Oh we could sit or stand around
Look at the stars or at the clouds
Or better yet kick off our shoes and dance around
The sky was…
pictures in a magazine

pictures from a magazine (floating)
more questions than answers (posing)
a whole lot of nothing (showing)
spaces for rent (free for owning)
brimming with treasure (hidden)
Surprises crucial (owing)
this is just…
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
Taken from the album 'Reverse The Sun', recorded in February 2013 for the RPM Challenge.
Written and performed by Rog Hildreth.
This is an experimental one, I recorded it mostly using Android synth apps.
A 90 second song, written and recorded on the evening of 12th June 2012.
Acoustic guitar, uke, glockenspiel, bass, slide guitar, tambourine, piano, singing, bells, shaker, melodica by Andy.
After a long day at work, I wanted to do something…
Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..

This is just another middle of the road pile of trot, this time about the amazing instant classics I write, but am so protective of that I daren't let any of you hear. No one will ever hear them. Sorry, but I'm afraid this shite will just have…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
I'm really glad you left this on your RPM album. I think it matches more than you were initially suggesting, in fact I love how it very gently nudges the outer border of the album towards something ethereal, while still being of the same voice.
I feel like I've long been repeating myself concerning your songs: blah blah...great recreation...blah blah blah...recording is great...blah blah blah...I want to listen to this all the time...blah blah blah.

Ok, last word from me on this, as I'm sure it's getting old by now: that is one helluva great album.
