I did a good job of summoning up a mellow, trippy atmosphere with a relatively minimalist arrangement (acoustic guitar, two pianos, lead vocal, and a guitar solo).

I'm not the best singer. In fact, I'm probably a contender for the WORST singer. But I'm also a huge Beach Boys fan, so I will sometimes do ambitious vocal arrangements like this.

I was consciously trying to do minimalist arrangements on this album. I suppose I must have felt that two guitars and a bass were necessary here.
The backing vocals came out pretty good on this one. And there's some nifty bass on verse 2.

I'm not gonna lie to you: this isn't one of my best. It's RPM. It happens.
Try listening to "Beach". I think that one's pretty cool.
