Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
So tender and perfect! I'm going to be listening to you at breakfast again tomorrow.
"Out of ALL the boys, DADDY was your favourite???!!!!" is my fave so far.
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…
Probably my absolute favourite of yours.
And, that chorus is stunning - especially now I know who those pretty girls are. You're one gifted singer song-writer, Mr Landry.
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…

On your recommend, I'll dive into newer songs. Keith, you are a great story-driven songsmith. The stories in your songs are always interesting and well formed. Keep it up!
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…

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).
This is a song that started as just an idea I had playing live one lovely thursday evening and I just started playing this progression and sang some gibberish over it and I came up with the "chorus" part and and the Idea of asking questions in…
If you think this one's great, you need to go over and listen to Corbin's "One Step at a Time." It will get stuck in your head... And you'll be glad it did.
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…
I was walking down an empty street late one night and thinking of different things while the fire of a song was burning in my head. then took the situation and looked at the parrellels in my life and from that came this song.
hope you like it! :)
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…

What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...
Amy Pond
Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…

I originally intended to arrange this song more fully, but the thought of the Doctor singing to Amy with nothing but an acoustic guitar somehow worked for me.

This is just terrific! Now that my little ones are 5, 7, and 10, I can look back and laugh at the repetitive questioning... I almost miss it... Almost.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
A little rebalancing... Some arrangement starting at 2:00 or so... But same sweet little song and same incredible vocals from Sister Savage.
Thanks for listening to this track... Of all the songs I've written (or should I say of all the songs that have written themselves through me), this one is my favorite.
one word... Chills.
So tender and perfect! I'm going to be listening to you at breakfast again tomorrow. "Out of ALL the boys, DADDY was your favourite???!!!!" is my fave so far.
Great playing, great singing, beautiful, funny song. (Both of mine slept through at 3 weeks, hahahahaha!)
Probably my absolute favourite of yours. And, that chorus is stunning - especially now I know who those pretty girls are. You're one gifted singer song-writer, Mr Landry.
Love your voice. And thin crust pizza.
Great song/ love the lyrics.:)
On your recommend, I'll dive into newer songs. Keith, you are a great story-driven songsmith. The stories in your songs are always interesting and well formed. Keep it up!
Oh My! What a wonderful collaboration! Almost missed this one
Your voices really compliment each other beautifully. This is a wonderful track. More please !!! : )
Thanks to everyone for listening to this stripped-down first run of this song with Tess' amazing vocals.
great idea. I enjoyed listening.
Wow very cool great lyrics well done. Beautiful vocals as always Tess. And Keith's are good too. This is brilliant.
cool tune.
Your voices are wonderful together. I love the concept too. This is a beautiful song really well performed.
Very nice. Loved the interplay between you both and the time zone difference lyrics, the parent/children aspect too. Good work
I think your ready to take these soft hearts to prime time. This is very easy listening and I just loved it.
I always wanted to hear Sis sing with a guy. This is really, really, well done. Tip of the hat to Mr. Landry. Bravo! ~WG
Fave'd because of Tess' incredible vocals! Damn, that girl can sing.

Man, Kavin... This is just great stuff... Playing my way through some of your tunes and enjoying them all!

Wow... REALLY nice!
Yup, back again to listen to the terrific song.
Thanks for listening, Inge!... I appreciate your kind words as well... And I'm always willing to be dragged into the happiness!
Great stuff, Brian!
Really, this is a great song. I can't wait to hear more songs from you.
Beautiful.
Wow, what beautiful guitarwork!... Counterpointed by such powerful and direct lyrics. Wow.
Great song... I find my best songs are the ones I've written about my kids, but I must say that this one of yours tops them all.
Just dropping by to listen to this terrific song.
Wow.
Very smooth.
Ugh... Now that I hear this a few days later, I realize how badly I need to re-record the vocals.
I originally intended to arrange this song more fully, but the thought of the Doctor singing to Amy with nothing but an acoustic guitar somehow worked for me.
And here it is just a bit further down the playlist! Damn, just a great song!
Great delicate little song. What a nice sound!
This is just terrific! Now that my little ones are 5, 7, and 10, I can look back and laugh at the repetitive questioning... I almost miss it... Almost.
Great arrangement and a terrific song, Peter!
