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.
FOREVER by James Michael Taylor
My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…
The first track on the new FONTANELLE album.
HAPPY Key - Am
Happy is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade (AM)
A fleeting spark that fades as the memory is made (G)
Happy is the spark when the hammer strikes the steel (F)

Excellent lyrics, clearly delivered at breakneck speed. Superb!
This album is really great, the tracks are well written, performed and it's clear a lot of fun was had putting it together. A jolly good listen.
DIGGIN’ A HOLE by Jeff Prince
This is Jeff on the vocal
From an album we made as THE GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY
All that fun guitar stuff is Jeff.
Diggin’ a hole is a natural thing to do.
Out in Odessa searching for Texas crude.
Or up in the…
I JUST NEED A GIRLFRIEND
‘TIL MY BABY COMES BACK Key - D
I just need a girlfriend ‘til my baby

BLUE CORVETTE by Jeff Prince
Friday afternoon I stop to cash my check
Buy a case of Bud and pack of cigarettes
Oh, something to shake. Oh, something to break.
Someday I’ll be riding in a blue Corvette.
I could get myself a corner Laundromat…
Oh, I would have liked to be on the backing vocals here. It reminds me of some 50's stuff where the backing was girlies repeating the end of the previous lines. Fun track!
There's a biker bar about two miles from my house. Guthrie and Rick and I sang there for a few months on Thursday nights. Guthrie and I many a Sunday afternoon and night. It calls itself THE 2500 CLUB and claims to be "The best little biker bar…
HALF AS MUCH AS MY WIFE - by Jeff Prince
I drink Jim Beam and water
I drink much more than I otter
Whiskey flows thru me each day of my life
But I drink half as much as my wife
She drinks more than George Jones
on a bender. She’s got…
SEASONS
Midnight rendezvous. Window to her room.
Teenaged lovers under cover.
masquerade of sound: Thunder from the sky.
Train passing by. Wind howlin’ strong.
The world is their song.
Don your winter down. Snow falls all around
This…
IN MY DREAM by James Michael Taylor
Last night I held your hand
Reached out and touched your hand
I know it's just a dream
I say, "What does that change?"
Today the sun will shine
Because you made it mine
IN MY DREAM
I held…
THE GIRL HERE IN MY HEART by James Michael Taylor
If you ever see her tell her that I love her
She might not remember. She has found another
I you ever see her you will recognize her
The girl here in this picture.
She's the girl here in my heart…
THE TABLE by Jeff Prince
Funny, running into you this way after all these years
You hardly aged a single day except those lines around your eyes when you smile. She laughs as she recalls the girl that she was and the boy who chased her around…
SHALLOW GRAVE by Jeff Prince/JMT
Oh, well, well. Oh, my, my.
I'd like to see you on the other side
Oh, well, well. Oh, my, my.
I'd like to see you in the Bye & Bye.
I tried to write you a song but I couldn't
thin' think of nothin…

The lyrics of this song,
as they pertain to plot,
are my exact memory of the event.
I had spoken to the kid maybe a minute before the "action" started about how the pressure of the water was very strong. He was nestled down with his back…
Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song....
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.
Inspired by something Jenni…
Peggy taught me an Eagles song toward the end off our life together. I think it was NEW BOY IN TOWN. (I had no idea what she was telling me.) I took the chord progression from that song and wrote this. Peggy said that was cheating.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Mess? I hear no mess here. I hear a good time.
Excellent lyrics, clearly delivered at breakneck speed. Superb! This album is really great, the tracks are well written, performed and it's clear a lot of fun was had putting it together. A jolly good listen.
Now, you are one cool dude! I love everything about this track, it's my favourite on the cd!
Hang on James, I'm on my way! ;)
Oh, I would have liked to be on the backing vocals here. It reminds me of some 50's stuff where the backing was girlies repeating the end of the previous lines. Fun track!
Brilliant lyrics! I love this track! Super performance!
Ha, love the lyrics. A nice bit of fun. Cool guitar going on too.
Pretty song. I like the gentle music with the firm percussion, it works really well.
This is a great song. Good strong vocals.
A beautiful love song JM, most tenderly sung. The country music is perfect.
It's really difficult to talk on a track, I have done it once. This is very well done.
Jeff's voice reminds me of Jeff Lynne. (That's good). Nice and perky guitar work.
Sounds like a thumping good jam! Great vocals! It grows on ya!
Pitch this to N.Young and Crazy horse. Perfect fit. Lovely, the freedom here!
Reminds me of one of those sparklers on the 4th of July. Good One James!
Nice! I'm digging the raw edge to this one, especially that guitar stuff at around 3 minutes.
:)
do they still line dance out that way.
Ah good for True! Why Mr Taylor, I am quite stirred. Really digging the atmosphere. Definitely native american influences.
Hey JMT your experimental side is showing! I'm diggin it!

That's what she said.

Something on my tongue...

The belfry in my head.

I've heard a lot of your songs, but never this one that I can recall. Very powerful and touching lyrics. Ashley
I need to hear your words. Can you put them in the " about the song" space? If you do, let me know... jamesmichaeltaylor@jameswmichaeltaylor.com
Sad...but that's how we songwriters deal with loss, isn't it?
