Oh here it is, Vanished and reappeared
I tried love to listen, Now I have heard
the wondrous music wrought by the tumbled shirt
The wistful Voice of Tess so hurt.
Now my heart is full.

With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
Terrible recording due to my old studio set up dying, but a nice keepsake of just how bad things became before the rebuild.
Lyrics by Brent Kinder.
With piano by Igor Alexeev.
your vocal melody, and the way you sing it, reminds me of a Portuguese band from the 90's that I really liked when I was a kid:D 20 years later I'm digging this:D
With Big Time Operator, who originally uploaded his awesome music with the offer that anyone can add vocals...too good to miss! Love this music, and had loads of fun wailing. Thanks Chris!
Played on BBC Radio Introducing. :)

It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
Dragged Jazzo away from her celebration cake to record this version of Bossa Nova Breeze by Gerald Schwertberger from her recent Trinity Grade 4 exam (which she aced).
Keyboards: Doug Sparling
Composer: Doug Sparling
Written/Recorded: 2006
Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…
After creating an album every February since 2008 for the RPM Challenge, this year I decided to concentrate on just a song because well, stuff.
So this, an upbeat, optimistic love song. Bandcamp link and video soon to come.
“The expression…
RPM 2k22
it's all you know
so why don't you show me
just how it's done
i'm mesmerized
the way that you lie
mostly to yourself
as if you're someone else
it's killing you
these things that you do to
simply remain
not breaking ground…
RPM 2k22
kiss me softly in the evening light
and like the breeze, i'll be blown away
linger longer if you have the time
and whisper truly that you want to stay
how long, oh eternity
doesn't seem to ever last
forever's just a word it…
RPM 2k22
farewell my concubine
there's no need to get the door
but i'm bored
waiting for your big surprise
I can't wait for tomorrow
for a heart to appear
my dear
and by then you know i'll be gone
there are no words left
no convincing…
RPM 2k22
sigh
waiting through the night
but you're not coming over
thought you were my lover
same
every night and day
every single moment
now you have to own it
sighing, the emptiness
the last caress, fading away
crying, the tears…
RPM 2k22
this night if we are sober
we'll deny that this over
and before we slip away
to sleep and dream of better days
this night if we are sober
we'll decide if this is over
and slip away into a dream
that will tell us, which direction…
RPM 2k22
you can't remember anything tonight
cause you lost the feeling, lost the feeling
the tide is turning, the shoreline is in sight
but you've lost the feeling, lost the feeling
whenever all seems hopeless try
to remember all…
RPM 2k22
been so long, without your touch
been so long, I want so much
to finally feel anything at all
to finally feel anything at all
as I brush against you walking down the hall
soon all my waiting will be over
patiently await the…
RPM 2k22
never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…
A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.
I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…
For the first time in 13 years Grant sent me some lyrics. I added a verse and then spent the month of February waiting for the song to give me a direction. It did on about the 24th. Originally this was sunny and upbeat.
Keep it quiet kids…
This started out as a joke from a meme and then, well.....
Wilsun did his best imitation of Bruce Dickenson in the bridge
Dan Upton played the heavy guitars in the bridge and the solo you like
Time to self-assess
You still want to be so…
RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…

This is it ... FAWM's all finished for me... time for a lie down now.
There's still nearly a week to go, but I'm done, 14 songs written in 16…
Well sir, you smashed this challenge - and ended up with a stunning unplugged album. It's made me want to hear some of your established tracks with similar stripped-down arrangements, leading the listener to concentrate on the sheer artistry of your words and astonishingly soulful vocal. Next challenge for you is the 24 hours album. 24 minutes of original music in 24 hours. I believe it originated on alonetone. Off you go.

Comments on Sister Savage's stuff
the ending is so stark and lonely.
such a lovely tension - agony and beauty - nice guitar? solo ending
Well that's kinda scrummy... Couldn't possibly favourite it, though... Oh, go then :-)
very pretty
This is so pretty... I love the lyrics and your vocals - so ethereal...
Lovely Track

Well, this is a nice slice of luscious for us! Beautifully done!
Yeah, this one turned out pretty amazing.
Your voice is beautiful. The music is perfect. Excellent.
Lovely, Tremendous Mix, its all swirly. The harmonies are all goose bumpy
I love the bass on this track.
Thanks for your comment, Pepper! I always love coming by and checking what you've been up to ever since I heard Untied :)
beautiful song!
Great song! Your voice and the bass are really amazing!I'm glad I found this!
your vocal melody, and the way you sing it, reminds me of a Portuguese band from the 90's that I really liked when I was a kid:D 20 years later I'm digging this:D
really nice melody, and that percussion... really combines well with your voice!
don't know why, this kind of reminded me of Guano Apes... only better! keep going!
it's kind of addicting listening to this! Love your voice!
ohhh, this is great! like walking on clouds!
Comments made by Sister Savage
So proud I can't even.
Rest in peace, you beautiful soul. X
If you wanna go for the single option, this is how you do it - inventive, cool, fun, totally original. I feel stoned. Thanks.
Agree with Will and Andy - a fabulous, eclectic, moody page turner of an album. One to return to again and again.
Anthem!
Awesome - absolutely love the arrangement and vocal layers in the chorus lift it to a new level.
Bitter sweet overload, my bitter sweet overlord.
Hot fave so far - haunting and brilliant!
Cool retro feel to the song-writing. Late night radio.
Angie Fights The Horrible Few Weeks I Was Having And Makes Everything Lovely.
Breezy opener - lovely to hear some fresh Angie!
Super classy.
Oh this is wonderful! Just a flipping great song!
More wonderfulness from Megan - much sweetness to love here.
Lovely keys - and yes Megan is fantastic!
Ooh! I'm loving that vocal breakdown towards the end - absolutely awesome!
Punk bird rock!
Haha! That's hilarious. I'm getting a Wings vibe, and I'm not just in that for the pun.

Glad you didn't bin it! Liking the driving feel - immediately hooky also.
