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

A bedside bomb with no alarm…
This one explains itself...for Eric.

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.

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.

Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox

While I was going through my old stuff I found this forgotten tune. I think it was the first or second collab I've ever done with Billy Playle. We met at a long gone collaboration site called OMF (OpenMusicFactory, run by Alessandro da Lisca…
"fALLingG" is oPen cOncePt's newest original track filled with captivating beats & vocal layers that reel you in & keep you groovin'. The entire song was created using ONLY vocals & beatbox.
Enjoy our latest journey - fALLinG!
My recent fascination / obsession with the Devoto-era Buzzcocks is over. Here's an early Magazine song.
Was going to be done unplugged style - the guitar parts were originally guide parts to be replaced with acoustic parts. I got to like them…
Today I am saddened by a senseless attack on 27 innocent people who will now be missed by all those who knew them. When words can't explain the emotions, sometimes music can. Here is a song in memory of all those involved with the Sandy Hook Massacre…

Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.
Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
This really sets the ideas lose in my mind. Love the bass tempo setter...
It's like light reflected in falling water...very nice and soothing.
Love the voices. Is that Lady Jane singing ythe lead?
Nice.
Very nice. Like the story and the harmonies. This is something that could get you invited to schools to share with the kids.
Beautiful...
Will be fine for your children too. Very sweet. Also, nice to hear your talking voice.
Cool song. Really like the bass groove.
Very nice. Fine vocal.
Cool.
Really dig this.
Like this very much. Can hear many voices added to it. Build with choir and drums and strings.
Nice song. Very lonely sound. What's that that sounds like an auto harp? Very clean guitar sound. Crystal clear production.
Andrew, are you on facebook? My email address is Jamesmichaeltaylor@jamesmichaeltaylor.com I have posted your Can't Imagine song on my Facebook page.
Like this. Sounds like a storm brewing in wind chimes.
Very pensive. Peaceful. Soothing with a touch of sadness. Like it a lot.
Like the subtle voices...
Really like this.
