So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
The title track. At one point I had visions of everyone singing at the end of the album (and thank you to those of you that did), but I just couldn't get it to sound right (I don't really know what I'm doing after all). So instead of voices…
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed.
I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual!

Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Sometimes, all you need to do is decide that you're gonna save yourself.
COMING UP OVER THE RISE
So low I couldn't see the skies
The shadows had me hypnotized
Climbing high, sun in my eyes
I was down, but now I'm coming up over the rise…

Windows down, my baby by my side

This song just completely turned my day around. Very simple and cheerful, and still leaves me feeling a bit of inspiration and optimism. Good work, Keith.

Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.

Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…

My heart will miss a beat
Each time
I see your pain
I know this is the end
But I
Will fight this tide
The battle is complete
Both sides
Have won this time
I will remember you
So proud…
We Didn't Get Time to do this in Norway.
Geir put down great the Guitars.
I took the Vox and Lyrics...
This is called "Your Heart"
-Your Heart-
Your shout is silent now
It feels I’m missing out
This void is lasting evermore…
This song described my co-workers at one company during a temporary assignment. I won't mention the company for fear of being sued, but you get the idea what they were like.

This is my first musical expedition into the midi keyboard. Having never played the piano its a fun learning experience. Thanks to Norm for lending me Stinkbug!
Very cool. So this is what music sounds like when you're just learning something new, Rick. I can't wait to hear when you really know what you're doing!
Steve and I on a Sunday afternoon jam. haven't changed it a lick. Minimally processed it. I liked the openess of it, so I left it alone. Went to Crater Lake, and found this songs home. Played it to the stars the moon and the waters, as the moon…

Sounds lovely Keith. Very nice!
Wow! How did I miss this? Great stuff Keith!
You could sing the phone book, and I'd probably be amazed. I hear elements of Garth Brooks, Don McLean, and - of course - a lot of original Keith Landry in this song. Great work, as usual! Regards, Steffen

This one had me at 15 seconds or so... How have I not run into your music before today?!?! Every track has its own great sound.
Thanks, Bee, for bringing FTB to the front page! This is great stuff... I may need to have a FTB listening night later this week!
Excellent track! Great songwriting!
Hey Tharek, I'm at KeithLandryAcoustic@gmail.com I'd love to hear anything you have in mind! Keith
...And just back to listen to this perfect little song.
Absurdly good. These Irish reels of yours are just outstanding!
Very nicely arranged, ER! Cool track, sir! Oh yes, just hit the chorus. Been listening to dozens of your tracks, and this may be the best one yet.
"The morality field lies fallow"... Great line! "Just enough to feed me and my cat"... This is a very well crafted commentary on the working world.
This is a great track, ER! Definitely one of your best.
Wow... Just outstanding.
So nice. You get a great sound out of those six strings, sir.
Very cool. So this is what music sounds like when you're just learning something new, Rick. I can't wait to hear when you really know what you're doing!
Just outstanding. I'm always in awe of the musical talent here on Alonetone, and this is right at the top.
As always, great delivery... Very nice song and soooo listenable!
Outstanding... So so so true.
Great track, Tharek!
This is such a great track as well... So damn pure.
Just dropping back in to listen to this perfect little song.
