Learning With Music

Yahweh

This version captures the feeling of that moment—the one where everything briefly aligns and peace reveals itself. After countless revisions, I realized the message was always simple: pause long enough to feel it.

That moment doesn’t need to be chased. Just let it in.


Let It In (That Moment)

This is another song I put into the category of learning. Reflect, ask, and act with intention. It's all in the asking, and asking nicely.

A smooth blend of thought-provoking lyrics and soothing melodies, this track encourages introspection and mindful action. The song invites listeners to reflect on their desires and intentions, gently prompting them to ask themselves important questions about how they engage with the world around them. Through a rhythmic interplay of bass and melodies, it emphasizes the simplicity of achieving clarity by starting with a simple act—asking.

Learning To Ask, Nicely

Language learning and learning in general should be fun!  I literally wrote this song after my children were asking me about what the word meant when they were doing school work.  After giving them examples I figured I might as well write it as a song for easy reference and to make it fun!

The song explores interrogatives—who, what, when, where, how, and why—through engaging sentences that make learning more interactive. Whether you're a student, teacher, or just someone who enjoys expanding their knowledge through music, this track is a great way to reinforce key language concepts.

Interrogatives: What, Where, How, When and Why – Learning with Music

"Old Adages" is a smooth jazz track that brings classic wisdom to life. 

The most important thing about this song is that my dad liked it, and he is not a music person.

The song uses a blend of laid-back rhythms with thoughtful storytelling, and explores why certain sayings stand the test of time. With a relaxed yet introspective vibe, it serves as a reminder that "Life is a journey, not just a destination."

Whether you're sipping coffee, winding down after a long day, or just looking for some lyrical inspiration, this jazz-infused piece will have you nodding along to the wisdom of the past.

Old Adages

Old Adages – A Chill Jazz Reflection on Timeless Wisdom

Written in a moment of internal noise, this version reminds us that peace doesn't come by force. It's not about chasing calm or pretending everything’s okay—it's about making space to feel what’s already reaching out to you.

Don’t force it. Don’t push it. Don’t pull it. Just… let it in.

STOP FORCING IT

Let It In (Stop Forcing It)

A quiet invitation wrapped in a gentle push. Let It In is about the moment when peace calls—not with force, but with forbearance. This spoken word track opens with reflection, guiding listeners into the tension between stillness and surrender. Andy Brotherton shares a message we rarely give ourselves permission to hear: it’s okay to feel, to pause, and to let something greater find its way in.

Let It In (With a Nudge)

This is not a love song. It’s a line drawn in clay—where shadows of children stand at the edge of a cracked court, waiting for someone to stay.

A father, holding the ball.
Two rackets on the ground.
A world distracted.

This is the soundtrack of presence.
For every father who didn’t leave—who couldn’t.

“With strings in my hand, and a love I can send…”

Listen. Walk. Remember.

Serve Me Love

Quiero saber si es amor (feat. Joy)

A soft-spoken, soul-jazzy reflection on surrender and presence.

This version of Let It In is about peace that doesn’t rush—one that knows when to arrive, and how to flow without force.

“Don’t force it. Don’t push it. Don’t even pull it.”

Sometimes the best thing we can do is open the door and let spirit do its thing.
