I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…

With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…

Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.

Now let me see .... stress ... panic ... ooh that sounds good, I had them all, but one of the best experiences
I have ever had. Cheers to the next one. ( And yes I'm on the Wine )

Yeah I know, trying to kill one of my favourite songs is madness, but the story is ... my daughter was getting lonely in her flat so she got herself a friend, Roscoe the Pug, could've tried to write one, but came in my head. I'll take the flack…
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…
After lots of chirpy, upbeat stuff coming from me and Jip, here's some misery - oh yes, and some rapping - oh! and a little bit of swearing! Well, there wasn't much else I could do with it.
Enjoy, as much as you can, and I'll get back to…
Determination perseveres leaving "misery" behind.
Oh Oh . . . . Is the optimist showing through?
Good song out of what sounds like a painful situation.
Many thanks to Greg Connor for helping me with this track...I have been playing this Lindsey Buckingham / Fleetwood Mac song for a while, but could never sing it...so I recorded the acoustic guitar and sent it to Greg and he added outstanding…

What is the Earth without the wind
To turn the soil
To let the water in
When it comes
At the moment of the rain
Those cracks the wind swept
Now left to drink the whole sky in
Till its bubble rise a top on…
Don't Be Frightened
Don't Be Scared
Think of all those times we shared.
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
From the window, a view
Of a young me and you
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
I heard a rumour in…
Guilty Roses
Three dollars at the drug store
For a rose as real as life
Can't pass the display
I want to take one to my wife
But she's one suspicious lady
A rose herself you see
"I'm not that complicate."
That's what she said to me…
This one got my attention. I especially like the line about the yellow M&Ms.
I'm not sure if an award or therapy is the appropriate response. Maybe that 's why it got my attention.
Now I'm pressing play again, so, here we go . . . . even better the second time.
*You have originality in spades here my friend !!!*
I was going through my song ideas folder and stumbled across this lyric that I wrote ages ago... so long ago I have no clue what inspired it. Certainly long before I ever thought up my "Banjo-centric" schtick. But this is a tune that needs a banjo…
Very Creative!
I'm trying to think back . . . I think this the first song on the subject that I have heard.
I like your singing styles and harmonica too.
Plenty of boogie here, oh yeah!
I took this bus trip from Forth Worth, Texas to Wheeling, West Virginia and on the way home I jumped off in Cincinnati and bought a ticket to Nashville... Lots of stuff happen when you are on a bus and in bus stations for over 60 hours.
Here…
A revamp of an old song. I seem to remember writing the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, those were the days. Must admit had to change the Key, couldn't reach the notes in the original Key. Anyway, played in Open G with capo on first fret…
Another one from Jip and LJ. Didn't realise how 'Teletubby' it was until it was done!
Baby
Can't you see I'm running from you
trying to get away from you so
you can't do your usual trick and
mesmerise me
Maybe
You already had it in your…
We've suspected for a long time, but now you've come right out and said it.
There is not a lot of inhibition in this song. Just a good dose of *"That's The Way It Is"*
I love it!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Think I'll hang up my guitar now Greg , that has got to be the best song I've heard from you, Faultless mate, Faultless .....

Great song. Really like the harmony in the middle
Are you dreaming of up north?... this is a real keeper. I love your lyrics as always and the harmonica is the perfect touch!!
Great lyrics, love the chorus...another beautiful song!!
Hey I missed this first time mighty fine
Oh this is mighty fine. I don't often pay attention to lyrics on early listens unless something jumps out and grabs me... I'm not sure what did here, but something did. Love the lyrics. Cool guitar and harmonica too, but the song is just peachy.
Really lovely song. I'd favourite it twice if I could!

Wow these people are great to drink with but I left before the clean up . Hope they ask me back
Love the loaping feeling and that bass line.
Now let me see .... stress ... panic ... ooh that sounds good, I had them all, but one of the best experiences I have ever had. Cheers to the next one. ( And yes I'm on the Wine )

The things we do for family.
Great voice! Nice tight band too.
Good song. Nice treat this morning. I like the recorder, and the laughter.
Determination perseveres leaving "misery" behind. Oh Oh . . . . Is the optimist showing through? Good song out of what sounds like a painful situation.
Yes, the acoustic guitar and lead break are fantastic!
Quite Pretty. I like the classical guitar accompaniment.
Very refreshing and upbeat.
Starts out *GREAT* and just keeps building

Great swing rhythms. Excellent song! I like the slide

You got me laughing out loud this morning James! Nothing like a good bus trip song to bring out the gritty side of life.
I just found this. What instrument are you playing? I love the bending notes. Well done Igor.
Nice video. Your scenery looks a lot like here in Minnesota.
B E A U T I F U L
Beautiful, rich, and engaging!
I keep resisting, but there is something about a ukulele that just grabs me. Another stellar vocal track lady!
Very melodic. I got out the headphones on this one. Well done Roger!
U N I Q U E . . . And fun!
