My most recent version of "Moonlight Densetsu". Still working on it, but this is how it currently sounds. =)

Moonlight Densetsu

First recording for my cover of "A World to Believe In".  Still revising parts as well as writing others.  This is one of my own ways of coping...

Originally composed by Toni Izzo

A World To Believe In

Something I wrote and performed last year.  I've spent some time working on it these last couple of weeks for various reasons.  I'm still working on it.

I Hope You Don't Forget

I love singing Céline Dion's songs, but I always have to transpose them so much, being male.  So I've begun arranging and producing instrumental versions of songs I want to sing along to.  I still have work to do on this one.

For Live Performances

Encore un soir (Instrumental)

I recorded the vocals on my iPhone.  Light editing (mostly for breaths) and mixing (a bit of reverb/delay/EQ/compression).  Still some work to be done, but overall extremely happy with this ORIGINAL song. =)

More Than Me - Single

More Than Me

A song I wrote for Céline Dion, inspired by her strength she continues to exude after losing her husband.  Still work to be done, as well as recording vocals. =)

Mon amour (Instrumental)

I can't wait to finish this song - probably the most POP song I've written in a while.  Still much work to do!

Incognito (Instrumental)

Still much work to do with this track - another song I can't wait to finish! =)

Alive (Instrumental)

"Si mes vers avaient des ailes"
D'Angelo Hampton, countertenor
Evan Snyder, piano
Reynaldo Hahn, composer

Mes vers fuiraient, doux et frêles,
Vers votre jardin si beau,
Si mes vers avaient des ailes,
Comme l’oiseau!

Il voleraient, étincelle,
Vers votre foyer qui rit,
Si mes vers avaient des ailes,
Comme l’esprit.

Près de vous, purs et fidèles,
Ils accourraient nuit et jour,
Si mes vers avaient des ailes,
Comme l’amour.

-[A New Day Has Come (Céline Dion)]-

[Verse 2]
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I’d make it through.
And the world thought I had it all,
But I was waiting for you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hush now,
I see a light in the sky, oh,
It’s almost blinding me.
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love.

[Chorus]
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears;
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears.
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun;
A new day has come.

[Break]

-[I Am]-
[Verse 1]
When your eyes catch sight of the world
The very first time it’s love.
When you reach out just to find a hand
Just the touch filled with love.
I’m on a roll.
I’m in control.

[Verse 2]
Like a rainbow flashin’ ‘cross the sky
After rain drowns your love,
I believed that you would forge a path
To the clouds far above.
Have to decide
To run or hide.

[Chorus]
Ev’ry time I walk I’m runnin’ out of time.
Ev’ry time I talk I’m runnin’ out of lines
To say today
I am…

[Bridge]
Still a child,
Still I’m lost,
Still outside.
I belong in your arms,
In your love.

[Chorus]
Ev’ry time I walk I’m runnin’ out of time.
Ev’ry time I talk I’m runnin’ out of lines
To say today
I am…

-[Home]-
Home.
I’m home.

[Verse]
After the chaos, after the storm,
What’s in a family?
So much was lost, but
So much more was found.
It took a whole other life to see

[Chorus]
That I am home.

I Am Home

A cover of Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed, if I just listened to it, right outside the window.
There days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust, and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever.

I finished crying in the instant that you left,
And I can't remember where, or when, or how,
And I banished ev'ry mem'ry you and I had ever made,

But when you touch me like this,
And you hold me like that,
I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me,
When I touch you like this,
And I hold you like that,
It's so hard to believe, but it's all coming back to me,

It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now.
There were moments of gold, and there were flashes of light,
There were things I'd never do again, but then, they'd always seemed right.
There were nights of endless pleasure,
It was more than any laws allow,

Baby, baby, if I kiss you like this,
And if you whisper like that,
It was lost long ago, but it's all coming back to me.
If you want me like this,
And if you need me like that,
It was dead long ago, but it's all coming back to me.
It's so hard to resist, but it's all coming back to me.
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now,

But it's all coming back.

There were those empty threats and hollow lies,
And whenever you tried to hurt me, I just hurt you even worse, and so much deeper.
There were hours that just went on for days,
When alone at last, we'd count up all the chances, that were lost to us forever,

But you were hist'ry with the slamming of the door,
And I made myself so strong again somehow,
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then,

But if I touch you like this,
And if you kiss me like that,
It was so long ago, but it's all coming back to me,
If you touch me like this,
And if I kiss you like that,
It was gone with the wind, but it's all coming back to me,

It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now.
There were moments of gold, and there were flashes of light,
There were things we'd never do again, but then they'd always seemed right.
There were nights of endless pleasure,
It was more than all your laws allow,

Baby, baby, baby, when you touch me like this,
And when you hold me like that,
It was gone with the wind, but it's all coming back to me.
When you see me like this,
And when I see you like that,
Then we see what we want to see, all coming back to me,
The flesh and the fantasies, all coming back to me.
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now.

If you forgive me all this,
If I forgive you all that,
We forgive and forget, and it's all coming back to me,
When you see me like this,
And when I see you like that,
We see just what we want to see, all coming back to me,
The flesh and the fantasies, all coming back to me,
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now,

(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this,
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that,
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if you do it like this,
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
