Hey Tim I'm very happy to hear you are still writing tunage my brotha. I have always dug your styling. Keep up the cool tracks!
Peace,

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…
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 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…
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…
People
maybe, maybe im in trouble
maybe there is someone out there that is mad at me
i know that when i see it in your eyes
when i here it in your crys
your in trouble too , ...
people are all the same it doesnt matter
somehow we learn to…
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

I do not know anyone named Lilly Child. I just thought the name sounded good.
This is third of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written last June. I have only recorded 4 of the 10

It is created between the cracks. it is amplified. if you listen, you feel the space between time. it is created in a life without time. caught in a shadow of light. nothing can exist here. but this does. it is beautiful. it is ephemeral. it is gone.
This song by Eric Bogle is updated for all those who've
lost sons and daughters in Iraq and other places in this war
against terror. Do me a favour and send it to George W.
you are so far back in the member list i can imagine that there were very few members. if you would like more exposure i strongly and heartfeltly , because i like your stuff, suggest you repost to get on the topo of the page

There was a director who was so happy to show off his lead singer to the playwrite... she was young and beautiful and a talented singer... when he finally got to present her to the playwrite... the playwrite nodded, and smiled.. he told the director…
nice to see and hear you over here. .........and if i die before i wake. i used to say it before bed every night as a kid. i was sort of mad e to say it but it used to really scare me. that and TB. this song brought that all up as a forgotten memory. ialso used to be so upset that my sundaty techer would tell me that my father in heaven was first in line before my real father. i couldnt comprehend that and i felt so insecure. i have a much different perspective. i might start to think about my four year old saying a prayer before bed .
I am Ironman.
With this one, I purposely kept it stripped down. I could have lavished it up, but I wanted the tone to match the stark clarity of realization. Sometimes this one sounds thin to me, but stark clarity sometimes has the same: "That…
A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET, I don't care. I wrote it for me. Oh, and I am very…
Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.
She sat across from me on a couch. It was Paris at 2:00am. Among the
beauty of the french women, her homelyness stood out.
'do you find me attractive?' she asked.
'no' I replied.
'the feeling is mutual'
I got up to leave.

Comments on tim mcfate's stuff
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,
Honest, heartfelt, and beautiful to boot. Nice...
