This one is really different for me. It went through a lot of changes – from something completely wacky to the more straight version we have here.
A few words about “Grass Stained Twilight” – After much deliberation we chose the self-publishing route which has been great but limited our options. Originally there was going to be a 5 song cd included with the book. Now, it will be available separately as a full length cd – available here soon!
Here’s the “Heart On My Sleeve (Same Old Suit)” song lyrics:
I was afraid this might happen – Not the suit I should’ve worn – If I had made the right selection – I could’ve pulled the sleeve over my heart – Instead I went and put on the coat – Even though I knew the arms really weren’t very long – Inside I’d found – the note I’d wrote – Not to wear this again ’cause the pants had fit wrong – Tried to stay away from humiliation – Instead I stayed away from everyone – I was afraid this might happen – Not the suit I should’ve worn – If I
had made the right selection – I could’ve pulled the sleeve over my
heart – It would have meant having to do all those things that I said there was no time to get done – It would have meant having to dance in shoes I knew I loved but had never tried on – But without the slightest hesitation – I went and wore that same old suit for everyone – They point and say that I should’ve kept it on me – But the pockets in these pants are much too deep – I was afraid this might happen – Never thought they all might leave – Turns out I made the wrong selection – When I wore my heart on my sleeve

Love the lyrics….wow, I’m so proud to say you are my son. (I’ll have to listen to the music at home since it might be a bit distracting to play this in the library while everyone is studying!)
Love that song — awesome composition and great vocals, especially when you belt it out.
Hey Todd…very cool website! I am so glad you are utilizing the talent you have and sharing it with others! I loved your voice way back when you were a rising musician…I am glad you have risen!
