You will own nothing

As usual, this turned out totally different from what I imagined. The new plot of the song turns out to be that black metal ghosts possess the souls of hillbillies at a barn dance. By the third wave of demonic energy, any yokels left alive are…

An experiment by singing randomly on top of a drum sample.

This is Song #8 for my RPM Challenge 2021. I suppose we would say this is the title track of the Album. It’s loosely about an old friend of mine who suffered with serious drug addiction. I composed it at my piano and did many versions - in the…

Looking at your resume, one key takeaway is there ain’t a single thing you know
Comparing the candidates I gotta say candidly there ain’t no place you can go
So we make an offer of a minimum salary

I'm not

I don't want to be

words lost their meaning
I cannot reach you anymore
you're stuck and
now we can't even talk

The seventh song started for this year's RPM Challenge is the 10th song finished. I now officially have both targets complete. 10 songs and 35 minutes. This year is officially successful. Granted, I still have 10 more songs in the pipeline…

This is the 10th and final song for my RPM Challenge 2021. It is a long piece inspired by Tchaikovsky's The Sick Doll. It opens and closes with a modified piano version from the beginning of Tchaikovsky's piece and then twists and turns into…

Karma Working Overtime

I can see that your tired and uninspired
A bit too wired to sleep

Set em up one at a time
Then knock em down to ease my mind

The only way to decide this bet
Is having you concede your place to me

As usual, the track titles have nothing to do with the actual music/sounds - I usually just pick something that fits with whatever theme/concept is in my head when it's time to get the cover art together. (This time around, it's power grid failures…

My mood keeps changing, something's broken

Originally I had a Motown idea in mind, and I kept my stomping and clapping, but the song seemed to lend itself to a more spacey-synthey feel, so I ran with it. I also am hinting a tiny (very tiny) bit at Joe Jackson's band's backing vocal styles…

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…

Similar to a couple of other tunes this year, the How Many More? chorus idea has been floating around my addled head for a few years, but again, it wouldn't come to shore. But in promising my ideas that I never give up on them, I tried it again…

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

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!
