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."
I love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
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…

This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
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"
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…
"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…
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."
Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!
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.
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

This is probably my last track for this year's RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I'm kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of…
Outstanding track, Doug!... I couldn't even conceive of the kinds of sounds that must be in your head if this isn't it... You really are on a higher plane of music my friend.

So I'm eating fish and chips at an Irish restaurant waiting to play an open mic in Saratoga over at…
I truly apologize for the roughness of this song, but I'm testing to see if the best way to motivate myself to finish something off properly is to have something REALLY rough up here... So I can replace it QUICKLY with something done right.

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

This is such a wonderfully uplifting spring-morning playlist. We've all enjoyed your beautiful sounds this morning.
This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
