I like it - are you performing it live or is this not mastered? Using an online mastering service shouldn't be too expensive to improve the quality - it's a great song, it's hard to hear it, though.
Matt Ferrara doesn't get enough love around here. He's a brilliant arranger and lyricist and it's rare, if ever, that someone covers one of his songs. So I set out to correct that. As usual, it's faster than the original because, well, it's…

Boy oh Boy.... Have I ever missed playing live with these two wonderful guys!!!! Recorded last week in my front yard with Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren. An original tune I wrote from the times before the pandemic, but all the sweeter to be able…

"Fireflies." has a stellar intro, and then you woot he listener in with your crooning and compelling vocals. I have always loved the topic of fireflies and your hook about chsing fireflies in the htickets of two hearts is Phenomenal. Lots of nostalgia in this one, especiually for the girl next door who played a game with me, a kiss for every firefly i caught for her. But man those bugs were elusive as hell. But when I got a few, I was enthralled by her gentle thank you on my lips. Matthew Blowers III
SKINNY GIRLS
Capo @ 3 in G
...and then he said,
I like skinny girls
Toothy girls
Flat chested girls
I like girls with Adam's apples
A mouth full of titty
And a hand full of ass...
A girl with a six pack
is my kind of...
And then…
Now "Skinny Girls.' is a riotus collection of just plain fun and some great humor, I was so dissappointed when the track just cut out. But then I unbderstood you were giving folks just a taste. I was actually starting to visualize all the descriptive bean pole girls you were listing. A great bar song for sure, and I can see all the slightly inebriated guys rethinking and checking out all the skinny girls nursing their beers. LOL Matthew Blowers III
CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…

I am really liking your song on California, I have a special love for that state. You captured all the reaons I miss it, with your superb storytelling in lyrics and with the smooth harmonies and extremely well played music. It has a catchy beat, and I listened to the very last note.
Set The Eden Camera on the phone
rose glass and shooting stars
show to the world the things we’ve grown
among the weeds and paving stones
flourishing in five bars
But in the garden now the Golden glow is low
the evening air is so soft around my skin
I drape my sweet imperfect self across a canvas chair
and swing the rocks around a crystal pool of gin
mark well my words the woods have wild birds among the trees
and the sky it is a feast of blue cheese and strawberries
We’re in a media society
rose glass and shooting stars
scripts and choreography
this is your geography
false gods and avatars
But in the garden now the golden glow is low
the evening air is so soft around my skin
I drape my sweet imperfect self across a canvas chair
and swing the rocks around a crystal pool of gin
mark well my words the woods have wild birds among the trees
and the sky it is a feast of blue cheese and strawberries
Its like mirror-polished cyberspace
rose glass and shooting stars
filter out the naked face
not a pixel out of place
airbrush the battle scars
But in the garden now the golden glow is low
the evening air is so soft around my skin
I drape my sweet imperfect self across a canvas chair
and swing the rocks around a crystal pool of gin
mark well my words the woods have wild birds among the trees
and the sky it is a feast of blue cheese and strawberries

great -- I Like this
nice
This is great! I’m pretty sure my recording of Wilsun’s entire album last year was shorter than this song. 😂

This is AWESOME
How did a week go by without noticing that this happened! This sounds fantastic!
Sounds great Tim!
Wow, I’m honored and really love the Cure vibes you brought into the outro!
Love this!
Holy. Crap. This sounds epic!
This sounds like an 80s metal power ballad, and I mean that in all the best possible ways.
I’m laughing out loud again! That was fun singing your great song, all 3 of us in the same room again after 15 months.
