The American Economy

With all this stuff going on with the economy, I just have to post some lyrics for you to check out.

I added ALL of the lyrics from Big-Hired Assassin, Freedom Of Existence, and my album Buy One, Get One Free to the site.

The lyrics I want to share with you are from Buy One, Get One Free — all directly related to the economy, or at least mentions some of the stuff that that is going on with the current ‘Economic Crisis.’

Buy One, Get One Free has 20 tracks — folk rock — and was recorded between 2004 and 2005. It was released January 26th, 2006.

• 222 (Peace And Love) – Mentions George W. and his famous ‘nucular‘ comment, along with a million other things like microwave ovens, Christmas trees, pills, and Blockbuster.
• Off Of My Mountain – One of my favorite ‘rant‘ songs that I’ve done. Love the lyrics.
• Digital – Bringing the Troops home, war, fear, tv, terror — powerful words.
• Clock Of Blues – All about ‘punching the clock’ and not wanting to.
• Spectral Commissioner – You should listen to this one on headphones. Wild… doesn’t go with the album theme, but that’s one of the things I like about it.

Congress unveils rescue bill

As I was updating the site, I had to go through all the lyrics, and check the links. Having all those politicians sitting around talking about corporate greed while our troops fight made me REALLY want to link to a song I wrote in 2005 called Digital.

These lyrics just bring it home for me right now…

Spinning The Wheel…

As you can see, OTP Records has been revamped again. I’m really happy with this version!

Things are mapped out really well and I’ve made it so much easier on myself with the layout and the options. Take a look around, download some music, show some love…

The artist sites have already been simplified just to basically deal with the release of the albums, etc. and this is where I will be doing all my blogging.

I can’t tell you how great it feels to know that this is the only site/area, that I have to update regularly. I actually look really forward to it now!

Those of you that have been with OTP from its inception know how many versions I’ve gone through… little obsessive, I guess…

Been listening to a lot of Amos Lee lately. Brilliant!

A Cold Road To Follow

This track was recorded back in 2006. It was my second GarageBand track and the melody/words were improvised on the spot. The craziest part about this is that the microphone that was used to record the vocals was the actual internal mic on my MacBook!

Where the darkness stays upon you
Where you stay for years
It’s just like time to take upon you
Could I find you there
It’s a cold road to follow
Harder than you think

Better not be looking over your shoulder
Because there’s a lot of people there to see
If I was gone from your vision
A deafening sound to your ears
You think it’s over, but it’s just begun
Time to take it home my dear
Time to take it home
Time to take it home
Time to take it… home

Take it home
