So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
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…
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed.
I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual!

Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Sometimes, all you need to do is decide that you're gonna save yourself.
COMING UP OVER THE RISE
So low I couldn't see the skies
The shadows had me hypnotized
Climbing high, sun in my eyes
I was down, but now I'm coming up over the rise…

Windows down, my baby by my side

This song just completely turned my day around. Very simple and cheerful, and still leaves me feeling a bit of inspiration and optimism. Good work, Keith.

Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.

Sounds lovely Keith. Very nice!
Wow! How did I miss this? Great stuff Keith!

Comments made by Keith Landry
Damn. GREAT sound. Then again, why would I expect anything less?
Best song on the album (well, at least so far... I've got three tracks to go).
Faved within seconds. Classic Anchorage Drift... Edgy and melodic at the same time. Sooooooo good.
Damn. Perfectly arranged.
Ahhhhhh... Getting my Anchorage Drift fix.
Faved instantly. This. Is. Brilliant.
Faved instantly.
No words needed.
Jana and Andrea are just out-of-control good.
Faved instantly. After ten seconds, I wished I could fave it again.
Yeah, Gary's that good.
I had to fave it for Kavin's brilliant bass and slide work. I can't imagine this song without it.
Verrrrry nice, Richard... Captured the mood perfectly.
You're the best.
Ha! That's some edgy baby you're rocking to sleep.
Sounds excellent, Kavin!
Faved within ten seconds. Damn, that's good.
So my question is... Who's operating the lights?
I miss the dome. Those five years in Houston were good ones.
Hooray for unscripted!
