Pop dance-EDM track about a powerful sexual attraction.

Written & arranged by LMNL, produced by Marco Palma

Hmmm, hmmm.

Your eyes were the first hit that drew me in. One night together now I keep wanting you. I love we push together to the top. Don't want the thrill of tasting you to stop. Hmmm, don't you know

When you're here, I need the climb. When you're not, my mind's trippin'. Lows when you're gone, highs when you're with me. Your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm. Hmmm

I can't get enough of what we do to each other. When you leave the crash is like a trigger. I want the feeling of us skin to skin. I just can't resist the urge of coming closer to you.

When you're here, I need the climb. When you're not, my mind's trippin'. Lows when you're gone, highs when you're with me. Your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm. Hmmm

You're like a fix that I can't get from anybody else. Take me cuz I love that feeling from you and I lose myself.

When you're here, I need the climb. When you're not, my mind's trippin'. Lows when you're gone, highs when you're with me. Your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm, your body's dopamine. Hmmm. Hmmm

This is a duet written for young pop artists in the scenario of trying to win each other over like each one is a prize to achieve.

Written and arranged by Lisa Mary Nanos Li. Produced by Marco Palma.

Lyrics:

Female:
Rock hard, air tight, positive, confident. Afraid of nothing, how do you do it (do it, do it)? Want to feel invincible by being your girl. Want to be the only one you chase to get.

Chorus:
You have a reputation that makes 'em all talk. You have a reputation that they all want. They want, they want the reputation, envy and attention, glory of being a prize. You have a reputation and I want you to be mine.

Male:
Stunning, cunning, floating like you just don't care. Doing your own thing, stuff the others would never dare, never dare. I know most of the guys aren't worth your time. Want to be the only one who wins your over.

Chorus:
You have a reputation that makes 'em all talk. You have a reputation that they all want. They want, they want the reputation, envy and attention, glory of being a prize. You have a reputation and I want you to be mine.

I want to go to that place where you make me feel high as I close my eyes and you take me away. (Repeat).

I have a hole in my heart. I'm feeling too much pain. Why is life so hard? What do I have to gain?

I have a hole in my heart. The daily grind gets me low. Can't buy what I want. Where else can I go?

Ooooo. Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can.
Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can show me another day.

I have a hole in my heart. The world is losing its mind. How does madness start? Who knows how to be kind?

Ooooo. Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can.
Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can show me another day.

No one else shines like a light. You make fight the good fightall the way into the night.

Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can.
Oooo please save me with your words, soul, body. Fill me up because only you can show me another day.

Ballad for a female pop artist.

Guitar and vocals by Lisa Li.

Lion of my heart seeking you through the dark. Eagle of my soul leading me to home.

I left a piece of my heart in Africa where all I needed was you.
I left a piece of my heart in Africa where I found freedom with you. You. You.

Wind of my mind reveal what I must find. Wings of desire fly me to the fire.

I left a piece of my heart in Africa when all I needed was you.
I left a piece of my heart in Africa when I found freedom with you. You. You.

If my life is a trail you marked the sand. I keep looking for tracks to who I really am. Bring back that feeling again.

I left a piece of my heart in Africa when all I needed was you.
I left a piece of my heart in Africa when I found freedom with you. You. You.

I Left A Pice Of My Heart In Africa (c) 2023 LMNL

Ballad, written with 2 verses but have a third verse:) For female country or pop artist.

Guitar and vocals by Lisa Li.

You're honey in my rooibos tea. Mornings taste so sweet savouring each word you speak.

You completely fill my heart like a flood. I completely spill over with life because of you.

You're a lion protecting me. Running wild listening to when I ask for what I need.

You completely fill my heart like a flood. I completely spill over with life because of you.

I'm falling faster than gravity for you. Being my true self is easy to do, in your eyes I feel new.

You completely fill my heart like a flood. I completely spill over with life because of you.

Completely (c) 2023 LMNL (2 Verses)

Song about falling for someone who may not reciprocate. For female country artist.

Guitar and vocals by Lisa Li.

Caught in a knot I can't untie. If I tried, I might unravel. I've fallen fo you. Do you feel the same? Caught in a knot I can't untie.

You roped me in. I'm tangled with questions. Are you a gift or my ruin?

Caught in a knot I can't untie. If I tried, I might unravel. I've fallen fo you. Do you feel the same? Caught in a knot I can't untie.

You rewired my head. New feelings I find replaying words you said, your smile on rewind.

