"This is God Lovin' You" is an upbeat, Contemporary Christian song written by Dan Ferrari about the unmistakeable presence of God in the world and how God's goodness and love are manifested in the joys, trials, triumphs and struggles of life. "This is God Lovin' You" was recorded at Engine Sound Studios NYC by Matt Anthony and was meant to express Dan's faith journey while capturing the fun, uplifting, hooky elements of Pop/Country songs like "Leave the Night On" by Sam Hunt and "Sleep Without You" by Brett Young.

This is God Lovin' You

Dan Ferrari's infectious, upbeat, pop-rock tune "Never Not Want You" can be heard during the climax/turning point of the feature film Play the Game (starring Andy Griffith, Doris Roberts, Paul Campbell, Liz Sheridan and Marla Sokoloff). This song was also cut by Austrian Idol winner Oliver Wimmer on his debut release 14 Hours (Top 20 - Warner Germany).

Never Not Want You

Dan wrote "Unbelieve" in L.A. with Kevin Savigar (Rod Stewart, Pat Benatar, Kelsea Ballerini)who also produced the track. "Unbelieve" is a high-energy, emotionally-driven track about lost love and the desire to mind-erase a past relationship.

UNBELIEVE

"UnRepeatable" is a fun, uplifting tune about the individuality of each and every person. As Dan writes, "There's never gonna be another way God can speak His love quite the same as He can through your life cuz you're one of a kind." Dan urges the listener to reflect on his/her uniqueness in an effort to encourage them to be who God created them to be in order to follow what God's will is for their life. 

Dan wrote "UnRepeatable" after finishing the Matthew Kelly book "Resisting Happiness." The song in many ways is inspired by the message of the book - a message to conquer the resistance one may face in following God's will and being who God created them to be. The mantra of Dynamic Catholic, becoming the best version of yourself, and understanding that only then can one truly be happy, goes hand-in-hand with the message of "UnRepeatable."

Dan wrote "UnRepeatable" on his own and had the song produced by Matt Anthony at Engine Sound NYC. "UnRepeatable" is the title track of Dan's up-coming release due out in mid-February 2017.

“Ain't No American Dream”
written by Dan Ferrari and Janice FitzGerald

Been pushin 24/7, Turned it up to 11
Tryna build us our own piece of heaven
With the white picket fence
But it don’t make sense
If I'm workin more n more
But lovin' you less

The fruits of all the seeds we planted
Mean nothin' if I take you for granted

It aint no American Dream to me 
If you’re not mine, not by my side
It ain’t no American Dream to me 
If you’re not with me on this ride
All the stuff a guy could need
The finest house you’ve ever seen
Ain’t no American Dream you see oh no
If you ain’t in it with me... 

Remember our first apartment, 
Wine stains on the carpet 
We were livin' on love, yeah just gettin' started 
Threw a mattress on the floor, didn’t need much more 
Cuz holdin' onto you was all I ever wished for

In your eyes I see what matters
 It ain’t all about climbin’ that ladder

This life without you I can't fathom, baby
All the riches in the world ain’t worth havin’ baby

Aint no American Dream
If you ain’t in it with me
Cuz you’re all i need oh oh oh oh

Ain't No American Dream

written for Dan's fiancee in preparation for their wedding. Reflecting back on many of the moments in their dating and engaged life, including the time she dazzled the entire bar with a stunning karaoke rendition of Salt N' Peppa "Shoop," Dan realizes he has truly been blessed with the TOTAL PACKAGE!! :)

"Little Bit of Everything"
by Dan Ferrari 

On a Friday night she's the prettiest thing 
In that sweet black dress, sippin' wine at a table for 2
Hazel eyes lightin’ up the whole room
Then when Sunday comes, she'll be turnin them heads 
In her Jets jersey at the tailgate, raisin' a brew 
Gameface all afternoon

She's a brilliant morning sunrise
She's a firecracker burnin' up the night sky 
She's a little bit of everything 

At her old college bar, everybody knows her name 
And they beg her to do the karaoke song she's famous for
Salt n’ Peppa " Shoop" makes the crowd roar 
At her hometown church, they all love to watch her pray
Hands folded like an angel just talkin' to the God she knows
Pastor told me don't let her go (and I won't!)

She's a brilliant morning sunrise
She's a firecracker burnin' up the night sky 
She's a little bit of everything 
She can calm the storms in your mind 
Then she'll make you laugh till you cry 
She's a little bit of everything

There ain't a thing she don't bring to the table nah
The fact is, she's the total package
The way God made her..

CHORUS

She's a little bit of everything
And I'm so lucky she's my everything
I won't give her up for anything
She's a little bit of everything..

