This page is dedicated to RMMS (rec.music.makers.songwriting)song challenges. The concept is very simple. Everyone suggests one or more names for a song and the list is voted down until there is one winning title. Everyone then writes a song with that title. The results are amazing. There are so many variations and no two are alike. These songs are my entries. They are listed in order of writing and a recorded commentary introduces each one. These are simply done using various software tools along with a Washburn guitar and a Yamaha keyboard.

Lyrics
[v1] I got up on Wednesday morning Like I did every other day This time I had my coffee black Cause the world was in disarray [v2] Took the ferry to get to work When I looked to the other shore I could see the sun shining bright Where there was a building before [prech] I'm not worried When the world's askew I'm not scared On floor fifty-two [ch] My view may be hazy But I've grown more astute The world may be crazy I'm wearing a parachute. [v3] It may seem like paranoia And look funny in people's eyes Better to be safe than sorry If I have to work in the skies [v4] I watched the time til five o'clock I took the elevator down I felt relief and gratitude When I knelt down and kissed the ground [prech] I'm not worried When the world's askew I'm not scared On floor fifty-two [ch] My view may be hazy But I've grown more astute The world may be crazy I'm wearing a parachute.
