the closest i've come to that seasonal sound

my fingers moved like this-001

Inspired by the American Songwriter Association’s weekly prompt to write a song about yourself, “Not That Girl” reflects my journey through divorce and rediscovering my strength.

Thank you for listening, liking, 
and reposting.

Not That Girl

I’m going to the hospital next week for an risky procedure, indefinite period and won’t be posting anything new.
I hope everything goes well and that I’ll be back. If not, thank you all for the support and the many positive vibes. Stay safe and take care of yourselves.

The Other Side

Just finished this afternoon. Looks can be deceptive. Never judge someone without knowing them !

Beneath the tartan sky so grey 
A heart can sing A heart can stray 
You see my face But nae my soul 
Do ye ken the part that makes me whole  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear
 The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  

The heather blooms on hills of green
 But thorns lie hidden Sharp Unseen 
A voice can charm A smile can glow 
But the story’s more than what it shows  

Turn the pages Take your time 
Feel the rhythm Hear the rhyme  

Don’t judge a book by its cover My dear 
The truth’s in the pages The love’s in the tears 
A glance won’t tell you The depth of the sea 
Look closer Love And you’ll truly see me  


Like a kilted breeze that whispers low 
There’s more to me than I let show 
Unravel the threads Weave the truth anew 
And find a heart that beats for you

Don’t judge a book by its cover .mp3

She Wouldn't Dance

      I wrote this song about 25 years ago but I dusted it off and gave it an ultra-funky remix back in 2022. Can you dig it? Santa's a little lonely without Mrs. Claus giving him some sugar but I know he'll somehow funk his way through it! Cheers!

     I had a fabulous time putting the video together and threw in a wicked guitar lead in there as well! There is nothing like watching Santa get down, right? So Ho, Ho, Holy Moly! Get ready to get Jingly with it and get down with Mr. Jelly Belly this year!! I think that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year but without that special someone in your life it could become just another day but let's not let that happen, please! Have a very Merry Funky Christmas everybody and have a safe & Happy New Year too! 🎅🧑🏻‍🎄🤶☃️👀💝💝💝

“CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT YOU”

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR WITHOUT YOU,
SANTA'S JUST ANOTHER MAN WITH A BEARD WITHOUT YOU,
AND THE OLD CHRISTMAS TREE, DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME TO ME,
AND ALL THE YULE-TIDE SONGS NOW SOUND A BIT OFF KEY,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU LEFT ME,
THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY IS UNCLEAR, SINCE YOU LEFT ME, 
EVERY GOOD GIRL AND BOY,
MAY BE FILLED WITH CHRISTMAS JOY,
BUT CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU LEFT ME, SINCE YOU LEFT ME BABY,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF ALL MAKES ME CRY,
SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
RUDOLPH'S NOSE MAY SHINE BRIGHT, 
IN FRONT OF SANTA'S SLEIGH TONIGHT,
AND THE SNOW MAY BE FALLING,
BUT SOMEHOW IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR ME TO MISS YOU,
JUST ANOTHER DAY I WON'T GET TO SEE OR KISS YOU,
TILL SANTA BRINGS YOU BACK TO ME, 
AND PUTS YOU UNDER MY CHRISTMAS TREE,
CHRISTMAS WILL BE JUST ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT YOU,
WITHOUT YOU BABY, WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU BABY.

**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!👍😎✌🏼.
