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…

"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
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
My son recorded this.

A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
A tribute song to the unofficial mayor of Portsmouth New Hampshire. If you're in town, stop by The Press Room and say "hi".
lyrics
Master of music
King of the blues
Shakespearian insults
A well-rounded dude
Legend says he’s six foot…
You start off watching a TV show. You end up with a song.
lyrics
Another night alone, sitting with myself
Thinking of how it used to be
I try to distract myself
Flipping through channels on TV
I come upon you there
Staring back at…
This is a tune inspired by the words of Hafiz.
lyrics:
As i sleep and wander in my dreams
you are here, keeping watch over me
and i feel your lips upon my head
and a fire flickering inside my body
My cover of Klandry's song, "Seven Weeks." I took some liberties due to the frustrations of my technical limitations.
I’ve been living like a poor man
Lying on my back day after day
Waking up wearing the same old clothes
Lying on my…
I've got nothing there
Nothing here to share either
Plenty of ideas
But nothing ripe enough to root down
I'm grounded
And nothing flys
Nothing flys by me (2x)
I recognize that tank's empty
In a pool of fuel
But the thoughts I accuse…
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…
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…

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.

Whoever this "guest" is, he's a jerk.
Oh, very will done!
This is exactly what the world needed.
Man, everything you make is a favorite of mine.
Bowie would be jealous. This is OUTSTANDING.
Very nice, Tim. Very nice.
You need help. I'm glad you're not getting it.
Brilliant!
This is a gem of a track, Tim!
I was in from the opening note.
Wow. This is terrific!
Oh, this is pure magic.
Oh, this is WAY too cool.
This had me two notes in.
Dude, I love this song. This is about as genuine as it gets. What chords are you playing? Is the capo on? I may need to cover this.
Oh hell yes.
Crazy blend of styles. Instant fave.
...I may need to cover this track someday. So friggin good. Maybe your strongest vocals ever.
Such a gem, this track. Crazy good opening riff. Every time I hear this, I wish I'd written it... And I sure as hell wished I'd sung it.
Where has this been hiding. I may need to go delving into the Fox deep track stacks.
