One Year Anniversary~

  • Today would have been the end of my 52 Songs a Year project, but I had no idea the year that was in store for me, and I am so fortunate to have gotten those 20 spontaneous songs out of me, and I have all of you guys and gals to thank for the love. Thanks for being there.
  • I have created a new music blog which will document new songs and more. Please keep in touch and here’s to moving forward!  THE SONGS THEREAFTER @  http://thefruitandthefire.tumblr.com

Song #20 of 52: “I BRING FORTH”

Written today: 4.12.10

I wanted to get one more tune in before I am forced to take a hiatus for a little while. I will be back soon with tunes that friends help me compose while I am out of commission. Thanks friends and family for being the best hope I could have. I am feeling stronger and I can do this. This past week has been filled with beautiful things and beautiful people. 

Here’s to moving forward…

As you might have noticed, my project was put on “hold” for a few weeks. Some circumstances have arose that made things a little more difficult but I am pulling through it and hope to continue to create music in all mediums. I have songs that simply need to be put online but this one is pertinent to today. Two catch-up songs to come in the near future.

This one was written today: 3/30/10

We’ll call this Song #18 for now::: “THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD”

Thank you, friends and fam. You are my rocks.

SONG 16 OF 52: “BETTER DAYS”

A song for clarity and a song for the hopeful feeling in my gut. I think it’s calling for a string arrangement.

SONG 15 OF 52: “MORE THAN TIME”

I think it’s important to know that there’s something out there who cares about you. And it’s important to care about someone. Well, I sure care about a lot of someones, but this particular song also has to do with making the most of your moments, and showing that it’s possible to go beyond what you see front of you.

Thanks to Jack Byers for letting me take a week with his beautiful Martin. Each Martin is so unique and there’s just nothing like Jack’s guitar. A new guitar is a new writing experience, I’ve learned.

SONG 13 OF 52: “ELECTRIC WAY”

I have reached 1/4 of the way through this project and it feels really good. Lucky #13. I’d like to thank Angela Miles (check out her incredible artwork at www.carpediemconstruction.com) for giving me some words of inspiration / a fun challenge that created this song. I’d also like thank my amazing friends for being so supportive.

Let’s dance.
