i see a light,
i see it, shining through,
like fire through the darkness,
through the gloom
i see myself, i'm rising up,
with a hand to raise me there,
to the sky and through the clouds,
to the blue
to the blue
i see a light shining…
seem to forget
nothing i had
is all there is
to regret
lost since my youth
in spite of it too
my dreams
will come true
all this time that you will find
i believe that i will fly
across the world
for you
now you will see
all…

so begins my love,
you'll feel my heart
you will know this time,
this turn is mine
i love you, you know i do
what happens now it's always true
so now this time,
you will see that my love won't die

you're like a mystery to me,
so dark that i can't see,
like ghosts that come and go,
your absence leaves me cold
how i'd like to warm your frozen heart,

within the shadows that you hide,

Just one song for this year's RPM Challenge. Live track. One mic.
NOT EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND
Woke up late last night, my knee in pain
Must've done it somewhere in the daily grind
Now I'm looking like a toddler just learning how to…
It's been a long 2+ years...
G/Bm - C9
Here we stand, hand in hand
Staring over the edge
Not the way we planned it
But what we have in the end
When the waves were crashing
How were we to know
That nothing would be the same
When we…
Walking in, I read the room
We’ve all been here before
The sign is in its place again
Right where I need to go
Everyone is looking lost
Like they’re waiting for a cue
I can see what this is asking
And I know just what to do
Temporary…
Verse 1
Morning keeps its promises
I don’t stop to question why
I stay ahead by staying busy
I don’t listen, I don’t try
I don’t ask it what it means
If I keep my hands in motion
I don’t hear what’s in between
Chorus
There’s a jar full…
I’m all for paying your dues
And getting what you deserve
And people say you’ll only get what you can bear
But it might be time
For people to find out
You only get so far on thoughts and prayers
People like to tell you
You’ve got it…
Great lyrics, ranging from anger to desperation to resignation... again, totally relatable. The music matches the tone of the song, awesome lead guitar solos.
They told me where to sit and stay
So that’s what I became
The room behaved exactly right
And I did the same
Nothing pressed, nothing pulled
No one asked me to decide
I stayed where circulation ends
And nothing else applied
I do the…
(Disclosure: Despite the Aug Upload, these are no longer the demo versions I had. I just didn't want to lose my high listen count... very vain, I know...)
Verse One
I hide in corners where the light won’t stay
Your voice slips through the…
Thank you to everyone that listen to the demos, these are now the newly recorded tracks!
Verse One
I’m burning out, I’m feeling down
I can’t explain when You’re not around
Every breath is a paper cut
I sleep in wreckage just to feel enough…
RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.
VERSE I
I don’t want to wait, till the end, to have you
And I know you’re the one, fill me up, when I’m through
Cause you completely satisfied me even before I’m done
And you’ll be right beside me even when I run
And I know it’s my fault…
VERSE I
I come from the cold
I need you to knead me
Stretch me, I take form
Need you to complete me
Pr CH
Cause you, you make
Me all I am and all that I should be
Chorus
With all that you are craving for
I don't know where I fit…
VERSE I
We have some decisions to make
On how to sustain our lives tonight
I have a feeling you already know
I have some catching up to do
We’ve had better thoughts
Than this bottom shelf idea tonight
The iron is ready go
Let’s get this…
VERSE I
Lettuce in first
To build a foundation
Everything else is up to you
It these choices
that you make, pour it on
that create the moment you have waited for
PRE CH
These tines, plunging in
CHORUS
And we are all so intricate…
It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.
I need a b-side songs for the flip side
A b-side song to prove that I tried
To put in the effort, to get things done
To try to…

Absolutely stunning songwriting!
This has a more open-road dispersing-clouds feel! I love the la la las! Probably my fave track on this album.
Very cool - those darker notes continue here. This album sounds like the soundtrack to some scary late night club thriller.
Great album opener, enjoying the tension!
I like the open spaces of this track. It has that 60's vibe
Angie Fights Crime is how I ended up here. WOW! I love this mix down. Great job! Rock on! Delicious! Gripping!
I dig this. It has a sweet psychedelic element. Stay groovy!
Liking what you've posted so far. Looking forward to hearing more.
I kinda like this too - even after I'd realised "that's all it was". And then it went off quietly... Wonderful sound.
Oh yes
Evocative.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
Late afternoon,chilling out with a beer on the sofa,sun beaming through the window's and this is the perfect soundtrack, cheers!!!

Sounds great... amazing it was recorded live with one mic. Wonderful lyrics, completely relatable (as the years add up...).
Lovely, subtle and restrained, hushed singing. Great closer to a great EP. Love the lyrics, very poignant.
Nice to have something catchy and humorous to break up some of the heaviness of the EP.
Nice, laidback vibe despite the subject matter... again, totally relatable, at least for me.
Great lyrics, ranging from anger to desperation to resignation... again, totally relatable. The music matches the tone of the song, awesome lead guitar solos.
Love the REM-esque vibe. Great lyrics, totally relatable.
Love this... quite dramatic, melancholy, and maybe even nihilistic? Or is it dystopian?
Don't know if you planning it but this would be great as the album closer. Excellent outro!
Catchy as heck! Love the horn section and the bass guitar tone. Well worth the “Alonetone Gold Status!”
This rocks.
It's funny because it's true.
Nice soundscapes. Kind of ominous and mysterious.
This rocks. Awesome chorus.
Love this. Wistful and melancholy.
Oh my, this is lovely! Tuneful and melancholy. Love the sparse arrangement, awesome vocals.
Very anthemic, awesome closer.
Great vocals on this one.
Love the drums and guitar sounds on this.
Darn, that chorus is catchy as heck.
Meta-brilliance, redux!
