you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
when i was 18 i took in a runaway
she crawled into my bed on the 7th day
i played her music and i cooked her food
i did everything i thought i should
i let her sleep late and i paid her way
then her dad showed up one day
well she had grown…

you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…
thanks
yes, this were recorded for the rpm challenge. i only drew on my note books for two songs and just for inspiration. i had already meet the 35 minutes of music requerment for the project but felt the subject of my friends death last february (shadow of the son) needed to be adressed. what a great experience (rpm)

Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker!

It was yesterday

I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
sunshines on waves of grain
purple mountains are turning grey
duck and cover, the theme of the day
as times collide in the USA
spacious skies pourin' rain
Mississippi she's floodin the plains
run for cover, it's comming your way

Inspired by New Orleans
Lyrics
Left from Carolina headed for New Orleans
started west out to Tennessee

I heard the levys broke and let in the sea
Oh Mississippi flow

A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

thanks

An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
great story. i am getting into your understated vocals. this is my favorite so far. reminds me a little of marcy playgrounds best stuff, a little more mellow but the same great sense of melodic timing
nice

Comments made by tim mcfate
quite nice
here is where the new york poem went. i will also repost. thanks for asking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMdcQxFdJW0
i can get you the other versions. for me most of the time it is a matter of whittling the recording down, finding the silence among the sound,
that you bethan,sister,glue,rebecca, it means a lot to know that you are listening.
could mix the percussion a little farther back
bass line is beautiful.
wow great voice. i will listen more.
you are back. i will listen more later. tim
very clever
great opening notes. so clear. direct or mic?
great bass line to build this around. i always find it fun to use audio from the time period
so......................how did you record this?
real nice feel. i read your bio. very much my style of writing as well. i like the harmonica. what are you doing for drums
i alway s like your loose fun style
