Sara DeMore James Michael Taylor very very sad video, very good song. First verse and last lines are my favorites.

Dee Hill James Michael Taylor I love this

Lane Beauvais Definitely one of my favorite songs from a great album!

Roberta Hargrove Beautiful.

Jeff Prince Love these lyrics, especially the line about a lump beneath her rug.

David Young I've always liked this one!

Heartfelt story, I like your energy in this one - Kat Angel

Remember that song, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME ANY MORE? You wrote. "What a hateful, miserable person that big mouth is." Well, Big Mouth, yes, and oblivious, but he's one among us and non of us think of him as hateful. People say things in a flash, not having a clue to how it's going to land.

Love it ❤️

My Rebecca married a buddy who was killed in a car wreck. Had a beautiful daughter who died in her teens. Such sadness I have lost touch with her. She and I met ay Abilene Christian College in 1964. One day we met at a park and she read THE LITTLE PRINCE to me.

Becky Byrd Spicer That’s a sweet song, vocals and strings.

Very interesting. I was there with my girlfriend Rebecca Portillo. Your song made that trip extra special. She lived in Las Cruces NM and I lived in Columbia, Mo attending UMC. We eventually went out separate ways. So your song turned out to be prophetic. Thank you for using your gift of music and sharing it. Phil Estes

Any chance you played in a bar in El Paso August 1978? That’s where I heard “I live with Rebecca.” Bought an album there with this song, actually because of this song. Peace - Phil Estes

Robert White Beautiful Song James Michael Taylor! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

Kat Angel James Michael Taylor Delightful!

Kat Angel Good wake up song. I can see the teacher playing this song for the kids at the start of their school day and they all sing along.

Cathy Maxwell · 1:51 that's a great HAPPY song!!!

Marcie Brooks Oh, I LOVE this! The fact that your camera placement, while swaying and playing, made me feel like I was actually swinging to the song. GENIUS!

Laurie Callinan James Michael Taylor thats great… we are alone till we share

What a poignant song, Jim! It captures so well the joy many of us had in simple pleasures like swinging--and how our grandchildren are lured at very early ages to the artificial razz-ma-tazz of cell phone games. I remember what joy my youngest son had, swinging on the tire swing we hung up in one of our backyard trees so many years ago. He'd spend hours, climbing onto the nearby picnic table (seated on the tire), jumping off, and letting the tire sway and spin. I feel sad that my grandson didn't get that kind of kinesthetic experience and all the pleasure it could bring.

LIKE THIS.

Sounds like your version of Helter Skelter...

Real cause for the blues.

Sounds like someone is having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Mom taught me to put wax paper over a comb.

Cool song...

I have a song in the movie THE VANISHING. That movie starred Jeff Bridges and Keefer Southerland. I did all the music in a movie called RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. A film maker in Austin is finishing a short movie with about nine of my songs in it. Another Dallas film makes used me as an actor in a film recently and used a piece of mine as the theme song for that actor. It all adds up...to....something. Except for the Vanishing and Dark Blood there is no money.

Oh, that! I was nominated for Best Texas Music when my music isn't about Texas at all. It's all silly. It's all about the young musicians in town. They have a big blow out at the awards shin dig and everybody has fun but nobody takes it seriously about who is really the best in town. That movie is called DARK BLOOD, finally to be finished by the director, George Sluizer. The movie was started in 1993 and production ceased when River Phoenix died of an overdose. Now it is being finished with narration filling in the unshot scenes. I suspect it will get a lot of attention because if it being River's last film and the circumstances.

Greg, I don't know about that contest. I DID get a song in an upcoming movie recently so that is a lot like winning a contest.

You songs are like slide shows... Little movies.

...sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes, "No."

"...tin cup in a water pail..." Been there. Your song is full of very clear pictures. Like it.

Nice. I can hear the Beatles singing this.

Great energy. Great story.

I like it but I want to hear your words...

Very nice..."another place and another time..."

I second what Bethan said, "Sweet."

I understand. I have the same problem with a lot of old material.

Mix your voice so we can hear your lyric or include the lyric in the "about" section. I want to understand what you are saying.

Wish the voice wasn't so buried in the mix... Sounds real good.

Like it...glad you dug it back out. Sometimes we are too close to something when we first do it.
