When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…

Me...Yes, but does the autism show?
Vicki...Not necessarily. But the talent for music and creative expression coupled with the line voice of the narrator yearning to connect with others is pretty tell-tale imho It’s a recurrent theme. Even your social justice stance of anti-war. The outsider. The outlier. High intelligence and love of literature…

Not many other aspies have a handle on this too good. It would come down to sensory issues really. But if it’s not autism (Asperger’s syndrome) it’s probably something neurodivergent. And that could be ADHD (not always hyperactive presentation but more a neurology and the way you think) or bipolar (creatives) or something like sound synesthesia or dyslexia etc

as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed

I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

From a little 4" reel of tape, this is the first attempt I made at using a Time Lag Accumulator set-up, where the tape is strung between two machines (in this case a Tandberg 3341X and a cheap Sears portable), with the initial sound recorded on…

Thanks, Bill. I obviously thought enough of it at the time to be a keeper, and have probably listened to it a few times since, but found even more to appreciate this time around. A week later, I recorded this with the same set-up: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/track/seeking-a-suitable-donor

Great collection! Ha that second to last track pulled me out of reality completely. Going for another listen after this.
The wave form of this track is very satisfying :)
Lovely melodies and soundscapes
Listening to “My New Shorts” album. Good stuff my friend.
...a song to be remembered for...
I hear ya, Buddy... but that guitar has incredible presence. (pyropool@earthlink.net)
I'm curious what would happen if you slowed this down with Paulstretch..

Another good one from Greg!
💕
Outstanding! Your vocals are so rich! And I agree with Greg... we all seem to be in a reflective mood of late. I really enjoyed this one.
i think this is going to be an earworm for the next many days indeed
as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed
Good advice! It seems we are both in a reflective mood lately. A solid song, great lyrics, excellent instrumentation and delivery.
Glad you're sharing more of your art. I haven't been able to listen in until just recently. Best of luck.
I know what it is like when things don't work out the way you planned a fine song! enjoyed it KC
May have been a while but this is another outstanding track!! Great feel and excellent vocals
Thanks, Jeff!!
Seriously interesting.
