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.

Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained

This one didn't really get the arrangement or mix is deserved. One more week to go.
Once in a while, I just like to waste my time
I won’t spend every day towing someone’s line
So if you see me and you want to stop and chat
Don’t be discouraged…
Week 52
This is my last song of the week from 2022! I arranged this one for my brother. He wrote the lyrics and basic melody. It's straight-up rockabilly.

Whether what he said was true or not, it was cruel, insensitive slap and a prime example of "truth" best left unspoken. And then there is the great song that you wish you hadn't had to write.

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.
