Who says 3/4 time can't rock? This was originally from my 2013 RPM Challenge when, for some strange reason, pretty much everything I did just worked. Even the crappy songs from that album are less crappy than usual.

This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel.

Going to start uploading (some of) the old RPM archive. because.
I remember this one came out of being mildly irked how many waltz-rhythm pop and alternative songs had "waltz" in the title. Why never a gavotte? A sarabande?

Another song from my 2013 RPM Challenge album. I always like this one, but I'm not sure I did it justice this time. There is a lot of really sloppy guitar playing, even if the Klon KTR overdrive pedal sounds EPIC. Sorry, gear nerd.

It’s like floating down a river
