Little did I know...
If you left me I wouldn't wanna talk
I'd put your sandals by the curb and I'd take a little walk
I'd buy a roll of paper towels and I'd soak up every tear
Hang it on the clothes line. Just watch them disappear
If…
I never met Jesse,
but I heard her howl in the night,
but I heard her pups yelping for
whiter they yelp for. She was strong
and she was there. And in the Texas
night out on the prairie between
Lillian and Alvarado I could hear them
singing…
key of C - no capo
We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody
I kissed somebody…
I was told that even tho she left me after 28 years it doesn't negate the idea.
There’s a place in my mind where your face had a home
Long before you came into my life
Before you were a known
There’s a note in my song that I knew fit somewhere…
400 BULLETS
400 guns. 400 bullets.
400 babies in the grave.
You got your New Pearl Harbor
Now it’s time for a new Passover.
400 guns
400 guns. 400 bullets.
400 babies in the grave.
Buy your $10,000 dog
One bad steak and he’s a…

Ra Byn did everything but rhythm guitar.
He must have been about 12.

Well, you say that you're lonely
I see that you are
Tell me, where have you been
Life ain't no lay pen
Yeah, you call it a…

We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.
Empty Bottles…
I did this about 2 years ago and only found it the other day.
I think it sounds like something Robbie Williams would sing - and not really my style or cup of tea. It's a bit anthemic "come on and join in" (no thanks). Add to that I my singing…
This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Your wagon-train
Is out of danger
And of course you never lie

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth

Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.

It’s a small town. Woodlake, California. East side of the San Joaquin Valley. 14 miles from where all those “Lindsey” olives you see on your grocery store shelves come from. The Woodlake Echo, says, “In the foothills of the Sequoias”.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
I like that. Yeah, not funny how things turn out!
Well, I have been trying to make a comment on Shoes but it won't let me. Odd! "Shoes" is certainly thought provoking.
Oh this is lovely.
Love the lyrics. I think they get better and better.
Well I'm sure it had nothing to do with this track. It's really cool.
Love the intimate atmosphere. Gorgeous melody and featured guitar.
Cute key for you JM! Querky little track!
I think every word is true. Love the raw backing and the bluesy feel.
I love the story here and the feel good factor! Brilliantly performed JM!
Excellent. Very clever.
Love the backing vocals on this. Very nice. ER
I like this. I thought like this as a teenager. There are a number of girls in high school who never knew I had a "thing" for them. Oh, well. ER
This idea is eternal, my friend. This is - the hope; this is - the bright path. Even after 28 years, even after ...
Call Neil! He'd like this one.
Kick A$$!
Really!
Ha, rock on! Nice up-tempo bit of fun JM. Love the backing vocals with a 40's feel.
Great vox there Peggy! My, this is my lucky morning! What a fab song and I love the music too.
Nice one mate toe tapping.
Nice guitar on this one, good tone.
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Love it. So relaxing.
Love the loaping feeling and that bass line.
From snowstorm into long tunnel...
GREAT Sound. Guitar/bass/voice. Crystal clear. Perfect with the lyric.
Sounds like a swarm of keyboards hovering overhead...
Sometimes we need to be reminded.
We, in our depiction of that night in the old West would have said, "...a hot cup of coffee."
"And Blazey’s left her homework on the trainEven though they’re thirsty They don’t stop to get a drink..." forever lines...
It's like you are channeling Bowie from a slightly different planet.
I have had similar response to Bjork and Kate Bush lately...
Love the way you stretch and twist the chords.
Sounds like you've been thru some shit since last we met...
Precision! Restraint! The clarity and deliberateness of this production leaves me grasping for words. It's like you created it within a straight jacket.
Your voice is crystal clear.
This makes me cry...and I haven't listened to the music yet.
WoW! That is LUSH! Makes me think of Brahms.
Patrick Oliver this is fun! i love your love of nature!!! you sound a bit like Neil Young too!!
Jim Farmer JMT...I love this song. Great recording and beautiful harmony.
Too funny to cry. Too sad to laugh.
Totally "SPRINGTIME" ringing out in the music...
