Cut-off jeans, your eyes shining in the sun
You were looking for a good time, I was looking for "The One"
Crazy dreams, when hours never seemed too late
You believed in lucky breaks and I believed in fate
I thought the only love was true…
If I just slip the car in drive
I'll meet you on the other side
Or maybe I could turn back time
And we could both pretend to fly
Losing feeling inside out
No sense kneeling, no such doubt
Failed at saving, nothing lasts
Just repaving…
She stands alone in my mind
She'll make it home in her own time
I've always known that she's not mine
She gets closer to the line
Then turns and walks away
Breaks out the wine
Don't know how she survived another day
My Pepere was born before the great war
To God-fearing parents in Maine
Where the simplest of rules taught in Catholic schools
Was don't use the Lord's name in vain
Every day in that school, he'd adhere to that rule
But a loophole he often…
O my brother
Where did you go?
Down to the river
To beg for your soul?
Did anyone see you?
Did you go there alone?
What did you offer
For one of their stones?
O my brother
Is there any way out?
Of the deal they offered?
Did they leave…
I don't know
Where it comes from
Or where it goes
Just wait until it shows
You can't hold it
Too long
Then it's gone
The air off the water
The fire in your soul
A lucky man's daughter
Come in from the cold
I keep my heart open…
She stands alone in my mind
She'll make it home in her own time
I've always known that she's not mine
She gets closer to the line
Then turns and walks away
Breaks out the wine
Don't know how she survived another day
Put the phone down
Shut the cable and the lights
We're alone now
Step with me into the night
I found the candles
It really wasn't all that hard
Kick off your sandals
Tonight we dine under the stars
Don't let the moments slip away
They…
So you wanted your freedom
What from the past were you willing to take?
I'm sure you had your reasons
Too many promises you swore you'd never break
The world that you know is not coming back
Maybe it's time you start burning the tracks…
Cut-off jeans, your eyes shining in the sun
You were looking for a good time, I was looking for "The One"
Crazy dreams, when hours never seemed too late
You believed in lucky breaks and I believed in fate
I thought the only love was true…
If I just slip the car in drive
I'll meet you on the other side
Or maybe I could turn back time
And we could both pretend to fly
Losing feeling inside out
No sense kneeling, no such doubt
Failed at saving, nothing lasts
Just repaving…
I know why you love The Starry Night
I know why you weren't all right
I know why you couldn't stay
I know why you're here today
I know why you couldn't see
I know why, 'cuz you were me
I know why you loved to paint in blue
I know why…
If I just slip the car in drive
I'll meet you on the other side
Or maybe I could turn back time
And we could both pretend to fly
Losing feeling inside out
No sense kneeling, no such doubt
Failed at saving, nothing lasts

Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…

Had a bad day when I wrote this.
There is a rule I stick by though.
"Divert and sublimate your anger and potentially virulent emotions to creative energy"
So I did..
Picked up the Kay G101 and pressed record on the iPhone voice memo…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
This is a beautiful song from Joni Mitchell. My friend had his 50th birthday and this was my gift, I played it live at his party and recorded it later (4-2-2011)in my livingroom.
It's one take, can't mis that if you listen to it all the way…
Oh my, Inge... That soulful voice of yours is just outstanding... Soothing, almost healing. So happy to hear a new track from you! Please, please, please keep them coming.
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…

Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Great song, love the lyrics.
Great song, Keith, I love the structure and counterpoint you used here.
delicate. Great tune Keith
Story telling brilliance!
Hot summer dusk. Beautiful.
Love the interplay between the music and the vocal melody - paints a powerful picture. Timeless.
Oh I love this - gorgeous playing, beautiful vocal, wonderful sentiment.
Dreamy!
Love the mood your guitar conjures here - very peaceful, sleepy, candley.
Sounds like true life experience coming through here - brilliantly performed. Really liking this conspiratorial vox.
Wonderful young love anthem - breezy feel is blooming beautiful.
"And we could both pretend to fly" - wow, what a lyric. Gorgeous opener!
Happy to see people digging this simple arrangement with harmonized vocals. I happen to love it as well, so thanks, gang!
Excellent. I really like this.
Excellent!
What a great collection, Keith. Magnificent.
I don't have words to describe how good this is.
Yeah, I love this one.
I love the warm, upfront sound of this. Great song!
Brilliant, my friend.
Comments made by Keith Landry
Man, I wish I could make sounds like this. Room-filling. Damn.
Magnificent and truthful songwriting. This is about as good as it gets.
Faved at 0:01. Your signature style is just outstanding, T!
GREAT track, T!
Oh my. Faved at about 0:08.
Oh my, Inge... That soulful voice of yours is just outstanding... Soothing, almost healing. So happy to hear a new track from you! Please, please, please keep them coming.
Oh, what a voice. Heart-melting harmonies through the bridge.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I came by to listen to this track. How and why have I deprived myself for so long?
Faved instantly. Great listening.
Verrrrrrry cool. I would love to get into that creative mind to find out how stuff like this is born.
Definitely one of your best. Great clean sound, signature harmonies, radio ready. Outstanding.
Ooooooooh... this is NICE!
I know when to go minimalist and stay out of the way of guitar excellence!
Jim's a genius.

LOVE that signature Kavin slide!
Damn. How have I missed this playlist for so long?
Faved at 0:08. Perfectly mellow guitar work, with every string perfectly in place.
Outstanding songwriting, performing, and arrangement once again.
Great track right from the opening notes. Love the arrangement (that ringing mandolin is perfectly used). A bit more attention to cleanly-hit vocals for the higher notes would have this song radio-ready. GREAT song.
