Song 2 for the RPM Challenge. Wrote this at the piano and then had fun trying all sorts of spontaneous vocal harmonies. Switching time signatures for the chorus made for some challenging recording!
Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)
Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix.
I never told you
what I wanted
no, it don’t feel right
the things you say

well they hold me hold me

Here is song 7 for the RPM Challenge 2021. This is another experimental song whereby I'm mixing a bit of Dub Step with a bit of Blues. Thanks for listening!
The 4th submission for my RPM Challenge - an experimental electronic song that I put together at the dining room table. Thanks for listening!
must.keep.going.
This is my second instalment for the RPM Challenge 2021. A playful use of synths as a backdrop for some reflective lyrics. I wrote the song today ....out of the blue :). Thanks to anyone who listens (especially if you make it to the end…
Here is the 6th song for my RPM Challenge 2021. This has got to be one of the weirder songs I have written. It is a combination of dark, ironic, and humorous.
Perfect for my EP called "Darker". Enjoy :) Thanks for listening!!

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**
Song number 1
Written Sunday 6th February 2022

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
Wow - glad I found you. I'll chime in with the other comments - that is an amazing demo! The raw guitar and voice gives it an intimate feeling (befitting of the song). Well done! Now I'm listening to the other song that came up....really professional!
Brace yourself! This is my latest Song Challenge entry for Carl Unbehaun’s Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show: Write a song about Groundhog’s Day, a Ground Hog or Woodchuck.

Nothing better…
Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…
song also known as 'an ode to 2020' lol... (unfortunate that my 20's coincides w/ the 20's because... well.. they've not gotten off to a good start now have they lol...)
lyrics:
got this feeling the world's got it in for me
it's just my…
Song I wrote last year about struggling with identity...
lyrics below lol
it's hard for me to be myself when i don't know who i am
feel like i'm just an empty shelf filled with empty photographs
and i might be all alright if i don't think…
Demo #3 for FAWM ’22.
[INTRO]
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Cause I ain’t got time for no slow ass train
My babies moving on,
and I know when she’s gone
My life will only get better…
One Two Three Four!
[CHORUS]
Gimmie a ticket…
It does feel like light! Great guitar riffs there and the effects are cool. Multiple guitars ....really great feel and some unusual changes in the progression. Nice ending.
Clarinet played into an empty tube that formerly held a bottle of Scotch, which may have had some unconscious influence on the rough melodic form. Picked up by two contact mics into a Zoom H4n recorder. Submitted to Sound-In for 26/2-4/3/2021.
I love this. Has a great feel and I love the rawness of it. I love Patty Smith and she would appreciate this song I'm sure!! I would have liked to be her friend :)

Bjorkish!
