Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late
Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you
Some like to rock, some…

The Man
There he stands, shaking hands
smiling wide with his joker smile
promises spew out of his mouth
do you believe
all he wants to do is steal the breath that feeds your child
he don’t care
he don’t give a dam
he’s…

Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…

Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-)
Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.

I wrote these words for a different WildGeas track some time ago -- probably at least a couple years ago by now. As is so often the case, I was too slow in producing and someone else had already taken the track and run with it. Well, these lyrics were just sitting unused in a pile of other less finished scraps that I happened to be digging through recently when I remembered Paul's request for lyrics for this year's RPM. I'm so glad they finally got used! You guys took them out of the context they were written for and put a nice new spin on 'em. You two make a really great team and I must say I'm proud to have been allowed to contribute a small part. Lord knows you don't need another lyricist when you've got REG on the job!! :-)

The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…

The wonderful MN songwriters helped take a bite out of the January cold on Tuesday night this week and added some amazing depth to Singing in the Silence - We were as usual, recording on a little TASCAM around my coffee table. We had lots of…
Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut
Like A Wave
--
If you make yourself a mule
someone's gonna ride you
this I know
Like a breeze moves through the air
or a wave upon the water
is how I go
When you can freely give
of all that you can hold
you can know no more…
...same for orbiting shuttle as in falling elevator; always accelerating towards earth to as if falling!!! Therefore, you fall at the same rate as shuttle, objects float relative to shuttle, can’t tell which way is up.

Track 5 from my RPMX album Cold Ground Was My Bed
Inspired by Salvador Dali. Mostly.
Gravity failing
Cats float flailing
Furniture in midair
Salvador smiling
Rainbows crying
Clocks melting everywhere
Pachyderms stilted
Lovers…
I predict that this will be one of the more popular tracks of the album, because the whole thing took about 45 minutes to create. It was COLD that day!!
Lyrics (approximate)
Doncha stand too close or you'll burn your toes
move your face…
It's tough to go wrong with a song like this. Not only is it wholly unoriginal, but I think I am exactly ripping someone off. I can't place the exact song, though.

Time to introduce myself as the fount of creation

This one went through many iterations before turning into what you hear. A key breakthrough came when I stumbled upon that keyboard part for the verses. That opened the whole thing up.
There is no reverb on any vox parts in this one. I loved how I was able to get the tone of the voices to have that mid-60s sound. This was aided by the fact I am running through an emulation of the Abbey Road mixing desk. ;)
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail
Used to find a…
When your world is destroyed as you know it, the ability to overcome and renew yourself is a very steep ascent. It may take years, and this song is about that struggle to 'let it go'
Defiance, self-doubt, hubris, failure, choosing...It's all here to hear.
The title is a nod to my love of a certain guitar player and singer from a late 60's act; who's solo records were even better. The vibrato guitar is inspired by him…
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…
Comments on Wildgeas Music's stuff
Nice chilled out track to open your RPM!
here's to doin' our own thing...cheers mate!
that's quite a recap tucked into this four minute nugget! But the best part is the message at the end...
this one could go on... a beautyful little mood piece
This is a really good one too... great guitar & keys. Another great collab! /faved/
Wicked guitar right off the bat! So far this is my favorite Reg/Geas track...
Woah, Reg channeling Roger Waters on this one, eh?
This is beautiful! Will have to check out the whole album later
Superb stuff.
I seem to have embarked on listen No 2 of the whole thing... lol You're right to be proud of it - it's pretty damn good.
Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-) Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
fun piece u 2,, the guitar play issss really really fine,, reminds me a bit of santana's style

Very nice work, gents! Very nice indeed.

neil diamond/phil lynott vox is killer. another good one.

Cool tune. Dig the rap....reminds me of something Eric Burdon would do.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Great tune and exceptional lyrics. Spot on

I would love to record/mix/master you folks.
Your a bad ass Kirk Lynch. Much love Amigo!
Good to hear from you ole' buddy. Interesting sounds man.
"Большо́му кораблю́ -- большо́е пла́вание." I do hope that's correct. A great ship needs deep waters.
I do like this tune. Had to listen again.
Damn.
@ Cave St. I just found him. He does remind me of me. :) Lovin' this original style of harp playin'. Harmonicas and synths - yeah!
Great synths.
Influence is not ripping off :)
One of the best tunes on this here website. A must listen.
Good call. The keys made the song. The reverse(guitar?)is cool too. Groove-a-licious.
Emulating a mixer? That's interesting. I need to know more. It works for sure.
Damn dude - kick ass album so far. Great effort all the way around. I feel like a groupie.
Whew! It don't get much better than that. Nice track Jana.
Fantastic mix F.D.R. Guitars are slammin'
Bad ass tune.
Knew this was you from across the room. You certainly have a rock and roll style all your own. Lovin' that wah-wah man.
Cool groovin'
I'm going with Stephen :)
Drums are fab.
