You Saved Us 03:55
You Saved Us You say you want Then you turn to dust I’m not sure love Is what you’re thinking of You say you want Then you turn away I think you’re starting To fade away I love you when you float down the streetlights light your way I love you while you float away I saw you there you had summer in your hair, and I was lost in love Then you saved us a river of despair You saved us and then you disappear Love me, like no one’s loved me Understand me like no one could stand me understand me Cuz I’m broken record in the sand And I don’t eel like this world understands And I’m forming my final plan And I watch you fade away And I love you while you turn to sand And I love you as you disappear

15 Years and Counting

A note from Edrie:

Walter and I met during the time of the first RPM Challenge.

Since that 1st RPM entry, we've released 15 RPM Albums, 4 commercial releases, countless other music; including sound tracks to the game DRAKE HOLLOW by The Molasses Flood (out on Xbox in June 2020) silent movies, singles, covers, a feature length movie soundtrack for the indie movie Some Freaks (which you can WATCH NOW on Netflix - www.netflix.com/title/80175314) and the score to a couple of Alice shorts by American McGee.


We've also put on one original musical "28 Seeds" partnering with Liars & Believers at the Boston Center for the Arts - which started out as an RPM Challenge entry, and our second musical (Partnering with Company One), SHOCKHEADED PETER, which was originally by our hero band the Tiger Lillies.

And it hasn't been all music!

Walter has done countless fine art commissions, gave political art for BOARDERx an anthology raising money to get children out of cages (border-x.com) released pop art prints, created several comics and a children's book, created all of the art for SHOCKHEADED PETER, AND is currently working on a new series of found print art, and his new projects are even more ambitious!

FIVE years ago at this time Walter and I welcomed Wednesday Alice Edrie - who was born on 2/23/2015 (a month early) to parents not quite done with their RPM entry, who were in the middle of tech for their theatre show and who were grateful she didn't come during one of the epic 2015 Boston snow storms!


CUTTING HORSE is our 15th RPM offering. The band recorded, and Walter mixed and mastered everything by himself in our tiny home studio.

CUTTING HORSE is dedicated to the last 15 years of RPMs and to the people, places, and things that have made us who we are today.

Thank you RPM! May the next 15 be as eventful and successful!

Love & Tentacles

Edrie, Walter, Wednesday & the rest of the Broken Toys
