This is the original "song".
ANY MORE
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 read in the newspaper about an 82-yr-old woman in Houston who got arrested for growing seven marijuana plants in her back yard. The song almost wrote itself.

Years ago, when I had just started writing songs, I read a novel by Terry Pratchett (Equal Rites) that inspired me to write a song which I imagined as a soundtrack for a scene from the book where Grandma Weatherwax was riding on a broom stick…

A song about conspiracy theorists. They bug me with their wingeing. "Wah wah wah, it's not fair" - well do something about it then, instead of claiming some kind of superiority and secret knowledge like we give a damn! Rant over, lol.
I really liked this...especially if it's true. For some reason I'm a failure as a gardener. And where I live right now would be death to any chickens I let run in my yard on account of the raccoons. A very nice song.

Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

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.
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Sounds like someone the republicans would be running for president. Very pretty song.
Doctors are mean!
Maybe we need to OCCUPY the real estate lady.
My sentiments exactly.
That was fun! "...use it on her joints..."
The sound is very Townes Van Zandt... I was listening from the other when it first came on and I thot it WAS TVZ. Like an Irish TVZ.
Lu, Welcome to Alonetone.
Sweet gentle looking back without anger
Very "movie-ish." Yes. Glad you got it back.
Yep!
Love it.
Gotta write words for this one...
Very nice groove. Catches the feel of the open road...
I'd lik to see the video to this... j mt
Very nice sound. Clean and clear.
Ha ha...
Like it. Buffalo Springfield written all over it.
I really liked this...especially if it's true. For some reason I'm a failure as a gardener. And where I live right now would be death to any chickens I let run in my yard on account of the raccoons. A very nice song.
Beautiful...
Sounds very old English. Like Bert Jentz or John Rhenborn. Like it. Very nice guitar sound.
