They grow up so fast. Don't let a moment slip by without appreciating what a blessing they are in your life. So grateful to have spent Ryan's birthday with him.

The Little Things (Mike Breen) From the CD "Past Lives" on Basilbone Records (feat. Jenny Lynn Young on
Electric Cello)

I watched him walk to his car
open up the hood
Check the oil, check the radiator
give it one last look
Then turn and with a smile
said “don’t wait up for me”
then he held out his hand
I gave him the keys

Hey, wait a minute
where’d the little things go
little hands, little smile, little nose
Where’d the little things go

I could feel my heart racing
as I watched him pull away
“A fine boy you’ve got there”
I heard the neighbor say
I smiled choked back a tear
and said “you know you’re right”
but I couldn’t help thinking
as he drove out of sight

Hey, wait a minute
where’d the little things go
little hands, little smile, little nose
Where’d the little things go

Well, his Mom and me we asked
each other
where the time had gone
and the little cars and fire trucks
and bikes on the lawn
Went up to bed early
but didn’t sleep at all
just listened to the ticking of
the clock up on the wall
Then suddenly the sweetest sound
we could ever know
the squealing of his brakes
in the driveway below

Hey, wait a minute
where’d the little things go
little hands, little smile, little nose
Where’d the little things go

What Reviewers Are Saying:

His vocal delivery is warm and inviting. His story lines are conversations about life and observations on its living moments. “Baby’s Comin’ in on a Plane” lets you feel the excitement of the guy at the gate whose heart beats a little faster with each departing passenger, “Cristina Valencia” slips south of the border to plead to the lady in the title for a little love light from her dark eyes and “Carnival Queen” walks the midway with love at your side." -Alternate Root Magazine.

"It's always a pleasure to hear an independant CD that delivers the goods past the first cut and this release from Breen is such an example." Sing Out Magazine

"A consistent quality rolls right through the third solo album and instro debut from singer-songwriter Mike Breen. On Mescal Mary & Other B Bender Guitar Instrumentals, Breen performs masterfully on the B and G bender guitar, a guitar device invented by one time Byrds guitarists Clarence White and Gene Parsons to resemble the sounds of the pedal steel guitar. Breen mixes his tasty electric work with his added banjo, mandolin and flatpicking guitar sounds." " 20th Century Guitar by Robert Siverstein

I still have physical copies of two of my CDs - All Night Long and - Past Lives - available on my Facebook Shop!
