Robert James's listening history

On the scale from crap to hit single, this one probably lands somewhere around B-side. I like the chorus, I like the bridge, I don't like the verse which sucks since I used it three times. Oh well. From a production inside-baseball standpoint…

Songs with long, drawn out endings that don't quite relate to the rest of the song is kinda of a theme this month. This one fits that bill. It's nothing special. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's going on the NaSoAlMo album, but if I…

A song called losers lose, written in November 2020. Will history know what I was talking about? Probably. Hopefully. Sloppy, weak, plodding. I kinda like the chorus. I kinda like the break in the middle. I definitely like the harmonies…

National Solo Album Month continues with another ho-hum rock song with an overly drawn out ending. I almost like the chorus. Actually, I almost like the whole song. It's just kinda... there. The ending was supposed to be a one bar phrase repeated…

This was meant to be a sort of throw away thing to stick at the end of the album, but now that it's done I kinda dig it. I set up a drum loop and set up my delay pedal (a Wampler Faux Tape Echo 2.0) with a crap load of repeats and just started…

This was the last song I came up with for this year's National Solo Album Month and I think I'm going out on a good note. Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works…

Normally playing in 7/8 time comes naturally to me. I think I might have been born missing an eighth note (get it? Hardy har har). On this one though, I wrote the bass part first and the chorus seemed simple enough. Playing the rhythm guitars…

Not bad. Not great. Nothing special, but kinda fun. Super simple. The verse and the chorus are the same riff in different keys. I'm surprised how badly the vocal lags. It's so far behind the beat you could fly a plane through the gap. I…

Welcome to the 2020 National Solo Album Month. Yet another album in a month project for ol' Robbie. Nothing particularly noteworthy about this one. I like it. I like the three part harmonies on the last chorus. The riff is okay, the stop…

I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three. I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…
