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 love it when someone writes about the real in life. This is it. The kind of song that carries through life's changes. Music and the voice married perfectly.
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…

This made me cry. At breakfast time. You made me cry whilst making breakfast for everyone. They have soggy chocolate toast and cheerios now. And my coffee is salty. Beautiful, touching song. I wish I'd written this for my little daughters.
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"
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…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
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."
Well, it's an honour to be the first to listen to this incredible song. Love the hopeful sentiments about our mercurial life force. And your delivery is, as ever, delicious!
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
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
Final version
Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.
track nine, or at least…
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…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…
Nine cans of Guinness....
One beaten up old Guitar.....
An MBR....
A Great night out...
Then Some time time my self...
This is the result...
Peace

3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
This is me live....
No frills....
I Play a classical because my fingers are too big... Lol!!
Sorry if it is a bit rough...
was a tough night...

I like it though...

Another great track from Gumbo!
I had to give it a favorite tag just for MTC's out of control guitar work.
OUTSTANDING!!!
What a sound!!! Man, Kavin, just how freakin' good are you gonna get?
This is outstanding! I'm loving the free-and-easy tracks this RPM, Kavin!
Damn, Tharek. Just a great song... As always, envious of that incredible picking of yours.
Faved from the opening notes... Reminiscent of some of Matthew Sweet's best stuff! Great track, Alex!
Great song in every way, Tharek!
Instant fave.
Great song... perfectly arranged and performed! Classic Fedofsky with the tempo-changed bridge... So good.
Another gem, Peter. The more I try to push my vocal limitations, the more I keep coming back to listen to your stuff with envy and awe!
Outstanding!
...And I love the higher level conversations that will surely ensue from the "physics degrees."
Love it. Absolutely love it. This will be an instant classic in the Landry household before the week is out.
Colin, Really excited for this kids album. Great track, man!
Faved at the first note. Jeez, Kirk, this "way back" stuff is fantastic!!!
Always appreciative of the live stuff! Well done, Tharek!!!
Great stripped down track, Colin! No imaginary rock band necessary!
Really like the energy of this one, Dave! Nice collection of tunes you have here... I'll be following in the future.
Hey, great rich full sound to this track, Tharek!
