Another gem. You got me laughing.
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure.
I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )

If I remember it correctly, this track is more poignant sounding than the previous version.
I liked the way you softened the vocal for the,"We blame ourselves....." and I still love the chorus.
Nice intro and outro too.

I sort of slowed down a bit weekend before last and listened to and enjoyed “My New Shorts”. On first listen I was particularly struck by Room at the End of the Hall (love that one!), Fireflies (thoughtful), Cattails and Butterflies, Broken Cookies and Day Old Bread, and Everyone I Need to Talk To. Well done!

MOTHER'S EYES

This one is really nice! I downloaded it so I can listen a lot more. The guitar part fits perfectly. Your voice is so distinctive -- Leslie was playing the song on her phone and I recognized your voice instantly. (I think it was the first note you sang that gave it away!) You are amazingly talented and I continue to be impressed by your knack for writing thoughtful lyrics and for your incredible output of great songs.

Hey James Michael Taylor! Excellent Song and a beautiful Story! "There She Was" That is probably one of the longest songs and the story was so sad! You are a Singer and a Poet! Beautiful Voice! Thanks for Sharing! 🤗

I just got a new Vespa, riding on it since yesterday, jo! This Drive fits O.K. :-)
Yeah! One of your long, straight roads, top down, sun shining!
Super native american flavoured track. Sounds good through the headphones especially.
Great track mate.
That's pretty darn good, especially for the situation you described. It's really fun that you caught it on tape.
Another gem. You got me laughing. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure. I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )
Oh how we love to add to our troubles.
I like this song very much. IMHO it's your best song from this album. Well done. ER
Well, they are all good Im sure , But this one is straight across. I like the clearity. More straight on please
Damn, James you really sound like nile young
A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.
A amazing bit of information to share with a broad spectrum of the populous

very informative James, I'm so happy my fat ass can be blamed on somebody else