Caught in a knot I can't untie. If I tried, I might unravel. I've fallen fo you. Do you feel the same? Caught in a knot I can't untie.

You're pulling my strings tighter. I'm afraid my desire is a mistake. Tell me do you need me cuz I'm on fire.

Caught in a knot I can't untie. If I tried, I might unravel. I've fallen fo you. Do you feel the same? Caught in a knot I can't untie.

Caught In A Knot I Can't Untie (c) 2023 LMNL

Dedicated to my father who passed away October 2023 and was a wonderful Dad who I miss dearly. This song could also be interpreted for the loss of any significant person in our lives.

For male or female country artist.

Written & arranged by LMNL. Guitar and vocals by LMNL Lisa Mary Nanos Li.

I can dance all night holding a pint while the band plays until two am.
I can meet my friends to joke and laugh about all the dumb things we did.

But when it stops and I'm alone I miss you and it kills me that you're gone.
I miss you remembering all we were, here with me making everything feel it would be okay.
Will I ever miss you a little less each day?

I can get up for my coffee cup and follow a daily routine.
I can smile at work hoping the hurt fades with talk and pretending.

But when it stops and I'm alone I miss you and it kills me that you're gone.
I miss you remembering all we were, here with me making everything feel it would be okay.
Will I ever miss you a little less each day?

I Miss You (c) LMNL 2024

Song that uses church as a metaphor for live music in a bar. For male or female country music artist.

We're all sinners come together an unlikely congregation
 where we belong for an hour and feel a human connection

Music is redemption

We found a song in this bar singing like a choir to the chorus written for us.
We found a song in this bar. I sacrifice my heart, this stage an altar binding us forever.
We found a song in this bar.

We got no hymn books, homily, sermon, confession or prayers.
We give thanks to the band with the tip jar clapping our hands.

Music is redemption

We found a song in this bar singing like a choir to the chorus written for us.
We found a song in this bar. I sacrifice my heart, this stage an altar binding us forever.
We found a song in this bar.

Raise a glass in the air. Smile to your neighbour.

Music is redemption

We found a song in this bar singing like a choir to the chorus written for us.
We found a song in this bar. I sacrifice my heart, this stage an altar binding us forever.
We found a song in this bar.

We Found A Song In This Bar (c) 2024 LMNL

Square dance style song for female artist about when to stop trying to please others and leave a relationship.

Guitar and vocals by LMNL Lisa Mary Nanos Li.

Do you dhow love walking on your knees
It's important to be liked
Grow up learning how to please
When do you stop and leave

Put others first is what they believe
Sacrifice is virtuous
His happiness is your responsibility -- really?
When do you stop and leave

Condescending, demanding, blaming, it's all wearing you think until you're at your worst
Does it all fall apart when you ask for what you want
What does it take to put yourself first and leave

When you're along are you happy?
Relieved when your lover's gone?
If your heart isn't like a horse running free
When do you stop and leave

Stop And Leave (c) 2024 LMNL

Pro LGBTQ+ song for Nashville country music fans, for male or female artist to perform, envisioned for male artist.

Guitar and vocals by LMNL Lisa Mary Nanos Li.

Did you see there's a drag queen on Broadway
Some folks are having a fit
A guy in a dress with stilettos, I don't get it either
 but it's not like they're armed with a weapon
Proud of their cowboy boots like us, ain't hurting no one.

Did you see there's a drag queen on Broadway
Singing smoother than whiskey
Owning the stage like they were made to sing Dolly Parton covers
 that pack our favourite bar
The chorus to Jolene was fire and won us over

They got the two-step down to a tee with flair and then some
They shine brighter than a sequined fringed shirt, hell, why don't I let my guard down
If country is really free, can't we all share a song and drink human to human?

Did you see there's a drag queen on Broadway
Works mornings at a farm
Takes care of horses for Dave and Loni, plays guitar
  for the house band at the Lone Star
Loving their hometown roots like us where they belong

Drag Queen On Broadway (c) 2024 LMNL

Love song for male country artist about lovers admitting their need for each other.

Guitar and vocals by LMNL Lisa Mary Nanos Li.

If the energy we have wasn't like magnets
If the gaze from your eyes hadn't lasted longer than a glance
I would've kept going
Instead there was a thread of some knowing between us

So why did you go silent for weeks until now?

You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
Baby these emotions are okay
You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
I wouldn't have answered if I didn't feel the same way

If didn't we talk all night in a crowded room
Then share my bed 'till morning lying beside you
I would've moved on
Tell me how you see the world and all that you've been through

So why did you go silent again for weeks until now?

