Lyrics

Man of Straw

While the day's warm,  you kick away at your straw man
With the wind in your face,  you wish he would blow away
You fall to your knees  in the field of your brother
You and your silence,  you and your man of straw 

Sleeping - you and your man of straw 
You're sleeping - you and your man of straw

 Brown startled eyes  awake from a chilling breeze
You walk toward the light -  the light from a house in the distance
And loving arms  reach out to hold you
You and your silence,  you and your man of straw

 Weeping - you and your man of straw 
Yes, you are weeping - you and your man of straw

 They think you're crazy,  they think you're insane - You and your man of straw
But there's love -  unconditional love for you and your man of straw
You're living in a world  they don't understand  You and your man of straw
But there's unconditional love  for you and your man of straw.

	You Deserve Better... than Borders gigs. :p Can't you hook up with a promoter and do some opening act work? Nice '60s-folk feel tune. The guitar part is reminiscent of a leaned-down version of Dave Mason's "Only You Know and I Know," but your song has its own personality and power. --- Joe Check out my latest song called A Chance To Dream

fambroski	fambroski said 1677 days ago (October 21st, 2008)
	I wish Thanks Joe. I'm clueless, don't know the right people and I'm a late bloomer. I'm void of bitterness though. Maybe "It is to be a virtual artist". I've been thinking about that lately. Check out my latest song called The Troubadour Flies Again

Very glad you found this place, Miche...
May I offer a rather late welcome to MacJams... This place likes new members, and it's a particular treat when someone brings your high level of talent. You also bring personality and humor, and that's always a good thing. It's great to have you here.

Your skill with your guitar is remarkable, and your soulful, soaring vocal marries to it seamlessly. I am going to enjoy tracking your stay here, and I hope it lasts a good long time. I look forward to enjoying more of your gift of music.

Thanks for bringing your music to us here.

	Holy #@%^ Welcome...Welcome...Welcome What energy you are going to bring to this place (and already have for that matter). This was a nice brew of percussive guitar strumming, powerful singing with a little hint of Mr. Jareau thrown in, just awesome. Glad your here for us to hear. Check out my latest song called Tea and Scones

	You're a Class act...and you don't take it all too seriously, which is appealing. Good to see you hanging around. Check out my latest song called when you smile

SJB	SJB said 1674 days ago (October 24th, 2008)
	Great This is brilliant Miche. Your singing and playing are extremely top notch. Are you using a combined pick/fingerpicking style - the guitar sound with percussive tapping is very effective. I hope you up load some more stuff soon. Steve Check out my latest song called Harm(less)onics to Fade

fambroski	fambroski said 1674 days ago (October 24th, 2008)
	look at that bastard. Thanks stranger. Actually it's finger style ( no pick). I describe it as a bastardized flamenco technique. It's what happens when you can't get the traditional style right. When you're left handed you've got to find your own way. Check out my latest song called The Troubadour Flies Again

Pete_NB	Pete_NB said 1674 days ago (October 24th, 2008)
	Wow! I'm blown away by just how many of the fundamentals you've got nailed here. Great percussive energy in the playing, excellent dynamics and those expressive pipes of yours! Not to mention it's a well written and crafted song. Welcome to Macjams Miche, this place is all the richer for your presence. Check out my latest song called Run With Me

fambroski	fambroski said 1674 days ago (October 24th, 2008)
	Thanks Thanks Pete. I feel very welcomed here. I've never enjoyed listening to music as much as do since I've been here. Everything being connect to music and well as the people behind it. Sure, I'm into music, but I'm really into people who are in to music. This is a thrilling place (for me). Check out my latest song called The Troubadour Flies Again

kristyjo	kristyjo said 1673 days ago (October 25th, 2008)
	Wow- Love your vocal style here. It's so different from the other post I've already listened to - You are really versatile. The guitar is also excellent. So, now I know what 'bastardized flamenco' sounds like, should anybody ask me. Seriously, though, great stuff, dl&f! Check out my latest song called The Black Cat

	I'm Logical : ) Thanks Stranger. It's all done with Logic pro and a Powercore card. As a former (light weight) producer back in the days I use to beat up engineers "No, that's not what I want, could you try...", It's interesting doing it all yourself. What a joyful pain.

	Man of Straw I can feel the backbeat of this song all the way to my toes. A typical drummer comment. You must have to wear white socks to play like this!
