DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn

Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Borrowed Keith Landry's dynamic acoustic guitar part to help me write the most personal song I've ever written. Recorded last February for the RPM challenge, but didn't feel right putting it up until now.
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…
Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.
A love song about fate.
Tim - guitar and vocal.
Before I knew you I felt the gravity
Something beyond control I knew was pulling me
Binding us together in ways I couldn’t see
And i would come to know there was only you for me (you for…
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis.
Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
Finally remembered to log in (yeah, the comments on the other tracks were me). I always do especially love the stripped-down singer-songwriter tracks. This is one of the best.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
That's a nice one Keith! Love the way you vary the guitar part.
A departure on the intro guitar,really liked the instrumental contrast.
This is intimate, I felt intrusive just listening, Wow two of my faved people making me blush
Lovely tone, Mr Landry. Perfect choice for a cover - beautiful.
Beautiful lyrics, so tenderly sung. Good choice of cover.
great song! great cover!
Very nice!
1. Yes it can. 2. :) 3. To true. 4. We are always learning, everyday. This is a great version. Go man go.
Superb Keith! Great interpretation !!!!!
Exquisite...
Nice light-hearted tune
Lovely stuff Keith!
Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.
Real creative sounds. Solid gold storytelling as usual.
Excellent!
Great stuff Keith! Love that percussion!
Nice knife work!
Good to see a new track up from you buddy. Take care :)
I love this! The percussion is great! Put a big smile on my face! w;-)
The lyrics speak to me bro! Superb track!! Are you hitting the bottles with a knife?

Oh, there's the love.
Oh, hell yes.
Love it! Man, I was just thinking about your stuff... Mentioned you over at RPM a couple of days ago. Always blown away by your arrangements.
Ah.... I needed this.
This should be on the radio. Period.
Lovely.
Dude. Sooooooo good.
Faved instantly
This is just crazy good. I wish I'd written it.
Man, we need to find a way to stop time. I suspect a month outside of reality would yield some pretty amazing music if we got all of our musical cronies together in a studio house in the mountains.
Awaiting the all Letter Seventeen all-acoustic singer/songwriter album.
Just back for another listen to this piece of awsomeness.
Mic drop. Rap battle O.V.E.R.
You need help. But please please please don't ever seek it.
Ah. Love that chord progression. I await an album full of these songs. Then again, that would likely make the world would fly off its axis. Seriously, man, first rate all the way.
Dude, your vocals are spot on. Really impressed.
Ah, love that Andy Samford lead guitar. Crazy good as always.
Yes. I am home.
GREAT arrangement.