You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
Baby these emotions are okay
You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
I wouldn't have answered if I didn't feel the same way

No matter who I was with you were in my head
Can't you tell your heart will be protected with mine
Be who you really are with me all the time

You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
Baby these emotions are okay
You wouldn't have called if you didn't need me, didn't feel me
I wouldn't have answered if I didn't feel the same way

You Wouldn't Have (c) 2024 LMNL

This is a rewrite of a dance club song I wrote and arranged a while back, at the suggestion of a writer I met through Nashville Songwriters Association. The "list" arrangement is the same as the original version but there is now a pre-chorus, chorus and new bridge. For female country artist.

Guitar and vocals by LMNL Lisa Mary Nanos Li.

A guitar needs a song for music
The ocean needs a beach for waves
Feet need a drum for dancing
Sky needs the sun for the day

I'm searching for the power of two as one

I need you to know love, know love
I need you to know love, know love

Lungs need air for breathing
Wood needs a match for fire
Pain needs release for healing
Lips need a kiss for desire

I'm searching for the power of two as one

I need you to know love, know love
I need you to know love, know love

It's like my world felt flat until I met you
Now I fell it all around me right through my bones

I'm searching for the power of two as one

I need you to know love, know love
I need you to know love, know love

Need You To Know V2 Rewrite (c) 2024 LMNL

Playful country love song about a couple enjoying each other sexually. For a male artist to sing. Written and arranged by LMNL. Guitar and vocals LMNL.

Saturday 'leven pm, the band's still playin' but Baby, I say we head home.
No I don't wanna sleep, want you to keep me up all night 'till Sunday afternoon.

Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God I love you. Our temple is our bed. Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God my gratitude. Body and heart I worship you in my arms. Oh let's skip church tomorrow.

In my darkest days you saved me. The future is ours to rewrite.
It ain't a sin to be skin to skin. You're my soulmate for life.

Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God I love you. Our temple is our bed. Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God my gratitude. Body and heart I worship you in my arms. Oh let's skip church tomorrow.

I read the Bible, heaven's not far away. I'm your disciple, paradise in front of me. You make believe.

Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God I love you. Our temple is our bed. Let's skip church tomorrow. Show God my gratitude. Body and heart I worship you in my arms. Oh let's skip church tomorrow.

Let's Skip Church (c) LMNL 2024

Upbeat, romantic country song about falling in love. For male or female artist. Written and arranged by LMNL. Guitar and vocals by LMNL.

Blindsided, didn't plan this, you dropped into my life like a speeding comet. When it hit me it felt like fate.

I found you when I wasn't looking. No expectations at all. When I wasn't searching you embraced who I was. I found you when I wan't looking. Thought that I had enough. When I wasn't searching I saw how easy it is to truly fall in love.

Our energy pulled like gravity. The closer that you got drove me crazy. When our eyes locked it was too late.

I found you when I wasn't looking. No expectations at all. When I wasn't searching you embraced who I was. I found you when I wan't looking. Thought that I had enough. When I wasn't searching I saw how easy it is to truly fall in love.

Had other lovers but felt lonely. Eight billion people, why you for me? I'm free falling, I can be wild knowing you're all in. I see who I really am.

I found you when I wasn't looking. No expectations at all. When I wasn't searching you embraced who I was. I found you when I wan't looking. Thought that I had enough. When I wasn't searching I saw how easy it is to truly fall in love.

When I Wasn't Looking (c) LMNL 2024

EDM club song about feeling a deeper emotional and physical connection to a significant other. To be fully produced with female artist / vocal. Written and arranged by LMNL. Guitar and vocals LMNL.

Life's a drywall planet. I'm coasting on autopilot. I did everything right but I feel so numb, numb. I feel so numb numb.

Talking in even keel voices. Our decisions are good choices. Car, couch, big screen but I feel so numb, numb. I feel so numb, numb.

Need to go deeper than this, to feel desperate for you. When I show my raw emotions and you touch me, I want you to oo-o-o, I want you to oo-o, I want you to oo-o-, I want you to (repeat).

What's the dream to find, the hidden wish we want to try? Searching, am I close? Cuz I feel so numb, numb. I feel so numb, numb.

Need to go deeper than this, to feel desperate for you. When I show my raw emotions and you touch me, I want you to oo-o-o, I want you to oo-o, I want you to oo-o-, I want you to (repeat).

