The song titles have nothing to do with the lyrics. They were just cool placeholders...then they ended up staying the titles. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all…

RPM2023. February, the month of concessions. I didn't have the time to put into the original idea that I had for this year, so first concession, put that on the back burner and instead do something a little, or a lot, simpler. A collection…

I now have 10 songs mixed for this year's RPM Challenge. There's still more to do, but if I wanted to I could stop right now and call it a win. Allow me to pat myself on the back for a second or two. I like this one. I think. I would like…

Calm your senses for the hypnotist Convex phrases oh so delicate I’m testing if you’re worthy You’re waiting patiently Better forgive me now, before I find a new low Better regret me now, the devil you think you know Better that you…

In the age of information you can’t call it intuition when the answer’s written up in the stars On an island you’re so sure of, caught a cold there is no cure for, ever struggling to catch every breath And I don’t remember asking you And…

A paper empire, built off our sweat, a too well traveled trail. A river’s rapid flow that carries you, well beyond the pale. Now you’ve gotten what you need Fairy tales forgotten And you taken what you please And paid us next to nothing…
