Spoiler here: This song ends on a down note, but not to despair. The sequel to this disk starts right where this one fades off and will be titled "...Not Forgotten". This song was done in a way that implies a live show, like a few of the other…

Another synth driven track, exploring the new found instrument. My usual style of singing behind the beat doesn't work as well here as I would have liked, but it may get redone soon. We shall see.

Originally, this was not to be the title track, but as the album evolved it became more and more obvious that this was the overall tone of the collection - to not forsake one's dreams, faith or music due to the world intervening. My first attempt…

A strange blend of slide guitar and synth, both new techniques for me this year. This was originally just a way to learn how the synths worked, and was never really intended to be used on the album, but the low synth line ended up catchy enough…

The title is a reference to the rain in "Pain" and how once the pain is gone you feel like it's a new day.

Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…

The most ambitious tune; about a singer that starts out in the late sixties and ends up in the oldies-circuit doing his last big hit from 1982 three times a night.The vocal is a bit low in the mix. I might upload a special mp3-mix for Alonetone…

There are too many amazing quotes from this film to not sample them SOMEWHERE in my album. Time after time, the 'yo-yo master' line got me laughing, so I thought I'd pay homage to it.

One of my darker tracks. This tracks epitomises how RPM felt for me; A progressive struggle where I just got my head down and got stuck in with the thing. In a phrase, this track says to me "Just fucking get on with it."

Started recording this with no idea what to do with the sound. Wound up with three different vocal takes to choose from, didn't like any of them, used all of them.
