This is the original "song".

It was raining in the parking lot
We ran all the way to the door
That's when you said,
"I love you but I don't need you any more."

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. :(

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!

Again, while not exactly the tone of Neil Young, your execution and delivery is indeed an echo of that very talented Canadian. The sung parts, anyway. Sweet story.

I can't tell if it's morning or evening
I can't tell night from day

I can't tell if it's…

A Restless Time
Watching in the restless time
of what you've got to be.
I don't know if you can draw
and I don't know to see
just what it's for.

I go down the road today
and I don't know what to say

That's a very cool song.
Also, I want to say, "Thanks," for visiting my music. I used to play the Basement Coffee House back when Lyle was running the show. Married the girl behind the concessions counter.
This is a piece written for the Linux Musicians Uncompetition (http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10331).
The purpose of such un-competition is making some music with Linux tools, and then share it.
The premise for this…

"Grand Dieu, et vous tous temoins de ma mort, j'ai vecu en philosophe, et je meurs en Chretien," and so died.

January Town
-
With the snow coming down
in this January town
how could I not think of you
Oh the words that you said
still echo in my head:
When one dies one is born anew
In the parking lot of the graveyard
a stranger walked up to me
he said…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…
Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....
there is no beauty in the sky....
or warmth on her face…
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.

Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
short and definitely bitter sweet! Good stuff

Sell this to Jimmy Buffett! :)
Great lyrics as usual from you. Great song
Masterful storytelling James. 1st class. Go to the front row.
Very creative James. It usually takes me 2 more songs in March to recuperate from RPM.
Flawless!
Poignant message and lovely harmonies
I think this might just be my favorite JMT song!
well this is a fun upbeat tune, James, I also like tha keys/organ, it werks very well... c):~)

So sad to let it go ....
Mad as a box of frogs....loved it !
Where do you get a drink when your pissing in the sink..... What a great line ....
Again, while not exactly the tone of Neil Young, your execution and delivery is indeed an echo of that very talented Canadian. The sung parts, anyway. Sweet story.
Love the lyrics ....beautifully done ...
You got a hit with this one James my children like it !! And so do I ....
I really dig this.
Congratulations James! I'm way behind this year. You are an inspiration.

Very cool song. Love the guitar sound.
That's a very cool song. Also, I want to say, "Thanks," for visiting my music. I used to play the Basement Coffee House back when Lyle was running the show. Married the girl behind the concessions counter.
Well, you are choosing your samples/sounds well. I really like what it all adds up to.
Too sad for words...
Breezy groove. Very nice.
This is beautiful. Is that a harp?
Love the blending of diverse elements.
Well, Dare I hope to do as well. But I'm sure going to do some experimenting.
That's the best synthesized strings I've ever heard that I know of. What are you doing them with?
Very mournful. Is that real violins? (pyropool@earthlink.net)
I can hear Marty Robbins singing this. Such a suggestion of sadness.
...a time a place and a girl. Nice song. Cool imagery...."snow has hushed the sound..." And the graveyard reference.
Like vocals.
Very good! ...and well done.
Such desolation...
For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I can not get this or the above songs to play.
I like this a lot. But on my player the background voices overwhelm your words. Want to hear the words. Want to hear the words.
Actually, it's more like Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was one of my favorites.
Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.
