Written for my Mom, but then ultimately encompassing all the loved ones in my life who've passed. But wait - no groaning and eye-rolling here - this is not a depressing song! This is about connecting with the spirit of loved ones in dreams and how truly alive they will always be if their memory is present in your life. Honestly, in the course of an average day, there are so many handfuls of things that make her pop into my head. So she's still here then, isn't she? How cool is that?

Shake Off The Gravity

This is one of my earliest projects with Mark Wood, recorded just a few short years after we met. It's my arrangement and cover of Chain of Fools (Aretha Franklin); produced with Mark Wood.

Chain Of Fools

Back in 1999, my dear friend Willa (singer, songwriter, and all around incredible musician) and I collaborated on this very special song and only shared it with a handful of our very closest friends. Happy to share it here with all of you... 

When I can't find a reason to smile at the sunset
As I watch it go down from my box in the sky
I know I must go to the ocean my mother
Where I will revive
She caresses my senses with warm salty fingers
I relax my defenses when I feel her touch
I open my heart to the sound of her singing
Such a sweet lullaby (and she sings)
Place your hands upon my body
	Lay your head upon my breast
	Dream of clear and crystal waters
	I will heal you as you rest
In my dream I am floating on the back of my mother
And she carries me gently to the place I was born
I remember the sun as it rose over Eden
I heard this song (and she sang)
Place your hands upon my body
	Lay your head upon my breast
	Dream of clear and crystal waters
	I will heal you as you rest
Memory wisdom consciousness peace
Oh sweet mother grant me these
Place your hands upon my body
	Lay your head upon my breast
	Dream of clear and crystal waters
	I will heal you as you rest
Memory wisdom consciousness peace
Oh sweet mother grant me these
