This is my creative contribution to holiday music. I am Buddhist and wanted to write a song that spoke to everyone. I took inspiration from two of my favorite holiday songs: Celebrate Me Home by Kenny Loggins and Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg.

I hope you enjoy it.


Everybody Sings When It Snows

Inspired by observing and remembering what it is/was like to be in high school. 


Lyrics by Bobby Duhamel and Matt Channing

Popular Enough To Be Different

This is a simple song that I wrote for my youngest daughter. When she was young, she used to dance while I played the piano. I tried to capture my feelings over the years as I've watched her grow into a beautiful and talented young woman.

DANCE WITH CECELIA

This song deals with living with loss, in this case, losing someone to suicide. The song is about no one in particular, but more of a conglomerate of the people in my life who chose to leave this world much too soon.

YOU'RE EVERYWHERE

This is what happens when your Dad has a recording studio. Just a fun, remixed cover of "Winter Wonderland" that I recorded with the girls back in 2008.

Rockin In A Winter Wonderland 08

Not my typical love song.  Just me and a guitar.

FALL IN LOVE

A piano/vocal tune that I wrote for my middle daughter.  This is my way of letting her know that I understand.

DON'T CRY MONET

A simple story, part fact, part fiction, about a young woman who inspired me through her kindness and patience. Her smile and laughter will always have a place in my heart. Much love to you wherever you are.

EMILY

Released in 1996, Garden Gnome was the first and only release by the band, The Atom Smashers.  The Band consisted of Bobby Duhamel (myself) and Matt Channing.  All songs were written and produced by Bobby except for "Trick of the Light" which was written by Matt and "Everything"s Gonna Be Alright" which was written by Paul Blubaugh.

The album was recorded at FTM Studios in Denver Colorado and engineered by  Steve Avedis.

02 Rock In The Summertime

03 Not The Suburbs

04 Slave Girl From Orion

05 Kangaroo And You

06 White Boys Dance

I wrote this after I started using Facebook and connecting with friends that I hadn't spoken to in years.  It's kinda my way of saying thanks for all the good times and helping me remember that I never really forgot about you. 

NEVER LEFT HOME-full version

Rough track of a song I wrote a couple years after the death of my father. It's been in the archives for a while, just needed to be reworked and dressed up a bit to make it presentable.

Touch a Shadow

A simple song inspired by the birth of my first daughter.

Dance with Me on the Moon

I started this song last year around the holidays but just couldn't seem to make it work at the time. 

The lyrics are inspired by the "beatitudes" derived from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. I wanted to create a song that looked past the pomp and circumstance often associated with the "praise and worship" of the season to get to Jesus' simple yet profound lessons/teachings that I feel are at the heart of ALL spiritual practices.  My goal was to showcase the teachings of Jesus in a manner that illuminated our need as humans to connect with and care for one another, regardless of one's belief.
