Orignally from RPM '07 album; this one has been reworked quite a bit.
The lead vocal performance is particularly weak here but I'm rather pleased at how the "choir" vocals came out.

The first part of this was a "hidden" untitled track on my original RPM '07 album; the second part was conceived as an intro to "shortwave" but it seemed to make sense to re-sequence them this way.
Uploaded
Originally for (unfinished) RPM '08 album. This song and "shortwave" together probably required more component audio tracks than my entire RPM '09 album, which is one reason RPM '08 didn't see completion.

White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.

This song is about me having weird OCD-esque things. Most of the instruments were played by me, with the exception of the drums which were played by Isaac, some vocaling by Olivia, yelling and other stuff by Jacob, Erik, Nikki, Erika, Nihco, and…

This whole album being a part of the RPM Challenge, it was overall fairly rushed, although this is the most noticeably incomplete song. I recorded both a vocal and drum track to go along with this song, but they both did not record for some reason…

The instrument tracks were all recorded before I even attempted to sing this song, which was not a good idea as I cannot sing very well in the key of E major. Thus, this song does not exactly feature a good vocal part.

LYRICS:
Tonight when you go to sleep
I pray your god your soul is in too deep
Should you die before you wake
I'll know your life was a big mistake
I don't want to kill you
All I want is just to see your pain
I want you to suffer

This was supposed to be keyboard only, then the gtr part came and just kind of took it over. You should hear the original demo, it is very, very different. I happen to really like this song though, and for some reason love my little keys solo…

This was supposed to be a lot heavier and darker, but it sounded totally cheesy. I lightened it up, added piano and did about 11 different versions of the vocals for this, each one with completely different lyrics and melodies. The end part was…

The gtr came first, then the vox, then the bass. Bass players tend to really like this song.

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

So I find this riff on a older cassette of me noodling around. I liked the riff, and decided to do a song with it, semi-dronish, which really means literally no changes, just the riff with some overdubs for color. It was also an exercise is subtle…

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

This track is off my eponymous album from 2008 - lots of richly layered vocal harmonies, I was still learning how to record in Audacity at the time, so it's a little bit shakey, but I think it's a solid tune nonetheless.

I asked a sampling of peers to recall a story about elementary school. Sometimes they were traumatizing, others were funny. Mostly, I wanted to hear their most vivid recollections of the time period and give them an opportunity to re-remember them.
