PEGGY'S GONE Key of F
Peggy’s gone. After 29 years.
Three grown children. What am I doing here.
Why am I still alive? What am I supposed to do?
I ask myself. I’m asking you.
Peggy’s gone. She says it’s for good
I say, “That’s bad,” but…
Just strolling thru old JMT albums, stopped at DON'T... played PEGGY'S GONE... Gawd! My dear old friend... I'd forgotten! Such pain poured out... into such a beautiful song! It still makes me cry... I cry now. (JQM)
She had a beer and I drank water
Rectangle pizzas cut in quarters
But to me none of that mattered
She was the Woman At The Well
We ordered appetizers
Four bucks apiece it's Happy Hour
I couldn't take my eyes off her
I drove the car. She…

Very nice... this is a prime example of how the words of a JMT song can flow so effortlessly into a captivating story... how JMT can "paint" a "canvas" with sound.
It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.
TOO MUCH
I’ve heard too much. I’ve seen too much
Don’t ask me any questions because
I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much

"Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling..."
SOMEWHERE
G capo @ 2 - live @ 4
Somewhere between the summer and the winter
The leaves between the tree tops and the fall
Somewhere between my heart and circled letters
Somewhere…
PAGAN MAN
Pagan man in a pagan land
You need britches britches
Sell 'em to the Indian
Trade 'em to the Indian
Dump 'em on the Indian
Pagan man in a pagan land
You need horses, horses
Sell 'em to the Indian
Trade 'em to the Indian…

Well, this one speaks for itself if you listen carefully. You know who!
A somewhat jazzy song....
I played the keys, bass, guitars and did the vocals & mix
drums done in Addicted drums
I'm the king of the world
And all I do is tweet…
A band version of this song
KC - guitar, vocals & mix
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums

They say that you are bad
They say you got me hooked
They say you drive…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one
That you decide to wear." Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train." And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail."
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

WiW! I have had
it for many years but it never left my desk side. It's been the guitar I reach for when I am working at my bedroom/office computer. Never even thought about recording with it.
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Inspired.....needs a fiddle or two ???
Guitar is better than the fiddle anyways! LOL
I like the way you held the vocal harmonies tight on this, not easy to do. Cool song.
~JMT, The Man~
limitations ,the darn things are always so limiting .
Very Pretty James!
Just strolling thru old JMT albums, stopped at DON'T... played PEGGY'S GONE... Gawd! My dear old friend... I'd forgotten! Such pain poured out... into such a beautiful song! It still makes me cry... I cry now. (JQM)
Such great song writing. Cheers Bethan
Love the feel of dread the percussion and background vocals creates. Now if I can get this Alonetone site to work so I can listen to more music...
Very nice... this is a prime example of how the words of a JMT song can flow so effortlessly into a captivating story... how JMT can "paint" a "canvas" with sound.
Neil Young would have been proud to write this one, but it's 100% JMT.
Great stuff JMT! Thanks! Best ... Gordon
Great song!
You really know how to tickle an emotion. I love it James!
Somewhere between the stumbling and the falling. great line JMT. Keep going.
This is one that I haven't heard yet. Me likey.
I could listen to this one all day long...
Love this!!!!!
Nice arrangement. Luv all tha eclectic-electric G'tar-werk in tha track.. c):~)
relationships are so easy until we go and involve another human.
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
This really creates a world of it's own...
I like how you fit your voice and sentiment into this barren acoustic landscape.
Love the tender lyric buried in the storm of sound.
It's like the instruments are playing footsie.
Iy's like a meditation...could loop indefinitely
...another sunny song. Great happy groove!
What a sunny song!
Love the rawness of the tracks and the mix. Just wish the vocal was out a bit more.
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one That you decide to wear."

"I’m trying to put you behind me" Ha ha!
Great vocal.
Do we ever get past this?
Guitar sounds great!
Really gets the raw sadness. But by the time they tell you it's over it's most likely been over for some time...

Beautifully done.

So clean and clear. Love it.
Amazing tone. I'd love to hear this on True's system at TPBY Speakers.
Great groove. Perky & quirky.
