I'm only writing on this last one, but I enjoyed every one of these new ones. Your harmonies are always interesting & spot on! Thanks for putting these out! I'm glad you are ok.

Short but very sweet. I love these short ones with the almost throw-away lyrics that are SO full of meaning to the listener.

Perfect!!!!!! This captures our collective experience completely!!!

Great imagery! Who would have thought a year ago that we would have a summer like this?

Mrs R has pointed out that she knows of at least two other Londons... and that it might not be obvious I mean London UK!

Like it. Love this: "stage is dusty / my strings are getting rusty". We had to look up corn hole, though, doesn't get played a lot in South London...

i think it's time for a knap

I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.

And a new verse! I listened to all three versions again - this is the one (which is probably a good thing, as it's the latest!!)

Guest (47.189.109.204) said Thursday I love that you don't hold back and anything goes. I never know what's going to jump out of that brain of yours! Love the arrangement, the harmonies and nature! Fun and short. I think I could have gone a little longer, but I'll just play it, awgain or put it on a loop if it will let me!! Write on!!! Thanks for the share!! Connie

You're not done with this one. I love the chorus. Did you just write this one?

Happy sad....good song...might go around singing this one. Thanks!!

🙂

You know that sound we all do when we've had a big day and worked/played really hard? Ahhhhhhhmmmm...that one...That's how I felt listening to this song. Thanks, James for continuing down the rabbit hole. So many places to go...so many.....plac....es....to...ahhhhhhmmm..... ;)

Beautiful.

Andrew Russe (86.155.32.98) said Thursday Short but very sweet... These short ones encourage me to add all sorts of extra meaning myself as I'm listening. That's kinda what happens when we listen to songs anyway - no matter how much the lyrics are designed to lead us to certain conclusions or "points of view"... a song never really says what the songwriter thinks it says ... but these short ones encourage this "listener completes the song" process even more, they let my mind run free ... love it.

Great harmonies!

If I lived near you I would want to be part of this tribe.

Florencia Di Concilio It’s not the first time someone writes me a song, though it is the very first time I actually like it. I love the song, to tell you the truth! You’re awesome James Michael Taylor! You made my day. ❤️

Laurie Callinan - Its very beautiful. Love the line about the garbage trying to sleep.

Connie Pittman Ramsey Visually sorrowful and heartfelt.... Thank you James, once again, for going where most dare not go

First, the guitar sound is amazing. This friendly little project is is special in so many ways.

You asked me who Jack Hardy was...He was a friend of mine, now gone. Beloved by many. This was a bit of teasing him, imitating how he sang. He and I shared a mutual respect. The first time I met him I was sitting under an awning at the Kerrville Folk Festival and he pulled up a chair and said, "Sing me a song." We were buddies from then on. The day he would arrive at Kerrville was always joyfully anticipated, not just because he made such great spigot. Here is a link to more about him:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hardy_(singer-songwriter)

That bass is awesome! Great build!

This is beautiful.

Wonderful, James. Thank you for singing the songs in your heart. This world needs them.Summer Loraine Russell

Mighty powerful feelings of aloneness and independence, songs and songwriting/singing a perfect fit! Keith Haas

This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk...

This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways. Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was...your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

"The years can kill your spirit. The years you can’t explain The years that simply melt away... like mascara in the rain." Damn... what great words. JMT words. Words that paint a picture... on the canvas of my spirit. ` Jon McCabe

Crisp and crystal clear!

Perfect for your voice. "aging Silverado..." "so, I don't say a word, my order is heard."

Love your voice on this. Like 50s American pop song.

So clean! Really rocks. Sounds like your first language is American English.

Great production! Is that all you playing everything?
