High 'n Mighty (t boudreau) Well look who made it halfway I truly must be blessed I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess And I always do it my way I make it up as I go along I think I earned some slack to take a…

Frankenstein Sound Lab pays homage to the Shangri-Las. After a fashion.

rpm 2012 #10 I decided that after that last one I had earned a drone

Feels like a lifetime ago that I wrote this back in 2002; sometimes it's good to remember .

Is it time for shouting yet?

Shouty 12-bar. Just because.

Just a mellow one to round things off. Thanks for listening.

rpm 2012 #11 boom

About twenty billion years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Roland's D50 was new, I found this patch called "spanisheart" and plunked down a new-agey tune. Which I promptly forgot about for years. Every now and then, I catch myself playing…

I wrote this to be sung by a dear, now-departed friend who sadly committed suicide while working on a new album of very exciting material. I have a whole mess of "dead Kevin" songs which are in the wrong key, which I've been avoiding like the…

Best thing I've ever written. I still have no idea what it means.

A song about a rather unsavory character. Fathers, lock up your daughters!

Another strictly me-and-an-acoustic track. Mostly about a kind-of-unstable girl I knew way back before I knew better. Now I know better! Good closer.

rpm 2012 #12 hello finish line

Don't refrain Have no regrets You've made your choice On how it ends And this is what you want to say time to explain away to friends Our time is up For what we have For what we do It’s blind to blind We’ll have to bear Our testimony has to withstand…

It's over baby it's over It's too late to explain Before we Blow up again Oh we thought that We were so much better than those People with their Problems why Couldn't they just Solve them So why Are we the Ones that get those stares…

Step away step away Don't you dare That's your pedestal Don't you care about falling from grace? When we first met You sent me straight to the top without caring I didn’t care either I was so proud I'd say with a shout I'll take you all on So…

It's the end of the modern queen Before we ever knew her She was gone from the scene So hurry and revive her Search and subscribe her today No no, ooh She went all Crazy barbarous, She so Needs a new publicist Slumming wasn’t part of the plan…

I’m Breaking loose I’m Tearing loose Shattering it so hard They'll Call it abuse of the world Take it out i’m Ditching it out Driving it so far They'll call it a theft of the world It's just another revolution it Just another way around Till…

You said you left me Years ago when My blind sight burned away Only silence cured this endless ringing To cue this passion play I could have loved you years ago now I left you in a haze I never knew that i Never really loved you anyways…

Walking through the fields Red peppers were stinging Climbing up the hill Webs were cast away Now etched in your history I begin to pray I pray For you to sing your song a final time it’s The only song that you ever knew I’m already forgetting…

This is my valentine to Shelley.

Don't really remember the story for this...written smack dab in the middle of Feb in RPM madness...it happenened, then I moved on and I let go of it...Mike Novak on egg...another song where I waited for a drummer friend to show up that never did...

March 1, 2012. RPM is over... Now what? How about we go back in time and dig up all of the songs that have been laying around unfinished, unrecorded, or poorly recorded and finish them off? Sounds good to me. There is another version of this…

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so. Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin' I love you, and I always will. Love me tender, love me long, take me to…

Please release me, let me go For I don't love you anymore To waste our lifes would be a sin Release me and let me love again I have found a new love, dear And I will always want her near Her lips are warm while yours are cold Release me my darling…

Sometimes, it's hard To make things clear Or know when to face the truth And I know that the moment is here I'll open my heart And show you inside My love has no pride I feel with you I've got nothing to hide So open your eyes And see who I…

From a phone booth in Vegas Jessie calls at five a.m. To tell me how she's tired of all of them She says, "Baby, I've been thinking about a trailer by the sea We could go to Mexico; You, the cat and Me We'll drink tequila and look for seashells…

You are far When I could have been your star You listened to people Who scared you to death And from my heart Strange that you were strong enough To even make a start But you'll never find Peace of mind Till you listen to your heart People…
