I don't see myself in shiny mirrors
I don't see myself in sunny skies
And I won't see myself
Until I see myself again in Peggy's Eyes.
Once upon a time there was a reason for the rhyme
There was some silver in the dime . I remember
And…

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…
Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart
But, something just broke and I think it's my heart
G.
A bedside bomb with no alarm…
This one explains itself...for Eric.

Things could be much worse

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.

She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,

Well, this one speaks for itself if you listen carefully. You know who!
A somewhat jazzy song....
I played the keys, bass, guitars and did the vocals & mix
drums done in Addicted drums
I'm the king of the world
And all I do is tweet…
A band version of this song
KC - guitar, vocals & mix
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
They say that you are evil
They say that you are bad
They say you got me hooked
They say you drive…
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 love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one
That you decide to wear." Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train." And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail."
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

WiW! I have had
it for many years but it never left my desk side. It's been the guitar I reach for when I am working at my bedroom/office computer. Never even thought about recording with it.

Comments made by James Michael Taylor
This really creates a world of it's own...
I like how you fit your voice and sentiment into this barren acoustic landscape.
Love the tender lyric buried in the storm of sound.
It's like the instruments are playing footsie.
Iy's like a meditation...could loop indefinitely
...another sunny song. Great happy groove!
What a sunny song!
Love the rawness of the tracks and the mix. Just wish the vocal was out a bit more.

"I’m trying to put you behind me" Ha ha!
Great vocal.
Do we ever get past this?
Guitar sounds great!
Really gets the raw sadness. But by the time they tell you it's over it's most likely been over for some time...

So clean and clear. Love it.
Amazing tone. I'd love to hear this on True's system at TPBY Speakers.
Great groove. Perky & quirky.
