A sweet life anthem as only you could conjure Jim. The authenticity of your delivery is impeccable. Durge

Jim, Very few people make music like this. Lucky you!!

I like how you reveal the sort of kindly side of the loner. He’s not totally against everyone, it’s just his nature to be who he is. He has some empathy and interest but mostly the loner in him wins out for the comfort zone. Another gem of a song/performance that really captures the spirit of your writing Jim.

lovely to catch up on your music Jim, some beautiful new tracks here 💜

for an old mate.............cheers for having a listen


sometimes i don't feel like being the social kind
catchup with you another day
i just need some time away, hope you don't mind

i did my time, paid my dues
wiped away my tears, sang my blues
said my goodbyes, some much too late
went to sleep with the devil, woke up a saint

if i could i think i would, get far away so im never found
but then again i don't like flying
so i'll just keep my good foot on the ground

i fought too much, sometimes not enough
tried to smooth out the edges, when its naturally rough
i've buttoned my lip, then yelled so loud
hung my head, then never felt so proud

to be a loner

Will I hold you in my arms again,
as a lover, not a friend?
Can I keep control 'til then,
even if until my end?

But I can't and I won't, my love.

I'm losing control.

I'm goin' to explooooooooooooode.

This song is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as a tribute song to my grandfather who inspired me to be a musician. A big shout out and thanks to J.J. Terrell for your wonderful piano and organ, and to Stephen for all the work you did on guitar and in the studio mixing and mastering this wonderful ballad. 
I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone on this track because I knew I would've regretted it if I didn't. Going through a bunch of my grandpa's stuff a few years ago, and I got his guitar as well as his hat. When I got home I wrote this song. Miss you Grandpa, and I hope that you somehow hear the song and are proud. 

Lyrics:
Verse
When I was a little kid I can't remember all I did
Another year another memory fades
I used to ride my bike to school banana seat no I wasn't cool
Parents split up didn't know where to stay
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
My teenage years were crazy I did some things that rearranged me
Looking back I'm lucky to be alive
Played door check with some cones prank calls on the phone
Gun in hand how did I survive
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
wooooh oh oh granpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
Now I got kids of my own, pretty soon they'll be grown
Mama's gonna cry the day they move away
You see time is moving fast, and we all are gonna pass
When my time comes I know I'll be ok
Chorus
In my darkest hours was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat.
