Lyrics

leave him-he's just a shadow now...
he'll follow where you run

fading/soon as you find
your place in the sun...

burning/in her jealous glare,
she beats him 'til he falls...

-now leave him/as he curls
into something soft and small...

-you start so pure,
but you'll fade in time...
-soon your heart is filled
with cheap, red wine...

Leaving spaces, perfectly aged
This is one of your short poem songs that works as a
short, underdeveloped idea due to the subject. This is
almost a prelude type song, would work perfectly as an
opening track or an inter-track transitional ditty that goes
into a fuller piece, or you could develop it further too. (At
the very end you can hear a "ch" sound, like someone
moving to turn off the recording device, which might be
muted out for better effect.) I am a wine lover, and you
use this metaphor well, for both the preciousness of
things and how beauty is so easily crushed; for the fine
line between good and cheap, and the process that makes
the difference; and the way we can drown our problems in
it, filling us up and making matters worse. Again, you
keep the space between your lyrics free for the listener to
fill in, enabling us to engage creatively with your poetic
observations and delicate expressions. I love your stuff.

	No one can claim they don't have time to listen to your song! :-) I know you never get tired of hearing that... you'll need to bring us some new three minute epics soon. I really like the mellow, contemplative style of this- guitar sound is terrific and the soft yet husky vocal makes this song complete. Nice work, as always! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Ths is fine, fine song I don't mind its length at all. Well written and performed. I enjoy your singing very much.

Ths is fine, fine song
I am with Mungo. I think your songs at their current length represent a kind
of genius of sorts. O at least a refusal to make your songs fit a certain
criteria.

Is that genius? Or stubborness?

Regardless, another fine piece. And I am wondering if your home studio setup
has changed? Your recent fruit-flavored songs sound so much better in terms
of audio quality.

	Great diddy! I could see a key change right where the song ends! It might add some more grape flavor?

	I've been waiting... for another Jonx tune! I knew this was one of yours by the title- one word lowercase. Another good one, as usual. You should publish a book of poems with a CD that goes with it. I t would be like a book-on-tape for poetry lovers!! Check out my latest song called Monica's Waltz

	2 buck chuck Like it alot. The little cymbal touches at the end of your songs are nice signatures. Love the fact that it's part of a bigger concept. I also would like to hear more. Perhaps an instrumental followed by a second part. Seems like it could bust out a bit more, get a bit heavier. Check out my latest song called former witchcraft

	Great! This song IS really short...but it truly does work well here. Perhaps I just have A.D.D. I like your voice and the tone you captured of the acoustic guitar is impressive. But best of all is your lyrics...a beautiful song. thanks, Check out my latest song called Ceci n'est pas une Fender

	I can really taste the berry Very juicy. Love the lyrics and your voice, although I wish you would sing out just a tad more. That's 'cause I'd like to hear more! That's all. Double Yum.

	What?! It's over? NO FAIR It ends where the rave up should start. It's beautiful and deserves the full song treatment (whatever that is). Check out my latest song called Vainglorious

Brevity...
... The long and short of it:

Long on pleasant melody, vocals, performance and
production. Short on development.

Good? Bad? Who knows? Who cares? Genius, as
atwood1956 speculates?

Well, when I consider the amount of time I spend coming
up with choruses and bridges and instrumental breaks to
my tunes... then, yes... pure genius! :D

Your vocal style is somewhat reminiscent of Cat Stevens,
with mild overtones of the 60s pop troubador, Donovan.
Very nice, indeed.

But if you continue to insist on exposing your talents in
"briefs," I'm afraid I'm going to have to call the authorities.
:D
