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

I never managed to get this one to work before.

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

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!

Completed 1 minute to midnight on February 29th 2012. RPM, we are win!
Sandbags took some of Savage's homemade stems and grew this in the closing hours of the RPM Challenge.

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.

each time I’d look at you
I was looking for a breakthrough
some emptied sigh, some reasons why
everything I’d left behind
reckless provisions for some blooming vine
followed me, in the back of my mind
forgive me, mother for the lamb…

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

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

It's the end of the modern queen

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

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…

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,

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

I got stuck on a silly little musical phrase, noodling around with it on the piano, unable to let go of it and unable to really develop it into something more.
I recorded myself playing a number of variations as I searched in vain for a deeper…

Semi-instrumental jam. Tracks started as intentional chaos, and then I edited them into sanity as best I could.

The mission is to go to the moon. How?
Second song written for RPM12, had hoped to have more of the question and answer lyrics that you hear in part three on the album, but...
Uploaded
The moon is silent and has no interest in what happens on earth. Timeless.
This was the first thing I wrote for RPM12. Really struggled with it.

Liftoff. Nuff said.
My favourite track of RPM12. Played it to the people in the office and they were very kind.

The men on the moon missions were the first and only people to have seen the Earth for what it is, a bubble of air in space. Imagine...
Had a mare with the lyrics on this. It's really hard not to accidentally nick stuff from Bowie.

The approach to the moon.
This one was going to have lyrics around the second melody piece, but nothing fitted and I decided it was more appropriate to just have it as an instrumental.

Entering orbit. No one's ever seen before the backside of the moon. The moment of parting when the lunar crew leave the Command Module pilot and enter the Lunar Module.
A three part song written over the whole of RPM12, the orbit piece at the…

Another one that didn't really have a home. I think it started out as a songfight idea from back in 2008 or so. Not sure I like this recording as much as the old one.

The Command Module pilot was the most isolated person in the history of mankind once his two crew mates had started their descent to the lunar surface.
The spoken words start off as my own and then quote Michael Collins the Command Module pilot…

Each moon landing could only spend a short time on the surface before it was time to leave.
Buzz Aldrin's words on the moon struck me as very descriptive so they became the title. To be fair, I let Neil Armstrong do much of the vocals on this…

The final part of any space flight is re-entry and splashdown (or landing if you're Russian). 4000 degrees of burning heat protected by just a heat shield.
I was aiming for a mixture of fear and euphoria in this one. The final words are from Dave…

You shouldn't try to keep your secrets
And then just run off to confess
I'm sure you've got your own reasons
To fight the movement to suppress
Acting parts in your own theatre
But going blind under the spotlight

Even though it's all…
