Rum with a View 03:32
lyrics

Under your spell... i saw palm trees and evergreens on my way over from the airport Take it in for a second cause you really wanna make it There’s no room for a mistake but you can have fun, that’s for sure Please be careful We’re weary Pause for a minute cause you came into some money That you didn’t have before and now you’re feeling kind of lucky Once a lifetime Make history I don’t know if you know what I am going through Do you think of me the same way I think of you? Get up way too early cause you gotta catch the bus Don’t forget to save that money and invest it in her trust Don’t be silly You know it’s about you I don’t know if you know what I am going through Do you think of me the same way I think of you? Baby, baby I’m hiding it from you Darling, darling You gotta see this view Baby, baby Make me an offer Maybe, maybe Tomorrow I’ll know what to do Falling face first on the couch… Under your spell... There were palm trees and evergreens On your way over from the airport Gotta make a choice before they come for me gotta share the wealth, gotta make some memories Paint a picture Of your third floor view Quiet all along, but on the inside I am screaming Swept off of my feet from this California dreaming I have made a Such a grave/great [record both] mistake I don’t think that you know what I am going through Do you think of me the same way I think of you? Baby, baby I’m hiding it from you Darling, darling You gotta see this view Baby, baby Make me an offer Maybe, maybe Tomorrow I’ll know what to do I think I might like it I think I might like it I think I might like it Here...

Snow Falls 03:49

Snow, snow falls There's no one to help her at all Once ain't enough when the shoveling gets tough Ever since they got the word They smile through the tears cause deep down they fear four months apart brings the hurt She cannot tell if she's happy or sad while she waits by the window He left her behind for such a long time It's good for him though Time, time flies As the clocks tick tock on their minds Surpassed by their peers with better careers Still they found comfort in life A dream of backyards, a savings to start They know that this love will survive She cannot tell if she's happy or sad while she waits by the window He left her behind for such a long time It's good for him though As the snow falls... As the snow falls... SOLO She cannot tell if she's happy or sad while she waits by the window He left her behind for such a long time It's good for him though As the snow falls... As the snow falls... She cannot tell if she's happy or sad while she waits by the window He left her behind for such a long time It's good for him though

The Fountain 03:56
lyrics

In the distance on the mountain Under the treetops there’s a fountain If you get there hope you that find What you came for in your own mind And I don’t think things can stay this way At least not for much longer In the fountain I was someone You fell in love with. Now I’m no one. And the monsters with the power In the fountain were devoured And I don’t think things can stay this way At least not for much longer [Solo] And I don’t think things can stay this way At least not for much longer... When you see me please remember All that we did, all we treasured And I’ll look deep, into your eyes Can you see me? Do you realize? And I don’t think things can stay this way (way way way way) lower your expectations feel the subsonic vibrations leave your suit behind backwards forwards all in time And I don’t think things can stay this way At least not for much longer (way way way way)

Dusty Records 04:38

Suddenly I am driving on down South street, and wishing on a star To end up at your doorstep with records in my arms Don’t mind the dust. Could I just come in for a few minutes? I think you’ll find I haven’t changed much Too much And now we are standing at your table speaking at the shelves Ignoring that we are shells of former cells So how have you been Tell me when you last heard from anyone else I get the feeling you’re not the same As...you were And I don’t mind at all Pick a side and turn it up Let’s get lost Like we used to Let’s get lost Take us back to Easton where that reckless party was We fell asleep together, I woke up to your shoves It’s all my fault These thoughts turned me upside down and backwards I tried but I just don’t feel the pain, it’s not the same I tried to accept the pain, except the blame But I don't mind at all Pick a side and turn it up Let's get lost Like we used to Let's get lost Let's get lost Like we used to (Let’s get lost / Let’s get lost)

can you hear me? I’m shouting all I can but I can’t hear myself can you see me? looking in the mirror i see i’m someone else can you face me? i turn off all the lights cuz i can’t face myself can you love me? i got a broken heart and that’s no good for my health There goes my world I’m hanging up my heart on the moon Can’t face the truth I drift along in space without you i didn’t mean to neglect the life we built and let it rot away i didn’t want to end up on my own with nothing left to say i didn’t think to capture all your feelings and wish upon a star / put them in a jar i didn’t hear you when you told me that i had taken it too far There goes my world I’m hanging up my heart on the moon Can’t face the truth I drift along in space without you

Summon Your Love 04:12
lyrics

After months on my own I still sleep on the same side of bed Tossing and turning, no one to my left Flipping the pillows, getting no rest I wake up diagonal face down No one to shake me awake Each alarm interrupts the last Who will tell me if I’m runnin’ late? Send me some love Just enough to fill in this missing piece Some of your love Just a little taste til you come back to me Summon your love A long warm hug Summon your love A long warm hug That feels like this… [Instrumental Break] I kissed the camera Wishing that I kissed you instead My eyes wide open, my eyelids are shut I put down the phone and crawl back in bed Summon your love A long warm hug That’s what I really need If I gotta, I’ll beg and plead If one day had been a year I’d stay a week if you were here I would. I would. Nothing moves here without my touch Never thought I could miss you this much I could. I could. Let’s settle in the city and never look back Can’t afford a house but don’t think about that We could. We could.

Like You 04:49
lyrics

People come from far and wide They hear about the treasures found inside And what of you? What do you hide? You act like we need you to survive Here you come to cop a feel Take me in, tell me do we have a deal? I’ve seen your kind I know your type I’ll show you everything that you like What else is there for you to do? They sold you a dream - do you want it to come true? No time to look in the rear view Make up your mind now because we like you Tell us the truth, what sent you hear You never made your intentions clear Is it fame? Or is it fun? You’re getting off before we’ve begun All the thrills All the eyes Taking in The ecstasy of the night Driving fast Raising hell No regrets Nobody dares to tell What else is there for you to do? They sold you a dream - do you want it to come true? No time to look in the rear view Make up your mind now because we like you [Bridge] i need your kisses, i need that gaze i need your love in a thousand ways i need you to know that you’ve always needed me What else is there for you to do? We sold you a dream - do you want it to come true? No time to look in the rear view Make up your mind now because we like you What else is there for you to do? We sold you a dream - do you want it to come true? No time to look in the rear view Make up your mind now because we like you

Pool Table It 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Even the walls start to dance Electrified with romance From your head down to your toes Give in. Let go. Getting ready for the city on a Friday night Jumping on the Caltrain with the crew in sight Rendezvous with a brown bag and an open mind Next stop The top It drops We bop Even the walls start to dance Electrified with romance From your head down to your toes Give in. Let go. Sneaking into a room and feeling the vibes No limit to your love, no timidness to hide Dancing with an astronaut inside a foggy swamp Then after hours stomping in an autobody shop We run From the sun The fun The fun Even the walls start to dance Electrified with romance From your head down to your toes Give in. Let go. (Solo) The trip is over It’s overwhelming Give up the power Forget the feeling If I could take it I said I’d do it I knew I’d make it But now I blew it I love to hear it I’m here to love it I couldn’t dream it I float above it From here I see it From here I see it all

about

I started working on these songs during the 2017 RPM Challenge - to write, record, and release an album in the month of February.

I ran out of time back then, toyed with them for a few months, then set them aside until now.

This year, for my second attempt at the RPM Challenge, I wanted to finish them off. These songs take me back to a very special place, as I was temporarily living in California when I wrote them. So many memories.

I'm happy to have them live on in these songs, and I feel proud for putting them out there into the world. Thanks RPM!
