The 11th and final song for the seventh edition of Quarantine Tunes. I promised myself I was going to stop at volume six and now we have volume seven and I've already started working on volume eight.
This is okay. I like the three part harmonies…

Two songs in one! I was working on a couple of things for a Record Every Month challenge a couple of years ago and unconsciously wrote two songs with virtually the same chord changes in their choruses. Once I figured it out I made a gag out…

This re-recorded song comes from the 2022 RPM Challenge. I am not really pleased with this new version. I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is, but there is something here that is making me unhappy.

This one was originally written for the Record Every Month challenge last year. June 2023, I think. I liked it immediately and wanted to see if I could improve on it. I think I did, though marginally so. Even after spending a few months tinkering…

Another song from the 2021 RPM Challenge (I think?) that has been re-recorded for the Quarantine Tunes Volume Seven project. This song sort of rocks. I changed the arrangement a little and rethought the way the harmony vocals were structured…

Written during Spring Break 2001. Can you guess which day it comes from? The lyric is about how I was on day 4 and had already run out of ideas. Kinda typical.

"Vanishing Point" was an attempt to force myself to write a full song. I had been playing in Break Even for about a year and found myself completely unable to write music. I had just set up a nice little 8-track studio (sort of) at home and I…

Third of seven left overs from April 2007. This one was sort of a throw away from the beginning. It resulted in me not being able to come up with anything clever, so I just threw something easy and hyperactive and short together.

Usually I like songs less when they are finished. This one I think I like more. I had planned on dropping this one but now I'm not sure.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Song idea number one for the 2024 RPM Challenge becomes finished song number one.
This might be the only song I like for this year's RPM Challenge. We'll see. Is the mix too reverby? Probably. I like it today but I might not like it tomorrow…

Song idea number 20 is finished song number eight of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge.
I really like the vibe of this one, simple and basic with a cool groove, but I HATE the vocals. The melody, the lyrics, and most of all the performance…

Song idea number 12 becomes finished mix number ten of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge.
I don't hate it, but the lyrics are laughably bad and there are some really bad pitches in the vocals in the chorus that were copied and pasted all over…

Prior to the switch to the white UI I was having an issue where all of my uploads were marked as private and I couldn’t change them. I created a second account and moved on. Then after the white UI switch I found a couple of tracks had vanished so I moved everything back to this account and deleted v2.
