Nice, thanks for pointing me to this! Love introspective/recursive songwriting. Love the reference to 29 days this year...I played the artistic license on calling my 2012 track "28 Days"
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
I'm loving this album, Keith... Having already heard a few tracks in isolation during the madness of February, the complete picture is stunning. A breezy playist I will return to again and again.

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.

Your vocal is bewitching here and yes, the stripped down arrangement showcases your wonderful lyrics. Perfect delivery...live or otherwise! Class act, Mr Landry.

I enjoyed this thoroughly, and as for the "guest" and his moronic comment... He has no understanding of that which he is listening. It’s sad when the idiots of the world run around giving their uninformed, unfounded, and just plain stupid opinions - all while maintaining anonymity. Go to hell, guest. Please, go to hell.
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".

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…

Lin Manuel Miranda has nothing on you. Damn.
OUTSTANDING FROM THE FIRST NOTE. Holy crap, Matt. This is incredible.
Seriously, this is indi film soundtrack gold.
Dude, I love this from the get.

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.
