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
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…
amused, desire to feel inside and will i mean it
confused, and scared of what I'll find, and will I believe it
it's just a scratch but infection has already set it
we go on like the world will never end
no fear of tomorrow, no fear of today…
shame I make the same mistakes each time
adding up, piling on this list of my crimes
the biggest to the smallest weigh the same to me
buried beneath of mountain with no hope of getting free
holding on to my broken dreams
shame I have no…

i remember seeing that crazy picture you use of yourself when i first started the rpm thing and wondering what the hell you were up to. a poloroid gone bad. sure glad i continued to be curious
sorry to hear you have been sick but it sounds as if it was productive. now that i am listening i think i may have alreadt commented on this. i am not sure how to take you r songs. they are so honest yet i cant tell if you are making up the feelings as if you are a blues singer or if you truely are telling your story. what ever you have something very relivant.
This was written for RPM 2009, mostly in January and was inspired by from a mix of current events and personal journey.
Lyrics:
The Queen of Pearls is wearing diamonds
up and down her fingers
She holds the door to the castle
where memories…

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...