Little Bit of Everything

"Tremendously" is a hook-laden country love ballad written by Dan Ferrari for his wife Caitlin for their wedding song. The song captures the power of giving it all and pouring one's heart out in devotion over the course of a lifetime. 

"Tremendously"
by Dan Ferrari

There's only one way to love
If you ain't all-in, it ain't enough
If you ain't giving everything
It ain't worth anything

That's the way that I love you
Totally, faithfully, true 
Holdin' back nothin' so you'll always know 
You're the only one I want 
Baby, it's you

So I’m gonna keep it goin' 
Pour out my devotion 
Wider than the ocean 
Bigger than a star-filled summer night sky

Like a river rushin' uncontrollably
Like an April storm pourin’ endlessly 
Like the strongest wind rippin’ through Tennessee
I love you, I love you, I love you relentlessly
Like the morning sun shinin' so heavenly
Like a hilltop view that brings you to your knees 
Like the roarin’ waves of the endless sea
I love you, I love you, I love you tremendously

Now I never wanna be alone
And they say, “go big or go home”
So I’m gonna keep givin’ 
Hopin’ God keeps giftin’ us 
With many years ‘til we get old

And I ain't never stoppin’
No one else is toppin’ 
All the love I'm droppin’
Fiercer than the meanest fall hurricane

(CHORUS)

Listen, baby I’m gonna love you relentlessly
I tell you baby I’ll always love you tremendously (x2)

(CHORUS)

Tremendously (sung by Matt Dame)

Dan's "Engagement song!" - Dan debuted "All Yours 4 All Time" as part of his proposal to his now-wife, Caitlin, in July of 2016. The song was co-written with Noel Cohen as Dan was in the midst of ring shopping and planning his proposal! She said "YES!" ;)

"All Yours 4 All Time"
By Dan Ferrari and Noel Cohen

Here I am trembling with this ring in my hand
And a lifetime of love to give
Here I am wondering: will you take me as I am?
Cuz without you I can’t live

I wanna kiss you to sleep and wake up in your arms
Til’ the day that I die

So let me be all yours for all time
And forevermore you’ll be all mine
For rich or for poor we’ll be by each other’s side
And I’ll be all yours for all time

Before you I was struggling, just stumblin’ in the dark
Like a candle without a flame
But you came along and you opened the door to my heart
Now I’ll never be the same

I wanna kiss you to sleep and wake up in your arms
Til’ the day that I die

So let me be all yours for all time
And forevermore you’ll be all mine
For rich or for poor we’ll be by each other’s side
And I’ll be all yours for all time

Baby, God couldn’t have made you more perfect for me
And he led you right into my arms so beautifully
We got somethin’ so sure in this world of uncertainty
So please say you’ll love me for all eternity

And I’ll be all yours for all time
And forevermore you’ll be all mine
For rich or for poor we’ll be by each other’s side
And I’ll be all yours for all time

All Yours 4 All Time (Remix)

“God in My Corner”

When life’s backin’ me up
Against the ropes
When I’m losin’ control
Losin’ hope
I fix my eyes upon You, Lord
And all my battles become Yours
Your grace comes to my aid, and I ain't alone 

In a world so vicious and unkind 
I'm invincible with You by my side

You put the most joy I've ever felt inside of me
You bring the best right out of me 
You remind me there is nothing I can't be 
Nothing we both can't achieve
And if there was a mountain, we'd climb it 
A way through a roadblock, we'd find it 
In spite of trials, I am always gettin' stronger
With You, God, in my corner

When doubt's takin' me down,
And fear invades
When darkness confuses my soul
And there's no escape
I cast my cares on You, my King
Then it's victory I sing 
At Your sight, the enemy shrinks
And I'm not afraid

In the valley where my faith is tried
I'm unbeatable with You as my guide

Blessed be the Lord, my Rock
Who trains my hands for battle
My fingers for war (x2)

"Blessed be the Lord, my Rock / Who trains my hands for battle / My fingers for war / My safe guard and my fortress/ My stronghold / My deliverer" -Psalm 144

GOD IN MY CORNER

Clouds
by Dan Ferrari

Don't it feel like we've been down this same road before
You and I both know faith ain't easy to restore
Give it some time and you might just climb out of it
It's heavy right now but the burden will start to lift 

Head up to the clouds
Listening to the sound 
Of angels chanting your name
Takes you to a new place

Comin back to all the
things you never could forget
Risin' up slow like the smoke from that cigarette
Get your release from the lessons we learn from youth
All in due time these doubts help you see the truth

(Chorus)

La da da da dum daaaa 
La da da da dum daaaaa da

(Chorus)

"Someone Called Jesus"
written by Dan Ferrari
(artwork by Fr. Peter Gray)

Pick your head up
Someone's here to calm the storm
Open your heart
Even the furthest is not too far gone

There is triumph, there is healing, there is hope!

