The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake
'Cuz they might take you in your sleep
You wish that you could…
Heard something crawling in the walls this morning
Later on, I heard that fateful snap
The little critter never had a warning
I'll have to head on down to face the guilt that's waiting
When I check the trap
A pair of trees I planted in…
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…
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…
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…

I should've paid attention
When my buddy mentioned
The state of all the guys you'd left behind
You looked so young and wild
With that come-and-get-it smile
You'd taken over something in my mind
When we were together
I should've seen the…
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
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

No one could know you like I do

Oh crumbs. This is fabulous. Song, performance and production. I was planning on listening when working... but these tracks are DEMANDING attention. I'm gonna have to stop listening now - not getting any work done! I shall return later (possibly days not hours - I got songs to write too!)

So, my 2020 started with losing Bandit.
THE LAST LONG WALK
You woke me up at 4AM this morning
And told me that you had to see the sights
I'd read all the signs and heard the warnings
I couldn't put you through another night
So we walked…

Make there without you by my side
Something tells me that you knew you wouldn’t
Be with me later on the homeward drive"

Originally written for my sister going through 2020 hell, but man, it has applied to just about everyone by now. We'll get through it, gang. We'll get through it.

Where do you run to when you're trapped inside
Who do you…
Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
When my daughter and I use to play computer games on the Sinclar Spectrum. ( One Kilobyte). Many years ago we combined our names Samantha And Dad, Hence Samadad.
Wow... Very nice on this one Brian. Incredibly clean, just beautiful progressions... Makes me realize just how much I still need to learn about the guitar.
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'm glad you like this one so much, Tess. I actually wrote it for a friend of mine (a terrific girl) who'll be getting married next summer. I only see her once a year at her brother-in-law's Labor Day weekend party, and when I heard she was engaged, this song just came out... The sentiment could apply to any young girl, however... "You'll always be this young if love comes first and you stay filled with life."
A good friend of mine Harris Kidd filmed a short piece of work starring my other great friend (and my drummer) Zay Brignall, anywaaays he asked if I could make a soundtrack for it soooo I sat down and watched it over and over and started plunking…
Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…
Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Licensed for my new "Forever" CD by HFA this song is from "Prince of Persia". It's a song about having faith that all troubling things will turn out allright. All you have to do is believe it will.

Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
Again, apologies for the silence before this song gets going as well as for the inconsistent vocals... I hope the message overrides any lack of ability with respect to the song's execution.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Great track! Love the full instrumentation. You should open up your singing like this more often.
Wow... poignant.
Hummable and heartfelt.
Quite epic, great multitracked vocals. Thought provoking lyrics.
A Keith Landry album with drums and electric guitar!? Seriously though, great opener.
Really really beautiful! And those lyrics are great. Love your vocals (and you're obviously an awesome guitar player too!). Nice percussion Liam :)
Reminds me of one of favorite artists, Bob Seger .... love it ....
Top notch ...
Really, really good ...
Excellent .....
Great song ....
What a fantastic track .... first class ....
Nice vocal round at the end!
Oh crumbs. This is fabulous. Song, performance and production. I was planning on listening when working... but these tracks are DEMANDING attention. I'm gonna have to stop listening now - not getting any work done! I shall return later (possibly days not hours - I got songs to write too!)
Oh... gorgeous gorgeous sounds.
Awesome song. Love the lyrics and your vocals are great....nice phrasing. I also love the vocal overlays at the end!!!!!!
Just giving this track a little love - Andy and Liam pretty much crush it on this track.
Thank you for this song. We lost our Winnie on Monday night. 😢
"I let you ride up front because I couldn’t Make there without you by my side Something tells me that you knew you wouldn’t Be with me later on the homeward drive" In floods here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the gorgeous afternoon I've just spent listening to you telling your stories. A very beautiful album!
Comments made by Keith Landry
Wow. Right from the opening, this song is just beautifully played. Great work, guys!
Verrrrrrry nice!
This is great! It takes a special kind of healthy crazy to let it all out in a tambourine solo!
Great track!

Great sound! Very well done.
Very cool.
Just going through February's RPM Challenge songs... Upped the volume on the vocals a bit (hopefully not too much).
Very cool. I wish I was brave enough to try to cover music from the gods... You handle it beautifully!
Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.
Great song in every way!
Wow... Soooooooo good.
Wow... What a voice.
Big thanks to Kavin for making this song more than I could have possibly imagined with his incredible slide guitar.
Very nice. So great to find another great artist to follow!
Great track... I'd love to see the movie that goes with this soundtrack!
Again, apologies for the silence before this song gets going as well as for the inconsistent vocals... I hope the message overrides any lack of ability with respect to the song's execution.
Very nice... Will there be any words to go with this in time? Although it is great just asit is.
Magnificent track!
