I sang this live few times until
it became clear that it was a joke to the

If I remember it correctly, this track is more poignant sounding than the previous version.
I liked the way you softened the vocal for the,"We blame ourselves....." and I still love the chorus.
Nice intro and outro too.

OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…

If you were dead my life would be simple
I'd hurt and miss you like I do
But the missing would be different, if you were dead
If you were dead it would be all over
I'd cry and write a song or two
But the songs would be different, if you were…

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
Well, they are all good Im sure , But this one is straight across. I like the clearity. More straight on please
Damn, James you really sound like nile young
A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.
A amazing bit of information to share with a broad spectrum of the populous
HA! Great stuff!

very informative James, I'm so happy my fat ass can be blamed on somebody else
Great message... Also, the style of the music fits the spirit of what's being sun... Awesome!
This is enchanting. I really enjoyed your story, the chorus is clever and I love the dual vocal used to great effect.
WOW!!!!! LOVED ALL OF THEM.IMPOSSIBE TO KEEP A DRY EYE! "THAT SAME CONVERSATION" REVISITED.
I like how you do your harmonies. Give those guys a raise.
how cool is this, and it is such a nifty way to blame our troubles on the bad guys who run everything (those bastards)
This is GREAT! You're making me hungry.
That's really great. Very well told! You had me riveted!
I like the fun feel to this and the guitar. Norway does amazing burgers. Pizza too! Just saying!
Such a poignant and realistic song. Love your vocal and lyric!
Oh! happy birthday Levi!
Ha, you hit the heights vocally here! Rockin good!
Love the honky tonk feel and the melody. Oooo, who can whistle then! I think I'll make some tea!
Ah, short but most effective!
