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.
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…

Recorded a while ago when I really didn't have any idea what I was doing... Even so, the talent of the kid in the duet comes through. Apologies for the opening seven seconds of silence (hmmm... I may need to name my next album that).
After listening to Brian's beautiful guitar piece "Mellow," Brian was kind enough to allow me to sing along...
Never saw you coming
Down my lonely road
I never saw you coming
Can't be sure you'll never go
I know you'll be leaving
But I keep believing…
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."
wow, you have so many songs!
Thank you so much for you warm comments on my songs, I realy appreciated!
I like your "life" songs. And don't you worry about you vocals ( as you do in amy pond) it's about your emotion! And that strikes in the heart.
I will listen to you more often.
Wit a smile,
Inge

From one Doctor Who nerd to another, I've been thinking of writing something like this for some time. You beat me to it! But what about Rose Tyler? Did that end when David Tennant left the show? Great song. Will be back to listen to more.

We're so quick to judge others. We really shouldn't.
This one follows the tone of It Mattered To No One Else. I actually had a lot more song ideas like these two that I thought would end up being the whole record. But it didn't happen that…
Similar to a couple of other tunes this year, the How Many More? chorus idea has been floating around my addled head for a few years, but again, it wouldn't come to shore. But in promising my ideas that I never give up on them, I tried it again…
The Again, Again, Again line and melody has been flowing through my brain since 2017 or so. But if we are merely vessels for songs that are waiting to come to our shores, I was a leaky boat for a very long time and couldn't make the journey without…

Another one where the riff came first, on the last day of RPM 2020 actually. Before all the craziness struck. I thought to myself "Oh self! That's a good riff! I will need to revisit it next year for RPM 2021." So I did. It also has a call-back…
Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…
I can actually hear Daltrey sing this with Townsend providing harmonies. Dang, Gary. And the song just gets better and better as it progresses. Just, dang.
What else can be said of the last 12 months? Everybody wants a piece of my time. Get in line.
The riff came first and I walked around for days just banging it out non-stop. Hammer-ons for fun and pleasure...
Originally I had a Motown idea in mind, and I kept my stomping and clapping, but the song seemed to lend itself to a more spacey-synthey feel, so I ran with it. I also am hinting a tiny (very tiny) bit at Joe Jackson's band's backing vocal styles…
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.

Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Most enjoyable song, Keith and Love the lyrics.
Lovely songwriting!
very nicely done, thanks for putting the lyrics down R
Haha, I read that as 'Pass on Love', as in 'Love? I'll pass.' Anyway! Lovely song, affectionately performed, as ever, Mr L!
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 well done,,,a moving story line,,, as told by two talented people,, i'll go north with you
veeery nice song :)
This just makes me feel good. Thanks for that! Ashley's voice is incredible!
Sometimes WOW still works. This is a WOW. I really like this one. Nice song Keith.
Lovely stuff! Beautiful voices, great song!
This is so lovely. Love Ashley's voice.
This is great! My question is, are you gonna write a tribute to Rory? If you do, I promise to write the "ballad of the Dalek". Jim
what a beaut!
Great tune.

nicely recorded ...... and a nice natural reverb mate .... ill give it a master and its done :D

The place where memories are made! Sounds wonderful to me. Tear jerking stuff. Beautifully done Keith.
Sounds ideal to me. You genuinely sound delighted. Have a nice day!

Yup. This is good. This is very, very good.
...but Pete Townsend definitely had final say.
It just hit me. This album is what would happen if The Who and Styx were put in a room and told, "Don't come out until you've made something amazing."
Favorited with the opening notes.
Yup. This is good. Damn, Gary, this is one hell of a cleanly produced album. Always amazed by what you do.
I can actually hear Daltrey sing this with Townsend providing harmonies. Dang, Gary. And the song just gets better and better as it progresses. Just, dang.
Righteous! Righteous!
First one in! Let's do this!!!
Yup. This is my favorite so far - but you likely knew I'd like this one best when you recorded it.
Just back to listen to the original. Damn, soooooooo good.
Just so spectacularly beautiful. Truly, one of my all-time favorite songs by any artist ever. Period.
My all-time favorite from you. Just spectacular.
This is such a classic.
Dang. Well, it appears that your family has hogged all the talent. Just SPECTACULAR.
Love it from the first note!
...and of course, it's BRILLIANT.
First one in! So good to see a new song up from you, my friend.
Loooooving this.
GREAT album! It just keeps getting stronger and stronger and closes with this outstanding track. Well done!!!
Nope. I lied. New favorite, this one.
