RPM Challenge 2016

RPM Challenge 2016

Another simple little one. I tried on a few occasions to just roll tape while sitting in front of a mic with an acoustic and see what happens. Short snippets of lyrics would come out while I was playing the first thing to pop into my head, and…

This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…

Aliens thought they knew the best means to attack us, but their intelligence was a little dated. Lyrics : another forgotten signal TV tuned to UHF dead air an abandoned station snowy light red screen of death green men plotting conquest…

Amidst the Irish country side, a drunken chap encounters wee folk, but not the sort he was expecting. Lyrics just a recycled tale from the days of old when many a drunk irishman looked for his pot of gold gallavanting wassling through…

Vault 106 will be remembered. Lyrics the past haunting me in triplicate into the blue I pursue my ghosts again what is the glue holding all this together? is there a clue to allow me to remember? is their some truth buried…

I told this song in three parts/colors. Kind of like 'Love Song' by Tesla, if Tesla was working in 16 bit.

Robot completely failed the Turing Test, but the novelty Nixon mask he picked up at a thrift store allows him to pass amongst humanity undetected.

Robot gets hit by a car crossing through Kelley Square (Had he passed the Turing Test, he would have known not to try that.) He ascends into the Chinese Room, where he has access to total knowledge through an infinite number of fortune cookies.

Big Dumb Rocker Alert. Also, lyrics inspired by a post on the Florida Man twitter account (link below). Everything I was doing was slow and kinda quiet. So I wrote something fast and noisy and gave it lyrics about a guy who tries to pay…

Our dreams can be very vivid and realistic - there are days I think all of reality is simply somebody thinking about (or remembering?) us. Lyrics I'm not the god of thee you're just my memories as I remember them [see the scenery…

Sample info : Librivox Audio Recording https://archive.org/details/she_0802_librivox Book : She Author : H Rider Haggard Chapter 21 : The Dead And The Living Meet Sample was passed through the EVPMaker application.

The Chinese believe if you perform a certain choreographed routine while aboard an elevator, the elevator will open a door to 'somewhere else'. [Addendum : It's heavily formatted, but I want to point out I did use Chris Carignan's DjentBot…

One can hear a lot of interesting things in the silence of the night (particularly when their plumbing freezes).

When magic and technology cross paths, all heck will break loose. Lyrics I can't help believing that this course she can't stop weaving a part of her deceiving herself that this is right She focuses fate her intentions transferred…

There is a challenge on the FAWM Forum to write a song using the Ice Cream Chords. I–vi–IV–V. I took that challenge twice this year. This was the first try, and by far the better of the two (although that isn't saying much). On this song I…

Eh. I thought it would be cool to write something in drop D and then play it on a 12 string. Then I could drop two D's! HarHarHar. The lyrics are about how scary some of Donald Trumps followers are. If he wins in November I'm moving to…

This one had throw away written all over it from the first moment I thought of it. It's my second entry in the Ice Cream Chords challenge over at FAWM.org. I kept this one in Major and it's just as fruity as one would expect. The lyrics are…

It's an emergency It's time to follow through This fateful spell This hateful shell This view If only you'd permit yourself To see the vision before your eyes The intervening years The fading cheers The garden full of wine (Chorus…

Scarf tied to hide the face Lurking in the shadows Entertained by every chase Covertly underexposed Tag it And admire it Then on to the next wall Fluorescent basement sign Hiding in the rat run Phosphorescent alibi Stylistic but overdone…

Woke up late again today Just in time to catch the matinee Filling up on TV Another coffee And a smoke Back to sleep until midday Ignore the morning cabaret Never met the postman Bills delivered But never read (Chorus) Stuck in…

Drowning in a sea of pills Testing their performance Keep from slipping off downhill Accept this circumstance Jump right back in to the fray Expect reaction no delay (Chorus) Balance, it’s the new mantra Balance, the new prayer Balance…

Looking back, travelled so far A green outline all that's left Floating off, no more sunset All the memories seem bereft Moving faster, increasing speed Boosters dropped long ago A silhouette against the starlight Much more time, now…

This city is dangerous It cuts like a knife Traffic flowing down a one way street No time to fight Overtime not injury time Shots ring out on Kings Road Double blasts of shotgun Pay back what’s been owed (Chorus) The city's pulling…

Twisting and flapping Never making sense At the end of the argument Offered no defence Stacking the odds Before the debts accrue A sign of the times A case of déjà vu (Chorus) Tongue, bite your tongue Tongue Declaring the winner…

If you get rid of me The tower will fall down Can’t wait to see the back of me Not hard to push around That's what you wanted all along But your prediction’s very wrong (Chorus) Taking flight the raven turns and then escapes Wraps its…

See that post? They see it too Tracking down your latest move Right or wrong, they don't care Intercepting as you share And I bet you feel secure at home Check the blinds you’re not alone (Chorus) Ever get that subtle feeling That they…

Standing on a tightrope Stranded in midair Struggling to balance Mortality aware Scared of looking downwards As the drop below is much too far The pole is getting heavy Sliding through the hands Braced against the headwind Submit to…

...a song Rick Babb wrote, trying to imagine what it must be like for me, to be loved by Peggy Mitchell. Yesterday (Now, many years ago) Rick Babb came over to Fort Worth to deliver some equipment to Bass Hall for a concert. We had dinner and…

This is kind of a Christmas song, and I know it's on thin ice. Even Paul McCartney wrote a sh*tty Christmas song. So I can, too, eh? ;-)

Latest iteration, trying to corral the trumpets! This tune is for a buddy who is old enough to know better but bought himself a three-wheeler anyway. I thought he needed a road song!

Verse One I try to follow even fall in line To better things Did you really leave behind Your words Verse Two You speak in slilence eyes a mystery I reach for hope But it slips from me like sand Pr Chorus And I, am breathing a lie…

Another Demo. This one was actually the first I wrote in the set. I figured the others would be harder to do so I did them first. Verse One The sun is setting on my Thoughts I can’t find Where I left my peace of mind Am I falling through…

Just getting the demos uploaded somewhere - These will act as the refrence tracks for when I go to record the cnext album Ash from the fireplace, driftin' like ghosts in the air Smoke on the ceiling, still clings to the cold in my hair Flickers…

Rough stab at a kinda different sound, and my first use of some drum sounds from an obsolete synth. Your comments are invited, but please be kind! :-)

Breaking up song - ai demo, my lyrics.

Song that touches the heart ❤️ of soulmates

Another Demo, only two more to go. Verse One I’ve walked past the alter like a ghost With my hands in pocket afraid to reach Seen too many flames far too close Watched others burned, will none survive Verse Two I’ve lit candles just…
