No one knows who set the tommahawks free
Man says attack the devil don’t ask why
Just sends his angels falling from the sky
Scorching the earth burning…

Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
This one is gripping. The echo tail sounds amazing on your vocal as well. And I'm not sure you left the few seconds of silence at the end on purpose, but it fits.

Another for the RPM Reg got to thinking again ......
Shes a shaker
She’s a movie star
Blue eyes black skin like coal tar
Shes a vision on the big screen
She is everybodys movie queen
Made up on a keyboard
Chalked out on a blackboard…

What does it all mean
The preacher spent his life building churches out of stone

Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.

Reg has lost Rita and its threw him so hard he fell of the wagon ....
Rita
I’m feel completly unknown
I don’t know myself no more
The vision of myself is confusing
I don’t know who I am any more
I’ve been shook…
Has Reg found the one ?...
Something special
You got that something
Your eyes, they say it all
I can see theres something special about you
I know its true

This was one of several songs I recorded in a session on the night of my 29th birthday. I had decided to just start playing and see how many tunes I could write straight through without stopping. My only rule was that these tunes had to be totally…
Excellent playing Dave it must be a bluesy Sunday all over the world wow!!! Just banged into the solo.. Now that's how to play a guitar .......excellent and still 2mins left......now it's weeping have youu tiger in the amp...if it sounds like That keep it in there, keep it in there.......I'm gonna have to hear this again.
Final version
I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…
A track from my RPM 2011 album 'Glass Wall'.
I just whipped this up in Garage Band using a loop called 'Exotic Sarod' for the main melodic theme (hence the title). The Sarod is an Indian stringed instrument. 'Sarod' means 'beautiful sound' in…
I created "This is life" in a bad mood. I just picked a nice drumloop and started to improvise on my keyboard and I'm very happy with the harmonies arised from my mind or hands :)
This song was inspired by a melody my then 2 year old daughter was playing on the harmonica one day back in 2004. I picked up my guitar and strummed along....I kept playing around with it and "Caught in the Rain" was born.
I wrote this song as one in a series of potential songs to be performed at a friends wedding. I liked this one so much that I modified the lyrics and recorded this version as part of my "Transition" album.
Our big epic number. surely a closer. tried to write words but the organic way the song came about kept me from violating such a sacred thing with something less than stellar. or as organic anyway. every other attempt left me feeling...
fake…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

Woo....amazing tune. Sounds like the Who. Funny, I've been playing with the capo on the 2nd fret lately.
you know I love this one Reg!
Woah! Wasn't sure I had clicked on the right song until the vocal ripped in. Would much rather listen to this than watch the news. Good one.

Great movie, great song.
Kicking it love to see it - wrinkled shit
Oh-oh, his poor wife..... :-] He does a nice job on this. Gonna be tough telling him he's not his alter ego :-
Cool tune and yes, the punk feel to this is great. Lyrics - spot on!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Another fine RPM! Mighty fine. Well done :)
Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.
Yep !👍
Loving the punk vibe
So sorry for your loss!!! The lyrics of this song are so very sad

Very intimate. Love your subtle effect on your vocals. Nice cover artwork too.
