Is it crazy?
Is it survival?
Is desire to survive crazy?

Hey James Michael Taylor! Excellent Song and a beautiful Story! "There She Was" That is probably one of the longest songs and the story was so sad! You are a Singer and a Poet! Beautiful Voice! Thanks for Sharing! 🤗

The falling leaves, dead Everleys are pulling at my heart.

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.

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.

Time is now to intoxicate the soul

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.
