Ever been hypnotized? No? Let me ask you something... Have you ever been so in love that you did things you otherwise wouldn't have done? So let me ask you again. Ever been hypnotized?
CLAP THREE TIMES
Keith Landry: Vocals, Guitars…
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."
It wasn't until I finished recording this track that I realized how great an influence the ocean has had on my songwriting.

So many widow's walks in New England. So many hardened girls.
CAN'T WALK ON WATER
Can't walk on water
Can't drown in the sand
A fisherman's daughter
It's out of her hands
If you told her you loved her
She'd want to know why
There…

I actually wrote the entire song so I could get Jessica to sing the line "Have you heard how her voice sounds with mine" along with me.

Just back again to listen to this brilliant piece of insanity. How can I fave something multiple times? Is there a super-fave button? GREAT song! Especially love the bridge with the backing harmonies.
Just plain brilliant.
Written with a buddy of mine Chris Clark in 1991. Initially he had a great guitar part and a harmony vocals part that was better than what I did here. This was recorded @ Halvorsound all parts performed by Hook.
One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.
LIFE IS GOOD
Windows down, my baby by my side
Life is…
To conclude the album, here is the title track in a full band setting, featuring the great Rob Wirensjo on a riveting piano and also Hank Johnzon doing a jazzy pedal. The arrangement is a little reminiscent of turn of the 19th century can-can…
...And counterpointing the previous track, this fully arranged reprise of the opening of the album is the perfect ending to a perfect album.
I don't like to throw words like "brilliant" and "genius" around, but in the case of Stummindude's Kaleidoscopy, the words are warranted.
Well done, Jana. So well done.
The Cacaphony of the Kaleidoscopy, and a nod to 70's progressive rock. Brace yourself - this is a long one!
Falling Is Never

Years between life, between panic, a lie
between she who would…
First look at the clock: 8:48... And after hearing the first notes, I can tell that I'll be happy to hear every second... And will probably play it again upon it's completion... And now I just hit the guitars at 2:30. Speechless.
To think that only 46 people have ever heard this song is criminal.

First day of classes: "Falling Is Never"
Open enrollment starts now.
A couple of ornate melodies on a string that Will worked really hard to decorate with words. Since the song has basically two different melodic themes, the idea is to portray a relationship from two perspectives.
Over You
(Words by Will Gough…
As I listen through this album, I can't say enough about this album's perfect execution of Jana's musical vision. It doesn't take long to recognize that this album is the sound of a master at his craft.
A slow, scaled down, bluesy song with tremolo guitar, soaring organ and close up vocals.
Don't Ever
(Words & Music by Jana Persson)
I wanna hide no more
And I wanna close the door
Don't ever leave me
Never decieve me
Don't ever…
Flawlessly simple arrangement for a song so properly focused on the perfect delivery of soulful lyrics. It takes guts (and a ridiculous amount of talent) to arrange a song in this way. Outstanding.
This song is a tribute to the slick Californian music branded "Westcoast", that was all the rage back around the turn of the 1980's.

A funky track, featuring Amanda Persson, the 15 yo Daughter of Strummindude, on lead vocals. Amanda is currently competing in the 2011 Swedish Idol finals. (Oct 2011)

Next stop, Nashville.
Time to Let Go (Song for Ramona)
(Music by Jana Persson, Lyrics by Jana Persson and Will Gough)
Feel the hurt
Feel the pain
Aching heart
Not again
All the pleas
On my knees
Where's the cure for emotions like…
Incredible production. Big studio sound without any filter on Jana's perfect vision of great music both musically and lyrically... I could only dream of creating a song as clean and rich.
The window to the world opening. Have a listen, if you will!
Kaleidoscopy Overture

You will
Who'll prevail as is their wont?
You will
Who will have a look

A tune by my friend Darrin Kobetich, I added some electric guitar. Check out Darrin's stuff, available in all the usual places.

This is a song I have just recently finished recorded over the summer in my basement using all live recordings of real instruments (intro vocals were recorded literally on a cliffside), and this is the first of more to come. It's a song about…
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff

...Oh and this one is a true stroke of genius.

Great little song... Love the "laundry" line. So good, so real.
Ooooh... Excellent guitarwork... Great vocals... First rate all the way.
Faved at about the 0:07 mark. Great track, Brett... And now I run up the screen to click "Follow."
I had to fave it myself for Sam's perfectly playful vocals.

Reminiscent of the opening notes of Billy Joel's "All About Soul" with well-crafted song to match. Radio-ready. Spot-on harmonies. So good.
Crazy good... In every way. Listening to Amanda sing on this outstanding track reassures me that the future of music is safe.
Incredible production. Big studio sound without any filter on Jana's perfect vision of great music both musically and lyrically... I could only dream of creating a song as clean and rich.
How I love this song. I am so envious of the purity.
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor. Great sound from these two instruments. Well done, guys.
Great to hear more from you, Corbin... Signature voice and guitar! This will be downloaded and in heavy circulation in the Landry vehicles.
So rarely can one create such a rich arrangement with such clean sounds. Beautifully done.
I love when I come across an artist that makes me say, "How have I missed this?!?!?!" Excellent track.
Oh, justice done my friend.
...Now with new and improved final vocal track from Tess!
