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.

Story behind the song
Written for the USA Today request for an oil spill song.
Lyrics
Free From Oil Lying on a beach littered in oil and tar A pelican dies Another bird cries The whole world sighs Swimming in a sea of melancholy crude Marine life decays We'd better pray Is there a better way? Free from oil A better world The sea is bluer in its absence Free from oil Free from oil Free from oil Sitting all alone on a deserted beach A fisherman stares Does anyone care? Will the fish be there? Free from oil A better world The sea is bluer in its absence Free from oil Free from oil Free from oil Solar energy and wind power Alternatives to all this madness Now we've had enough It's only common sense Free from oil A better world The sea is bluer in its absence Free from oil Free from oil Free from oil Free from oil A better world The sea is bluer in its absence Free from oil Free from oil No more oil
