10/8 with lots of supporting parts but no real melody. This song would definitely benefit from a vocal track, but alas I'm not much of a singer.
This was mixed using K-14 metering, which means most listeners will want to turn their speakers…

Recorded one of the very few rainy night we had this summer.

I wrote this in my head while I was getting my daughter to sleep.

Short, improvised song with lots of echo effect on the vocals

Just a simple song with acoustic guitar, vocals, real percussion (i.e. not programmed so not in time). I think it may have a little bit of bass at the start as well.

No it's not the Zep track....it's a bit of blues Reg style thinking of those poor folk who survived the levee breaking in New Orleans but had nothing and had lost loved ones.......

The first song of my RPM 2013 Album. I've processed my vocals so much you can't really understand what I'm singing. Which is not a bad thing.

And whether I live…

Toward You

With each new day I'll seek a way

Until then I can only see

Toward you

Dream Song

Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past
Rollin' through my head
Or was I driving in my car
Rain fallin' down

Strange animals in shadows by the road
I knew a secret
But I forget everything I'm told…

Well, one of my early Uke songs. Always popular (as it's over quicker) and a firm favourite of... mine! Have realised that with some gentle persuasion it could segue into Pinball Whizz-Bang! which is still in the melting pot! Watch this space. G:)