There is someone called Jesus
There's a mercy that frees us
There's a love you can savor
In the arms of the Savior
He's the Pathway to greater
Peace and light
Heaven's come down to meet us 
There is someone called Jesus

Show Him your scars
He's no stranger to the pain
Give Him your tears
Let His power make you whole again

There's forgiveness, there is comfort, there is hope!

(CHORUS)

There is someone called Messiah, Redeemer, 
Savior and friend 
Give all of yourself to the One
Who was raised from the dead

(CHORUS)

Someone Called Jesus

“STRENGTHEN”
By Dan Ferrari

What would I do without You, Lord? 
Who would I be if I could not call myself Yours?
Where would I go without the home You’ve shown me
Resting in Your arms?
What would I do without You, Lord? 

You strengthen my will
Wanna tie it to Yours, tie it to Yours
You strengthen my hope
Yeah You’re lifting me up cuz You want me to soar
You strengthen my faith
In the victory Your death has won for us all
And when I’m unsure of the plans You unfold
You strengthen my soul
You strengthen my soul

I was so empty before You
But You’re the one who comes and makes everything new
Now I am alive inside as Your light fills me up 
I’m living proof 
I’ve been set free by the Truth

(CHORUS)

My will, my faith
Are stronger every day
You fill me with hope
Jesus, Your Grace is out of control
Cuz You strengthen my soul

(CHORUS)

STRENGTHEN

Meet Me Where I Am

Never Felt Better
written by Dan Ferrari & Yuri Zwadiuk
produced by Yuri, sung by Dan

I wanna thank you
For doin’ whatcha do
For takin’ this lonely soul 
And makin’ me lose control
It’s like I was lost at sea
Then you came and rescued me
Now I’ll never be the same
Seein’ the world a whole new way

And I won’t ever let you go

I’m walking on the clouds and singin’
Lovin’ the light the sun is bringin’
I’ve never felt better in my life
Wanna take it all in, be reckless
Oh the possibilities are endless
I’ve never felt better in my life

You make me feel alive
You make me feel alive
You make me feel alive
Whoah oh

I gotta confess
I was a perfect mess
Then you took me up so high
Showin’ me how to fly 
Now I can’t remember 
Life before you entered
Finally I feel complete
Baby, I love your energy 

And I won’t ever give you up

CHORUS

Life is good, so good
Life is good
So good when you’re next to me
(You make me feel alive)

Never Felt Better

“How You Make a Life”
by Dan Ferrari 

May friends and strangers always be 
Better for runnin’ into you
Put the work in, leave complainin’ out
And to your word stay true

May the stars and stripes, flyin high
Always fill your heart with pride
Make gratitude your main attitude
Yeah, that’s how you make a life 

Long walks, slow kisses
Less talkin’ and more listening 
When you fall, get back up
If you’re wrong, make things right 

Big dreams, small worries
Attention beats hurry 
Never fake who you are
Love deep and take things light

Give all you can and keep heaven in your sights
That’s how you make a life 
That’s how you make a life

Pay your respects, earn a good name
And spend yourself on love
And when you’ve just had it
Have a good chat with your loving God above 

Family comes first, so don’t wait a second
To show how much they mean
Let Sundays at grandma’s, nephew’s ball games,
And church always be your scene 
Yeah, it’s a good recipe 

(CHORUS)

(CHORUS)
Yeah, learn from the past but don’t let today slip by
That’s how you make a life

How You Make a Life

“My Go-To”
by Dan Ferrari
produced by Matt Anthony @ Engine Sound Studios NYC

I go to you to lift me up when I’m feelin’ down
I go to you to bring the sun when all I see are clouds 
I go to you to fill me up when I got nothin’ left 
I go to you to give me strength to take that next step

And I go from broken
To feelin’ like my future’s wide open 

You’re my go-to
Whenever I’m close to givin’ up
You remind me that I’m more than enough 
You’re my go-to
Life’s not supposed to be so rough 
But when it is
With you by my side I know I got this 
With you by my side I know I got this
You’re my go-to

When life gets overwhelming, you say just take breath
You let me know I’m not alone and help me conquer it
And when I need direction, you help me see the way
Whether I’m laughin’ or I’m cryin’ there you are with me

And I go from empty 
To knowing that some one really gets me 

(CHORUS)

You’re the one I wanna go to
In stormy weather
You’re the one I wanna go to 
Cuz you make it better
You’re the one I wanna go to 
Yeah, yeah

(CHORUS)
