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…
This song has got me bro....
I feel Quite emtional listening to it!
The "My little girl was awful quiet" Verse reminds me of when the boy was a new born...
It's like a High definition Picture of Life.
You are an excellent Storey teller bro. And a True Tallent!
I'm Gonna be listening to this a lot!

What started as an interesting hiking concept that I contrived for my sister's next trip out "Hey, what if you climbed up Sleeping Beauty Mountain and I climbed up Shelving Rock. We could get out the binoculars and see each other from different…
Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…

Wonderful song, special words, Keith! Much more gentle than the actual words spoken by Morwenna, which were, 'Don't worry, you'll sleep after you've cried.' :-D

Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
As a 'guest' mentioned, add harmonies!
i'd love to hear this with a full band, lotsa energy needing a way out! I'd be tempted to pop this on my 32 track and add harmonies, makes me wish I had a drumkit (my favorite instrument to play!)
Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
Ah, my critical teenage piano player. Well, the music wouldn't get better if not for the constructive (or at times just needling) criticism!... And her suggestions are usually pretty accurate which is why I tend to defer to her on musical arrangements.

Yeah a little piano single-note melody would sound great. i tried it out. I just went along and stayed in the same range you did (basically) and i think that would fill up this song. You might be able to do it with a base guitar too...if it was soft enough
you got me analyzing and fixing your problems :P

Wow look at you getting fancy with your guitar melody!! And hey!! look at that, no more monotone!! much better. Though, there is something missing...I think a single note piano melody would fill up the whole there.

ooooooooooo...I LIKE THIS ONE!!
HAHAHHAA why are you so monotone??? you have an upbeat happy guitar and then you come in sounding like you've just been hit by a truck and can't move your vocal chords. with the except of the SAME high note here and there. Love the Lyrics tho. Just soften up your voice a little...maybe try harmonizing with the melody...something other than the same note over and over again.
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…

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Borrowed Keith Landry's dynamic acoustic guitar part to help me write the most personal song I've ever written. Recorded last February for the RPM challenge, but didn't feel right putting it up until now.
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…
Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.
A love song about fate.
Tim - guitar and vocal.
Before I knew you I felt the gravity
Something beyond control I knew was pulling me
Binding us together in ways I couldn’t see
And i would come to know there was only you for me (you for…
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis.
Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
Finally remembered to log in (yeah, the comments on the other tracks were me). I always do especially love the stripped-down singer-songwriter tracks. This is one of the best.

Stong work.
Super song writing man!
ahh the slow song. Awesome lyrics. I like this one, a little empty but nothing that a small extra melody can't fix. A-
I remember this song! You told me about it sometime...It came out pretty good! This is definitely one of my favorites. A- (what key is it in?..)
Hey, not bad. I actually really like it. Get get a B+ (i'd give you an A but its probably in the key of D)
Lovely job.
Wow man, bravo.
<3 and x x Wonderful song, special words, Keith! Much more gentle than the actual words spoken by Morwenna, which were, 'Don't worry, you'll sleep after you've cried.' :-D
What wonderful lyrics Keith. Lovely song indeed.
Great song, fantastic.
Awesome tune! Brings back memories of my own kids in BBall...;>) Thanks!

The new version is soooo much better. even though my part has been guitar-ized. and you still swear...
Super all round sound. Great song you got there and your own band now. Wahhoo!
Good mix, vocals are good, and like the "chunky" guitar and drums. All around good one.
Comments made by Keith Landry
Oh, there's the love.
Oh, hell yes.
Love it! Man, I was just thinking about your stuff... Mentioned you over at RPM a couple of days ago. Always blown away by your arrangements.
Ah.... I needed this.
This should be on the radio. Period.
Lovely.
Dude. Sooooooo good.
Faved instantly
This is just crazy good. I wish I'd written it.
Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.
Awaiting the all Letter Seventeen all-acoustic singer/songwriter album.
Just back for another listen to this piece of awsomeness.
Mic drop. Rap battle O.V.E.R.
You need help. But please please please don't ever seek it.
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis. Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
Dude, your vocals are spot on. Really impressed.
Ah, love that Andy Samford lead guitar. Crazy good as always.
Yes. I am home.
GREAT arrangement.
