Whether what he said was true or not, it was cruel, insensitive slap and a prime example of "truth" best left unspoken. And then there is the great song that you wish you hadn't had to write.
I’m alive! But I’ve got too much data! Trying to figure out how this site works it’s been so long since of been here. Nice tune, I need to explore your other music!
THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
Refuge into the imagination:
Is it crazy?
Is it survival?
Is desire to survive crazy?

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment, I'm sure you know how nice it is to get any kind of feed back. Once I got two comments on a song in one week, a song called THERE SHE WAS. A long story song. 6 minutes. Never dreamed I could actually commit it to memory, but I was so motivated by the feedback, I DID learn it and I've been singing it ever since. So, thanks, again.

I love that you let the quirky idea it's based on never take over your personal/conversational idea, yet you keep that quirky idea alive the entire song. You have a knack for writing very descriptive songs with twists like that.

It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…

Me...Yes, but does the autism show?
Vicki...Not necessarily. But the talent for music and creative expression coupled with the line voice of the narrator yearning to connect with others is pretty tell-tale imho It’s a recurrent theme.

Not many other aspies have a handle on this too good. It would come down to sensory issues really. But if it’s not autism (Asperger’s syndrome) it’s probably something neurodivergent. And that could be ADHD (not always hyperactive presentation but more a neurology and the way you think) or bipolar (creatives) or something like sound synesthesia or dyslexia etc
This song tells about a guy I know named Gene.
GENE
Gene had a girlfriend
The band would play and they would dance
She was tall and Gene was tall
A lovely late romance
They'd smile and hold each other
They'd sit and share a drink
Holding…
If you don’t have Asperger’s syndrome or what is now known in the US as Autism Level 1 — I’ll eat my hat. It’s not to alarm or upset you, I just think we’re so like minded and you show so many traits. Your musical gift would then make you what’s called ‘twice exceptional.’ Look into it and see if it ‘vibes.’ Melbourne Vicki

"Great story and song. I didn’t listen to it all as I’m trying to get through more songs on the list, but what I did hear I liked and enjoyed reading the rest of the lyrics too. Thought some of the verse melody notes were a little obvious and I could see them being stretched slightly but that shows I was into it. Wish I could write song stories like that!"

I never met Jesse,

but I heard her pups yelping for
whiter they yelp for. She was strong

Lillian and Alvarado I could hear them

Michael Haines and Dickey Johnson, thought of you with this song by James Michael Taylor, "I Buy Guitars." Mary Guthrie
Cathy Maxwell Jesus, what an asshole. Actually, you are the only one NOT an asshole in that coversation, including the subjects of said conversation!
Robert White I sang along with this James Michael Taylor! Every Verse was Heart Felt! Easy Song and Words to Follow! Thank You for Sharing! Be Safe! From One Musician to Another! 🤗
Jeff Prince At least you squeezed a good song out of the gut punch.
Ashley VanArsdel I know the feeling. It's almost like people think it's funny or something. I'm sorry.
Shawnee Smith Ray What a hateful, miserable person that big mouth is
Lee Snaples That sounds like somebody who has their own issues.
Lane Beauvais Whether what he said was true or not, it was cruel, insensitive slap and a prime example of "truth" best left unspoken. And then there is the great song that you wish you hadn't had to write.
