Just an improvisation for ImprovFriday - recorded on my Zoom H2 in the expensive acoustic guitar room at my local guitar center.
I had to switch to mono because I had the zoom too sensitive and created a series of pops on one channel. This…

This starts at essentially the same improvisation pattern and then travels elsewhere - I think I like the Martin version better myself. This one is in stereo.

Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!

One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)

Like to feel the falling rain
Shed my brittle skin
Maybe hard enough to face tomorrow
Find out soon enough, find out soon enough
And the river is clean enough to touch
And it washes away the bitterness
Cleaner than the falling snow
Melting…

The same name calls me father
Reject the pharaohs promise
Hit one and feign the other
Another pyramid to build
The sky rejects the other
Full frontal luminescent
Hit twice but feeling nothing
Another suicide dispenser
Feel smaller shame the pathetic…

It's a song where we can sing along
All the day and all the night
Shoot the breeze if you can't sing it right
Dance away now melody, dance away now
It's the way to fail more gracefully
See me jump up and fall to pieces
It's sad…

So wide awake the hands are still
Too tired to keep them silent
It barely pokes above the surface
It hardly registers among the crowd
So long and waves the farwell
We’d better tell the authorities
Goodbyes are so beautiful

Seasons start to change without much worry
Ordinary days no reason to remain
The clouds will force the rain realize its glory
Nothing keeps us sane better start to hurry
Slow monkey cabin fever

Used to feel the same as me
So warm inside
Used to care too much to see
The other side
You’re so far outside the lines
Your shapes distorted, undefined
Your color choices too
A wash and blurry, through and through
Visualize, love saves…

You say the world is too complicated
You say close your eyes forget it all
Nobody sold me a bridge in the desert
Nobody remembers with our eyes closed tight
You say somedays just a point of view
You say someones not much different

She wanted more than the story, but nobody told her
I hear the insane are hardly worth the medication
But she'd like the story just the same, for when she gets older

My hope erased by the wages of sin
I have no way to break the ice
I’m frozen with chains of tomorrow
I have no fear of getting through
The feelings I lost without starting

Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…

Another basement practice song as you can tell by the initial hiss. Mostly beautiful, kind of self-indulgent and a little longish in parts. I also don't remember what this one is called.

A nice solid punchy classic Prozac offering. Love the bass on this song. Also from the basement.

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Acoustic blues. Recorded in 2005. I was trying to record something else, can't remember what, and the missus was going out. She had cyclist Lance Armstong's book, or was talking about it. Sounded like a great title for a song as well as his book…

A pop-rock thingy recorded in 2006. Can't remember too much about it except that it was a new song then, I spent an inordinate amount of time on the lyrics and arrangement, and wasn't that happy with it when I was done(!).

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

Rock instrumental. Recorded Christmas 2008.
I'd struggled with a DAW. I'd stopped recording. And then my lovely wife got me a Boss MBR for Christmas. I thought this little thing the size of a fag-packet would be a nice "scratch-pad" songwriting…

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.

Another Apple Garage Band session. I thought this had a little bit of a Joe Satriani feel to it so called it Satcheroni. :)
I'm nowhere near the level of the guy, but he is an influence.
Just me plugged in to the laptop again, using the Garageband…
