"Fireflies." has a stellar intro, and then you woot he listener in with your crooning and compelling vocals. I have always loved the topic of fireflies and your hook about chsing fireflies in the htickets of two hearts is Phenomenal. Lots of nostalgia in this one, especiually for the girl next door who played a game with me, a kiss for every firefly i caught for her. But man those bugs were elusive as hell. But when I got a few, I was enthralled by her gentle thank you on my lips. Matthew Blowers III

Now "Skinny Girls.' is a riotus collection of just plain fun and some great humor, I was so dissappointed when the track just cut out. But then I unbderstood you were giving folks just a taste. I was actually starting to visualize all the descriptive bean pole girls you were listing. A great bar song for sure, and I can see all the slightly inebriated guys rethinking and checking out all the skinny girls nursing their beers. LOL Matthew Blowers III

Matthew F. Blowers III I am really liking your song on California, I have a special love for that state. You captured all the reaons I miss it, with your superb storytelling in lyrics and with the smooth harmonies and extremely well played music. It has a catchy beat, and I listened to the very last note.

So today, for some reason I decided to read the words first.. Just the words. And found it an absolutely beautiful experience. The metaphors you use to describe great and cosmic plans and intentions of great societal achievement, contrasted with the lines that begin with, "BUT I dreamed we met for breakfast".... (the switch and the contrast is very powerful) what a tiny, common human thing: meeting over the sharing of food,. Then followed by, "I dreamed I held your hand"... human touch/connection, as though those two simple things are worth more than all the highest achievements of worldly fame, and material ladders climbed! Which they are. They so are. The rest of the lyrics continue to develop & express that idea beautifully. Then I listened to the sing, and although it is good as a song, For me, the words in themselves stand strong and impactful w/o anything else. Not to contrast them and say one is "better" than the other. Just that sometimes I see lyrics that stand alone, And just saying, these words do that very well. Gwyn Henry

My husband and I enjoyed that song thanks for the lyrics on Facebook.

Amazing song thank you for leaving the lyrics chords and that beautiful piano composition for us.

Glad to see that your spirit was not a victim of the virus.

short and sweet, i like it :)

Eerily simple and powerful

Good one! Sorry about Johnny. lol

Isn't that the truth, losing people every day.

Good one, I really like it!

I think we have all been there, really cute song!

Makes you think.

Kim Triolo Feil James Michael Taylor that's a fantastic story and a very lovely song

California has a chorus that camouflages the dramatic irony of the verse narrative. If it weren’t for the unusual intro, it’d seem zirconium. Christopher Youngblood

Circle of No Regrets sounds quaint. That’s what makes it hit. Unless you turn your ears on, it’s a boring song, but once you do, it’s hard to take. It’s almost like you’re giving the audience an option. Christopher Youngblood

I wrote to my children, my answer. I told the how I watched them thru the window and enjoyed them in ways they never knew. How seeing them learn and succeed at their efforts was such pleasure to me. How discovering who they were by the talents and generosity they exhibited made me happy...The first response I got was from Embyr, now a registered nurse, mother of 4, just said, "Jim, you were mean."

Sat 11:38 PM Christopher sent Yesterday at 11:38 PM I listened to Kite a bunch of times, trying to think how it could be improved (it can’t be), and it occurred to me that Ben Franklin flew a key. That part of the story had never occurred to me as important before. But it’s like he was trying to unlock something. Maybe he tried it on a clear day and let the kite rise to where he couldn’t see it. That’d be a different experiment altogether. Christopher Youngblood

Love the piano. Love the brevity, and the words themselves. Love "voice like confetti"! I get more about her story from the music itself. The words set it up beautifully. But the music, the back up, the energy had me seeing those waves, and sensing the sleeping fish beneath! Love the "tip" of another story, her buying l ip gloss in NYC. Love that that is all that you gave. Seen by Gwyn at 12:20 PM Gwyn Henry

Gwyn Henry Again...poetry!! Love this. Can relate to the discoveries under the couch!!

Such great beats. You remind me that I need to focus more on my rhythm tracks.

I was reading what you wrote about how you approach producing a song at Forum. Had to hear how it all came out. I see/hear! Really cool.

Pake Rossi James Michael Taylor this is one of my favorite of your songs!

That's a very complex silence, there! What must some rock and roll sound like in this place?

Nice idea...

You had me at, "Broken Windows." Love this. So, Family-Out-On-The-Porch.

Love the guitar sound. The song and the singing reminds me of one of my favorite songs from 1964 by The Seekers, I'll NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.

Great guitar presence. What were you playing?

Is this about a real place in your life. Very nice (You can answer by putting a message on any of my songs.) Thank you for listening to my songs and commenting.

So many elements! Great dynamic shifts. You swing. You rock.

So bold and moody. Thank you for listening to my songs.

Carolyn Wade 60 Years later?? This is a good song. Love the lyrics, the music fits the words.

Katy Tom Noyes The line....you feel warm when you're freezing to death.... I was so afraid this was going to happen to my Dad the first night. He thought he could tuff it out. Ended up in his car for warmth. He finally realized the severity and went to my brother's. He didn't want to leave his house

April Nicholle Bond Wonderful and moving! Thank you.

Very compelling, and I think the unusual/quirky arrangement complements the story. Tim Tandy

Connie Pittman Ramsey wow! whoa! like i said in the comments on alonetone ... 'its' not a bad movie ... just a bad scene ... is a kicker!! thanks!!

Very "cool."

Really clean!

Great idea. Killer production.
