This is all me...
VOICES
There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry
Something that would like to tell it's story
There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly

THERE, I SAID IT
The more you got, the more you got to lose
From the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes
The things you love. The things you abuse
It's enough to give a white boy the blues
I said it. There, I said it
It might…
FOR A PENNY
From the moment Toy saw the light
he was the center of attention.
In a room full of sunlight and 'Welcome,"
he was a new dimension.
Tiny traveler, arriving wet
Peggy hardly breaking a sweat
Toy was born in the middle of the…
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.
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
I CAN'T TELL
I can't tell if it's morning or evening
I can't tell night from day
I can't tell if I'm arriving or leaving
Doesn't mean a thing to me
Since you went away
I can't tell if it's sunny or raining
I can't tell if it's…
This is all me...

This song is the concluding song on my RPM Challenge February album. It is a good-bye to the project.

It has been a lot of fun

Your tone is not Neil, but your style, your delivery, is very much Neil. This is a really enjoyable recording. Very exciting, very tastefully done. ROCK ON!

I sent that link to my bff Misty. Remember her?
This was her response: I love the juxtaposition of the absurdity of the subject to the poignancy of the underlying message. Spoken like an English teacher. Michael Soto
Yeah, there's an "Indian" graveyard somewhere out there at the Stock Yards.

So, this friend listens to The Couch and immediately tells me I MUST mention the imaginary friends behind the couch. That "hair" is gookie. It didn't occur to her that if I mentioned all the things listeners thought of when they listened to the song, we would still be singing...
I FELL IN LOVE WITH TEXAS
Well, I was not born in Texas
I just came here for a while
You give a state like this an inch
It turns into a mile
I came to stay a day or two
It turned into a life
Now I've got three hungry kids
And one Texas…
Robert Dwain Elliott
I met a man named Michael today, Standing beside a hallway, With a cool coat and wearing a throng, For some $$$ he’ll sing you a song. (He was not born in Texas, he just came here for a while).He did run over a chicken on the road once… Feathers in the Wind.

TROJAN capo @ 3 in C

He can’t hold both their hands but he must stand between them and you know it’s for nothing he (C) did
And you (F) know it’s…
Lee, I just dialed up TROJAN. By the time I read the 1st four lines I was crying.. Maybe, after all these years it a lot deeper than back when I wrote it.
Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song....
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.

I love the song. But change the hair and pins line to” my imaginary friends or images of my imaginary friends.

The hair and pins line may be the truth but too gross.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
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.

Your vocal work is amazing! I really enjoyed this....
Glad to know you are not disappearing! I am also attempting the RPM challenge. So you are amazing - done already!! I love your music!
Now that I get it -- VERY COOL! Glad to know you're not leaving the AloneTone family. Keep it real!
Where are you going?? will miss your great music. Best wishes!!!
Very cool message
Much of this, for me, strongly echoes the spirit of a young Neil Young.
Ah yes the sweetness of those old California summer days.
very nice vocals, like the song it puts a smile on ones face ;-)
beatiful sound coming from your guitar sir, love the song too !
A sweet sentimental remembrance of an old friend. I can't help but feel that you have just shown the rest of us . . . *That's How It's Done*
You're the only songwriter I know that would, and successfully cold, write a tear-jerker about an old couch. 5 solid gold kudos! Keep it real, James!
