the clock on the wall is watching the window
the shades are at half mast for what i do
there are regrets just over that horizon
but i know i know i can count on you
i think of a time when i was unwilling
the dark days i counted with a mark on…
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…

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…

A love song....about this world of wonder that i am so fortunate to have found, or it found me.
yea we climb from the rubble
of confusion and some pain
we are the wonder of the world
and many streets we walked of bitter pills and rain
and we…

just a sliver of a moon
as i walk thru this town
yea it is trash night
and i am sacred bound
i am counting my steps
and i am looking at my hands
i am feeling your skin
some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to…

i had ice coffee in the morning
moved my finger along a map
felt the future rising through me
i held the world in my lap
i though tabout texas this morning
kanas is now on my mind
followed you through the flood plains
the swelling rivers a…

and i am looking at my hands
i am feeling your skin
some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to…
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…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey

i lay my head down on my pillow
outside i can see the evening sky
you are just over that Western horizon
and i dream that i can fly
the earth shakes '
my water breaks
we have given birth to something new
i see you standing hear before me
we…

well i have a special spot in my heart for arizona. i also have headphones that fade in and out at times so your mix is messing with my head. i realize it is you and not me. i see the heat has effected you as well. the horns work well. the choral thing at the end is sweet
thanks

Album: How the Aviator Sees the Rainbow
Year: RPM Challenge 2008
Pour vous Tess.
Is there a ghost in these hills?
Something to run from
I've given way to cheap thrills
Problems have just begun
I walk alone, sink like a stone in…
gypsies in the night around a fire. you show upload your words and put them under the "about" tab. i am not always sure what you are saying. i like to know what people are saying. call me paranoid!!!! funny little organ in the background
wonderful job
tim
this is my first year in the rpm challenge as well. you are right it was a lot of fun. i miss it. February went by so fast.
this one is pretty dynamic. great bass sound. i find the scream sounds during the rappy chorus pretty interesting. cool guitar at the end
tim
Using the fox trot beat from the 1958 record album "Rhythm Accompaniment", with the composer on all other instruments. Written and recorded in February 2009 for the RPM Challenge.
this works really well. i can easily see myself ......walking! birds on that wire. i like the way you have chosen to arrange it with the subtle builds

I'm working on a March RPM... it is "record per month" after all, is it not? So, this month I plan to expand on some ideas with glubotic... I hope to make the album a full hour.
this song was inspired from an ee cummings poem. it was composed for rpm 2009.
lyrics:
i'll tell you a dream i had once
up in the sky blue everything
flying away a kite on a string
i didn't have anything
i was cool you were warm…
great mix . you should publish your words under the "about" tab. it would be so good to read along. it really is important and you will get more folks to liaten.....really
this is a really good song i am digging your metafore
tim
My song about the hazards of the Missouri River.
A snag is an above water branch and a sawyer is a below water log or branch. Hence, "Tom Sawyer," from Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).
