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…

There are things I cannot do without x2
And if I ever run out of the things I cannot do without
I'll run to the nearest 'things I cannot do without' store
And I'll run in and I'll buy some x2
And if someday their running out
Of the things…

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…

When they make the film about my life and times later down the line I'd like you to do the soundtrack? That ok? Makes me feel like im in a film, locked in dark contemplation. eerie. catchy. good. :)
This one.. believe it or not.. helped me sort out a problem thats been buggin me.. then, it turned out the title was exactly the conclusion I'd come to. Freaky!
A WildGeas and CaveStreet collaboration
some say once upon a time
there was a line
that was never meant to be crossed
if ever that occurred
you might have heard
an innocence would have to be lost
but having crossed that line
I can…
The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…
Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad things I’ve done.
Baby, that’s and old…
Lyrics:
Well you know everything is changing, you can’t tell which way to go.
It’s just booze, guns, and acid, and one huge pile of blow.
I gotta make some corrections, it’s not hard to see.
Maybe find myself a holy man to take this devil…
Lyrics:
I spend all my time with no one
And I just live with my mistakes.
I’m so tired of being lonesome.
This is more than I can take.
I can’t wait, I can’t wait…
For someone I can hold on to.
For a love that will be true.
For someone…
awesome. love the lyrics in this one particularly but noticing more and more how strong they are throughout. you doing RPM this year? Hope so. If so. Cant wait. piano? geetar? bit of both?
Lyrics:
Mama, quit talking crazy.
We both know you’re never gonna leave me, baby
Because you’re scared to.
We got us a history
But love is only a drugstore mystery, baby,
That I don’t care to read.
This ain’t real, baby.
We both know…
Lyrics:
I don’t want to live to see that it’s over
But I don’t want to leave before my time.
So here’s what I’m gonna do.
No, no, baby, I ain’t gonna lose you,
I’ll just meet up with you further on down the line.
Well I can’t tell myself…
Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…
The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.
So this one was a melody I had floating around for a couple of years. It originally came to me in driveway while getting the car. Who knew that walking around from the passenger side to the driver's side could be so inspirational. Anyway, I originally…
I really debated uploading this one. It's kind of weak production wise, but it was part of the album. You may love it, hate it, but I decided to keep everything intact. Warts and all...
So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…
The title track. I still like this one, though it is somewhat dense, sonically speaking. Another song where I think I pulled of the lyrics relatively well.
agree with the fella about the groove of this one. like riding a wave. awesome. like the disintegration at the end too. good move. Was that backwards vocals?
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.
My Skin
Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in
