JUNK
This week's prompt is "DIRTY LAUNDRY"
Key C
I got a call from Russell
He had to move his Junk
He'd filled his car
He'd filled his trunk
Big black bags of Something
I said, "What's with these?"
He said…
Cheaper to buy washed clothes at the thrifty store than to wash his clothes?
Surely they have caught on by the third or fourth time he trades his clothes?
Love the short, to the point, songs you write.
This is so soothing......your voice is like an angels....I'm thinking of listen to it tonight when I can't seem to turn my mind off....hope you don't mind.....thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself with me." Dorothy

THE TIDE POOLS OF CALIFORNIA
When you're born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches
In the tide pools of California
In the memories of one little…
The Brighter Candle
The brighter candle knows the truth
In golden glow of brightest sun
And knows there’s no eternal youth
The brighter candle
So many, walking, go nowhere
On bikes and skates with silver hair
It’s like a dream she once…

LOVE this. I first listened while finishing work earlier, back then I mainly noticed your signature lush backing vocals on the chorus (bit loud on this one maybe?). But when I listened again in comfort, able to concentrate... woah, gorgeous song.

I guess I forgot to hit 'post comment'. What I said was...WOW! I love this song! I love the hesitation after down for shelter/echoes of the pictures/where you are...I love the chordings and the harmonies. Seriously, I love this song!!
I don't think I've ever heard you with this tempo. Everything is right-on! Did you do all the parts as you usually do? If so, I didn't know you played electric lead like that & the organ so so well!! My ears thank you. Thanks.
The drum and keys track was on a CD sent to me and composed and performed by a friend, Don Landry. Instantly I wanted to put voices with it, so I did. Don likes it. Mission accomplished.

I BUY GUITARS

One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke

Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars
Em
I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…

When I was a child we'd drive 200 miles
to Grandma's in the Spring
I'd hop out of the car, run to the back yard.
Grandma had a swing
But the times have changed...

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.
I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve been out of control
They took away my blanket. Put me out in the cold.
Even Miami’s got ice on the ground
Man said, “You be a good boy and get out of my town.”

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

Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…

Cheaper to buy washed clothes at the thrifty store than to wash his clothes? Surely they have caught on by the third or fourth time he trades his clothes? Love the short, to the point, songs you write.

I’m laughing early this morning. James ...... you can write a song about anything.
Great memories. You really paint a picture.
I am SO tempted to follow the advice in this one ... but I'm meant to be working!! Lovely melody and chords.
Haunting song
Two thumbs up... I wanted to know more.
This is wonderful. I just love your storytelling!
I like this ...
Neil Young? Sounds great!
Similar memories just up the coast! Good tune!

Love what you did with this, man!
This is a gem! I’ve been a member of the 12 step Guitar Buyers Anonymous for years.
Oops... just ordered another one....
Mrs R loves this one too :)
Still love this one. Pity I can't favourite it twice...
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
...and, yes, we do know!
Beautiful. Perfect voice. Love the chord change at "at the time." "Indigo night," brings a tear. Thank you.
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.

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."
