A lifetime of laughter when you were just kids
And all that came after the silly things you both did
Those times are long, long gone like they ran off and hid
Then the world got bigger with other places to play
And getting so caught up in…

Everywhere I go, there's so much noise
They try to tell you you'll be fine if you purchase their new toys
But nothing on this Earth I've ever found
Can bring me back to life when the world's run me down
When nothing else can make it right…
The first lines of the chorus just crept into my head.
I had to write the rest.
ALL IN
You've been holding back for so long now
And I've been losing track of how many times I've written my vows
It feels like you're sleeping behind the…

Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…
The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…
I met a buddy out for dinner
To catch up on our lives
Both way less saint and way more sinner
At least, according to our wives
But as he got himself a-talking
He sounded more and more insane
What he believed became so shocking
For who…
I keep searching for a sign
From the other side
To keep my hope alive
Trying to walk the line
God knows how hard I've tried
Don't know if I'll survive
Gotta let it slide
Man, these are trying times
If you attempt to fly
You wind up…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
The finished product! Oldest daughter shines!
We don't always see eye to eye
And there are some days I don't know how we get by
We spend so much time caught in the race
Gotta slow down the pace
When did the river get so wide
All I thought…
Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…
If I told you how well I know you
Would you tell me it's not true
Have you got yourself believing
No one could know you like I do
I know it's been a long time coming
So many others you thought would treat you right
But I'm gonna show you…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold

So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?
I…
Analyze analytical actions I suppose
Formatting frustration fickle fascination falls
Recite riddles maybe, or measure many moves
Controlling correct posture
Pulsing perpendicular
(Chorus)
I know to some degree the source of the lyrical…
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…
This is ridiculously good. I've been asking myself lately where I've heard this amazing song before, and I keep having to remind myself it was earlier this February. It has taken a place in my mind as something I've heard on the radio. It's that good.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff

This is a dynamite Keith Landry vocal.
Great sound on this, lots of space. Love the call and response outro. Excellent EP, Keith!
Love the guitar sound on this, crisp and clear. Heartbreaking lyrics.
Heartfelt and poetic, nicely done!
Really well done Keith. Nice use of space in the music. Smooth vocals as well.
Merry Christmas
Nice work, Keith.
Excellente!
Perfection again.
Perfection.
This is something I've experienced as well. And have used that in a song too! Great job, btw.
oh yes!! This is great. Beautiful voice you have (and cool guitar). The bridge is perfect....love that guitar. Congrats on your RPM :)
Great stuff Keith!
Very nice, one of my favorites of yours!
Great song. Lovely father-daughter harmonies. You’re a lucky man, Mr. Landry.
Sooooooooooooo good! I am freaking out over this song.
Another great tune just begging for a full band treatment.
Someone needs to give this a full band treatment. You have a serious pop vibe working here.
Excellent polished sound here, Keith.

Yup, this is my favorite song on the album (well, at least so far - I've got three tracks left)!
Oh, yes. This is niiiiiiiiice.
Soooo good to hear new stuff from you! Settling in for some MTC goodness right now!!!
Oh, yes. this is sooooooooooooooo good.
Outstanding.
Oh, this is masterfully played. Just lovely.
Okay, this is just beyond lovely.
Dude, this is great! Looooooove the energy!
Well, this is lovely!
Dude, I'm firing up a new project if you want to join in the mayhem!
Ahhhhhhh... This very much satisfies my Gary Fox fix.
Dang. Ass kicking right from the rip. Sooooo damn good.
Happy to see people digging this simple arrangement with harmonized vocals. I happen to love it as well, so thanks, gang!
Brilliant from the first note. My jealousy for your guitar skill knows no bounds. A masterful album, my friend.
LOVE this.
This is lovely.
Loved this song from the first note I heard at the start of the month. So beautifully arranged.
Dang. Just masterful songwriting, musicianship, vocal talent, production quality.
This is absurdly good. Reminds me of Maine folk singer/songwriter Jud Caswell. Just beautiful. And that chorus. Oh my.
