The Glen Campbell-John Hartford era reference is spot on. I dig it

Kind of a Glen Campbell-era classy country sound and vibe. I think I like this version best, so far... who knows who might come along to do version of this version of that version of I'm confused already! ;)

sounds good. the lyrical tweaks worked. the production is simple and effective. the vocals on the last verse seem to be punched in and out a lot, i wasn't sure if you were going for an effect or what, but it distracted me from the song a little. otherwise, that's a gooder 'un. jbp

Bittersweet. Dark, painful, but beautiful. Very well recorded -- mixed and mustered with great care and taste.

Now these are some interesting lyrics. The music is rather dark and sad in its delivery. It's a good mixing/mastering job -- chilling! I like it, but I sense the pain.

This is a great song! Creates a great visual with the lyrics.

An interesting progression of chords. Good lyrics. Nice vocal mix.

Cool tune, it does make me happy!

You commented on my HEAR MY FINAL SONG song, "Makes me want to hear more of the story." My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthling were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar. But the reason it's my final song is due to an illness that is preventing me from playing guitar like I use to and I don't have the strength and energy to take on anymore recording projects. Thanks for listening and your interest in the song -- it means a lot!

WHOA! Brief but epic. Very, very cool!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Harold

excellent!.....

Truth.....James Michael Taylor.....thanks for the great tunes.....

I'm touched, moved, and having been there and done that, I relate. Great rift and awesome lyrics. Keep that nose clean!

when the shadows of this life have grown like a bird that prison bars has flown & good luck finding that first job these days... thanks James

Very Clever! Easily puts images into the mind. Nice work!

Short and Sweet. Good message.

Rock on! Rock the Hell on!

Minimal and to the point, I do like the Bit

David Young Wow! Beautiful song! One of your best.

Leslie Young Evocative song.

John R. Thielges I think you bring poetry to grief; in an unique way. "Help" and hickory sticks. Thank you.

Raechel Frice James Michael Taylor the story telling aspect of your songs/lyrics remind me of John Denver. This is meant as a compliment.

Paul Smith James Michael Taylor I freaking love your music.

Randy Brown I think everyone was hesitant to encourage the final solution. I love the melody and the sadness of the lyrics.

Dene Colwill You are truly one of the greatest song writers of this decade. Right there with Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot in my opinion. All I can say off that sadness and anger is still strong pray to God for peace as only he holds the way to you being able to let b it go. You can't change other people or events that have happened, but you can learn to forgive and change how YOU react to them. If you ever feel nobody cares or will listen, call me. I'll find time and make the time to meet with you or listen over the phone. Don't let depression or anger beat you down for too long old friend. Like Reply2h Active James Michael Taylor I write songs to explain my situation to myself. Considering it all I might just be the happiest person I know.

Lazarus Knight Sometimes you post a song with a link that brings up an album. I don't always listen to the full album because of the rush of life. But I'm trying to remember one of the very recent ones ... I think it (the song)_ was called "Sometime". It is so beautifully poetic and the feeling is passed along so gracefully. It is truly an expression of sweet sorrow, or more accurately, a sweet expression of the numbing pain of loss. It is the thing that my story songs just don't quite do. Lazarus Knight

Brian Gagnon I fought this feeling by staying angry. 30+ years later, I'm still angry.

Tim Tandy The mood of this song reminds me of John Denver's "Perhaps Love." He explained that he wrote it when he was no longer in a relationship but that, while there was sorrow and pain, there was also the beautiful memory of love to see him through. You've captured the bittersweetness -so different from melancholy - of the best haiku poems.

Tim Tandy Whew.............

Haunting. A different take on driving a dark desert highway, cool wind in your hair....Tim Tandy

Jere Reiser Beautiful and Haunting. It is not we, who summon ghosts from the past. Rather it is we who haunt our past. It's like going back to the present. In some instances, I suffer from being the perpetrator and can't avoid picking at the scab. But that's just me.

Ken Gaines Well, my friend, I'm glad you haven't ridden that bullet yet. Meanwhile, I miss swapping songs with you.

I dig it - Raechel Frice

David Young Very sad song but your lyrics are wonderfully written, as always. You are a musical treasure!

Kat Angel Heartfelt and beautiful.

Leslie Young Sad song.

This sounds like more verses to Hey, Regina...

What a sweet song. That guitar figure really catches the time...
