This song made me a professional songwriter when George Sluizer, the director of THE VANISHING, put it in the movie by that name.

He lived there with his love
He tumbled to the valley deep
When she gave him a shove
And when he hit the valley deep
It must…

Wow, is that a banjo? Great playing!
The music is actually cheerful, but the lyrics deal with a serious topic - and somehow it fits together and sounds just right.

This song might be better suited for a girl but I don't have a girl anymore.

Someone who's learned to take their time and live their poetry

No progress in the Congress
Corruption is their prowess
It's just a stinking mess
I think this does explain it
They could completely transformate it
If they only had a brain
Thanks JMT, LimboMan
TRAIL OF TEARS was not a metaphor. It was an American Holocaust. Michael Jeffrey helped me with this track.

On this song you sound even more like Chapin. Great song btw - lead vocals are too loud, but awesome job nonetheless. The backing vocals are brilliant. The whole song is brilliant!
Key - G
People had been requesting this song for years. I decided to write it.
It's the most requested song in Tarrant county
It's a song that I had never heard before
But I always try to sing the songs folks ask for
and that' for sure…
THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION - Capo @ 2 to sing

She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand…
A friend of mine sent me a poem and asked me to put music to it. I took the liberty to mangle a bit of the lyric.

Tracy posted a message which said, "If I could write a song about the way I feel right now, it would be a hit." So I grabbed my guitar and came up with this...
Geas poured some magic sauce on this one and opened up the song to a new level .....Thanks Geas

the innocence of a lie
the reason behind the why
the sigh of regret
at that moment of death

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...

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!!!

excellent lyrics .....a tragic tale well told....brilliant
Great combination's of sound..... love that backing vocal.........
Wow, is that a banjo? Great playing! The music is actually cheerful, but the lyrics deal with a serious topic - and somehow it fits together and sounds just right.
It took a while, but then it started to grab me. The lyric is great, as always. Unfortunately I don't understand every word in the slow part.
Beautiful songwriting and a most emotional performance. Another favorite, no doubt.
love it...all of it
Good one.
Everything I have listened to of yours I have enjoyed. This one didn't is right up there!
You have everything a good songwriter needs: A guitar, a voice, and a bunch of great stories to tell. Regards, Steffen
Solid job, as always, James! I really dig your singing. Regards, Steffen

You sound a bit like Harry Chapin, did you know that? And just to make that clear: I love Harry Chapin! :) Regards, Steffen
A wonderful song, James, and I love the harmony vocals. Regards, Steffen
This could well be a Jimmy Buffet song. Have I said that before? ;) Regards, Steffen
very cool as always JT
Great wordless melody folk-jazz thing going on here JMT. David Crosby could do no better.
I really am very impressed withn this short and sweet song. Been listening to several of your tracks. Excellent indeed.

Wish you would tell more about who you are and about this song. So beautiful.
Sooooo pretty.
ATTITUDE! Yes!
Soooo gritty. Like listening thru the wall to the club next door. Just before the whole place explodes!
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.
