My daughter, Wyn, sings
a song I wrote in 1977
while I was doing a gig
at the Ramada Inn in
Laredo.
Harmonies are by her mother,
Barbara Anne Taylor and step
mother, Peggy Ann Mitchell.
The guitar solo and keys are
by my son, Rabyn…

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.
Consider the lilies of the field.
I know exactly how they feel

This song is on the soundtrack of

Is this a new version? I'm sure I've already commented on this before.
Sounds like it could be a new version. But, what ever, I love it even more than last time. This is SUPERB.
Love the "odd" bass note at the end.

I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

A quick song I made up out of nowhere, hence the title "Somewhere out there" LOL... Everything you hear is me apart from the drums, as usual. I hope you enjoy my bedroom recording... Warm regards, Anna

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
This absolutely gorgeous. Such a lovely song and vocal. Cheers Bethan
Good!
Interesting
That sound was me clicking my finger nail on one of my guitar strings with added reverb.
What was the sound effect you used to create that cosmic background sound? I like it--and the song as a whole.
great piece J. what a great movie track.it could be.
short and sweet... I kinda like it
Excellent lyric James. Love the harmonies and your music isn't too dusty either. All said, a great song! Ahh, a sudden ending! Cheers Bethan
So nice!
Good stuff
Awesome harmonies as usual. Mysterious song.
Simply,mind boggling

Never wrestle with a angel

I like what you do.
Digging it! Rock on. I would be adding a chant with this with cool harmonies...
What program are you using.
It aint like no ones done this before But how can you tire of beautiful chords That really says it.
Takes me back to the late 60s.
Right up there with YOU GOT ME.
What Gene said. Major production.

So lush. That 1968 vibe again. Is this several people or are you doing it all?
Welcome to our little family. What a big full sound! Very nice blend. Very interesting combination of sounds. It's very 1968.
ASK CODY! It's what he told me. We report. You decide.
intriguing story deserves further developement
That ELO comment was supposed to go here.
ELO all over the place.
Love the blend of voices. Very Beatlesque.
...and tell us more about yourself in the profile.
Please include the words. I want to hear every word. Beautiful.
Love the naked voices...harmony.
Beautiful...there are places the voice and instruments merge.
That's cool. Lots of layers. 3D.
