A simple as it is musically, this song pretty much sums it all up for me. What started as the simple appreciation of a hiking t-shirt evolved into this song about the duality of this domesticated artist who recognizes the importance of wandering…
A song for my daughter.
My blue-eyed girl
Living in your blue-sky world
I'll do my best to keep the clouds away
Life is better on a sunny day
Smooth the road out where you go
Let your light shine and watch you grow
Believe it or not, this track was written as a pretty tame little song... Then I put new strings on the guitar and it simply refused to be played slow. Enjoy it for the drive and energy. Listen to the lyrics. For whatever reason, I hope you…
F*ck Yeah!!!!!
This is where the Sauce is at Bro!
The arrangement is Amazing!
"dark just before the Dawn"
Love the Feeling of redemption and Victory in this track! And I Love the way You use the dark times to highlight the Good!
F*cking superb track!
My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."
Real emotional and honest track bro...
Mortality is a subject you have tackled well here.
Sublime Mr Landry.
I love the connection you have with nature in your music. It really creates a counterpoint to put against the subject which defines it so clearly.

Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
I find it heard to write straight up love songs like this.
Takes a lot to stop them sounding Cheesy.
This has a distinct lack of cheese.
It's SUBLIME!
Like all your songs, there is a deep resolve and appriciation for life entrenched in the writing.
Quality Bro! Quality!
My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I'm turning thirty-five…
Drop D always makes for a song that means business!
This sure does!
Again... This song is Majestic!!
Love those drums!!!!!!!!!!!
The Just weave in and out of the Guitar to the extent they become one.
Totally Awesome!
Faved.
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?
It's Landry night again!
Yep... From the opening notes, I see this Album is gonna be a good one!
I love that Chord progression. It is one that Always sounds different depending who plays them. I got a song called "on the fence" that follows them... But not as majestic as this!!!!
Love the bridge to the chorus!
Lyrics suit the Awesome feel of the song!
I'll be walking this trail bro...Great Opener!!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…

Reminds us all that music should be fun!
Peace bro!

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.

A big…
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.

That was fun. Looking forward to the finished tune!
I wish I could strum like that, I'm rubbish. I like your little glitches and the laughes that follow. Yeah, looking forward to it!
Nice mate really enjoyed this one.
Anytime you need some bass let me know. I'm always ready for a collab. I've been playing bass more and more these days, and love it.
Nice change ups Keith. Diggin it ;)
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!
