This song is just perfection, the lyrics, the melody, the violin, the flute, the arrangements. I'm in awe.

Magic

The new international happy birthday song anthem for the 2020's!!

Bornday (Happy Birthday) by STEEL featuring Yasmin Palmer & Mystic Chashani

This song is a tribute to loved ones who have lost family members from Alzheimers/Dementia. They slowly saw them become withdrawn and eventually losing contact with those around them.  This  is being experienced in the tens of thousands. I asked my cousins to send me photos and give permission to post their images. Left is my late Aunt Faith Jackson who was an educator, mother and a role model for me.  On the right my late Aunt Millie Jackson from Puerto Rico who welcomed me on a visit in 1974. Later moves to USA and was the proud wife of my uncle Professional baseball World series star Grant Jackson. My co-writer Ella Shafer had some lyrics  and I added some music and lyrics to write a song to honor her mother in law . Mom Shafer who lost her live to this dreaded disease.  We want to share their stories. Peace&love to all. Let's find a cure ! Thanks to Russ Reiter for his production and musician skills to bring the finishing touches to this anthem for all affected worldwide. Prayers for all.

FOR YOUR GRAMMY® CONSIDERATION IN AMERICANA PERFORMANCE
 What Will You Say is a thought provoking song by multi genre artist and composer Annemarie Picerno asking if life was well lived and relationships mattered. Did we have love and goodness in this world? Did we make a difference in other's lives? Wistful memories of cherished loved ones, along with the struggles, naysayers, and people that traveled past her in life, show the beauty of forgiveness, making amends, and a heaven that awaits for those who believe.

What Will You Say 
Lyrics & Music - Annemarie Picerno © 2023 

Some friends have known me a long time.
Others have traveled past me
If you had to stand up in a crowd
Say what you felt out loud?

What will you say?
When I'm buried in my grave?
Will you say a prayer for me?
Or will I be faded  memory?
Did I ever make you smile?
Did I lighten up your day?
Was I honest in your eyes?
Tell me... What will you say?
Tell me... What will you say?

She never found true love
Money was never her friend
She probably died alone
She loved what could have been

What will you say?
When I'm buried in my grave?
Will you say a prayer for me?
Or will I be faded  memory?
Did I ever make you smile?
Did I lighten up your day?
Was I honest in your eyes?
Tell me...What will you say?
Tell me...What will you say?

I had friends that would say,
"You can call me any time!"
Shaky hands held the phone...
Dial tone on the line.

What will you say?
When I'm buried in my grave?
Will you say a prayer for me?
Or will I be a faded memory?
Was my heart opened up wide?
Did we laugh until we cried?
Did I love you til I died?
Tell me... What will you say?
Tell me... What will you say?
Tell me... What will you say?

Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky

Grant Maloy Smith on the Beth Williams Indie Americana Songwriter Show

A 90s-inspired anthem about emotional shutdown and the modern epidemic of ghosting, be it friend or lover. With a punchy beat and biting lyrics, this track captures the frustration of trying to connect with someone who’s learned to shut everything down. It's a breakup bop for the emotionally unavailable.

Mr. Compartmentalize

Music inspired by the great musical works with the same title by Mozart and Schubert, FANTASY has multiple themes contained within a single movement.  Composed in 2020, after four months of isolation at home in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, I was sorely in need of fantasy. Reality had been too depressing. This music helped to lift my spirits. As music does, it arrived from and sings to another more hopeful place.

LYRICS

Isht A Lhampko (Have Strength)

Earth below my blanket
Sky above my head
Just outside my vision
The night was turning red

Water is like our lifeline
Rain is like our blood
Why’s our whole world dying?
Lord, what have we done?

But it’s all right
We’re still breathing
Isht a Lhampko
We’re not leaving

Air has come against
Clouds of humma roll
Listen to the wind song
Singing from his soul

Fire has cooked our rabbits
And lit our sky for years
We will not be beaten
We walked the trail of tears

Chorus

Dust Bowl - American Stories

Isht a Lhampko (Have Strength)

Off my upcoming CD "Reminiscence", meet "2Funk" featuring yours truly on guitar.  This has amazing production thanks to Jeff Silverman who produced this with me.  Enjoy the killer bass by the world renowned Gary Grainger on this instrumental remake of a co-write I originally did with Elisa Fiorillo Dease.  This is Jazz Funk Fusion at it's best and also features the incredible horn skills/arrangement of Roy Agee of the NPG.
