Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…

Nice one. Yeah, I've been thinking (listening to stuff elsewhere) about writing to basslines. Most of the time I write with an acoustic guitar, singing it as I play it - no recording equipment is used/harmed. But something else happens if the bass is laid down first. And, as a writer, I also find it strangely appealing. Cool track... I'm ready for the next one!
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

no, it don’t feel right

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!

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 :)
Comments on Ricia Rae's stuff
Oh yeah!! Love this one. Wasn't sure at first, but when the vocal started I was pulled straight in. LOVE the chorus.
Love the Beatles references! You go girl!!
Some space, some funk, exactly right.
Great track ...
Love your voice some very tasty guitar in this, the bass line fools you but solid through and through
Your entire album is fantastic. I love the overall vibe of the songs, and your vocals are great!

I’d be dancing to this indeed!
You have a great voice! Excellent song. Very catchy indeed. Good luck on your RPM!
Very good ....
I'm sure I'll be back for more ....
Oh yeah ...
Song 4 on day 6 of the RPM Challenge! That’s impressive. 4 excellent songs so far.
Oh crumbs... loving your stuff. Faved and followed... I'll be back to listen to more.
And this... wow. Loving your vocal delivery. Very cool song too.
I saw your name going by and thought "I've not heard them, are have I?". Woo... like this.
Well done! I enjoyed this
Came across this in the "latest" playlist and it demanded I stop and listen. Great track.
You definitely know what you're doing. There's an effortlessness to this that's really hypnotic.
Catchy chorus! Nice!
