The Last Century 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been carrying 
This guitar ‘round all week 
I’ve been so tired
 That I can’t fall asleep And I’ve been wondering about
 Things I cannot see Hear a footstep on the stair 
 When I know nobody’s there But I wonder 
If it could be 
 Somebody else like me Carrying their guitar around For a century I’ve been carrying 
The past inside of me I’ve been so sick with it The rage was blinding me And I’ve been hoping that The lives I could have lived Are still waiting for me when I find my footing once again And if I’m smiling Maybe it means Somebody else like me 
Got rid of the shadows from The last century Stayed up all night 
 With the lesser light 
Along with all dwellers of 
 This land of death-shade 
We welcome the shining of We welcome the shining of We welcome the shining of
 The light of day I’ve been carrying
 This guitar ‘round all week Getting rid of the shadows from The last century

The Skywriter 03:28
lyrics
buy track
It’s kinda funny to say it loud 
But I don’t know who I am right now And when I caught a glimpse of myself In the sliding glass door
 With the sofa behind it I wondered if I
 Have always been
 Something of an apparition Creeping around in my own socks Like my name’s not on the mailbox I guess that by now 
I thought there’d be Some kind of life-defining thing Happening I need a skywriter Spelling it out for me I felt kinda silly when I talked to my mom She said “You’re looking at this all wrong Look back and realize
 How far you’ve come I know what it feels like
 To feel unknown
 But I’ll pick up my paintbrush If you write your song” Maybe it’s good 
That I’ve always been
 Something of an apparition Creeping around kinda unseen Wide eyed at every beautiful thing So what if by now
 I thought there’d be Some kind of life-defining thing Happening 
Mama she’s a skywriter Spelling it out for me

The Lonely Hearts 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Did I know that you were broken Yeah I did but to be fair 
I thought that my self loathing Was a mate to your despair You know I kept on saying “Say you love me still”
 I didn’t know you had never 
I don’t think that you ever will I think you only see rivals
 And I was outmatched from the start Hearts are not collector’s items
 But shattered ones make works of art I call this one The Lonely Hearts Was it fair that I was hoping That both the sides would cede The ammo long collected 
But it seems we both need Something the other can’t give up Oh the world could fall 
Didn’t think it would ever 
May be time that I go to the wall Don’t want to deal in denials
 I want to see things as they are 
Hearts are not collector’s items
 Here in the ruins I guess that they are I call this one The Lonely Hearts Did you ever wake up and cry in the morning White Florida sunshine
 But inside it’s storming 
I never thought that I’d write this song I see that I’m just hanging on I don’t think we should be rivals Somehow we’re here and we are 
Hearts are not collector’s items
 Here in the ruins I guess that they are They build museums for pieces like ours Hang this one up It’s called The Lonely Hearts

The Time Traveler 03:08
lyrics
buy track
I am coming From the Land of Nod Holding my ticket And I’m looking down the tracks For the train that’ll take me back to life All the scenes are playing In my head Didn’t buy a ticket But I’ll listen to the tracks Hear the one that’ll bring me back to you Hear the wind blowing through my room Feel the wind blowing through my room I am going somewhere Somewhere I don’t know Streams are dreaming under the bridge below And the train’s coming to the station Will there be someone there waiting Hear the wind blowing through my room Feel the wind blowing through my room Hear the wind blowing through my room Feel the wind blowing through my room Train coming to the station Will there be someone there waiting

about

'I Call This One' - is a tip of of the hat to the singer songwriters over the last century who have stood on stage, guitar in hand, and introduced their next song with the words, “I call this one…”

Gileah Taylor Florida

Floridian songbird releases an epilogue to 2024's Slow Parade. The four song EP, titled I Call This One, was recorded in Tennessee with producers Gideon and Gabe Klein. The Klein brothers perfectly match the songs with their instrumentation: simply sweet, straightforward and full of heart, echoing the music that came out of Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and 70s. Released on Velvet Blue Music. ... more
