*Lyrics* Looking down at the scars Seeing bars on your window There's a beauty In the broken life I see Don't cover the tears Glory in your flawed story Scratch the surface To let it bleed Roll up your sleeves We choose to sing…

This song had been a "fragment" for a couple of years -- a state the befalls many an aspiring melodic doodle, sound design or chord cadence. This time, the glockenspiel melody that formed the initial draft had another iterative polish, together…

If I'm being kind to myself, I'll say that I wrote this in a "through-composed" style. Truth is it probably required another verse etc., to nudge the song's story along and provide some semblance of structure. Instead, I was enjoying myself adding…

With thanks to FBJ Matt [https://fatboyjamz.bandcamp.com/] for the title, which inspired the lyrics and overall intent. The vocals are largely from synths (I input the melody and lyrics, the synth -- Vocaloid in this case -- generates the tone…

I don't sing many songs: this one's a duet with Sarah, who _can_ hold a note. Piano sound from Verve (the plug-in, not the band). I like the affected sounds: like socks & nails stuffed in the wires. Wonky zither from Vital, drone from x…

Like a king, my queen sits on the throne.

Sequel to the "Spectrum EP", Anthem is the first single released by Jahmahn Sheyin. Enjoy Reggae out of Nigeria.

It's a sick world we ya live in. And with the fulfillment of prophecies of endtimes unfolding, signs we can't miss, "We Call To You" takes our hearts back to Jah. #Jesussaves

This was rejected at a songwriter competition. You be the judge.

Fellas, you can be busy conquering the world, buh nah left ya woman dem lonely at home. Learn from Jahmahn, a certified lover man.

It's systemic, how dem a have and play we down. But a time is near and Babylon cyaan escape whaa come fi dem.

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number six becomes finished song number 12. I like this one. I thought about naming it "Hyperactive Zany" but thought better of it. The GarageBand drummer would have worked up quite a sweat if it were a real person…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number five becomes finished song number 11. I didn't even realize that song idea number five (literally the song's working title) was in 5/4 time. What a coincidence! Too bad the song wasn't better. It's kinda…

An electro instrumental track, with the occasional unintelligible vocals.

Let’s go save the planet Let’s stop all pollution It can’t really be that hard you’d think But it’s not what we want So we vote in fascists Guess that we’re just in it for ourselves I don’t know, what we can do anymore As I watch the…

Lying on a rooftop Head shot in my sights Finger on the trigger The time to shoot is right Oh yeah, I’m killing a billionaire We all saw it coming They knew we’d fight back It’s no use complaining You’re skull’s about to crack…

Stop telling me things that are just made up Stop making it hard when it’s so easy Stop shoving marbles inside my mouth Stop making me over and over think it Get me out of my head Stop everything I need to get off this train of thought…

A minimalist arrangement on this song, just piano and vocals, and a small synth solo. Lyrics I love you with dirt on your face and grey and tangled hair You don’t need to try to impress Because I just don’t care I only want you to…

I feel calm when it’s night Away from things that are bright Under the glow of the moon I’m happy If I could go back in time Take me to the 90’s that would suit me just fine I don’t like how things have turned out Since the tech bros…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 14 becomes finished song number 10. This isn't so bad. I used the just-loop-the-bass gimmick and while that sometimes works for me, this time it just feels super repetitive. Not bad, just not very good…

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 16 becomes finished song number nine. This one is decent. I wanted a little bit of a head banger on acoustic guitar. It works on that level. Rhythm guitars are a Takamine F-400 S 12-string into a Shure…

OK, this is my attempt at trying to get back into composing something again. It's not really what I was trying to produce, but I'm not fighting my lack of creativivity anymore.... so enjoy or whatever :) Everything but the vocal is me.

Possibly the last one for this years RPM The Only thing I feel The wind blew against the window and brought the morning I Sunlight hit the curtain and I’m sure it trying to break on through My senses woke to the smell of tobbaco…

“Homesick” was recorded and mixed on February 21-25, 2025. First half of "Homesick" was written and demo'ed on the evening of 8/10/2023. Second half of "Homesick" was written on 2/21/2025. This version of "Homesick" was recorded and mixed…

“Transient” was created and mixed on February 21-25, for the 2025 RPM Challenge. It is essentially a trance remix of "Homesick."

“The Everlasting” quick and dirty acoustic cover, with some awful singing. “The Everlasting” written by Bradfield/Moore/Wire, originally by Manic Street Preachers.

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number three becomes finished song number eight. I had this idea of having a shortish instrumental as the opening song of the album. Sort of like a prelude. I wish I had thought better because this "song" absolutely…
