Hooley’s Favorites

This is an album of songs that are primarily country, but there is a mix of styles made from my lyric poetry.

Anthem For My Dreamers

This is a song made from a lyric poem about the poetry that I write and my hope that it will lift people up.

The Poet’s Lament

A lyric poem influenced by T.S. Eliot's poem Little Gidding

Coming Home (Final)

This is a song about trips with our mother to the place she loved best in the world, how it lifted our young spirits, how we took her back there when she passed, and how our spirits continue to be lifted and inspired by her memory.

Heaven's Lake

This is a song about my father, a Harvard Business School graduate who soon found himself serving as an officer in the Pacific.  He was a rock.

Dad Worked In The Trenches

I post multiple versions of songs made from my lyric poems in different genres so those interested can follow the evolution of lyrics through their iterations in various genres.  I aspire to write lyric poetry to touch people, either to make them happy, or to touch their sadness and let them know they are not alone.
