This was the first time I ever tried doing a Christmas song (December 2008), so I figured I would do one in an older style, with psychedelic tinges. I added some Dickensesque material to the front, complete with old radio show style sound effects…
From 2011... If the Beatles did a Christmas song. I decided to have some fun with the intro, sort of a 1940's sound and then...off we go! Then some Christmas psychedelia at the end. Ear candy, I suppose. ;)
got me doing a funny dance in my head I normally wouldn't be caught dead doing but I'm trying to get the attention of some hot little thing that makes me wanna sing of soul letting her know I am the solution. No really man this rocks. I'm inspired.

Is the Holiday Challenge on this year? Couldn't see anything about it online but I did one anyway (although mine's probably not eligible as I think it'll still be in copyright).

A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)
A song about my cat, who like many cats can be a total pain in the ass. All things described in this song are true.
Recorded to tape for the RPM Challenge 2019, remastered Oct 2019.
This song was inspired for all of us who've cycled through a relationship or two.... My dear friends Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren of the infamous MN Coffee Table helped bring it to life with Greg on Banjo and Mark on Lead Guitar. Both of them…
I know why you love The Starry Night
I know why you weren't all right
I know why you couldn't stay
I know why you're here today
I know why you couldn't see
I know why, 'cuz you were me
I know why you loved to paint in blue
I know why…
My Pepere was born before the great war
To God-fearing parents in Maine
Where the simplest of rules taught in Catholic schools
Was don't use the Lord's name in vain
Every day in that school, he'd adhere to that rule
But a loophole he often…
Walking in your footsteps
Can't see the world around me
Just a pace behind
I might as well be blind
Standing in the darkness
Nothing left to guide me
No footing I can find
The stairs, they start to wind
I might as well be blind
The…
O my brother
Where did you go?
Down to the river
To beg for your soul?
Did anyone see you?
Did you go there alone?
What did you offer
For one of their stones?
O my brother
Is there any way out?
Of the deal they offered?
Did they leave…
O my brother
Where did you go?
Down to the river
To beg for your soul?
Did anyone see you?
Did you go there alone?
What did you offer
For one of their stones?
O my brother
Is there any way out?
Of the deal they offered?
Did they leave…
I don't know
Where it comes from
Or where it goes
Just wait until it shows
You can't hold it
Too long
Then it's gone
The air off the water
The fire in your soul
A lucky man's daughter
Come in from the cold
I keep my heart open…
She stands alone in my mind
She'll make it home in her own time
I've always known that she's not mine
She gets closer to the line
Then turns and walks away
Breaks out the wine
Don't know how she survived another day
Put the phone down
Shut the cable and the lights
We're alone now
Step with me into the night
I found the candles
It really wasn't all that hard
Kick off your sandals
Tonight we dine under the stars
Don't let the moments slip away
They…
Maybe I shouldn't tell you what I was thinking
The first time I saw that sad smile in your eyes
I couldn't look away, and I don't recall blinking
It might've been better if we'd just said simple goodbyes
I've been down this road before once…
So you wanted your freedom
What from the past were you willing to take?
I'm sure you had your reasons
Too many promises you swore you'd never break
The world that you know is not coming back
Maybe it's time you start burning the tracks…
Cut-off jeans, your eyes shining in the sun
You were looking for a good time, I was looking for "The One"
Crazy dreams, when hours never seemed too late
You believed in lucky breaks and I believed in fate
I thought the only love was true…
If I just slip the car in drive
I'll meet you on the other side
Or maybe I could turn back time
And we could both pretend to fly
Losing feeling inside out
No sense kneeling, no such doubt
Failed at saving, nothing lasts
Just repaving…
Great arrangements and scoring on this one, a perfect closing track. Congratulations on an exceptionally well written, performed, and recorded album. I love it.

LOVE the ending. This sounds great.
Oh. Wow. Just. Wow.
Brilliant and beautiful!
You sound great, Colleen! Great tune, love the feel and atmosphere, plus, the hook is fantastic.
I love the drone notes...all of it actually.
I love this song.
Whoa, this guitar work sounds like a 12-string, but I think it's just the way you did the various parts. Awesome!
One man, one guitar. Nothing else is needed when your name is Keith Landry.
That mid-section! Awesome change!
Brilliant, Keith.
Great song, Keith. I really like the various parts overlaying each other. Killer performance...
I like how this has an almost bluesy feel to it, and how warm it sounds. Another great song, Keith.
Loving the left-right gtr work!
Great song, Keith. One man, one guitar...all that is needed.
Another great song with cool counterpoint and tonal colors. Killer, Keith, killer...
Great song, love the lyrics.
Great song, Keith, I love the structure and counterpoint you used here.
Great arrangements and scoring on this one, a perfect closing track. Congratulations on an exceptionally well written, performed, and recorded album. I love it.
Wow, I feel like I am back in 1981. So good!
Every song on this record is stunning.
