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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
