This is the "album" I made for the RPM Challenge 2023, the third one of these that I have done now. I was only able to complete 6 this time around. This is not cohesive piece, but rather a documentation of my experience and an opportunity to create content for the sake of creating content. All songs have lyrics and equipment used in their description if you are curious. 

I consider these songs works in progress, and I will likely revisit them in the future to development them further by mastering them more or adding new parts. Tracks are in chronological order. I hope you enjoy what I've made, and I appreciate any feedback. Thanks for listening!

Insight (Demo)

Coming to you in overtime
Did you see the light
Did you know that not everything is alright

Should we meet in the after life
Will you have more time
Or are you always on the daily grind

Are you having enough fun
Have you seen the sun
Today or this week at all

Are you doing the things you want
In the years you’re young
Or did it fade in a flash of light

Did you see the sign
I can read your mind
And I know not everything is alright

Coming to you in overtime
Did you see the light
Did you know that not everything is alright

Don’t go and waste it just face it with all you can be
Don’t go and waste it just try it and see what you see
Don’t go and waste it embrace it with all you can be
Don’t go and waste it just try it and see what you see

Overtime
