the clock on the wall is watching the window
the shades are at half mast for what i do
there are regrets just over that horizon
but i know i know i can count on you
i think of a time when i was unwilling
the dark days i counted with a mark on…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…

A love song....about this world of wonder that i am so fortunate to have found, or it found me.
yea we climb from the rubble
of confusion and some pain
we are the wonder of the world
and many streets we walked of bitter pills and rain
and we…

just a sliver of a moon
as i walk thru this town
yea it is trash night
and i am sacred bound
i am counting my steps
and i am looking at my hands
i am feeling your skin
some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to…

i had ice coffee in the morning
moved my finger along a map
felt the future rising through me
i held the world in my lap
i though tabout texas this morning
kanas is now on my mind
followed you through the flood plains
the swelling rivers a…

i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey

i lay my head down on my pillow
outside i can see the evening sky
you are just over that Western horizon
and i dream that i can fly
the earth shakes '
my water breaks
we have given birth to something new
i see you standing hear before me
we…

Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control.
The light, the time
It’s in my mind,
Oh fine,
Won’t be polite
Some lines
Have not progressed in Mind
Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control,
Meathead syndrome,
No cure,
Not attuned to be here
Oh leave…
2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. This track was the first one completed for the RPM challenge this year.
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

young and lovely, with a wise patina
tapping her toe like Degas' ballerinas…
great bass sound. singing like a girl is a strenght not weakness. you dont really sound like a girl. i think what you are afraid of is being emotional .....like a girl. please that is so much better than the alternative. be happy

one hand clapping in the sycamore trees
while you're out mapping the coast
won't you come back, brother, oh please
I swear that I miss you the most

like the organ tone. what do you use to record? are the guitars direct? what about the drums. i like that you write from experience. again very dynamic
For the RPMC 2009 album "Sabbatical"
From a news story last year about UFOs over Phoenix. They turned out to be some lighted balloons some guy had set aloft. So this tune about UFO paranoia.
i have a think for the south west. lived ther on and off. i have been to south mountain many times and watched the city. for such an ambient piece it is very well thought out if you know what i mean.

sweet voice, like an angel tim
it is not nice to fool mother nature! tim
hey here you are on the hit list! alright tim
i think as a collection this holds up pretty well nice job tim
yes potatoes are very subsantial. i like the story. life on the run but not really. nice cat tim
i enjoy the starkness of the begining and enjoy the poetry tim
nice piano playing . cool build. i like the tone and emotion in your vocals. some hot licks
nice intro. sounds like 2006 was a tuff year for love
classic song about love. usually time to move on. people dont ever really change. some nice changes in the progression tim
well put together. very clever and well thought out melodies tim
i like the simple riff and how you then build around it. i think you should publish all your words under the "about "tab.
great bass sound. singing like a girl is a strenght not weakness. you dont really sound like a girl. i think what you are afraid of is being emotional .....like a girl. please that is so much better than the alternative. be happy tim
i like the quirky picking and as always the story is what draws me in. nice tim
like the organ tone. what do you use to record? are the guitars direct? what about the drums. i like that you write from experience. again very dynamic
a lot of folks just dont have a good handle on how to use their voice effectivly. you use yours in a great dinamic way
i keep coming back to your work. i like your style i guess tim
another nascar fan? nice playing. clever words
boy we could all use a little lesson in love if there was such a thing.
i have a think for the south west. lived ther on and off. i have been to south mountain many times and watched the city. for such an ambient piece it is very well thought out if you know what i mean.
