two quotes off some TCM-movie and an edited Lady Gaga interview pretty much make up the vocal portion of the track. the rest was born from the fat beats i started out with.

I wrote this song after living in Milwaukee for awhile. The ghetto is a hard place to grow up and live. Things become normal there that shouldn't be normal. It's quite sad.

I wrote this song for a singer that used to be with the band. After you listen to it, you'll get a good feel for her. This is a Delta Blues feel.

I had a falling out with a long time friend when I wrote this song. It has a Ray Charles/Aretha Franklin gospel/blues feel.

After hearing people day in and day out wish for the weekend, I felt the need to write a song to remind them that they were essentially wishing their life away. This music is funk/blues with a Meters feel.

And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…

Lyrics:
Well there ain't nothing, nothing you could ever do to break my heart again...
You lied and oh you cheated.
You hung me out to dry.
Left me standing in the cold
beneath the pale gray sky.
There ain't nothing, nothing you could…

Lyrics:
Babe, if I may be so bold
I swear that you don’t look that old
In fact I’d say you look alright.
So if you want to write my number down
I could show you all around this town
And show you what we do at night.
Well you look like…

The execution is not perfect, but the concept works.

The lyrics continue the theme of the previous track, if you care about that sort of thing.

I guess this would be the "centerpiece" of the album. Like the rest of the album it really stumbles along the line between droney and simply repetitive, and it needs a bit of a reworking to reach its potential.

Short(?) intro to the album; counterpoint to the extended outro "Mantra 2"

Post RPM Challenge song about one of my favorite drinks to whatever lyrics I wrote that was written after rpm 2009 but never recorded. Recorded guitars one day and added vocals the next. Cool tuning of B-A-D-G-B-D.

2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics are below:
No one explains it to you
When you offer to take the blame
When no one rails against you
All their comforting words are the same
Does it upset you Enough to awake you
Or will you repeat so…

Last song of RPM album. I'm particularly fond of the last ten seconds. :D

Soothing and sad, a synthesized tune for the lovelorn and loveless. And just those with a perennial tear in their eyes.

Another downer, what can I say? Oddly enough though, it makes me smile.

Probably the single saddest song I ever wrote. This album is kind of a combination of hope and longing and loss. This one is definitely about loss.

This song is musically and thematically related to an earlier tune from an older album called "house of strangers." That song was a plea from one partner to another about a marriage that was failing. This song comes when it becomes obvious that…

i just want to push through

and when i said i would love you forever i meant it
but now i also love someone else
and i need to stop living…

life is always better with a little bit of tension.

I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

i'm not afraid of being alone

I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say

my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…

Another track from 2010 RPM Album. This is the first track in the Fear Trilogy. I wish I had the time to edit it down a bit more but I still think it would make great background music for a haunted house display or Halloween party...
