Wrote this after I was getting over an illness. I think it came out pretty good, and my guitar sounds good through that '64 Ampeg Reverberocket.

If you are wondering, the song is about the boardgame Ticket to Ride, but I can't call the song that. I call the scoring marker a "dingus".

This suffers from "last track syndrome", I started it with only two days to go and I didn't have time for any re-takes.

My plan was to take part in the "two hour track Sunday" event on Reddit, which starts at 4 pm every Sunday. I couldn't wait and did this at 2 pm.

I spent days obsessing over the baseline for this song, and it ends up being fairly unremarkable and will be barely noticed on most speakers.

It's tough to go wrong with a song like this. Not only is it wholly unoriginal, but I think I am exactly ripping someone off. I can't place the exact song, though.

Place In The Sun

And scatter thoughts for no one to find
It’s the restless heart that simply come's apart
Forever searching for a new start
No I’m not one to ever come…

Overdose On Humanity

Unsure if we'll ever land

Half of our lives are spent waiting

Leaves us contemplating…

So Many Things

Trying to find a reason for sticking around

Take a back seat or take the wheel and drive
And it feels so right - like walking on air…

First Lie

I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs

All I remember is I wanted to play with my harmonica (a bit like when El Hefe wants to play trumpet in NOFX, I guess).
The melody is in part similar to/got suggested to me by/ Fats Waller's 'Ain't Misbehavin'. The vocal explosion resource at…

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.

There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)

No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!

As you may have picked up on, there's a lot this year about soldiering on when your world has been destroyed. So, this is a song of hope. Have faith, have faith...

You are loved, imperfect as you may be. It's easy to hate yourself, but hard to do the opposite. This song holds out that hand to pull you up.

This one was a hard one to nail. The Wurlitzer riff was something I accidentally played and fell in love with immediately, so I needed to write a song that enhanced the mood that the tone of the Wurly evoked. The sound is so empty and spacious…

Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…

When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'

It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…

The song that led the way. I came up with the guitar sound first, and needed a song that evoked the pure energy that was coming from that guitar sound. It needed to be fast and intense. And it needed harmonies. We're full abandon 'cause it's time…
