There's a story behind this that's uninteresting to anyone but me. A short version is that my old, broken guitar (made semi-immortal with duct tape and instrumental willpower) needed to play this Dylan song before it is laid to rest.

Tear-stained skin weathers resting near as the sun is born
A sacrament to visions of sorrow and seasons of remorse
Butterflies disturb the light with dance

Beckoning with soul the wind

This is a silly song I wrote 35 years ago for a crush. For some reason today felt like the day to record it.
The way that mountains shape the horizon
The way that lightning lights the sky
The way that ice cream makes you shiver
The way…

The smell of wine sweetly passes, bittered by her breath
Those lies weaving twisted thoughts deep into your head
That life is better traveled where no other thoughts have lead
But life may live to deceive
Curtain drawn, her hair let down…

Stumble across
A crack in the sidewalk
Jolted back to the dry city air
I thought I was ready
I hear myself crying
Just get home before anyone stares
Can't feel a thing except fingernails piercing skin
Cover the wounds
Try to fit in…

Early Saturday 22 MARCH 2025 inspiration. Playing my custom red telecaster made by James Sanscrainte (thanks Jim!). Also used my Washburn acoustic and Gretsch bass.
Needs some re-arranging and vocals. More to come!

This one's just a minute long. A friend says it sounds like "some sort of retro elevator synthwave or something..."
Hope you like it!

The story of everyone's life.
I tried again, after I learned it a bit better.
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down…

Another song I love. Nothing compares to Lou, though. Seasonal, will melt away soon!

Very rare she comes around

Divorce is a terrible thing especially with young children

Now close your eyes and you’ll feel,

No matter where you are

only my own grave

i hate breathing

One of my favourite songs off Blood On The Tracks and you have covered it so well. Cool expressive vocal and those banjo solos sort of add a poignancy. Good job mate.

WOW! That is one beautiful song. The lyrics are lovely poetry and the recording nice and clear. I like how you have panned the acoustic guitars and also the laid-back vocal performance. Great work.
