A song for my daughter.
My blue-eyed girl
Living in your blue-sky world
I'll do my best to keep the clouds away
Life is better on a sunny day
Smooth the road out where you go
Let your light shine and watch you grow
Believe it or not, this track was written as a pretty tame little song... Then I put new strings on the guitar and it simply refused to be played slow. Enjoy it for the drive and energy. Listen to the lyrics. For whatever reason, I hope you…
F*ck Yeah!!!!!
This is where the Sauce is at Bro!
The arrangement is Amazing!
"dark just before the Dawn"
Love the Feeling of redemption and Victory in this track! And I Love the way You use the dark times to highlight the Good!
F*cking superb track!
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."
Real emotional and honest track bro...
Mortality is a subject you have tackled well here.
Sublime Mr Landry.
I love the connection you have with nature in your music. It really creates a counterpoint to put against the subject which defines it so clearly.

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
I find it heard to write straight up love songs like this.
Takes a lot to stop them sounding Cheesy.
This has a distinct lack of cheese.
It's SUBLIME!
Like all your songs, there is a deep resolve and appriciation for life entrenched in the writing.
Quality Bro! Quality!
My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I'm turning thirty-five…
Drop D always makes for a song that means business!
This sure does!
Again... This song is Majestic!!
Love those drums!!!!!!!!!!!
The Just weave in and out of the Guitar to the extent they become one.
Totally Awesome!
Faved.
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
It's Landry night again!
Yep... From the opening notes, I see this Album is gonna be a good one!
I love that Chord progression. It is one that Always sounds different depending who plays them. I got a song called "on the fence" that follows them... But not as majestic as this!!!!
Love the bridge to the chorus!
Lyrics suit the Awesome feel of the song!
I'll be walking this trail bro...Great Opener!!

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…
Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
The RPM veteran’s committee, aka Town Counsel is a group of small town bureaucrats hell-bent on world domination and/or making fun songs. This particular track was a musical game of “telephone” where each counselor added a part to a previously…
It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.
I need a b-side songs for the flip side
A b-side song to prove that I tried
To put in the effort, to get things done
To try to…
I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…
Well, now. This is OUTSTANDING. It seems like this was the year for "get one song done to keep the streak alive." A damn good little track. Yeah. Fifteen years. Pretty amazing, my friend.
“Party Fears Two” acoustic cover recorded live for an equipment test (cheap and old Rogue guitar, built-in microphone on Pixel 4a cell phone). Piano riff added on GarageBand.

The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M.
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

Your Daughter is a Lucky Person. There is so much love and protection in this Track. Awesome bro. What an awesome thing to give to your child!
Your Tunes are so full of hope my friend. I sense that you write to help others. That is a great thing. Love the Carefree "Na na na's" by the way.

I wish I could strum like that, I'm rubbish. I like your little glitches and the laughes that follow. Yeah, looking forward to it!
Nice mate really enjoyed this one.
Anytime you need some bass let me know. I'm always ready for a collab. I've been playing bass more and more these days, and love it.
Nice change ups Keith. Diggin it ;)
Another in a long list of songs I wished I'd written. Well done, both of you. ER
wholesome downhome country feel...very sweet.
