Nice

Lazarus Knight James Michael Taylor I'm not altogether sure what Instagram is, but "Tonight I Said Goodbye to Rose" is my favorite from Namedropper.

That’s a terrific tune, James! Good lyrics, playing, and vocals. I enjoyed that. It actually helped relax me. I’m so glad you sold it! Sweet song. I always like your music. It’s good you’re making some income with it. You deserve that! - Doreen Peri

I name all my new guitars Britney, cause *Oops I Did it Again*! Great song, man!

Love that song my friend - Chris Harper

Jere Reiser Nice meditation James

Do we have time to get a group of Xmas Carolers together.

Very good!

Love that!

Got to be one of my may favorites you have shared!!! Love love love this one. First the rareified topic... loving the night time, the dark, what it does for me... as i said, "...u begin right there in the pitch dark of ur room to face the blooming moon knowing...u r of the darkness... a ghost haunting your own room & u move with delight that u are a wraith an invisible scrap of shadow..." echos your more succinct, "Something about the night that makes me feel aware,,. All my inner voices speaking loud and clear" Gwen Henry

We've all heard too much and seen too much ... too much of many things. Theo Carracino haha ... i love that ending.

Jim Lamb Very well written, James Michael, great lyrics and story!!

Reads like a poem and sounds like a song. Jeff Prince

Listening to “My New Shorts” album. Good stuff my friend.

"Plays out like a movie for me. Nice storytelling 👌" Vicki 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. Even your social justice stance of anti-war. The outsider. The outlier. High intelligence and love of literature… Enter Vicki-Lee Peaceful nature Enter Vicki-Lee Vicki-Lee Cayrouse 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

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

Rafi Arkin said, "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 just listened to this again (good thing about home office: you can listen to music all day long, if you want). Definitely one of my favorites of yours.

Rosemarie Kempton said, "This is a song I could happily listen to over and over again. Great music and lyrics!"

Lazarus Knight Absolutely one of your best.

Kat Angel Absolutely beautiful!

Roberta Hargrove Bitter sweet! I love this!

I sent that link to my bff Misty. Remember her? This was her response: I love the juxtaposition of the absurdity of the subject to the poignancy of the underlying message. Spoken like an English teacher. Michael Soto

Terry Rasor James Michael Taylor btw love that tune my friend!

Linder Bassy Wow I love the song

Patty Brunson That is a great song.

Nola Lloyd Griffiths Wolley I love your story telling singing style. Takes me back to my childhood. Love it

Nola Lloyd Griffiths Wolley Very much enjoyed

Naad Kaur Khalsa James Michael Taylor oooo...shadows and regret...I am happy to say I haven't much regret...a lot of deep sorrow...pocketed in loss...shock that is oh so slow to wear off

So, this friend listens to The Couch and immediately tells me I MUST mention the imaginary friends behind the couch. That "hair" is gookie. It didn't occur to her that if I mentioned all the things listeners thought of when they listened to the song, we would still be singing...

Robert Dwain Elliott I met a man named Michael today, Standing beside a hallway, With a cool coat and wearing a throng, For some $$$ he’ll sing you a song. (He was not born in Texas, he just came here for a while).He did run over a chicken on the road once… Feathers in the Wind.

Grant Morrison Thanks for making me cry dude lol

Lee, I just dialed up TROJAN. By the time I read the 1st four lines I was crying.. Maybe, after all these years it a lot deeper than back when I wrote it.

Kat Angel Delightful

Marian Brackney My absolute favorite… 😭

Scarlett Maneikis James Michael Taylor love the lyrics. Each guitar has a story.

Roland Brown My friend, JT. My favorite song this year! Eat your heart out Guy Clark. John Stetson Michael James Ginger Brown Gayle Brown Rick Dodson Donna Pelkey Bailey Bill Nash

I love the song. But change the hair and pins line to” my imaginary friends or images of my imaginary friends. Donna The hair and pins line may be the truth but too gross. Donna Donna Everete Keep it imagery

Kat Angel PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the song, love you singing it just to me (in my imagination)
