The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Last Track of the Album...
Well...
This is the perfect closing tune......
As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me...
The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have†(Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs!
That’s what it ever should be about bro!
I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life..
Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation.
One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third...
I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works..
There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article!
No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from...
I wrote “Arise†after listening to one of your tracks...
I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!â€
I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me...
It Aint a bad way to be bro.
Thanks for a great Album!
Peace

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"
Wrote it over a decade ago, rewrote it five years ago, recorded it last year with the help of little sis Karen.
"I'm not supposed to be down south. Take me north."

To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
Great Song!
My Pa Had secret talents like that...
Sure and steady... But sure to work!
Taught me a thing about how to be a Dad...
Keep your cards close... And Never share the secret till the kid works it out for himself!
Great song!
Written for my youngest when she was very little, almost everyone who's had a kid that just would rather not sleep can identify with this song. Originally, there was a line in there about "Staying up this late at night makes me consider drinking…
I have a track called "Kin"...
I wrote it when the boy was going through "that time"...
"Kin" represented us all.. Three guitar lines. Me, the boy and his Ma...
I used to play it to him so he would sleep..
It worked... And made me realize how we would fit into each others lives..
This track brought back memories bro.
Thanks for that..
This track is eternal!
I used to cross over railway tracks on my way to the ballfield in college, and though I never knew why, I was always tempted to just start following them.
Sweet guitar bro!
I'm sure you recorded this live!
The complicated riffs only come in when you stop singing! I do the same!
Do You perform live?
I bet it would be awesome to see!
Faved!
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
Hell yeah!
This track is Gold bro!
The true spirit of song writing...
Share lessons learned... Try and Help!
Another point about your songs..
A four minute song is a pleasure to listen to! That is hard to do bro! And you pull it off effortlesly!
The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"

Stunning Album!!
A perfect pick up tune for realists!!!
Love the Instrumental Break at 1.20 where you just stop and play!
So Organic!
Thats what I Love about Your stuff!
Honest as the day is long!
Another Fave!
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…
10 seconds in....
And the track has got me bro...
The Subject matter is Perfectly expressed...
But the performance bro...!!!!
You Don't stumble once!
Perfection......
Was this recorded live?
From what I have heard of your stuff, I can honestly say that your material rates as high with me as any pro that I may have purchased a CD from...
And the best thing about this is that it's free!
Awesome Mr Landry..
Awesome..
This is Superb Bro...
I hope/pray that I get to your level one day!
Such a Perfect song.
Awesome!
I bet it is great Live!
I just noticed that you have a Ton Of songs I haven't listened to...
Well..
No Time like the present...
It is Keith Landry night in East London!
This is Faved by the way!
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…
Just caught this off your acoustic compilation album, Sis - Fabulous tune! The vocals are absolute money - I got a chuckle from your denial of reverb comment, but they truly sound perfect this way.
Awsome songwriting, awesome tune - Love it!
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?
God this brings me right back to advo. Givin me hope that it'll all be back soon. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for school to start again. See you in 26 days (cuz it's almost midnight).

Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

Nothing special, the last track I wrote and recorded for this unfinished CD.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!
"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
When my daughter and I use to play computer games on the Sinclar Spectrum. ( One Kilobyte). Many years ago we combined our names Samantha And Dad, Hence Samadad.
Wow... Very nice on this one Brian. Incredibly clean, just beautiful progressions... Makes me realize just how much I still need to learn about the guitar.

Comments made by Keith Landry
GREAT song... What a feel to this one.
Very cool... I'm amazed by how you can play different tunings so smoothly. Just great stuff, Kavin. Damn, what a sound.
This is great! I'm a big fan of blatant anything... And even better when it's well played!
Great track, Colin! To think it was a part of the 24-hour challenge is mind-blowing!
Beautifully delicate piece, Richard!
Great track!
Very nice! How do you record your guitar to get such a clean sound?
Love that slide!!! I bow to the master.
Damn, this song is just plain beautiful... Everything I hope I can be someday as a guitarist (and know that I never will). Incredible stuff, Kirk!
Just more incredible stuff!
Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!
All right... So I closed the album with the fun songs (note to self... next time START the album with the fun songs).
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.
Ahhhhh... One of the all-time-great songs!
Wow, Rick, this is great stuff!
Wow. Right from the opening, this song is just beautifully played. Great work, guys!
Verrrrrrry nice!
This is great! It takes a special kind of healthy crazy to let it all out in a tambourine solo!
Great track!
Wow... Very nice on this one Brian. Incredibly clean, just beautiful progressions... Makes me realize just how much I still need to learn about the guitar.
