The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Last Track of the Album...
Well...
This is the perfect closing tune......
As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me...
The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have†(Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs!
That’s what it ever should be about bro!
I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life..
Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation.
One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third...
I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works..
There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article!
No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from...
I wrote “Arise†after listening to one of your tracks...
I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!â€
I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me...
It Aint a bad way to be bro.
Thanks for a great Album!
Peace

Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
Wrote it over a decade ago, rewrote it five years ago, recorded it last year with the help of little sis Karen.
"I'm not supposed to be down south. Take me north."

To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
Great Song!
My Pa Had secret talents like that...
Sure and steady... But sure to work!
Taught me a thing about how to be a Dad...
Keep your cards close... And Never share the secret till the kid works it out for himself!
Great song!
Written for my youngest when she was very little, almost everyone who's had a kid that just would rather not sleep can identify with this song. Originally, there was a line in there about "Staying up this late at night makes me consider drinking…
I have a track called "Kin"...
I wrote it when the boy was going through "that time"...
"Kin" represented us all.. Three guitar lines. Me, the boy and his Ma...
I used to play it to him so he would sleep..
It worked... And made me realize how we would fit into each others lives..
This track brought back memories bro.
Thanks for that..
This track is eternal!
I used to cross over railway tracks on my way to the ballfield in college, and though I never knew why, I was always tempted to just start following them.
Sweet guitar bro!
I'm sure you recorded this live!
The complicated riffs only come in when you stop singing! I do the same!
Do You perform live?
I bet it would be awesome to see!
Faved!
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."
Hell yeah!
This track is Gold bro!
The true spirit of song writing...
Share lessons learned... Try and Help!
Another point about your songs..
A four minute song is a pleasure to listen to! That is hard to do bro! And you pull it off effortlesly!
The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"

Track Three.....
Stunning Album!!
A perfect pick up tune for realists!!!
Love the Instrumental Break at 1.20 where you just stop and play!
So Organic!
Thats what I Love about Your stuff!
Honest as the day is long!
Another Fave!
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…
10 seconds in....
And the track has got me bro...
The Subject matter is Perfectly expressed...
But the performance bro...!!!!
You Don't stumble once!
Perfection......
Was this recorded live?
From what I have heard of your stuff, I can honestly say that your material rates as high with me as any pro that I may have purchased a CD from...
And the best thing about this is that it's free!
Awesome Mr Landry..
Awesome..
This is Superb Bro...
I hope/pray that I get to your level one day!
Such a Perfect song.
Awesome!
I bet it is great Live!
I just noticed that you have a Ton Of songs I haven't listened to...
Well..
No Time like the present...
It is Keith Landry night in East London!
This is Faved by the way!
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…
Just caught this off your acoustic compilation album, Sis - Fabulous tune! The vocals are absolute money - I got a chuckle from your denial of reverb comment, but they truly sound perfect this way.
Awsome songwriting, awesome tune - Love it!
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?
God this brings me right back to advo. Givin me hope that it'll all be back soon. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for school to start again. See you in 26 days (cuz it's almost midnight).
-Britt (the one and only ;))
Great track... Rings so true.
I have been there my friend, and man does this song hit home so perfectly! And the outstanding upbeat nature of the song is just a perfect counterpoint to the harsh sentiments of the insane person.
I wrote this one after visiting my daughter in Daytona Beach and seeing all the homeless people ,I live in a small town in central NY I had never seen homeless people before it was a shock
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...

REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through.
Well done!

Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")...
I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right.
A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion).
Where's the after party!
Once upon a rainy day, we were out in the farm fields waiting on the sun to break through the gloom. We arrived in this dark world naked and were washed clean waiting for the sun. Little darling, here it comes...
I can always count on a little slice of perfection from Peter... Perfectly crafted song, my friend! I truly envy your mastery of your voice, virtuosity with your instruments, and flawless ear for arrangement.
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…
Hey superstar! So glad to see this one posted on your page!... I'll be finding some time in the coming weeks to record yet another version (with my vocals alongside yours), but I don't think I could possibly top Willem's!
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
(@Reefwalker) I may go back and record a different version with the two of us singing together. It is daunting to try to keep up with her incredible vocal talents, though!
Corbin,
Just swinging by again to have a listen to this little piece of perfection. Hey, how many of the instruments are you playing on this? I'd love to hear the recording process for this song. It truly is one of the most perfectly crafted, arranged, and performed songs I have ever heard.
Be good and keep charging toward greatness!
Keith
My oldest is a serious mountain hiker, herself. I'll be playing this beautiful song for her later... If you want to hear my version of a hiking song (a day with my middle and youngest when they were really little), come on over for a listen!
http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/sleeping-beauty-mountain
I've got a bunch of other songs over there written about hiking in the mountains... But none so tremendously arranged as this gem of yours.
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve.
OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.

Excellent arrangement!!! Love the acoustic sound. Faved when that third guitar dropped in at just the right time.
Faved for Kavin's slide guitar goodness!
How the hell did I miss this one! I gotta get my head out of my ass and swing by the osckilo part of the world more often! Well done, my friend!
REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through. Well done!

I'm always blown away by what comes out of your mind, through your hands, in into a microphone. Such good sounds... Always such good sounds.
Oh goodness... How have I missed this all this time?!?!?! AMAZING.
My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.
Faved instantly.
Very nice haunting arrangement. Love the guitar coming in at around 1:20-ish. Really deftly handled orchestration throughout.
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve. OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
