We don't usually do cover versions of songs, because I am terrible at them.  We've made an exception for this wonderful, moody song from New Order's first album.  I have loved this song forever and I think we have done it justice with this arrangement.  If you like it, please hit that like button and let others know about our efforts.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Cheers.

Your Silent Face

Nothing But the Wind was written within the last 2-3 months for a friend who was about to run a marathon.  It's a smooth ballad that floats like clouds in the sky on a sunny day.  The song revolves around a central riff and was written and recorded in an open tuning.  We hope you like this little shanty. Thanks for having a listen.

Nothing But the Wind (RC Sterling)

I don't really remember when I wrote this song.  I do know it's a joining of two older ideas that never seemed to work on their own.  So here it is for you to judge - does this idea work?  It's a melancholy song that's fairly short.  The instrumentation is fairly bare - drums, bass, guitar  and vox.  Hope you like this little ditty.  Thanks for having a listen.   Cheers.

Someone Else's Song (RC Sterling)

No Idea How is another melody that's been floating around as an idea for a few months waiting to come to fruition.  I finally wrote some lyrics and assembled the team - here is the product of our efforts.  A fairly subdued pop/rock ballad with muted guitar parts.  We hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen.  Cheers.

No Idea How (RC Sterling)

Never Forget is a song that dates back a few years. It's a slow ballad that tells a sad tale of loss.  It's been recorded by me many times which tells you I don't really know how this song should sound even though I really like the melody a lot.  In this version, I've gone for a very spare arrangement.  Thanks for having a listen and if you like what you've heard please hit the like button.  We love reposts.  Cheers

Never Forget (RC Sterling)

This is an alternate take on a hard rocking song that I wrote a few years back called Stripes.  I have no idea why the song is called Stripes, but it is.  In this rethinking of the song, we asked ouselves what it would sound like if it had been written and recorded in the 70s (which in my case wasn't completely out of the question).  Thus, this alternate version was born.  I have to admit, I kind of like it although other than the melody and central rii, it bears no resemblance to its earlier incarnation.  Let us know what you think.  Hit the Like button, repost.  Let the whole damn world know!

Stripes (Alternate Version)

The Jokes on You is another one of those songs where we recently asked ourselves how this rock song would sound funked up a little like a 70s R&B number.  Here's the answer.  If you like it, please hit that Like button and repost so others learn about us.  Thanks for stopping by!

The Jokes on You (Alternate Version)

It Only Hurts When I Laugh is the first song I ever wrote.  It's a bitter, angry song over a straightforward rock melody.  I was channeling my inner Dylan when I sat down to write this many years ago.  This recording incorporates all of the elements from an earlier attempt at tracking the tune with one major difference - I'm not singing it and that makes all the difference.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen to this sad song.

It Only Hurts When I Laugh (RC Sterling)

I Remember is one of my favorite collaborations with Jackie Irving.  In this recording, the song has been envisioned as a 70's R & B number.  It makes me laugh and happy at the same time.  Have a listen to both here and let us know which you think is the better rendition.  Cheers

I Remember (2025 Alt Version)

The lyrics of this song are based on a true event that occurred in New York some time back.  The song, which started as a folk song, has been around for a while, but here is presented as a rock song which is how I always viewed it.  It's got a nice groove that we hope you like.  If so, please hit the damn like button and let folks know.  Cheers.

Gold Card (RC Sterling)

Over a 40 year span, I have written a countless number of songs, alone or in collaboration with others.  Here, you will find the product of those efforts with many songs recently re-recorded.  Frequently, earlier versions live here as well. All songs were written by me (RC Sterling) unless otherwise noted.  While several singers contribute to what you hear, the most common element across the material is a commitment to crafting catchy pop/rock/alternative tunes. In some instances AI programs have been used to isolate older vocal tracks when the original audio files could not be found.  All tracks have been auto tuned and pitch corrected as needed. Unfortunately, nothing could help those demos that featured my lead vocals. 😁
