The lyrics of this song, as they pertain to plot, are my exact memory of the event. I had spoken to the kid maybe a minute before the "action" started about how the pressure of the water was very strong. He was nestled down with his back…

Is this a true story? How very sad. I was wondering how I would reply to such a statement, but then I realized you answered that question -- if you're a songwriter, you write a song about it. Even if it's only 35 seconds long. :(

Very creative James. It usually takes me 2 more songs in March to recuperate from RPM.

The guest who commented below I must agree with regarding the early to mid '60s feel. and yet again, as the same guest noted, there is that "distinctively Jim Taylor" sound. And finally, again like the guest below, I like it!

"Svetlana" makes me smile. It evokes happy memories of the music of the early to mid-sixties for me. Yet it is quintessentially and distinctively Jim Taylor. Your songs are all so different, yet all bear your distinctive stamp. I like it!
