Song 2 for RPM 2025 (I actually wrote this one first). Dusted off my electric guitar for this one (yeah, maybe I should practice more).
My heart is falling for you
Your heart, is longing to be free
And my days are very numbered
And you…
First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Woah! Very dark. I was wondering whether you'd be doing RPM. I talked myself into doing FAWM again this and I'm now thinking "why did I do it?!?!?!" ... determined to finish but struggling at the moment! GOOD LUCK - there's at least one person waiting for the next one from you :)
Phew! Song 10 of my RPM 2024 done. Well, this is more of an experimental piece...I threw a bit of everything in...prophet synth, electric guitar, and even some crowd noise (I loved it when Bjork did that so...). The power cutout just as I was…
Song #4 for my RPM - Getting some good use of my old Prophet analogue synth (great if you enjoy physics). Bit of a gloomy song based on someone I once knew.
Thanks kindly for your listens! I want to get my RPM done so that I can hear what everyone…
It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be!
In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…
First Day of the 2024 RPM challenge .... so here is Song 1
I'm experimenting with my old analogue synth (Prophet 6) this year
Thanks to anyone who listens! A gloomy song for gloomy times. Onward!
One day

Song 5 for RPM 2024. Sat at our piano for this one and got a bit carried away!
More of an atmospheric piece and the title track of my RPM "album". I love doing vocal harmonies (I grew up on CSNY). Thanks to anyone who listens :)
Oh…
Song 7 for RPM 2024. I've always wanted to do a song with a one note melody line...here it is! I had my awesome husband join me for some lead guitar parts (which made it that much more fun). Thanks for listening!
It’s not like you

Great harmony with a dissonant sound. I like all of it. Cool effect on the nice guitar accents. The bass drives it, which is a good thing cause - you don’t know where you wanna be.

Song 9 of RPM 2024. Decided to focus on using my electric guitar and bass for this one. Had no idea where it would go...but it was certainly fun playing!
Came up with the lyrics on the fly :) Thanks to anyone who is out there listening. My…
Song 6 for my 2024 RPM challenge. Got the guitar and bass out for this one. It's a song with a lot of dissonance and so is kind of weird. But here it is anyways. Definitely not for everyone's ears.
Anything, anything you say…

3rd Song for RPM. Getting this done was filled with late night torture.
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
But you’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You made your way
Oh you made your way
But…

Let me tell you a story about the time that Dave fell asleep on the conveyor belt again.

It's probably not a huge surprise that someone who chose a moniker evoking a hyperactive bigfoot would be a fan of b-movies, this is my punk rock love letter to them.
VERSE
I ought to go to bed Instead I’m watching z-grade creatures
Menacing…
I keep searching for a sign
From the other side
To keep my hope alive
Trying to walk the line
God knows how hard I've tried
Don't know if I'll survive
Gotta let it slide
Man, these are trying times
If you attempt to fly
You wind up…
That guitar opening caught my attention right away. I love the harmonies too...beautiful. Well done Dweeb. btw...I'm so impressed with your longstanding RPM participation (very inspiring...thank you). Of course, I would always like to hear more (but you have already given so much). Enjoy a good rest (creative work can take it out of us). Ohh....nice ending on this song too......!!!
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
oh yes! This is awesome and professional. Wow. Vocals great & catchy electric guitar riffs...it's got all the goods. Your collaboration is producing some great music! Looking forward to hearing the whole album when it's done. (ps. thanks for the listens and the fun feedback)

Excellent RPM, really interesting songs, well done ...
A touch of Kate Bush ?
Love it ...
That was a great journey. Thanks. And congrats on completing a strong full RPM album!
Your music is sooooo coool! Love it.
Great harmony with a dissonant sound. I like all of it. Cool effect on the nice guitar accents. The bass drives it, which is a good thing cause - you don’t know where you wanna be.
Congratulations … another RPM success! Your music has a very unique quality to it. Very refreshing.
great track!
Wow, you really got the dissonance working to your advantage. Good job. Some push and pull as well. Weird yup, but my ears like it.
Yeah, I hear the CSNY in this. Also a nice harmony that sounds familiar that I can't quite place... you got me thinking:-}
Oh I love the momentum in the lyric. Wonderful.
Gorgeous harmonies. There's a great build to this one.
Love the harmonies on this! Another beauty.
I love the layering! Makes me want to dance in a crazy circle!
Your gorgeous voice is the perfect match for these eerie and melancholy lyrics. Love it. The dance beat adds another level of mystery.

Very cool! What a feeling you create (and I love the premiss!)
oooohhh...I like! Congrats on your RPM :). Is that a bass in the background? very cool
I find this mesmerizing and I love it. this is the kind of electronic music I adore. ps. thanks for listening to some of my stuff.
oh this one might be my favourite. Love that intro line and all the piano!
ha ha...that is well titled "scratching at my arm". Nice!
Loving your album. Would love to learn more about what you're using.
oh yes!!! That title and this song. I really love this and that is one of my favourite scales. Well done!!!
this is awesome too!
ooohhh...I love those lyrics (a true sailor's song...and the metaphor too of course!).
Congrats on your RPM. These are great!
I love this! My pets are my best audience :) Nice guitar work too.
oh yeah.....I'm a punk fan so this hits the mark! Great energy ....love that bridge....hilarious!!! Well done (definitely fits your band name too).

those lyrics! Great melody (and the title really captured my attention). Lovely guitar progression. I get a Neil Young vibe here (in the best way).
very cool song. Love those lyrics and a great groove. I also like the way it ends. Great to hear you again!
