Just a little piano ballad - another old composition. The strings have not been mixed/edited too well, sorry for that. I'll fix it some day.

Thanks to everybody for listening and commenting! :)
@charmedquark: No, this is not a real piano. It is TheGrand3 by Steinberg - my favorite piano VST. :)

Floppy old mix. Another candidate for remixing or (at least) re-mastering. I'll probably do the latter soon.

I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).
Anybody interested in helping me?

I can kind of see why it hasn't made many friends - it just is what it is... It makes me think of 80s stuff, like Moonlighting, etc :-)
BUT... it's a mighty fine listen.

I've been told that drowning is a dreamy way to go.
THE ANGELS CRIED "NO!"
He lived high on the mountain top
He lived there with his love
He tumbled to the valley deep
When she gave him a shove
And when he hit the valley deep
It must…
Wow, is that a banjo? Great playing!
The music is actually cheerful, but the lyrics deal with a serious topic - and somehow it fits together and sounds just right.

This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…
Thanks everybody for your comments on this and other songs of mine! It's good to know that there are a couple of folks out there who like some of my songs. :)
Feel free to criticize though! We all cannot get better without honest, constructive criticism.

On this song you sound even more like Chapin. Great song btw - lead vocals are too loud, but awesome job nonetheless. The backing vocals are brilliant. The whole song is brilliant!

People had been requesting this song for years. I decided to write it.
It's the most requested song in Tarrant county
It's a song that I had never heard before
But I always try to sing the songs folks ask for

Nice one, James! I wish I was able to just grab a guitar and hum along. But I'm still trying to learn the basics on guitar (that Dm chord kills me - my hands are too big), and I cannot sing a single note.

This is marvelous. Do I hear a real acoustic piano? And thank you for your comments. Leo turned me onto this site
This reminds me of days at home watching 80's music videos! Love it!
So Peaceful and stunning. I might play this as I drift off to sleep tonight. Food for the soul.
Beautiful music, sounds great!
Very nice music man! It could be used for film.
Nice smooth song, good production
I can kind of see why it hasn't made many friends - it just is what it is... It makes me think of 80s stuff, like Moonlighting, etc :-) BUT... it's a mighty fine listen.
WOW, what a great song.....I really like the vocals...you have so many good songs its hard to keep up. I really like this one, the acoustic is recorded very well.

Oh, look there, an unknown Beatles song! Are you a relative of John Lennon's? ;) Very well done! Regards, Steffen
Wonderful - would be perfect for a sad movie. Great playing. Regards, Steffen
I don't understand a word, but it sounds great! :)
Wow, is that a banjo? Great playing! The music is actually cheerful, but the lyrics deal with a serious topic - and somehow it fits together and sounds just right.
It took a while, but then it started to grab me. The lyric is great, as always. Unfortunately I don't understand every word in the slow part.
Sounds like you could have a great future in the film music genre. :) Regards, Steffen
Beautiful songwriting and a most emotional performance. Another favorite, no doubt.
Your songs sound radio-ready to me. Brit-pop/rock with a very modern sound. Regards, Steffen

You have everything a good songwriter needs: A guitar, a voice, and a bunch of great stories to tell. Regards, Steffen
Solid job, as always, James! I really dig your singing. Regards, Steffen
On this song you sound even more like Chapin. Great song btw - lead vocals are too loud, but awesome job nonetheless. The backing vocals are brilliant. The whole song is brilliant!
You sound a bit like Harry Chapin, did you know that? And just to make that clear: I love Harry Chapin! :) Regards, Steffen
A wonderful song, James, and I love the harmony vocals. Regards, Steffen
This could well be a Jimmy Buffet song. Have I said that before? ;) Regards, Steffen
Hey, nice to meet you here! :) I remember this song - you posted it at Songcrafters some time ago. Great blues voice! Regards, Steffen
Nice one, James! I wish I was able to just grab a guitar and hum along. But I'm still trying to learn the basics on guitar (that Dm chord kills me - my hands are too big), and I cannot sing a single note. Regards, Steffen
I love the piano! :)
Exactly what I like! Awesome vocals. :)
Yes, there is definitely a bit of blues in it. Nice song, Geir! Regards, Steffen
