you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

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…

start here at the airport
feels like im going blind
middle of the day in a dark bar
1000 miles away from peace of mind
im tring to remember
when i was a kid
did the sun set in my back yard
i think it did
what comes before and goes on…

Man this is incredible. The off kilter feeling of the music belies the deeply personal lyrics. Like being in a funhouse with a slanted floor, but someone is crying in the distance.

no this is brand new. actually a one take vocal. it does contain some of the same lirics as fertility dance. did you know that you can click on the about tap to get the lyrics?. nice to see you listening much appreciated

three striped gum
falls out of an old dresser drawer
fills my head with memories from before
causes me to close the door
i feel rotten to the core

falls out of my pocket in the rain
what would have happened if i played…

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…
Nice album Tim,hey where do I get one of those rockers with the roll down windows?Some interesting percussion sounds in this one.One of my favorites of the bunch.

it is always unexpected when a tune gains popularity. that song came together so quickly.it was truly inspired. that was a one take vocal. quit often i will harmonize with the main voice. but i knew soon after i recorded the first that that was enough
i really appreciate your input and support

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

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

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).

hi
just wanted to tell you how much your songs have grown on me. i have you and "missed connections on my ipod and i find, lately i gravitate right to your songs. great melodies, clever and creative arrangements and sensitive subject matter
thanks

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

Comments on tim mcfate's stuff
smudged it with my foot, covered it up with leaves but came back to see what I believed. Love this line.
Great song Tim- I'm liking your stuff!!
great feel and love the vocal
You didn't hear back? Wow, sorry. That doesn't sound like me. :-( Loving your laid back style. Very cool music, Tim.
Cool song. Your tunes really remind me of the Stones.
Nice, very nice song!
Love the feel of this tune.
A heavy list for 28 days. Very enjoyable. I hope we see more from you in days to come.
thanks

Comments made by tim mcfate
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
