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…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

Yay, the Lennon filter!! :)
Interesting how a song evolves from
one idea into another by some drastic
yet simple change like attenuating
the tempo.
Enjoying your mandolin playing!
I have a 100yr old heirloom here
but it needs some new tuning heads
and strings. I haven't used it in
a couple of years and I'm dying to
get it going again.
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.

Gumbo, you are right...those are the correct song titles. I am a huge fan of Martin Hayes..and Dennis Cahill. What a combo...love the dynamics between the two. I encourage everybody to check them out.

I believe the tunes are
Paul Ha'penny / The Garden of Butterflies / The Broken Pledge / The Mother and Child Reel / Toss the Feathers
I turned it on and now I have to listen to the end again!

great stuff here! nice overall sound on this album. this song reminds me of ...odd to say, but music played during old school hockey games...angry men indeed!
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

Lyrics:
I’m just about as lucky as a man can be
I got the voice of an angel that’s guiding me
Once in a while I don’t hear a sound
That’s when I know I’m going all the way down
I remember those times I lost my…
All first take improvisations. 8 tracks of madness for your enjoyment. Ear goggles will put you inside this piece. Not recommended for the faint of heart!
Recorded between 9AM - 7PM on the 26th of February.

Black Widow don’t hesitate
Lock the door, draw the shades
In your web I have been caught
Not enough to fill you up
Leave me a skin
A shell of the man that I was…
Another experiment...

2/25/12: Somehow the original file got broken, so I had to re-upload this... nothing new here, except I lost all my nice comments :(
In the year 2000 I had my little girl visit me every other weekend. This song was written then and is sung from a child's needs perspective, keeping the bonds of love between daughter and father alive. It is sad, and hopeful, and explores the…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.

Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
Comments on Vegetable Man's stuff
Beautifully dreamy.
You have a way of convincing me you are sat beside a river in the rockies, just singing and playing to yourself.
I really enjoyed that, vocal, melody, tempo. Perfect.
Nice and mellow. Reminds me a bit of Nick Drake. Great song.
trippy and a little far out...just what I would expect music on mars to sound like. I enjoyed listening.
hahah internetz! I think you might enjoy this playlist: http://alonetone.com/glu/playlists/gl-vs-pres-bush

This is a great collection of songs. I love the close-up, warm sound of everything.
I always love songs about the interwebs.
Great feel on this one. It's raining here in NH, this piece makes it feel more like Dún Aonghasa.
