Lullaby 03:22

Selkie 05:06
Along the wild strand, by the old broken stones, near that keening sea She wanders alone to those waters that call and the one that she used to be. It's been awhile since she left her family and she swam so freely near the rocks And that midsummer's air when she tore at her hair for something stolen, something grand, something lost. From the shore you can see a wee windswept house with a chime made of seashells and lies. There are three children there whom she holds very dear for their mother's gone to the other side And their father comes home like a terrible storm, the gale in his voice is so cold And each and every day she dreams of a way she'll find her way back to the foam Chorus Let the waters come and find me x3 And carry me on And while he's away and his children play, she watches the seals swim free Till one day the rains came and tucked her away in a small room where light's rarely seen And there behind books was a cupboard locked strong. She used all the strength even known And in the dark den was her own seal skin which she grabbed and ran back to the foam. Chorus Later that day he sailed back home and as he tied up his fishing boat He noticed no smoke coming up from the hearth and the children were out in the cold He called out her name yelling curses the same; knowing well a silkie was she And from the waters deep, she watched his defeat as she swam to the end of the sea. Chorus

Set Me Free 03:12
The patterned clouds moved slow and free as the summer sweetly breathed and quietly you interweaved your fingers, heart, and dreams you held me close then you pushed me far away then you set sail to bring me home you told me things would be as perfect as we dreamed and then you left me all alone Chorus I hear the echo in the shell that you gave me a long, long time ago and in its voice a song we’d sing And all the stars that we wished upon and all those plans that I counted on Won’t you please Set me Free? People talk and wonder where you’ve been you’re so far away I smile and say that you have your things and we’re okay and come what may I spend my time flipping pages thinking back to see if i had done you wrong but i was there when no one seemed to care, a friend to share a laugh and play another song Chorus Sometimes a friendship has to end Sometimes the vision quickly bends Sometimes I stay and wait too long Sometimes the pain floods back to me Sometimes I live the reverie when you and I were growing strong Chorus

We met in a trainwreck of glitter That gave the world a little kick And we danced a tarantella, just as Moe sang a capella And we packed it up and left the scene right quick We moved through the streetlights of Paris And sipped Absinthe along the Seine And we heard a laughing fairy as we can-canned bold and merry Then we roved just like the night would never end Chorus Singing tales of summer and the wonders of love We’ll weave stories of beauty and you’ll see them in the stars above We slept in the sun in Barcelona In fields plucked flowers for our hair And I charmed a Spanish cutie and we tangoed like a fury Until his wife came out and gave me quite the scare! The life of a traveler's rather simple Just know when to run or stay and play For when the music is a flowing and the wine makes faces glowing Oh the true Bohemian spirit is the way for... Chorus Solo We roved and we roved this wild world over Singing songs from town to town is all we know For this life is gypsy friendly, when you’re with us you are family and your family is the place that you call home Chorus

about

What is the RPM Challenge?

Write 10 new songs or 35 minutes of music, record it yourself, & make the CD artwork in the month of February,
the shortest month of the year!
In 2011, I took a year off from the RPM Challenge.
2012 marks my 5th year doing this epic challenge.
Within 29 days, this music was written & recorded.
What a month!
At times, I felt that I was running in circles. It’s funny how, in such a short span of time, days can be filled with the fog of past heartache, winter colds and sniffles, travels to here to there and back again.
As spring fingers stretch, dreams were waking, yawning.
Sometimes all we have is that dusty light peeking in the window.
Not every egg in this nest is golden.
This CD is a true reminder that
you are holding a record in time… and nothing more

Thanks for listening.
