Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn
The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."
A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…
A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned.
I have a great idea up in my head
Let's try it out this afternoon
We'll tie the dog up to the sled
Pretend we're launching…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen?
A Little Playing
Blue sky
Only getting clearer
Blue eyes
Like looking in a mirror
I can tell just what you're thinking
By that tiny little flicker…
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
Three years ago, I brought my two youngest up to the summit of a local mountain (actually, we went up Shelving Rock Mountain, but that song wouldn't be as good). Have a listen to see how that hike went.

My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
Just a little cover tune I did in preparation for last year's live RPM Challenge album "Letters."
Nylon string Yamaha travel guitar, vocals, and one mic... Missed notes and all.

I write letters that I have
no intention of sending
I tell stories that wander on
without an ending
I have never really gotten done
with anything
but I am finished with you
I keep water boiling
til the cooking pot runs dry…
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation
quiet down now, world
bring the lights down, world
we're going to paint a little
pitch black moment
hush those city lights
those neon lullabies
we're off and dreaming with our
eyes wide open…
RPM 2013
Wearing your Favorite shirt
Missing you
Til it hurts
I'm seeing your name in
the Street signs
And the stoplights
Wishing for
Where you are
Reaching out
In the dark
I'm touching the pillow
But you're not there
And it…
Oh, that voice. Every time I hear it sing a new song, it's like the first time I ever heard it... But somehow, this song really shines vocally.
Soooooooo good.
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation collab
time trickles in
defenses wear thin
these holes in our armor
grow larger each day
steel-edged chills
come in close for the kill
the line in the sand
has been trampled away
it's so wrong…
RPM 2013 feat. Keith Landry guitar collab
there is a crack
in the concrete of our wall
where the sun creeps into all
of the dark things that are
hanging in the silence
even the wind
seems too afraid to come inside
like it may know…
Ah... Just back to listen to my all-time favorite AD track.
This song is on such heavy rotation in the Landry vehicle that the kids harmonize during the chorus.

Ha! Glad I made the CD!
Incredible album. This final track is just beautiful. You have such a tremendous sound and gift for songwriting. Truly spectacular.
Beautiful. Really as good as it gets.
Faved immediately upon hearing that Dylan-esque harmonica.
Settling in for 36:17 of "wish I could sound like that" music! This opening track doesn't disappoint. Everything musically I wish I was.
Oh my. Just spectacular.
Ah... Just back to listen to my all-time favorite AD track. This song is on such heavy rotation in the Landry vehicle that the kids harmonize during the chorus.
This album is one hell of follow-up to Vines. First rate all the way.
Brilliant.
