LET IT GO 032011 Key - G
I do a lot of walkin' so I find a lot of stuff
I fill my pockets up with bolts and nuts
Once upon a while I find a diamond in the ruff
But mostly dimes and nickels in the ruts…
A friend of mine sent me a poem and asked me to put music to it. I took the liberty to mangle a bit of the lyric.
MANGO
I like a mango. I like a mango.
Well, I like mangos mornin' noon 'n night
I like's in the dark. I like 'em in the light…

IF
If your heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If in tears you be soakin'
let it be by music
If your silence must be ended
let it be by laughter
If your love must say good-bye
let it be in death
If your pockets must be empty…
IF
If your heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If in tears you be soakin'

If your pockets must be empty…

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
I clearly remember, you said it didn't matter
I asked your permission. You said it's my decision
I said, "It's quite a climb." You said, "Well, take your time."
I asked you how you're doing and you said you were doing…
NOWHERE - Key of G
James Michael Taylor
1. Maybe I misunderstood G
Maybe I was wrong C
But I thot you loved me D
You stayed so long G
2. Maybe I missed something…
WHO SHE WAS
Maybe she'll come back. I hope she does.
Maybe there's a site on line
that'll tell me where she works
and who she was
Lady, please come back. I'll be right here
Ever night I'll pull up the covers and shut my eyes
and pray…
key - C
I’m clinging to the memories as the world falls apart
The falling leaves, dead Everleys are pulling at my heart.
My quest for rationality, I can’t even start.
So, I’m clinging to the memories as the world falls apart
I’m clinging…
IF
If your heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If in tears you be soakin'
let it be by music
If your silence must be ended
let it be by laughter
If your love must say good-bye

This is the extended version of the 35 second original...
Guitars and drums are so
helpful when one wants to express
despair and confusion
and despair....and confusion.

The music speaks the anger and the pain. You've got mad skills at using music to express your feelings. I'm sure in its own way the creations are also healing.
I never sing this song the same two times in a row.
The lyric below is pretty close to how I sing it now.
Listening again, this is an awful version of this song...
I have my recording machine working again...I must redo this.
I PLAY C…
I read a book a long long time ago
Why it frightened me, I didn’t know
But there it was. There I was
How did I know?
A simple story. A man and his lover.
Made me quiver. Run for cover.
Beautiful lady in my future…Woooo
I read a book…
They discovered a planet that has no star
Maybe they'll let me name it whoever they are
I know all about a planet without a star
Oh, please let me name it.
I know all about it.
A planet. No orbit. Just lost out in space
No hope or habit…

On page thirty of the yearbook he found a picture sweet
A girl named Marie Angel, in school right down the street
Dm walk down G
He didn’t notice…

I finally was able to remix the song. Please listen to "Fide On The Broom Stick (Version 2012)" in my track list to compare…
Listening to this I see icicles melting as the sun comes up and the melted water flows into the gutter and then into the storm drain.....cars pass by and people run to the bus stop. Watch the passing storefronts as the town wakes up. Very evocative.
This is a page from my "sketchbook". I regularly sit with a guitar and just let the flow of thoughts drift up in words and progressions. I will rather "surf" an idea that arises on some set of words, but I don't "control" much of this. So it's…
Another page from my "sketchbook". This is typical. Not much detail. But a real feeling or two emerges. Like a potters perfectly turned shard or the poet's beautiful line that she's never found more words to join with...
It's not unusual to chase your girl around with a dull axe, is it? Just kidding - This was 60 tracks and almost a year to finish. I had some help:
Guitars: Tony W
Fadeout Solo: Gnasty
Acoustic/Rhythm Guitars: Me
Phone Message: Tony W &…
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
This is big open prairie music. Out between Dodge City and Denver. I can see the buffalo grazing and the hawks slowly circling
somewhere between the bent grasses and a wisp of cloud.
Sunday aftnoon (11/09/08) took the reso down to the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum and recorded some doodling inside the Serra sculpture Vortex. No effects added, all natural reverb inside the structure.
It's cool for PLACE to be so "real" in a piece.
Funny I do a piece today called SUNDAY AFTERNOON and you post this with Sunday Afternoon as the first two words.
We must be following the same ChemTrails...
This is the finished version of Trance-Indental. the second half has come out very different to what I thought it would, but I like it. Give it time to build as it progresses.
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
I dream a lot of dreams that don't come true...
So u mangled the mango? ;)
This one made me smile. You could sell this as a mango farm marketing song. So catchy!
Very catchy. I like this a lot.
Turkey would work too...;)
Sweet.
This is a great song.
These are particularly intelligent lyrics!
Has a dark feel to it.
Maybe I misunderstood... Very apologetic.
I like it. Kind if rockin.
I need a two step partner for this one.
Great song JMT

Beautiful pictures.
A little flight of the bumble bee sounding for a second. Interesting intermission. Not sure how that fits in.
Not sure what that means scientifically but its an interesting image and i get what u are saying. Sounds lost and lonely. Goldyn
Wow! I just love the guitars on this. I can hear that storm!!!
This goes in Taylor family album. Goldyn
I really like the subtlety of this one Goldyn

Like the use of the metaphor.
What a sweet song. I bet your grand daughter loves this.
Love your imagery and harmonies...
Thanks for your comments. I like the way this bulds. Sort of Beatley. Sort of Pink Floyd.
Nice music for a rainy day....
Sounds like a musical rocking chair....or porch swing...has me swaying in my seat.
Sounds like something from Goldfinger...great movie music!
This is pretty wild. Like something from the 007 movies.
So glad you kept it simple...a touching tribute.
Very cool...
Good, chunky guitar sound. Groove.
That good old Beach Boys sound. Cool!
I can see the cows out there by that cactus stand. Nice twangy guitar.
That is a very cool groove. The sort of thing that keeps me going until I have a very cool new song.

Hey, Kavin.! I figured I'd put up the songs from my new CD. Cool, doing a Doors song... j mt
