THE LEAP
Well, a man took a walk down a trail with his buddies. Everybody came along.
And they came to a cravis with a pumas at the bottom and he was singing this song
"Well, you can go back or you can leap forward, or you can leave it up…
Same old story.
Something just broke and I think it's my heart.
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart.
Mighta been a meteor that tore it apart
Something just broke and I think it's my heart.
Something just broke and I think it's my heart…
You look out the window and the creek is swelling. Slowly crossing the lawn and heading up the driveway.... Time to get the lawnmower to higher ground.
TODAY IT’S GONNA RAIN - Key C

People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day

Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…
Wizard...like your description of the song CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT. I wouldn't tell that to the lady that sang it but I find it charming and your comment apt.
This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record…
This was my very first attempt at recording , done on two tracks , me picking and vox , AK rhythm , then me adding a harmony vocal , a bit basic but a Traffic song i've allways loved
Your mics are doing what they need to do: clear vocal and all words understandable. Good clean rendering of your song. I like your voice and your song. Heart science isn't rocket science.
Gotta be some Dylan in your background. Reminds me of some of the songs on his John Wesley Hardin album.
Thanks for your comment on I WONDER. I have redone it since you listened to it. I have to post things and listen to them to find out what I need to do the finish them. j mt
the sheriff's back in town
that o' hired hand of dread
cleanin' up the channels
knockin' down the webs
his lights, they are a flashin'
stopped me in my tracks alone
his hand on rein and bridle says
this freedom's gotta go
he said it…

about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
First song of 2011 . . .
LYRICS:
She has a disease
Never learned to please anyone
else other than herself
Fuck the world and give em hell
She's down on her knees
Swaying in the breeze and when she
leans that way I go along
Bending…
Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .

UPDATED AUDIO 1-20-12
LYRICS:
Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…
People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
love the message here
love your wit and your writing skills - both lyrically and musically - you put me in mind of John Prine a bit.
this put me in mind of Bo Didly a bit
a fun piece
very interesting - different - a little wacky - but I like it!
good song all around - well crafted!
I can relate to the "about" description :) Sweet tune, love the backing vox a lot!
This is classic! Very cool. "Time is meddlesome and cruel" Love that!
Good stuff James!
Good song! I like the talky bits and the echo vocals.
Hope your heads above water my friend, great tune!
I really dig that line: I'm a loner can't take me homer man, this reminds me of Neil Young. great sh*t!
interesting.
this is gorgeous stuff. is this original?
oh yeah. nice stuff JMT!
Great track mate very cool. And thank you for your recent kind comment. This is really good mate.

Ah, the master story teller. Lovely stuff and I enjoyed the waltz too.

"Looking in her eyes is like looking in a mirror..." cool line.
I like this every time I listen to it and I listen to it about once a week.
I can see myself walking down a dirt road just enjoying the wildflowers and dodging grasshoppers as I hum this one to myself.
I'd like to see the video to this one.
Cool. You got me to singing along.
Really like the bass sound. The phasie feel.
Wizard...like your description of the song CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT. I wouldn't tell that to the lady that sang it but I find it charming and your comment apt.
Immediately drawn by the vocal sound on this. So full and resonant. Still can understand the lyric. Like the first person thing you do.
You've got your machinery working well. Like your version of this old song.
Your mics are doing what they need to do: clear vocal and all words understandable. Good clean rendering of your song. I like your voice and your song. Heart science isn't rocket science.

Doin the Neil Young thing...cool...
Capo at second fret...Am.... I'm sitting here playing along with you.
Love your picking on this and the beautiful old song.
You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
Very nice song. I like your voices.
Crossing Guns and Roses and The Beatles...great mix and harmonies. Like the elongated beat.
You rock too...
Rockin'...makes me want to boogie...
I think the world changed on that day. This is very evocative. This piece could be called Alone Tones. PS...where did the name AloneTone come from?
