When I read the lyric, I wondered at you watching "House".
Well, the song is really brill and you sing it so well. The strings give it a wonderful melancholy flavour.

My life is broken but somehow it still works

This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.

The falling leaves, dead Everleys are pulling at my heart.
My quest for rationality, I can’t even start.
So, I’m clinging to the memories as the world falls apart

GONE - My sequester song...
Chain wrapped around the dog park gate
Weeds growing on the school yard lawn
Where has everybody gone
The chairs are stacked
And the stage is dusty
And my strings are getting rusty...

BECAUSE OF YOU

Because of you, I packed her skate board and her clock
Because of you, I stashed it all behind the couch
Because of you, I'll never have to throw it out

MOTHER'S EYES
I used to chide my mother

Firstly, W O W ! ! I wonder what inspired this. Reminded me of a neighbor, whose 3 yr old Grandaughter drowned in their pool, several yrs ago. The mother was selected in top 10, for Miss TX pageant. Beautiful Girl. Changed everything for their family. Very Sad. I have to say, You, SIR are very talented !! Writing, descriptive- phrasing, lyricism, vocally, musically, & the oration was Spot On !! I'm Truly Impressed !! I will definitely check out your other work, soon. After I finished listening, I had to clear my throat & wipe my eyes, before trying to think about what I could say. It was moving, touching, interesting, & left me deeply moved. Very Sad, but Very Awesome & Well-Done, in every sense. Thanks, Brother.

Not your average James Michael Taylor. Entertaining none the less.
See you guys at Prairie Fest on May 26. Can't wait!

TV the confidant of generations
Brilliant lyric JM! Very down to earth yet helpless. "American kid" "Kid" that's the operative word! Good one!
Great song mate excellent vocals
Happy, happy, happy...Grin
"holding to the moment, no matter where it went." I like that!
Brilliant.....
compelling and driving music, griping lyrics.
Mercy! Tells a story that needs to be told today. Powerful!
Disturbing . . . I suspect that was your objective.
great song all round - powerful lyric and great vocals.
Sounds nice and full, great in headphones. Tremendous vocals!
pow-wow at the philharmonic
really captures a feeling
Good 'un JMT
My comment went into the Texas Triangle. This is so well writen by Jeff Prince. And a masterful performance by JMT
Nice! made me smile!!
Amazing, very vivid narrative. And the music could not complement it any better.

Leslie Young I like it but I agree about slowing it down.
What a great song. I like how you strung together these everyday phrases. Theo
I'm the songwriting king of the jungle around these parts I know because Jeff Prince said, and he's the king of the arts...
