Clearing slash for a trail for the lift to the edge
Snow starts to falling the wind blowing sharp
Freezing my breath and breakin' heart

James Michael Taylor
...because. I've never sung it except when I was recording it as I "wrote" it. Are you suggesting I should?
You might notice that it's been on line since 2007 and not one comment.

James Michael Taylor awesome 💞 Your song is incredibly beautiful and soulful. My fav part was your narrative at the beginning. Haunting. My sister's name is Loretta 💕 My mom ....chose her namesake to tag her beautiful baby girl. Time. Goes. By.

I haven't listened to this for a while. Still knocks me out. Amazing presence. If this is not multitracked, if this is one of your coffee table productions, it... nope. No way. Every element is crisp. Flawless delivery. Master vocal. Pristine guitars...da da.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Ah yes now I get it.
Can't hear it, JM.
ooooooooooo*oooo() oooo* &&&&! oo.?
I'll say it again !!! Damn good song.. I'll be back ...
Damn good song .... I'll be back..
I'm on my second listen. It's very interesting but totally unexpected. Something about it is very facinating. It might be the driving rhythmn.
Dig!
I love your delivery, it has great rhythm too.
Such a good song in a short time! You finished it up beautifully JM.
The pumping in the background gives this such an edge. Most effective!
Yeah, drive on! Like the road from Houston to Fort Worth.
This one is atmospheric! What are you up to, exactly? Wonderful!
So we have travelled on and are now in the bar for some thirst quenching!
Definite native american indian feel! Lovely composition!
Well this is a prelude to something!
Like a prayer
pow-wow time
nice, like the barren-ness
Nice little ditties JMT. Been reading Ginsberg?
He howled in the night That someone was listening, He howled whole night That someone was. He howled all night And the moon Came out~

Kat Angel James Michael Taylor please make your song shareable. It gave me chills....so good!
Love it. Not used to you and that acoustic guitar. Sounds solid with your voice. If it’s really like you say it is, there’s no need to worry..."
Jme Kinser Oh sure, couple times
Ha, I recognize that singer. Love this.
Love the breathy harmonies...
Are you English?
Love this. The pulsating...
Is that all you? Great vocal...
Great production! Such an emotional song! Great vocal mix. I'd like to hear a bit more of the lead vocal.
Deborah Claybourn Darr James Michael Taylor I completely Love this Song

Could this be why she left me after 29 years? I never saw it like this.

Has anyone ever told you you're like an awesome mix of Crosby Stills Nash and Young mainly Neil Young meets Frank Zappa? LeAnne E Christian
Tony Desmuke That was some mighty fine prose there James.
