Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M. Dream of a life that’s never been seen A world of possibilities, a place in between A place of shadows, a place of light A place of secrets, hiding in the night Oblique, oblique…

Sometimes you listen to a Peter Murphy song and then ask ChatGPT to help you write a song. Sometimes you end up with this. You wouldn't believe the lyrics I left out. Goths on the beach, all dressed in black, Heading for the waves, and…

I don't even know you anymore. You open your mouth, the words slip out I’m shocked by what I hear The differences couldn’t be more clear Same scene, different views With our eyes and on the news And I’m not sure what to do I don’t…

Yacht rock. Every time I see your smile I feel like I’ve come home And every time you stay a while Is the best day that I’ve known You’re the one that lights my way Brings brightness to my day And I just have to say Don’t want it…

Hey y’all let’s go tanning, under the new fake sun Let’s spin the brand new single, if you can’t hide we run From the safety of knowing Look outside it is snowing Who knew it got so cold, who knew it got so cold, And now I caught the…

Six songs down for the 2023 RPM Challenge. Jeff Beck died and I was gutted. It's hard to lose your heroes, but it's also odd to feel so emotional about the loss of someone you've never met. Life is weird, right? I did not want to write…

Five songs down. Somewhere between five and nine to go. This one was fun to play. Both the rhythm guitar parts and the solos were just fun. I don't think anything is particularly good, I just enjoyed myself. That was a nice feeling. The…

I like this one. I don't like much from this year's project, but this one works for me. I don't know if it's got "track 1" vibes or not. It's too slow and somber (I think I found my album title). Hopefully something with a little more pep…

See Where it Lands is intended to be a bit of a rocking tune, this is close to a final mix, but I'll probably let it marinate for a few days to see if there are any other changes needed.

If you don't love Vanadinite as much as I do, something is wrong with you.

Prompt to chatGPT: write a chord progression containing 24 or more sequential chords in the style of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky chatGPT said: The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky is a complex and intricate piece of music…

Draft recording, plan to add an acoustic at the beginning and possibly a melodica. The vocals will be re-recorded when I'm not sick. These were always intended to be a placeholder track.

Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

Was listening while making dinner to David Beardsley's 'The Forty Six Steps' which is in Just Intonation. I'm continually fascinated by this alternative approach of creative composition and have been trying to understand off/on for years. To…

If this wasn't such a hot mess I'd be more ashamed of myself than I already am. Use me up before I expire Just read the label, the warning is dire I'm Long past my best-by timer Got a little bit of a rotten slimer USE ME UP Use…
