  • Snow Day

    Snow Day

    It snowed hard here in Maine. As I looked out into the backyard and the snow was accumulating fast, this song appeared in my head. I began to sing it. Then it got stuck in Miss Hazel’s head. So we grabbed the kid’s Mac and recorded our little Snow Day song so it can get…

  • Nine million years of JEM Songs

    I’ve been writing little ditties and songs since 1986 in journals. Some of those songs became recordings for Rain Station, Time Brats, and other musical projects. All my journals are hand written, and I was concerned that if I ever lost them, I would lose my songs. So I took a few days and wrote…

  • All Alone. Latest song by Rain Station.

    It is indeed a wonderous thing when Mr. Mark Harvey comes to play his guitars. It’s not easy getting both of us in the same room at the same time, but when it happens, I think it’s what we’re on earth to do. Make music together. Here’s another fun clunky ditty we put together for…

  • Give The World

    You’ve got a lot to give the world. Open up to see. It’s all right there for you right now – the possibilities. You’ve got a lot to give the world, it’s plain to see. All you really need to do – set your mind free. All the world is in a rush Years go…

  • Hold Your Love

    Now that I’m a parent, time means more to me than it ever has before. Life gets so busy, it’s unbelievable. To find time to spend with my sweetie seems impossible. I don’t know what to do, I miss her so much. When we do find that time to relax with one another, it’s so…

  • Lazy Day

    Every year after day light savings, and Spring is ready to go “Boing”, the sky seems to get brighter and brighter each day until my whole face is a squinting wrinkle. My whole face hurts from squinting the last two days. Now, I don’t want to complain about the nice weather, we all want the…

  • Get Outta The Way

    When you’ve gotta get there and get the job done. Who else is gonna do it? No one. You’re gonna do it. This song is for driving down the road. Driving down the road going to work. You’re gonna get the job done. And when it’s done it’s gonna be done right, and then you…

  • California

    I recorded the vocal track over and over today on RS-11. I tried every voice I have. Deep, dark and close to the mic, big and loud far away from the mic… soft and stoney… this is the closest I got so far. A regular relaxed, just “me” voice. I’ll try to learn the song…

  • Dread Pirate Roberts

    My daughter was going on and on making up a story about a pirate and a princess. I got to thinking about the Dread Pirate Roberts, and what may have happened after he and his Princess Bride sailed off together. I was going to watch American Idol, but instead, I wrote and recorded this silly…
