Name: PastMyPrime AR Demo by Ann Ramsey
Duration: 2 min 27 s
Description: A self-described "young old lady" tries to beat back the infirmities of age, wearing her orthopedics at the health club. She's musing about her desire to learn song-writing and hopes it's not too late. Bewildered by the current state of pop music, she wishes Tom Petty were still around. Demo of a humorous novelty song.

Based on a real adoption listing by the humane society of Chattanooga, TN, I wrote the backstory of Nash the Dog and turned it into a ballad. He's not found his forever home yet, the listing says, because he is "prey-attracted." In other words, he was trained to hunt, and he's good at it. Poor Nash! He's a good dog.

Nash The Hunting Dog

Sunnyvale

A brief look into a failed romance that blossomed briefly between a midwestern college girl and a New England forester. "She met him by a crackling fire..."  A short, bittersweet song with a pretty melody, memorable chorus, and elegant guitar part. This is a live demo, recorded & mixed by a professional studio.

Far Away

"...There IS more to unite us than divide. Let's live like we believe There Is Only One America. Together that's what we will be. God Bless America, land that I love! "
2026 will be the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. What will America be like in 2 years? Which President and leaders best reflect the America our 250 year history is worthy of?

There is no other America. Where else is there the freedom and opportunity we have? That's why people flock to our borders. But our brokenness and division can only overcome with God's help and Grace, and with much forgiving and remembering our Blessings with Gratitude. Let's come together!

Only One America

Tell Your Story
(c) Christine Winchester 2023  

VERSE 1	When you're small and hiding out in fear
problems loom and no one wants to hear
You ugly cry yourself to sleep at night
and in the morning smile and be polite
 
CHORUS 1	Write it down, Tell a friend, Gotta tell your story
Call it out, Tell the world what you gotta say
 Gotta tell it true, Gotta tell it real, But cha just gotta start
 Gotta come from you tellin' how you feel, Gotta come from heart
 
Chorus 2	Gotta write, Gotta sing, Gotta tell your story
You might never know what good it brings
If you make me see, If you make me hear what ya gotta to say,
You might just heal, you might just feel a little more okay
 
Bridge 1	
You'll find the right words to say. Your voice is your power. 
Your story matters today. 
Then you'll see all the things you were once denied come to you, so clear and justified 

Verse 2	Sing a solo Stand out from the crowd
A monologue you gotta shout out loud
Find the ones who resonate with you
Find your people, they’re looking for you, too 
 
Chorus 3	Gotta write, Gotta sing, Gotta tell your story
You might never know what good it brings
If you make me see, If you make me hear what ya gotta to say
I might just heal, I might just feel a little more okay
 
Chorus 4 	So I write, So I sing just to tell my story
I'm unique, I'm the only me there is
I can't tell yours, you can't tell mine, we live our own days 
We express and we inspire in our own ways
 
Bridge 2
We'll find the right words to say. Our voice is power. 
Our stories matter today!
Then you'll see all the things you were once denied come to you, so clear and justified.

And we care when you share about anything
We are here, We are here, we are listening

Verse 1
Jules
She's gathering the clues
To rearrange and use
To guide her travels
Untie the ravels
Of wayward shoes

Verse 2
Like faded daffodils
Her favorite espadrilles
She walks by mansions
With marble stanchions
To Russian Hill

Chorus
And she knows and she knows and she knows
Higher is the place where she'll belong
And she goes and she goes and she goes
Finally somewhere she can sing her song

Verse 3
Night
Julie lights a light
To give her clearer sight
Of her power
Like Coit Tower
She's shining bright

Chorus
and she knows and she knows and she knows
Higher is the place where she'll belong
And she goes and she goes and she goes
Finally somewhere she is free
there Like Kerouac in '53 there
Finally someplace she can sing her song




Jules

We'll be fighting for our rights Now Raise Your Voice,
And we'll wave our banners high Now Raise Your Voice.
We'll keep marching in the street, and we won't accept defeat.
We'll be drumming to one beat Now Raise Your Voice.
Raise Your Voice, Raise Your Voice!
We'll be fighting for our rights Now Raise Your Voice.

Verse 3
We'll be fighting for our rights So All Can Vote,
And we'll wave our banners high So All Can Vote.
We'll keep marching in the street, and we won't accept defeat.

We'll be fighting for our rights And Peace will Come.

Verse 5
We'll be fighting for our rights 'Cause Love Prevails,
And we'll wave our banners high 'Cause Love Prevails.
We'll keep marching in the street, and we won't accept defeat.
We'll be drumming to one beat 'Cause Love Prevails.
Love Prevails, Love Prevails!
We'll be fighting for our rights 'Cause Love Prevails.
