Me and a guitar. I think what I do might be described as "Allegorical American Music." I'm in love with the mystery of three chords, a simple melody and sometimes obtuse lyrics. In this digital world of sampled pure tones and instant "professionalism" these are songs written as simple arrangements for guitar and voice in the American song writing folk tradition. Everything is recorded straight off into a couple of mics with no "fancy" multi-tracking, sampling or "real" production. I hope you might enjoy them. - john ford

Lyrics
Down on the street Theres signs of life tonight And someone walks hand in hand She grips her vanity and turns it in the light Convinced its for the common good of man But all the while weve been kissing A well-torn photograph of time The stranger weve been missing Is that true love is always blind I remember when I was jus a boy A simple truth thats lost in time That all the gold and diamonds in the world Cant buy back what you might find But all the while weve been kissing A well-torn photograph of time The stranger weve been missing Is that true love is always blind We walk the streets in shiny uniforms And pray into an empty sky A roller coaster ride of being born A one-way ticket we cant buy But all the while weve been kissing A well-torn photograph of time The stranger weve been missing Is that true loves so hard to find
