Lyrics:
I was walking through the square when I heard the towers fell
from a stranger passing by
and they caught it live
couldn't believe my eyes
And we talked a lot about what it meant to be
a free society
and our resiliency
but we…

Lyrics:
No one told me to watch my back

It wasn't that hard to do
It caught me by…

Lyrics:
I'm not sleeping
I'm staring at the ceiling
My mind's a thousand miles away
I'm finding faces in the shapes

Killing time is not so bad

"Choices" by Nikki Giovanni
If I can't do
what I want to do
then my job is to not
do what I don't want
to do
It's not the same thing
but it's the best I can
do
If I can't have
what I want... then
my job is to want
what I've got…

Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee

Lyrics:
I don't know what you want
when you treat me that way
I can't help being turned on
Is that what you want

To see if I'm in love with you
I'm trying so hard

The first casualty of my severe lyric-crisis this year. Could have been a good song. Is an OK-ish instrumental now.

The most ambitious tune; about a singer that starts out in the late sixties and ends up in the oldies-circuit doing his last big hit from 1982 three times a night.The vocal is a bit low in the mix. I might upload a special mp3-mix for Alonetone…

Another one without lyrics. The title was my workingtitle. And I just thought it was a funny title (I think Rage Against the Machine is kind of silly) I quite like some of the sounds on this one (it's a Poly 800 through an Electro Harmonix Big…

i am thinking about words tonight

you are falling in love…

A fantastical farcical Irish story-song. Broadway Irish.

This was an experiment to write a song using one sentence. I ended up with 3 small ones.

This fulfills a stupid promise I made years ago to write a song that was part Dave Frishberg, part Richard Thompson.

You really want to get there, but you just can't find it, but the ride is entertaining.
I'm rewriting the lyrics. It's not quite oblique enough, or so I'm told.

Derivative folky song (don't tell Paul I said that). He writes a lot about the inadequacy of words. But, if he thinks words are so damned inadequate, why does he keep writing them?

A song I wrote and recorded in one day (the day before the RPM Challenge ended, actually). I really stretched my abilities as a picker here (duff notes and all), but I shamefully admit I really like this song. A reminder to me of the strength…

Another song held over from my band days. Again, an attempted homage to the Velvets, but perhaps a little too shiny. I still plan to replace the cheesy 'solo' synth with glockenspiel somewhere down the line.

An attempt to evoke images that weren't in the first-person. I tend to write in abstract fragments and this piece is no exception.

An exercise in configuring sonic spaces - it was only later that I realized the scathing lyrics were self-directed.

An older song from a previous band that was never quite captured to my satisfaction. I was going for very laid-back "Pale Blue Eyes" vibe.
