Another simple little one. I tried on a few occasions to just roll tape while sitting in front of a mic with an acoustic and see what happens. Short snippets of lyrics would come out while I was playing the first thing to pop into my head, and…

Big Dumb Rocker Alert. Also, lyrics inspired by a post on the Florida Man twitter account (link below). Everything I was doing was slow and kinda quiet. So I wrote something fast and noisy and gave it lyrics about a guy who tries to pay…

Our dreams can be very vivid and realistic - there are days I think all of reality is simply somebody thinking about (or remembering?) us. Lyrics I'm not the god of thee you're just my memories as I remember them [see the scenery…

One can hear a lot of interesting things in the silence of the night (particularly when their plumbing freezes).

There is a challenge on the FAWM Forum to write a song using the Ice Cream Chords. I–vi–IV–V. I took that challenge twice this year. This was the first try, and by far the better of the two (although that isn't saying much). On this song I…

Eh. I thought it would be cool to write something in drop D and then play it on a 12 string. Then I could drop two D's! HarHarHar. The lyrics are about how scary some of Donald Trumps followers are. If he wins in November I'm moving to…

This one had throw away written all over it from the first moment I thought of it. It's my second entry in the Ice Cream Chords challenge over at FAWM.org. I kept this one in Major and it's just as fruity as one would expect. The lyrics are…

It's an emergency It's time to follow through This fateful spell This hateful shell This view If only you'd permit yourself To see the vision before your eyes The intervening years The fading cheers The garden full of wine (Chorus…

Scarf tied to hide the face Lurking in the shadows Entertained by every chase Covertly underexposed Tag it And admire it Then on to the next wall Fluorescent basement sign Hiding in the rat run Phosphorescent alibi Stylistic but overdone…

Drowning in a sea of pills Testing their performance Keep from slipping off downhill Accept this circumstance Jump right back in to the fray Expect reaction no delay (Chorus) Balance, it’s the new mantra Balance, the new prayer Balance…

This city is dangerous It cuts like a knife Traffic flowing down a one way street No time to fight Overtime not injury time Shots ring out on Kings Road Double blasts of shotgun Pay back what’s been owed (Chorus) The city's pulling…

Twisting and flapping Never making sense At the end of the argument Offered no defence Stacking the odds Before the debts accrue A sign of the times A case of déjà vu (Chorus) Tongue, bite your tongue Tongue Declaring the winner…

If you get rid of me The tower will fall down Can’t wait to see the back of me Not hard to push around That's what you wanted all along But your prediction’s very wrong (Chorus) Taking flight the raven turns and then escapes Wraps its…

Bits and Pieces

Executed entirely upon the Roland JX-3P if I recall correctly. The title refers to the three interwoven harmonic lines.

Hey, kid. Find my Facebook page and click "Like," will ya? Actually, I don't have a Facebook page.

Everyone is so full of it these days. Know what I mean?

I had something to say about this track, but I can't remember what it was. Never mind. ;) Mostly executed upon the Roland JX-3P, if I recall rightly. Drums, choir pad, and piano courtesy of the Yamaha CS1x.

Madame Fortune seems to enjoy spinning that wheel of hers. It's tough to keep up sometimes. As Gilda always used to say, "it's always something." Executed entirely upon the Korg DW-6000 and Yamaha CS1x.
