The Inappropriate Question
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting.
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.

During the Iraq war there was a traveling exhibit: On a mall they would line up pairs of boots. One pair for each American soldier killed in Iraq.

I like this track, with all the ideas flowing through it... Background vox are beautiful and spooky, simultaneously! My one suggestion would be to take the lead vocals down some, as they stand out too far in fron t of the mix, in my opinion... :)
The banjo, bass and guitar on this song
was played by Michael Jeffrey. This is one song off the record we did together back in 1975/6 on his 4 track machine. Michael and Barbara Anne Taylor sing harmony.

"Love is just a pretty face" a line full of meaning, speaks volumes.
I like the more tender vocal. Ha, now you'll say you didn't change that!
Such a great song!

Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection.
I'm a complete sucker for this song.
It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful.
It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear.
It makes grown men cry (quite literally here at the moment).
I can't think what else to say - I SO wish I'd written this.
Thankyou.

A little bit of pop with a strong 80s touch (I hope).

VERSE ONE - You said you knew the story would upset me G
That you'd resolved to kept it to yourself G D
You said you knew how hard it would…
Remember that song, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME ANY MORE? You wrote. "What a hateful, miserable person that big mouth is." Well, Big Mouth, yes, and oblivious, but he's one among us and non of us think of him as hateful. People say things in a flash, not having a clue to how it's going to land.

My Rebecca married a buddy who was killed in a car wreck. Had a beautiful daughter who died in her teens. Such sadness I have lost touch with her. She and I met ay Abilene Christian College in 1964. One day we met at a park and she read THE LITTLE PRINCE to me.

Very interesting. I was there with my girlfriend Rebecca Portillo. Your song made that trip extra special. She lived in Las Cruces NM and I lived in Columbia, Mo attending UMC. We eventually went out separate ways. So your song turned out to be prophetic. Thank you for using your gift of music and sharing it. Phil Estes

Any chance you played in a bar in El Paso August 1978? That’s where I heard “I live with Rebecca.” Bought an album there with this song, actually because of this song. Peace - Phil Estes
NEW DAY Key Am
In the morning when she gets me up
Pours some wake up in my coffee cup
She opens the window, lets the new day in
She says, “Open your heart and embrace it.
Take that frown and erase it.
I whistle a happy song…”
So…
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
There's something about this that really grabs me... truly inventive idea for a song. Yep, it really is all the same, isn't it?
Oh, yeah this wonderful. Really well pitched, could've been so over-sentimental but it's not. Love it.
Outstanding...
Grabs the attention from the off. Wonderful vocal harmonies. I like the alternating narrating and singing and the music is very pretty.
Begs to be incorporated in a rock opera.
Brilliant. "How do we know that a promise is anything more than a wish..." Woo This lonely little song needs a lot more attention.
I like this track, with all the ideas flowing through it... Background vox are beautiful and spooky, simultaneously! My one suggestion would be to take the lead vocals down some, as they stand out too far in fron t of the mix, in my opinion... :)
Beautiful.....
Ooo, I found this cos someone favourited it (thanks B!) It's gorgeous :)
"Love is just a pretty face" a line full of meaning, speaks volumes. I like the more tender vocal. Ha, now you'll say you didn't change that! Such a great song! Cheers Bethan
good thoughts and nifty tune
Fabulous vox James. Love your style man.
Cool tune JMT - Love that lead guitar. Has an Ozark Mountain Daredevils quality to it.
Excellent track mate.
Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection. I'm a complete sucker for this song.
This is like Neil Young getting together with Queen and doing a ballad. Very cool arrangement!
It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful. It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear.

Ooooooo! Gorgeous.
Wonderful song!
I love the backing vocals too!
