another for the RPM......
ALL I NEED
I’m sat up here at the top of the road
I’m sat up here and i’m all alone
I’m sat up here waiting for you to come on home
I’m sat up here at the top of the road
i’m waiting for you
and all i want is…

Another day without the sunshine
Another day without a sunrise

Bittersweet, with sad lyrics sung over beautiful piano. On the one hand I’m thinking, “That poor guy needs some company,” while on the other, selfish hand I’m thinking, “But out of his misery came this gorgeous music we might not otherwise have been blessed to experience.” And on my third, evil hand, I’m thinking, “What kind of awesome tune would he belt out if we increased his misery by roughing him up every now and then?”

An exceptional job -- great lyrics, pleasant music. You done good. The snore at the end -- ha ha! Sure glad you got in on this challenge, and, as Greg said, welcome to the party!

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

with this song-- in audacity --- the seven parts are all layered --- I cut a selection of 8minutes 20secs in and then using the time shift tool I slide the each of the 7 parts of this…
So, what do you think... could it use more wah-wah?
This was written for the 2014 RPM Challenge. The chromatic thing at the beginning had been rattling around in my head for years and years but had never found a home.
The lyrics here…
I’ve seen you crash back down into the ash
Like an inverted Phoenix
So delectable yet totally ineffectual
Those intellectual verbal tricks
I’ve tried to save ya from your bad behaviour
And keep you safe within the mix
I’ve been here to…
The acoustic sounds stunning ..excellent lyrics ..you managed to get the word astronomical in a song you set the bench high....poor Lydia... a beautiful song well performed ...piepod bound
The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…
This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…
So, this is completely different!! In a homage to my favourite place to watch live music in the land...Ronnie Scotts....I have put together a groovin' jazz instrumental piece with a 'live' feel....!! Not really fusion as such, but added to the…
A silly, sort of dreamlike / lullaby-ish tune, about weird travels on a bubble-gum balloon.
Lyrics:
See one time I was chewing bubble gum and it was mighty fine
I blew a bubble so big it took me up into the sky
So this is the story of where…
Some blues/boogie fun.
Ain’t no fun
It's a well known fact
When you’re with the wrong woman
And caught in the act
Sworn to secrecy
We even made a pact
But didn’t matter
We were caught in the act
Been watched and followed
Traced…
Caught this one this morning got the blood pumping loving that harp well in fact loving the whole thing the interplay between piano guitar and that wonderful harp
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
I feel I should donate something as I've recently downloaded all of your alone-tone catalogue and must say I've been O-D ing on you most of the afternoon and I haven't come across a bad track yet (there's got be one surely where you suck and its badly recorded.... go on put one up for us mere mortals where we can say " Well he's not perfect is he?") love your work Bravo and Thank you
EVER ONE I NEED TO TALK TO
Everyone I need to talk to tonight is gone
Some have gone to heaven. Some have gone to hell
Ever one I want to talk to tonight is gone
Superskirmish L - one hour write (except I went over by 15 minutes) - prompt: "The Road Ahead"
A1:
I Can't See the Road Ahead
We're in the kind of storm I dread
Driving slower so I might find
A speed where I won't feel so blind
This feeling…
Creating conscience collectives
Subjugate yourself for delivery
The undisputed tolerant dictator following
Underground slave to the state
Righteous device of the chosen few
Discovery of the demon, but you don't know what to do
Believing…

We like this one!
Great job on the challenge - excellent!

Pretty
Very early-Rolling Stones-ish. I can see Mic Jagger strutting about the stage in my mind as I listen to this. Dig!
Lots of fun . . . Welcome to the party!
evening friend, i have not been around to listen for a while,, like this.. nicely done mixing,, best of luck with rpm
aaaawwww, a lovely song, really nice acoustics, love your voice :-)
This is purely awesome !!!! I simply love it ! Really great guitarwork accompanied by brilliant vocals ! A+
lovely
I shall now go back to my broom cupboard... slightly chastened with thoughts of what can be achieved with spontaneity!
When I read "ad libber" I wasn't expecting, well, this... I'm stunned, quality. Both me and Mrs R love it.
Jammin'
I love this tune Regs. Spontaneously raw.
God almighty, I love that track.
i certainly do ...i was always amazed how you took the voice off the track...... a much better version than mine Thank you
I love the vocal effects man! The world would be a better place if everyone talked to each other in auto tune, all the time!

Sublime ...wish I was at Ronnies that night
that whispered vocal feels very personal nice rhythm on the guitar mesmerizing track
It’s a foot tapping morning already and I’ve only been awake 10mins ... ooh yeah!!
