Girls Pay Plastic Girls Pay Plastic
Alt-pop =@= The Killers and Modest Mouse Like my new symbol for "in a similar vein as"? The song is good, too.
Ghosts of Babylon Ghosts of Babylon
Contemporary folk-rock, reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, Evanescense, Metallica and Tonic. Two tempos - 80 and 100 - kinda clumsily transitioned.
Run Down the Gully Run Down the Gully
Guitar / mandolin / voice ballad, kinda like Allison Krauss' more country-flavored work.
Love Another Day Love Another Day
The music is entirely Alex Kam's. This is just a R&B lyric-writing/soul-singing exercise, of sorts. Alex already has other lyrics and is producing this for a vocalist in LA.
Yours to Break Yours to Break
Acoustic Blues-Rock song in a similar groove as Mindy Smith's "Come to Jesus"
Amazing Grace Amazing Grace
World-beat interpretation of John Newton's classic hymn with a Ladyship Black Mambazo-kinda flavor interspersed with the otherwise Jazz-pop aura. Or something like that. Just listen to the song.
Matilde (Cuando Vivias) Matilde (Cuando Vivias)
Cristian Castro / Enrique Iglesias (Cosas del Amor - era) latin ballad. Based on the poems "Cada dia, Matilde" and "Final" from "El mar y los campanas" by Pablo Neruda.
Bring Her Dreams to Life Bring Her Dreams to Life
Kinda RnB, mostly pop-ballad collab with Sharon Mark
Turn Into A Red Light Turn Into A Red Light
Collab with Adam Freeman of Muse's Muse. I guess it's indie pop-rock or something.
In Darkness In Darkness
Pop-metal reminiscent of Bon Jovi or Winger, from the CD "Madeline:
The Charge of the Light Brigade The Charge of the Light Brigade
Matchbox Twenty / Phil Collins / Meat Loaf - styled rock-pop anthem, based on the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
The Road Less Traveled The Road Less Traveled
Vanessa Carlton/James Taylor-style folk-pop with lyrics by the late Robert Frost. Part of my poem-adaptation CD project.
Aftermath Aftermath
A song for when water reminds us that we live on a blue world. Violently.
The Jumblies (Far and Few) The Jumblies (Far and Few)
My seven-minute conceit. Always wanted to set this poem to music, and now I have. Don't expect it to be popular, but maybe if you like Edward Lear's nonsense poem, you'll like the song. From the CD "One Traveler"
Endflame Endflame
I copped a quotation from Dante for the first verse of this song - hope I got the Italian right (please correct my pronunciation if I'm wrong!)
Caribbean Island Song Caribbean Island Song
Retro-ish pop song in the vein of Lionel Ritchie or El Debarge. One of my older ones redone recently.
