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

if you had an indian name
what would it be
if you needed a hostage
you can always have me
and when the world is flat
and we come to the edge
would you red me your words
would you tell me our pledge
oh the sounds of the morning
they set desire…
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…

the sun rises every morning
i hear those feet upon the floor
im pretty sure that you are beside me
everythings the same as it was before
our son jumps in bed and lys between us
holds us together as the light drifts in
you are the flower of my…
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…

you tell me what you want

i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed

and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time

Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Another song in the works that I have never been happy with. Now that Mr. Tolar has me feeding raw meat to the Ibanez, this is the result. So, it's either a rocker, or I'm off my rocker!

I'm almost totally happy with this song except it is for the mix. I would appreciate any comments on how to improve it. Is too bassy and the mix has a big blip in the beginning where it gets louder for a second. I know I can fix some of that with…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
sunshines on waves of grain
purple mountains are turning grey
duck and cover, the theme of the day
as times collide in the USA
spacious skies pourin' rain
Mississippi she's floodin the plains
run for cover, it's comming your way
we…
Inspired by New Orleans
Lyrics
Left from Carolina headed for New Orleans
started west out to Tennessee
bout' then it started rainin' far as I could see
I heard the levys broke and let in the sea
Oh Mississippi flow
flow to the…
A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.
It's a ghost story. So go get your cocoa now!
And a Murder ballad and a love story (but aren't they all).

An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
great story. i am getting into your understated vocals. this is my favorite so far. reminds me a little of marcy playgrounds best stuff, a little more mellow but the same great sense of melodic timing
nice

Wonderful track, one of my faves. Most attractive and compulsive ending.
I agree with everyone....Great song and really nice mixing/recording!
I like the changes. Great song!
As the saying goes, this one cleans up nice. Glad to hear the lyrics--yours are always worth listening to. "Pulmonary indecison"--love it!
This is one of those occasions when I am glad I use headphones. Such a full sound and a great song.
Wonderful song writing Tim.

quite nice
here is where the new york poem went. i will also repost. thanks for asking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMdcQxFdJW0
i can get you the other versions. for me most of the time it is a matter of whittling the recording down, finding the silence among the sound,
that you bethan,sister,glue,rebecca, it means a lot to know that you are listening.
could mix the percussion a little farther back
bass line is beautiful.
wow great voice. i will listen more.
you are back. i will listen more later. tim
very clever
great opening notes. so clear. direct or mic?
great bass line to build this around. i always find it fun to use audio from the time period
so......................how did you record this?
real nice feel. i read your bio. very much my style of writing as well. i like the harmonica. what are you doing for drums
i alway s like your loose fun style
