Other People's Lives

I got a call the other night. 'Hey this is James Taylor,' said the voice. 'That's right Sweet baby James. I've been looking for a favour and someone came up with your name.

That's the start of a song about fame, the simple life - and dreaming of being Sweet Baby James.

Just Like James - WAV

A song about remembering old friends who left this world too early.  They never made old bones. Years after you last saw them, you miss them being around. 	

9. Crazy Old Bones

We’ve had lots of songs about what’s special about your loved one. This is a song which tells a universal truth that rarely gets mentioned. There are things about what your partner says or how they behave which get under your skin. And not in a good way. 

8. Everyone's Annoying In Their Own Special Way

There are certain things in life which you really would prefer not to think about. The subject of this song is one of them. It’s a cheery little number about the different ways that you can kick the bucket. 

7. Way To Go Blues

There are not many songs which take as their subject having a terrible row with the person you love. How do you move on? What happens next? Maybe you should just go out and pretend you’re happy. 

6. Let's Go Out And Pretend We're Happy

Just imagine  -  somewhere, perhaps at the bottom of the sea,  there’s a party where all of life’s misfits gather for a party. Maybe you’ll see Gandhi. Or Woody Guthrie. Or Marilyn Monroe. Here’s a song for misfits everywhere.

5. Misfits' Jamboree

Here’s a song about the way much of our life  is down to chance   -  happening to be in the right place to meet the person who changes the rest of your life, for example.  It celebrates love and good luck.  

4. Where Would I Be_

Has there ever been such an age for public crying as this one? There are tears on reality shows, in politics, on tennis courts. It’s the way we show the world how sincere we all are – how much we care. Now EVERYBODY's crying....

3. The Crying Game

Terence  and James Taylor have a lot in common, it turns out. In fact, it’s only the small matter of fame, money and talent where  there’s a difference between them. But what if James dreamed of the quiet life? What if they changed places?

2. Just Like James

You know those moments when you’re telling a story and you reach the key moment when you need to mention the name of a movie or a friend or maybe just a word -  and suddenly it’s gone. That’s what this song .... sorry where was I? 	

1. No, Sorry, It's Gone

Sometimes Your Face Don't Fit

You're On Your Own

This a song written for, and brilliantly sung by, Victoria Hart. It was engineered by Mark Harwood of Springvale Studios. Shaun Parks is on percussion.

It's Only Love That Gets Me

Terence's fifth album MEANWHILE...  was released on 2nd December  2022.  His previous album PLAYING FOR TIME was selected by the Sunday Times as one of Top 100 Albums of 2020.
His new single JUST LIKE JAMES will be released on 17th November 2023.

'We need cheering up right now and this singer-songwriter, sometimes tender, sometimes sardonic, is just the ticket.'
