The frames hang on the wall
We so often walk by
And don't notice at all
The world was still new
There's a light in your eyes
Back before we all grew
Close the window
It's getting cold
Or maybe I'm just getting old
There's a promise…

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…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
Well, soon the new EP will be complete, featuring Jessica (the REAL talent in the family), but as with earlier songs, I thought y'all might like to hear what it sounded like when it first entered the world.
Meet me at The Narrows, ya'll.

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."
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."
Well, I had to swear SOMEWHERE in the album.
GIRLS LIKE YOU
You’re young and pretty
Shy and smart and witty
With a face that could’ve
Launched a thousand ships
Tall, dark, and stupid
He must’ve paid off cupid
To get his ugly face…
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"
Yes, I really did see the old Ford years later.

Great track... Rings so true.
I have been there my friend, and man does this song hit home so perfectly! And the outstanding upbeat nature of the song is just a perfect counterpoint to the harsh sentiments of the insane person.
I wrote this one after visiting my daughter in Daytona Beach and seeing all the homeless people ,I live in a small town in central NY I had never seen homeless people before it was a shock
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....

REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through.
Well done!

Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")...
I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right.
A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion).
Where's the after party!
Once upon a rainy day, we were out in the farm fields waiting on the sun to break through the gloom. We arrived in this dark world naked and were washed clean waiting for the sun. Little darling, here it comes...
I can always count on a little slice of perfection from Peter... Perfectly crafted song, my friend! I truly envy your mastery of your voice, virtuosity with your instruments, and flawless ear for arrangement.
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…
Hey superstar! So glad to see this one posted on your page!... I'll be finding some time in the coming weeks to record yet another version (with my vocals alongside yours), but I don't think I could possibly top Willem's!
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
(@Reefwalker) I may go back and record a different version with the two of us singing together. It is daunting to try to keep up with her incredible vocal talents, though!
Corbin,
Just swinging by again to have a listen to this little piece of perfection. Hey, how many of the instruments are you playing on this? I'd love to hear the recording process for this song. It truly is one of the most perfectly crafted, arranged, and performed songs I have ever heard.
Be good and keep charging toward greatness!
Keith
My oldest is a serious mountain hiker, herself. I'll be playing this beautiful song for her later... If you want to hear my version of a hiking song (a day with my middle and youngest when they were really little), come on over for a listen!

I've got a bunch of other songs over there written about hiking in the mountains... But none so tremendously arranged as this gem of yours.
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve.
OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Pssst...check the lyrics. There's a typo.
This is so lovely. I like the chord changes. w;)
She has such a great tone - pure and distinct.! You guys sound amazing together too (The Narrows being a prime example).
Oh my, she has a wonderful voice - excellent tone. You sound amazing together. How wonderful.
Did you know this is on my all time favorites list? I'm not just talking about indie musicians, I'm talking any musician. I. LOVE. THIS.
Quite nice,,wonderful to share the love of music, well done
Excellent. Great tune, melody, harmony, guitar sound, etc. Thumbs up, sir.
Beautiful
I know where your coming from a beauty of a song .....
How could I have missed this? Beautiful! w;-)
I love this chord progression.
Really nice... I like the peaceful feel. Good luck with the EP!
You can write songs about anything and anybody, and they will always make sense and sound great! :)
Beautiful, like all your songs!
This is beautiful
Very nice acoustic style ballad with a suitably fine vocal performance - thumbs up from Croonesville!
One of the best songs I've ever heard on music portals. I've listened to it a lot, and I still love it.
Missed this one too? The lyrics are fantastic. Well done, Keith!
How did I miss this? Great song Keith! w-)
Awesome Keith! Love the band! really sounding good!

Excellent arrangement!!! Love the acoustic sound. Faved when that third guitar dropped in at just the right time.
Faved for Kavin's slide guitar goodness!
How the hell did I miss this one! I gotta get my head out of my ass and swing by the osckilo part of the world more often! Well done, my friend!
REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through. Well done!

Faved instantly!
I'm always blown away by what comes out of your mind, through your hands, in into a microphone. Such good sounds... Always such good sounds.
Oh goodness... How have I missed this all this time?!?!?! AMAZING.
My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.
Faved instantly.
Very nice haunting arrangement. Love the guitar coming in at around 1:20-ish. Really deftly handled orchestration throughout.
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve. OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
