This is a song I wrote about following your dreams, but the thought of being a bit afraid to do so, at the same time.  The lesson is that if all you ever do is sit and wait for something to happen and simply just dream, your dreams will never become a reality.  

Wishing On A Star

I wrote this tune when I was in my very early twenties.  It was basically inspired by my hopeless crush on an older and very well know man, in the Boston area.  And that's all I'm going to say about that....   Ladies, we've all been in that situation where we helplessly fall for a man, who we know is never going to reciprocate our feelings.  That's what this song is all about.     

Weakness

This song is my "tribute" to the Brothers.  There are so many Hip Hop, R&B, and Rap songs out there, where black (and white, and Latino) men rap or sing about different races and types of beautiful women.  Well, this song is my "counterpart" to those tunes, so to speak.

Dark Chocolate Divine

Most of us have been cheated on, at one point, in our lives.  For those of you who haven't, consider yourselves very lucky because it hurts like hell.  This song is looking back on a relationship and the period of when I went from thinking that I was being cheated on, to after I had found out and broken up with the jerk.  It's my reaction to him coming crawling back to me, but I was just over it.  I was through with him and his games.  

I'm Through With You

I wrote this song after a relationship with a man who just stole my "light."  He had so much baggage and so much anger, from his past, that it ultimately caused me to fall out of love with him and completely ruined our relationship.  I felt like a flower that was shut up in a closet, most of the time.  OK, not to get overly poetic or dramatic, but it's true.  This song was written as my outlet to let go and forgive the mistake of staying with him, for so long.  You can't change a person; you can only change yourself.   

Sorceress

All of the scenarios described in this song happened to me, in real life, I'm sorry to say!  But, I thought instead of being embarrassed and not talking about it, why not write a funny, sort of "tongue in cheek" song to share my strange experiences with people?  I want to make it very clear that I have nothing against Jerry Springer, personally, but we all know the types of people he welcomes on his show.  He wouldn't be as successful as he is without them.
