KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
The Winnowing Wind
I feel the wind blow thru me
Oh, please don't let it undo me
Let it level and true me
The Wind. The Winnowing Wind
And here I stand, alone, against the wind,
And, who am I to think that I
Can stand alone against the…
THE ONLY THINGS

Great! It's like telling her that there's never a moment when she is not the center of focus.

I think of you very often even when it's not spoken the words are in my mind more than just a token or poem spoken out loud I'm proud to call you a friend who also writes wonderful songs and I often sing along my voice soft or strong always makes me feel real good and I should say it happens every time I think of you. On every guitar string is a note and there's a song at the end of any pencil you might pick up and write down on a piece of paper
Any song you write always fuels my imagination and makes me think and that's a wonderful gift you have Jim thanks nice work
THE ANGELS CRIED NO - capo @ 4 in Am
Am Em - He lived high up on the mountain top
He lived there with his love
He tumbled to the valley deep
F - When she gave him a shove
And, when he hit the valley deep
It must have broke his heart…
Absolutely powerfully beautiful and genius! Love the layered vocals and the lyrical flow

Thank you for letting me hear that!

Okay, I did not get that vibe but that makes sense.
Something I missed for many years was singing in a choir. Now that I have multitracking I don't miss it any more.

Where did this one come from? I think it demonstrates your range as a songwriter because most of your songs are personal experience and this is very different. Nice job. I like it.

The brighter candle knows the truth
In golden glow of brightest sun
And knows there’s no eternal youth
The brighter candle
So many, walking, go nowhere
On bikes and skates with silver hair

JUST A CAT
It looks like someone taped a firecracker to him and blew it off.
"Firecracker?"
He's just a cat. Just a cat. A raggedy old cat.
So why are we crying?
The world is on fire.
Light the fuse. It's a firecracker

I am Not going to download this one.
Not that he did not do a great job with the song....
But, because this is so sad, when you think about how some people actually do this!
I have kept cats off and on pretty much my whole life.
I find that they are highly intelligent souls, and can be very loving!
It reminds me of a story that I read in the paper, many years ago about a German
Shepard Dog they hobbled its' way out of the forest one day, and into someones'
yard. It had an arrow pierced through it!
People can be so sick

I really like this. I just wish you would mix your voice out a bit or include your lyrics. I want to know every word you are saying. It sounds so interesting.

There was a report recently from Credit Suisse that nearly half the world's wealth is in the hands of 1% of the population, and the wealth shared by the poorest 3.5bn is about the same as that shared by the richest 85 people. And it also said…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Nobody loves you
Like you…
This ne has been floating around the files for a while, now. Still not sure if this is a re-upload or if its elements have been so sampled into other projects that familiarity has bred disconnect. In either case, Enjoy!!!
Song inspired by listening to Nick Cave and reading all the bad news in the newspapers. Enjoy.
Lyrics and Music by yours truly, Nick Plagakis
Damn it’s cold, as I exit this road
Time is now to intoxicate the soul
Up high, private jets…

Leslie Young That one made me cry.
Leslie Young Wow. Beautiful but sad Me: It's about my brother, Joe. Died in an air plane crash, July 4, 1986. He was the pilot.

Robert White Excellent Song James Michael Taylor! Was that a song done for someone or relative that recently passed Away? Beautiful! 🤗
Belinda Stephens I love the live version, James. Beautiful.
Leslie Young Very nice.
Violet Lea Love you
LeAnna M Christian James Michael Taylor that is a snazzy moony tune 😉
Loved your song. Phillip Hennen
Daniel Payne Emery Miller enjoy! He has probably a thousand songs on that site.

Love all the weird sounds you are using...
I really like this. I just wish you would mix your voice out a bit or include your lyrics. I want to know every word you are saying. It sounds so interesting.
great melody
Happy jazz
I can see a couple dancing in the smoky little room...
Interesting bass track.
Smooth and cozy. All it needs is the tinkle of wine glasses and quiet conversation...
This really catches the smokey little jazz club sandwich shop atmosphere.
Very cool too...
Good point
Spacy and hypnotic.
Such sad realization...well said/sung.
This ought to get everyone out on the dance floor. Can't sit still...
The keys really swing.
Zappa meets James Brown.
Wish I could play piano like that.
So dancy! Almost Jethro Tull. Just add flute.
Very interesting details/description of your world "man w t silk tie..."
Heroic!
Can see it in my head with the skeletons of Devo on the surf boards.
