One Middle of the Day

People come here from all over, 
Most have their own notions of home.
Doesn’t matter if it’s South, or East, 
Or somewhere over the moon.
And sometimes waiting is as good as
Doing I suppose, but who knows?
Think a thousand leaves,
Pages and the trees,
All mixed up in a word.

For The Birds

I Don’t Like You

What is there to say about such a perfect love song. I don’t play this one nearly enough for how much I adore, but I guess I really don’t want to even so much as wrinkle it with overuse. So here ya go. A recording made sitting by myself in the hot, dim light of a late Georgia afternoon.

There Is A War (Leonard Cohen cover)

Eclipse of Dover

Rough home demo of a new song I've been working on. I shared this with a few friends and it was requested by one of them that I post it online. So, here you go!

Get Down Stay

Michael Gerard Levasseur is a singer, guitar player, and poet originally from Brooklyn, NY. He has released three solo albums and one full-band album under the name Michael The Blind, and two albums with his band The Moonshine (consisting of his wife Rachael and a revolving cast of other string players). Both projects have released several singles as well as instrumental releases. With obvious nods to the art song stylings of luminaries and personal heroes like Leonard Cohen, and Jacques Brel, Levasseur’s songs tend toward the darkly hopeful, and show the influences of both his upbringing as a classical vocalist, as well as his love for old-time American music and traditional folk music from around the world.
