Listenin' to Tyrone




This offering from singer/songwriter Tyrone Wells moves me.
His entire repertoire is worth a listen.

  1. Nice, Jonas. I went to YouTube and listened to several. I liked the one on the video your posted the best. On some of them, the lyrics seem a little forced so they'll rhyme.

  2. Oh Jonas. Another glorious gift. I unwrapped it slowly. The ribbon of sound, the paper of lyric, and then just sat with them both in my lap.

    For anyone else who would like them:
    ♫ Another Day slips away
    and i get this feeling that nothing has changed
    but these years keep coming like waves
    they wash over me day after day
    i just watch them rolling by
    standing here beneath the sky

    and i cant hold the hands of time
    they will move like they will move
    but i can hold your hand in mine
    give my time and give my heart
    its all that i can do

    another night is flying by
    somebody's born, somebody dies
    i wanna look deep in your eyes
    i wanna live and i want to cry

    and i cant hold the hands of time
    they will move like they will move
    but i can hold your hand in mine
    give my time and give my heart
    its all that i can do

    i'll just watch it rolling by
    here with you beneath the sky

    and i cant hold the hands of time
    they will move like they will move
    but i can hold your hand in mine
    give my time and give my heart
    its all that i can do

    Oh, take my time
    Take my heart
    Cuz they belong to you
    It's all that I can do♫

  3. I "discovered" Tyrone Wells just days ago. I was watching an old rerun of "Rescue Me" and heard this song in the background. I had to find the song/singer. Turns out Tyrone Wells has been around for a number of years and has a rather ardent following (understandably). His lyrics and his voice simply get to me.

    For those interested in hearing more, here are my favorites:

    Let Go - hits a bit too close to home...I take it in small doses.

    Looking at Her Face - yeah, I know that feeling.

    More - personal anthem

    Sea Breeze - Yes!

    Enjoy! Hope you're happily pedaling through life!

  6. Brother Chris! So glad you dropped by. Glad to know that Tyrone appeals to you too. Other than Feist, your suggestions are unknowns to me. I'll check them out 'cuz, ya know, your recommendations are almost always spot on.

    I'm not pedaling at all nowadays. I got a pinched nerve problem that isn't going away. Keeping my fingers crossed.
