Another simple arrangement that uses dynamics to differentiate between verse/chorus/ect. I really like that gimmick, but I have to force myself not to do it, or I'd do it 100% of the time. The lyrics are about depression and were written the…

This one came together really fast. I had spent most of my Sunday forcing two other songs out of my head and I was tired and not feeling all that pleased with the day's work. I figured I'd give it one more shot and went to my binkie. My security…

FAWM's 50/90 starts on July 4th, Independence Day in the USA, and wouldn't you know it New England got hit by the remnants of a hurricane that night. Hurricane Arthur was pretty much just a rain storm by the time it hit us, but it was still song…

I had a neat idea for a riff but I was busy doing other things and couldn't record it for future reference. When I did get a chance to sit down with a guitar later that night I couldn't quite remember it. I came up with something that was in…

March 1, 2012. RPM is over... Now what? How about we go back in time and dig up all of the songs that have been laying around unfinished, unrecorded, or poorly recorded and finish them off? Sounds good to me. There is another version of this…
