This is a song I wrote with Rachel Goldie a few weeks ago. It's pretty much a total collaboration but Rachel wrote the music mainly and I wrote the lyrics mainly and I wrote the bridge. There was a lot of back & forth and it was an extreme pleasure to work with her on it. Check out her music here on SoundCloud and other platforms, she is truly amazing! Rachel also produced a great video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TB7YRtqbDwo
Rachel also got an extremely good backing vocalist for this song as well. I hope everybody enjoys it.

"AM I A FOOL?"

AM I A FOOL TO LOVE YOU?
I’VE ASKED MYSELF A MILLION TIMES,
IS IT WISE FOR ME TO BE SO BLIND,  
AND PUT MY HEART BACK ON THE LINE?             
    
AM I A FOOL TO WANT YOU?
WANT YOU SO BAD IT BRINGS ME JOY,
TO HAVE YOU NEAR, TO HOLD YOU CLOSE, MY HEART'S DEPLOYED,
AM I YOUR LOVE OR JUST YOUR TOY?

STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

AM I A FOOL TO MISS YOU? 
BELIEVE I’LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR HEART,
WHAT IF I CLOSE MY EYES AND JUMP TOO FAR,
WILL I REGRET IT FROM THE START? 
      
STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

I’VE LOVED AND LOST SO MANY TIMES BEFORE,
BY NOW YOU’D THINK I KNOW THE SCORE,
CAN I BELIEVE THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE?
IS LOVE AT LAST IN STORE FOR ME? 
        
STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

AM I A FOOL TO TRUST YOU?
I’LL CLOSE MY EYES AND MAKE BELIEVE,
THAT YOU’RE THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION,
AM I A FOOL? I JUST MAY BE.

I love writing original music. I can't always predict how a song will turn out but I write what I hear and simply hope it pleases ears.

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS!** 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, 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'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!👍😎✌🏼.
