Wonderful songwriting. Your smooth vocal reminds me of Daniel Ash :) (for example "Slice of Life" by Bauhaus)

Nice bouncy feel to this song & dig your voice

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 230

In the first episode of You Must Remember This, a new podcast devoted to the secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood's first century, Karina Longworth and guest Farran Nehme (author of the Self-Styled Siren blog) work back from Kim Novak's appearance at the 2014 Academy Awards to trace the ways in which Novak has always been an outlier amongst Hollywood beauties. Briefly the biggest star in Hollywood, Novak's career has always been defined by the tension between her well-crafted image, and her resistance to being crafted into something she was not.

You Must Remember This: The Hard Hollywood Life Of Kim Novak

Originally had a different twist but John Eagle convinced me to tone it down a bit. Glad i did.
Thank you John Eagle for the push.
The song pretty much tells the story i think.
We all yearn for the good old days.
Never been to Mississippi but I'm sure it's a wonderful place.
Hope you enjoy. I over did it here and there.
I had kids walking in the bedroom so the sound comes and goes here and there.

If I Ever Get Back To Tupelo
John Delk 2015

Now there's a little country store outside of town
Where an old hound dog use to lay around

There's a sweet smell when you go inside
They got RC Cola and a big moon pie

You see an old truck if the weeds ain't tall
Sitting out back where we played ball

That old truck's it's been around the world
Driven thru the dreams of the boys and girls

That's the place that I wanna go
 If I ever get back to Tupelo

There’s an old church called the first free will
There's Maggie Brown and my cousin Bill

You can hear the bell ring miles away
An then you hear the organ Miss Maggie plays

There'll never be a sweeter sound
Than Sunday morning in that Mississippi town
 
That's the place that I wanna go
 If I ever get back to Tupelo

Now Daddy and Mama they're both gone
My sister married and they moved on

The old cemetery is down river road
That's where I'm gonna park this heavy load
 
That's the place that I wanna go
If I ever get back to Tupelo

That's the place that I wanna go
If I ever get back to Tupelo

Lightning (Original Song)

Mrs. Robinson (Simon and Garfunkel) - Just As Good

I wanted to cover Unchained Melody sort of as a challenge to myself to see if I could tackle it. I very much couldn't to start with, more than a year ago, but I got it to a place that I'm happy with. I love the Righteous Brothers version so much and it's a small part of my childhood, much as it is in other peoples lives, for lots of different reasons. The song is a memory unto itself, with people and places and moments in time for everyone. That's why I wanted my recording to feel nostalgic, to take you to another time or place. I really just wanted it to sound old and feel old. 

It'll be this sound that I'll use, with some tweaks, on a maybe 6-track EP I'm working on/still writing in places. Either way it'll be Jackson Browne/War on Drugs/Ryan Adams/David Ramirez/Willie Nelson/maybe even The Band inspired stuff. Americana, for sure.

My good pal Jack Bevan (Roped In) did all those gorgeous background vocals and played bass. Joss Edwards played the fantastic, Elton Johnny piano parts and Joe Barton (King Solomon) knew just what to do with the Organ. Big thank you to boys, it wouldn't be what it is without you. Thank you very much.

White Dwarfs And Red Giants

I can feel your heart beat when you put your hand on mine.
I can feel my hand shake, giddy and frenetic tide.
I have built my fine, strong walls, protecting me and mine.
Cut-throat in the rose-thorns, gold sickles on the vines.

You can feel my heart beat when you press your mouth to mine.
Red giants and white dwarves implode in free-fall time.
I say you can’t come in.
You laugh and smile that smile.
You and your crooked smile that drives all the girls wild.

Stood there like a worldly knight, to say you’ll wait for me.
But I try hard to resist, no more dishonesty,
Easy broken promises and practised casual charm.
But just who am I kidding?
Not you and your crooked smile.

White dwarfs and red giants
White dwarfs and red giants

I can feel your heart beat when you put your hand on mine.
I can feel my heart beat when you press your mouth to mine.
Red giants and white dwarves implode in free-fall time.
I can feel my heart beat when you put your hand on mine.
You can feel my heart beat when you press your mouth to mine.
White dwarves and red giants.
White dwarves and red giants.
