I LOVE this... I got a notification that you'd posted - I thought "who's this? I remember the name, but..." Looks like I followed you when you first joined, but I'd dropped off the edge of the world by the time you started posting again! I got some catchng up to do :)
Wow. That was really great. Thanks for recording this. There's something special about hearing your own song played back through someone else's perspective.
I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…
Everywhere I go, there's so much noise
They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys
But nothing on this Earth I've ever found
Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down
When nothing else can make it right…
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows
It feels like you're sleeping behind the…
A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid
Then the world got bigger with other places to play
And getting so caught up in…
Reg has just realised he's living the dream he's just not sure what that dream is but he's having fun with it.....Hope you all had a good Christmas and here's to the New Year ...Keep Dreaming
Living the Dream
I was living in Memphis just…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
I don't know about you, but when I think "thanksgiving", I totally think "death metal"!
We boil the carcass to kill all the bacteria
The flesh is rotting we must be one step ahead
212 degrees more for more brutality
We boil the carcass…
It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.
October 2023 A-side? It started with the stupid singsong thing I remember hearing as a kid and then mutated into Meshuggah... with a special cameo at the end of the track.
Always interesting to hear how songs evolve. This stripped down demo version is great too... the forward vocals, acoustic guitar, and sparse drums create quite a different atmosphere.
Great, laid back sound. I like how the tambourine carries the song through, and that staccato violin sound. And yes, amazing guitar solo from Mr. Samford.
You came for the Earth. You stayed for the Wind. That gets you the Fire.
Tim - a voice
Andy - a guitar
Jarrett - A lotta voices, a lotta drums, and a fine, fine, FINE imitation of Michael McDonald.
I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
You wouldn't know if from my uploads over the last few months, but I rarely record covers, mostly because you hear what's WRONG, not what's RIGHT. But I had a theme of Earth, Wind, & Fire for September, so I decided to take on a huge song…
THIS... IS... AMAZING! Has that definite Letter Seventeen style but faithful to the original, right down to the nuances. The synthetic handclaps, the disco guitar in the chorus, great drumming from Jarrett... well done!
September 2023 A-side
We sailed up to the shore some island we don't know
We dropped our anchor then we left the boat
I know we're risking all but this is worth the chance
Just think of all the wealth we'll take back home
We'll be fine…
The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
The B-side for my July 30DaySongs submission is a cover of a tune I've loved since it came out way back in 1982. Wilsun has been having a rough go if it lately and I recorded this to hopefully cheer him up for a bit.

You did a great job with this! Sounds great!
Love the song and this version!
Something very raw and beautiful about this - emotive and authentic. I love your lyrics also.
nice, you used everything!!
I love this.
Such a great number, wilsun!
I really like the melancholy feel of the beginning. The space is nice, and the synth at 2:30 is perfect.
Brought me back to 1975 and the opening of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."
Wilsun does REM better than REM. Well crafted track.
wow. very very very everything!
This Is a knockout track!

This is my favorite off of this record, great job!
Love the ambiance and feel!

Beautiful shadows of the loveliness I've just been enjoying.
Really enjoyed this gentle, delicately haunting album. Fave track is Home (downloaded for my car playlist).
Lovely arc! Anthemic chorus melody.
They do say, never upset a songwriter. I do hope this hasn't come from a place of truth. Great song!
Such an underlying sadness - beautiful song but oh my.

This is brilliant. Meta, but brilliant, nevertheless. Great, clean sound too. A simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and vocal can work so well.
Great sound on this, lots of space. Love the call and response outro. Excellent EP, Keith!
Love the guitar sound on this, crisp and clear. Heartbreaking lyrics.
Heartfelt and poetic, nicely done!
Great optimism, keep living the dream.
Oh how poignant! Wonderful vocals too.
"Can't I just stay home this time..." Same, dude... same.
LOL... this... is... amazing!
ooh, what a fun listen! Definitely got the Halloween vibes going.
Haha... this is awesome! Brought a smile to my face.

I love outtakes.
This is a vibe... definitely has that 70's Yacht-Rock sound! Great bg vocals and guitar solo.

Excellent! It's menacing and calming at the same time.
Darn catchy, fun listen!
This friggin' rocks! Love the thick, sludgy, dirty sound. Great mix too. Epic song (both parts)!
back and catchy, love the middle section with the multi vocals and drums coming in.
It's like a loungey version of a Synth-pop classic! Well done, and a very fun listen. Thanks for bring a smile on my face for a bit.
