DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
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

Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…

Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Hey Colin,
I'll be doing a ridiculous amount of downloading once I remove all the useless commercial musical crap from my iTunes. This track is outstanding. Man, what is in the water in Liverpool to create such great musicians, and can we please start bottling it and drinking it over here.

This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it on here.
I don't normally write out my lyrics, but…
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Inspired by a series of springs in the Hill Country, that are said to be so full of life that you can even see the ghosts. Or if you know the right time, the hummingbirds. A recent composition using samples and FS1R.
Haitian rhythm bed with kalimba and Ney and synthflute. Rejected for its original purpose as being 'too jazzy' ;)
The rhythmns and kalimba were old favorites that I had not adapted to anything. Added flute and textures for a website project…

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
That's a nice one Keith! Love the way you vary the guitar part.
A departure on the intro guitar,really liked the instrumental contrast.
This is intimate, I felt intrusive just listening, Wow two of my faved people making me blush
Lovely tone, Mr Landry. Perfect choice for a cover - beautiful.
Beautiful lyrics, so tenderly sung. Good choice of cover.

Very nice!
1. Yes it can. 2. :) 3. To true. 4. We are always learning, everyday. This is a great version. Go man go.
Superb Keith! Great interpretation !!!!!
Exquisite...
Nice light-hearted tune
Lovely stuff Keith!
Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.
Real creative sounds. Solid gold storytelling as usual.
Excellent!
Great stuff Keith! Love that percussion!
Nice knife work!
Good to see a new track up from you buddy. Take care :)
I love this! The percussion is great! Put a big smile on my face! w;-)

Great little ditty! I may need to learn to play this one.

Ooooh... Really nice.

I may need help, but damn I love this song!
Man, great version!!!
This is a verrrrrry good un.
Just great stuff.
Great track... As you might guess, I'm a big fan of well-played guitar!
Can't help but smile listening to this!
If I was, then you were definitely Woody in a previous life!!! This is great (like all your other stuff)
Another really great listen... I'll be tuning from time to time when I get the chance!
Very cool. I'm always impressed by ambient productions and layered instrumentation. Great listening!
Great sound!!! I will be listening a lot.
This is hysterical... and brilliantly demented!!! I love it!
Reeeeeeeally nice.
Love the brushes line!
Wow... Great track! Holy crap. This is what you have laying around? I've got mismatched socks. Seriously, this song is outstanding!
Love it! Can't help but smile listening to this.
