When you come to the end of the road
and all of the signs just say "No"
You never say, "Quit"
Cause that's not your bit
You're not a pup
You never give up...
It seems our hunger to express awe is channeled
into petty things early in our life and when we break free we feel robbed because all the mighty expressions are tied up in silly stories about some jealous being making contradictory demands…

One day as I was turning into my driveway I saw Rita on her porch. She's a lot like me.

C stepping down to F
Al was a smoker. He's dead now, of course
Al has Alzheimer's. Alcohol made it worse
D stepping down…

If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…

When I was a child we'd drive 200 miles
to Grandma's in the Spring
I'd hop out of the car, run to the back yard.
Grandma had a swing
But the times have changed...

I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve been out of control

The line....you feel warm when you're freezing to death.... I was so afraid this was going to happen to my Dad the first night. He thought he could tuff it out. Ended up in his car for warmth. He finally realized the severity and went to my brother's. He didn't want to leave his house

Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
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
Smile
I love the retro vibe of this (and actually all your other songs, too). Great arrangement, composition, everything!
It's always nice to come back and listen to some of your songs. I just wish there was more (spare) time in a day.
Cool, I never knew you were Bob Dylan's brother, James. ;)
Sad and beautiful at the same time. A good look into the lives we lead.
anthem for about a third of Americas population. nicely done
I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.
*Smiling*. By the end of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.

Gwyn Henry Again...poetry!! Love this. Can relate to the discoveries under the couch!!
Such great beats. You remind me that I need to focus more on my rhythm tracks.
I was reading what you wrote about how you approach producing a song at Forum. Had to hear how it all came out. I see/hear! Really cool.
Pake Rossi James Michael Taylor this is one of my favorite of your songs!
That's a very complex silence, there! What must some rock and roll sound like in this place?
Nice idea...
You had me at, "Broken Windows." Love this. So, Family-Out-On-The-Porch.
Love the guitar sound. The song and the singing reminds me of one of my favorite songs from 1964 by The Seekers, I'll NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.
Great guitar presence. What were you playing?
Is this about a real place in your life. Very nice (You can answer by putting a message on any of my songs.) Thank you for listening to my songs and commenting.
So many elements! Great dynamic shifts. You swing. You rock.
So bold and moody. Thank you for listening to my songs.
Carolyn Wade 60 Years later?? This is a good song. Love the lyrics, the music fits the words.

April Nicholle Bond Wonderful and moving! Thank you.
Very compelling, and I think the unusual/quirky arrangement complements the story. Tim Tandy
Connie Pittman Ramsey wow! whoa! like i said in the comments on alonetone ... 'its' not a bad movie ... just a bad scene ... is a kicker!! thanks!!
Very "cool."
Really clean!
Great idea. Killer production.
