Bravo Jim and Kevin  , great prod as usual 👌

Oh, this is a beautiful song with a fantastic sound. What a loss that there won't be any more collaborations between you and Kevin in the future. Your collaboration on this song is just great. Thank you so much for sharing it with us, Jim.💫

oh man. sorry to hear the loss. beautiful song

Pretty beautiful song. I'm really sorry about your friend!

Beautiful song by you and Kevin, Jimmy.  I am very sorry for your loss, He really was a great musician, and always so kind! <3

Really nice song. And so sad to hear about Kevin.

Hi Jimmy very nice song, great sound 👌

Great musicality on this - the guitar melody is very striking with the synths. Hypnotic and brilliant. Sorry to hear your news. Great collaboration.

This song was written by Kevin Lyons and myself, it's really about nothing, just a play on words on my part but Kevin made it his own and composed a beautiful tune for it. I added some guitars and percussion to it. Turned out very nice. *UPDATE: Kevin passed away in Germany last Mother's day 2025. I just found out and am very saddened about this. I don't have any other information on what happened yet. He has a channel on YouTube "Kevin W Lyons" if anyone would like to listen to his music and songs. He and I wrote several songs together from 2022 to 2024 and I made videos for several of them and they are here in my channel on YouTube. if you would like to watch them. This is one of them in which he wrote the music and sang, I wrote the lyrics and played guitars. I will miss him dearly. 🙏🙏🙏

“A REFLECTION OF ME”

THIS SONG HAS NO PURPOSE,
NO RHYTHM OR RHYME,
JUST THOUGHTS STRUNG TOGETHER,
HELD CAPTIVE IN TIME,

IT SOLVES NO GREAT MYSTERY,
DOESN’T MOVE ONE TO TEARS,
JUST WORDS ON PAPER,
WORN THIN BY THE YEARS,

NO SECRET MEANING,
NO STRUCTURE OR PLOT,
JUST ANOTHER FACELESS STRANGER,
PASSED BY AND FORGOT,
             
THERE’S NO HIDDEN INSIGHT,
THAT THIS SONG WILL REVEAL,
JUST SOME VERSES AND MUSIC,
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT APPEAL,

THIS SONG HAS NO PURPOSE,
NO REASON TO BE,
IT’S CREATION A PUZZLE,
A REFLECTION OF ME,
A REFLECTION OF ME,
A REFLECTION OF ME.

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
