Simple and clear...

"Teddy bead kisses..." So sad.

Sounds like another suicide song to me... We can feel the pain in your voice.

I was once asked to write a happy song. It turned out to be about a woman who killed herself and when I found out THAT SHE ACTUALLY KILLED HERSELF I wasn't sure what to think about my premonition.https://alonetone.com/jamesmichaeltaylor/tracks/a-happy-song. THEN, later an old friend asked if I had any happy songs so I wrote this:https://alonetone.com/jamesmichaeltaylor/tracks/if-it-makes-you-happy-092914-1

"But still I love the comfort I find in misery…" Great line. Beatle like...and that's always good.

Great guitar sound.

Love this. Beautifully done. Tonight I was trying out a song from that era: Twilight Time...https://www.e-chords.com/chords/the-platters/twilight-time

I hear you’re drinking at the chocolate fountain You pulled the handle off the door But they won’t mind They’ll be mending it forever..." Great images...

Rock on Dude...! Good to listen to some of your tunes. It's been a while. Strange relationship in this song.

Another great song! Maybe it’s time to get the band back together!,!

Like it.

Beautiful piece.

What's really cool about these songs written long ago is that you are still able to remember the melody... I'm always having to remember my own music. I really like this one! Wise words of a twenty something... wiser that his years!

This is a universal message with a hauntingly sad melody. Everyone should be open to these words. Thank you Andrew.

The words really speak to me … as ever!

Congratulations!!!! Ended with another amazing tune - YES! That is a wealth of creativity in you my friend. I look forward to hearing all your other tunes. I hope you took a good rest after all this!!!

Amazing how this came towards the end of the challenge...simply gorgeous. I don't hear any fatigue in it. A sad song though and I'm imagining the story behind it. Beautiful.

This is another great one!!! and catchy too. I also loved hearing your description of how this came about - I totally relate!!! I actually don't like most of my own songs. This song captures the spirit of these challenges :)

I can't help but comment again! This is fabulous!!! Love how it came about - thank you Mrs. R.

What a loving ballad .....just perfect. That "little guitar bit" found its home :) Beautiful vocals here too.

That's a MIGHTY bass sound. A fine set of new songs.

Yep :-)

I love the riff in the middle. Ah, it comes back at the end :-)

That was a surprise, for two reasons: 1) I came in expecting some rocking. 2) I really liked it! Nice one

Apparently I'm a recent listener to this - I don't remember!! I'm sure I would've remembered this. Lovely sound. Those keys are fabulous. I just shut my eyes and let it roll. I love how he was so into it that he kept playing bass and keys even after the track had finished. And a cool touch to leave it on. Nice work guys.

Back for another listen. I was wondering whether the shine would have worn off after a few days... NAH! It's still wonderful :-)

Mighty fine song. I like how you've controlled all those guitar parts to make a smooth rolling track. And like B sez - that whistle is gorgeous.

Like it. No, that's wrong... Second listen, I love it. Gorgeous guitar sounds.

OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).

Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl) That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!

Woof! Lovely. When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe. I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound... You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to. Magnificent stuff.

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.

Huge sound! Loved it.

Liking your stuff - I'll be back for more :-)

I saw the title and I thought "I know a girl like that..." we have a wine rack with a lot of bottles beside it waiting for a space lol So glad I liked the track as well!

Rockin!!

Yeah... I wanna get one of my strats out - but it's past my bedtime... (it's certainly past the neighbour's bedtime anyway lol). Loved it. I'll be back for more :-)

At first I thought "he's uploaded, er, a recording of Jimi"! lol Brilliant, captured the feel of the riff, the way he double-tracked parts, the whole thing... Loved it.

I kinda like how the extra sounds, the rain etc, are louder than the performance itself. It really works like this.

Oh yeah, this was one kind of goes off on it's own. Some fine playing on here.
