So excited to release this song. It’s neo-60′s pop, heavily influenced by the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and the breathtaking Françoise Hardy. Lots of sunny harmonies. I recorded it in Nashville, TN with Ryan Bernal in his home studio. I tracked all the instruments; Ryan made it sound all warm and happy.

You can listen to “I Found You” streaming on YouTube. And if you happen to like it, it’s now available on iTunes or Amazon.com.

Here are the lyrics:

All my life I’ve seen love in everyone else

I got the idea, didn’t know for myself

You caught my eye and at once I could tell

There was something there

Then my friends they all asked, “How long will it take?”

I said, “I’m not sure, but I’m willing to wait.”

After so many years I can finally say

I’ve got someone who cares

I Found You

It’s about time, too

I finally found you

Back when I was alone I had nothing to do

I’d sit in my room dreaming about you

What you might be like, what all you’d like to do

and the colour of your eyes

I’d say, “Maybe they’re blue, maybe they’re green,

maybe they’re something that I’ve never seen.”

I finally saw you, I got lost in between

the ground and the sky

I remember days long before ya

Those times when tears filled my eyes

I’d drive up and down California

Looking for something in the skies

Until that day…

I Found You

“Whiskey Revival” by James Roquemore

I’ve been waiting here long enough

My breath is baited for a shot of the good stuff

Line ‘em up, shoot ‘em down, line ‘em up again

Don’t need a lot to make me feel alright

I’m only lonely from 9 to 5

Line ‘em up, shoot ‘em down, line ‘em up again

When I say, “Bottom’s up!” you gotta shoot ‘em down

Once we’re fired up we’re gonna dance it out

With a bottle and a Bible

Start a Whiskey Revival

Somebody spin another drinkin’ song

The kind that keep us singin’ all night long,

“Line ‘em up, shoot ‘em down, line ‘em up again.”

Filled with the Spirit now we’ve come alive

We’ve waited all week for a Friday night

Line ‘em up, shoot ‘em down, line ‘em up again

When I say, “Bottom’s up!” you gotta shoot ‘em down

Once we’re fired up we’re gonna dance it out

Take a bottle and a Bible

Come on, Whiskey Revival

Start a Whiskey Revival

I made a list, as I often do, of things that I’d like to do this summer; I do hope that you’ll join me in one or more of the following!

Network and meet new people in Nashville

Learn to Argentine tango

Celebrate the weddings of two different Sarah’s

Buy a new guitar, amp, and DSLR

Complete pre-production of the new record

Make fun videos of travel and music and life

Always be writing new songs, new ideas

CouchTour from here to Florida

Travel for business, travel for pleasure

Learn to cook a few things

Dance swing and blues!

Beach days and movie nights

Spend time with friends and family in Florida

Perform around Nashville on a regular basis

Go to NYC!

Less like me, more like Jesus

Enjoy my last summer living at home

I hope you all have a wonderful summer and I hope to share it with you soon!
