There’s a place in my mind where your face had a home
Long before you came into my life
Before you were a known
There’s a note in my song that I knew fit somewhere…
Tesla...maybe the smartest man that ever lived.
TESLA
Who invented remote control? TESLA
Who invented the fluorescent light? TESLA
Who invented the radio? TESLA
And who died alone and forgotten in 1943? TESLA
So, you say now, “Don’t…
Little did I know...
If you left me I wouldn't wanna talk
I'd put your sandals by the curb and I'd take a little walk
I'd buy a roll of paper towels and I'd soak up every tear
Hang it on the clothes line. Just watch them disappear

I never met Jesse,
but I heard her howl in the night,
but I heard her pups yelping for
whiter they yelp for. She was strong
and she was there. And in the Texas
night out on the prairie between
Lillian and Alvarado I could hear them
singing…

We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody
I kissed somebody…

BUTTER MOON
I heard this kid say the moon looked like a tortilla
Some people say they can see a man in the moon
But I know, if you look just right, you can see the face of Marylin Monroe
Yeah, when the moon first comes up it looks like a…

key - C
I’m clinging to the memories as the world falls apart
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
I’m clinging…
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 took her picture off the wall
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
I know with you that…
MOTHER'S EYES
I used to chide my mother
She saw the loss in every face
The cemetery. The old folks home
along the way
I used to laugh at Mother
She saw the pain in every eye
Now time has passed
and Mom is gone and here am I
And…
THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME

What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle

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.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Most beautifully done.
Look, I am trying to work through the mountain on my desk without laughing, but this is such fun.
What a super track! I want to compliment you on your backing vocals.
great production and concept - I'm with Bethan on this.
Especially enjoyed the music on this one. Niiice!
I like that. Yeah, not funny how things turn out!
Well, I have been trying to make a comment on Shoes but it won't let me. Odd! "Shoes" is certainly thought provoking.
Oh this is lovely.
Love the lyrics. I think they get better and better.
Well I'm sure it had nothing to do with this track. It's really cool.
Love the intimate atmosphere. Gorgeous melody and featured guitar.
Cute key for you JM! Querky little track!
I think every word is true. Love the raw backing and the bluesy feel.
I love the story here and the feel good factor! Brilliantly performed JM!
Excellent. Very clever.
Love the backing vocals on this. Very nice. ER
I like this. I thought like this as a teenager. There are a number of girls in high school who never knew I had a "thing" for them. Oh, well. ER
This idea is eternal, my friend. This is - the hope; this is - the bright path. Even after 28 years, even after ...
Call Neil! He'd like this one.
Kick A$$!

Wow. An amazing combination of emotions, all valid, each requiring the others to be recognized Robert Hayden
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...
Wanda Slusser-Mullens Love it. The lyrics are wonderful recipe for life.
Leslie Young I like it. But it’s sad.
Tina DeMaio This is a fun song
