I figured I needed a social distance song. I mean is it even quarantine if you don't write a social distance song? This was from my January album in a month fail. At one point I thought that maybe I could write 10 songs with swing grooves…

I started writing this one in January and finished it and recorded it in February. Now in hindsight I'm thinking I should probably have left it in January. I like the chorus. I kinda like the two guitars trading 8's and the guitarmonies. Otherwise…

Pointless backstory that won't be interesting to anyone other than me when I look back at this tune at some point in the distant future: RPM Challenge asks for 10 songs or 35 minutes recorded in February. FAWM asks for 14 songs written during…

This was the third song I started working on this month and it's the 15th song finished. What does that tell you? I liked it a lot when I first came up with the idea. When I put the rhythm guitars down it started to feel like it wasn't meeting…

This was the 12th song started this month and it's the 14th song finished. It's important in that it officially makes me a winner for FAWM this year, but it's unimportant for the RPM Challenge as this puppy goes straight to the dropped song list…

This one seems destined for the dropped list. It's just kinda blah. The verses remind me of a King Crimson Projekct song and I can't remember the title. Something from Scarcity of Miracles (great album, by the way). The choruses remind me…

The seventh song started for this year's RPM Challenge is the 10th song finished. I now officially have both targets complete. 10 songs and 35 minutes. This year is officially successful. Granted, I still have 10 more songs in the pipeline…

Another song, another faux trippy ending. I should change the name of the album to Faux Trippy Endings. What do you think? Lyrically I think this song is just about the last year. When I recorded the rhythm guitars I was pretty stoked…
