When you strip away the vocals, the words and most of the band, what story does a song tell? This song says...

Sorry (Acoustic)

This is the acoustic version of 'Ten Reasons' which appears on my album 'Squander.' How do you find hope when all hope is lost? Listen...

Ten Reasons (Acoustic)

This is a slower version of 'Sitting With a Stranger' which features an arrangement worked out with my dear friend Eric Sproull. It was played by the wonderful members of the Kazanetti String Quartet. Instead of opposing the sadness in the lyrics (which address the diagnosis, treatment and recovery from cancer), this version embraces it. From the Doppler Recording Sessions, this Duet features the incredibly talented Valerie Miller. The recording was done to promote Breast Cancer Awareness and specifically the Pink Ribbon Story Foundation. www.pinkribbonstories.org

Stranger in the Room ~ Dean Collins & Valerie Miller (Mastered)

Unconditional Love is the greatest love of all. We understand this as children, but as we age...we forget. This song is about re-learning what love really is.  Sometimes the youngest pupil is the greatest teacher...

Emily (Mastered)

When all hope is lost, we need something to hold on to. This is about finding strength when in that place. Rise...

Ten Reasons (Mastered)

On January 15, 1947, the mutilated body of Elizabeth Short was found in Los Angeles. The case was never solved, justice was never served and the Press put selling Newspapers before catching a brutal murderer. Elizabeth died twice, in a sense. This is her story.

Glasgow Smile (Mastered)

Leaving someone at when they are at their lowest sometimes allows them to become their strongest. Sometimes greatest strength comes from the smallest source...


Little Hand (Mastered)

Cry Yourself To Sleep (Mastered)

Even after the Darkest Night, Sunrise comes. This song is about that moment; a moment of possibilities, a blank slate. It is about remembering what is important. It is about Hope...

Coming Back To Me (Mastered)

"We all start with nothing, and we all end with nothing; so nothing's all we have to lose." At the end of this wonderful journey of Life, risks not taken will probably be the biggest regret. Do what you love, spend time with people you love, find your gift and share it with the World.

Throw The Ball To Me (Mastered)

This song is about the most precious cargo this pilot has ever flown. Wood, strings, humans, heart, heartbreak...music.
