RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.

Hi everyone.. I wrote this song for Archie Watson, son of my dear friends Lauren and Bradley Watson, who sadly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease just before Christmas. Tay-sachs is a rare genetic disorder for which there is currently no cure…
A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…
Like your sound. Maybe a tad less f/x on your voice. I want to understand your words. What are you recording on? (jamesmichaeltaylor@jamesmichaeltaylor.com)
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
DEEP WITHIN THE HISS, LURKS A SONG!!
what is a novelty song?
It's one that sits in your brain
Without room for another one
What is a novelty song?
well it seaps to our brain
and its there it remains
until it ruins the other songs

There are things I cannot do without x2

I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store

And if someday their running out

Are you in touch with your past?
Do you remember before?
Are you scared of this world?
Are there locks on your door?
Is there anyone here,
who can prove that they are?
Are we anywhere near
To having too far x2
Are we anywhere near?
Are you…

really like the mix of the raw chug and the backing vocal woo type bits on this one. Tone of your vocal is an asset too, and you can really hear it on this one. A very natural advantage that! Like the more speaky part especially.
this is a song that came from the pain of dealing with idiots that just dont get it on a daily basis. newest mix tries to deal with vocal vs instruments imbalance.
theres alot of idiots out there to write about! I often feel lucky to have music to vent or else I dont know where I'd be.
Really catchy melody here. Think that ones gonna still be with me come tea time
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
The same name calls me father
Reject the pharaohs promise
Hit one and feign the other
Another pyramid to build
The sky rejects the other
Full frontal luminescent
Hit twice but feeling nothing
Another suicide dispenser
Feel smaller shame the pathetic…
RPM 2011
Seasons start to change without much worry
Ordinary days no reason to remain
The clouds will force the rain realize its glory
Nothing keeps us sane better start to hurry
Slow monkey cabin fever
Free clinic dirty needle
They’ve gone…
RPM 2011
Wait for the room to focus
Feeling around for closure
The whiteness of my skin
The pale reflecting eyes
The beaty of total darkness
Move to the door and open
Room after room of sorrow
Breathing through your mouth
Flooding from your eyes…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?
i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
nice feel to that. lovely guitar.. really dreamy, atmospheric.. sent me somewhere. somewhere cold, and windy. think it was the mountain on a winters day. was raining too. refreshing though so ta
Final version
Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.
track nine, or at least…

I love the chords in the chorus in this.. dark, but brilliant. Especially good use of your vocal in the verse and the chorus is a real pay off. Sold.