When I'm strong and bright can you smile and take me higher?
When I'm broken lost can you heal and stoke my fire?

I want you to oo-o-o, I want you to oo-o, I want you to oo-o-, I want you to (repeat).

I Want You To (c) LMNL 2024

I was listening to H.E.R.'s "Damage" which I find both a sexy and vulnerable song. I wrote and arranged this song for R&B about finding solace with a significant other after a bad day or day of reckoning, for either a male or female artist; it may sound more sultry with a female vocal but it also may be much more vulnerable with a male vocal.

Written and arranged by LMNL, guitar and vocal LMNL.

Baby, I snapped today like lightening cracks a tree.
Want to forget before I go crazy.

Baby, say it's okay. If a lie, tell me anyway. Help make it all go away.
Compassion, skin to skin, listening, moving in closer.
Oh Baby.

Baby, I might fail, may not make it ever.
I try so hard so I can be better.

Baby, say it's okay. If a lie, tell me anyway. Help make it all go away.
Compassion, skin to skin, listening, moving in closer.
Oh Baby.

With you, I'm honest, whispering your name. You have my trust. Heal my pain, Baby.

Baby, say it's okay. If a lie, tell me anyway. Help make it all go away.
Compassion, skin to skin, listening, moving in closer.
Oh Baby.

Baby (c) LMNL 2024

This break up song is envisioned for a male performing artist, about remembering everyday, mundane moments with a significant other with regret.

Guitar and vocals by LMNL.

Laughing when we walk the dog.
Whiskey in our favourite cups
I miss whispering your name when we made love.

Wish for those ordinary moments, what a gift as I look back.
Wish for those ordinary moments that I took for granted.
Wish a spell cast from the sky would instantly change my life since you left.
Wish for those ordinary moments, they were magic, oh.

Shared a blanket watching TV on the couch right next to me.
I miss your head on my chest falling asleep.

Wish for those ordinary moments, what a gift as I look back.
Wish for those ordinary moments that I took for granted.
Wish a spell cast from the sky would instantly change my life since you left.
Wish for those ordinary moments, they were magic, oh.

Celebrations, decorations, parties with friends hide my loss like a smoke screen.
If I could turn back time and start again, I'd show the smallest things with you meant the world to me.

Wish for those ordinary moments, what a gift as I look back.
Wish for those ordinary moments that I took for granted.
Wish a spell cast from the sky would instantly change my life since you left.
Wish for those ordinary moments, they were magic, oh.

Ordinary Moments (c) 2024 LMNL

Upbeat song about feeling good about breaking up with a lover. For country or pop female artist.

I miss the automatic date, last minute plans that filled the space in the calendar.
I miss photos of us, memories of trips and good times while together.

But something was missing, like a floorboard that kept creaking. I need more connection, you called me sensitive and turned away.

I don't miss your subtle put-me-downs, biting my tongue like you wore a crown.
I remember.
I don't miss the lonely sex in bed, crying in the bathroom while you slept.
I remember then don't miss you anymore.

I miss you taking out the dog, holding my hand when we walked in a crowd.
I miss our daily routine, getting home knowing you were around.

But something was missing, like a floorboard that kept creaking. I need more connection, you called me sensitive and turned away.

I don't miss your subtle put-me-downs, biting my tongue like you wore a crown.
I remember.
I don't miss the lonely sex in bed, crying in the bathroom while you slept.
I remember then don't miss you anymore.

The more I wanted to get closer, the more you pulled away. I need to be more than room mates. Guess you can be replaced.

But something was missing, like a floorboard that kept creaking. I need more connection, you called me sensitive and turned away.

I don't miss your subtle put-me-downs, biting my tongue like you wore a crown.
I remember.
I don't miss the lonely sex in bed, crying in the bathroom while you slept.
I remember then don't miss you anymore.

I Don't Miss (c) LMNL 2024

I had the privilege of meeting Jim Reilley who has been a supportive mentor and friend over recent months. He produced this country ballad that I envisioned for a male artist.

You Wouldn't Have (c) 2024, Demo produced by Jim Reilley

This is one of the first songs I ever wrote. Country sad song for a male artist about the one who got away.

Produced by Jim Reilley.

You Belong To Me (c) 2004 produced

Song about building a relationship through hard times. For female country artist.

Guitar and vocals by Lisa Li LMNL.

Love isn’t always a flame.
Desire doesn’t burn day and night.
Sometimes, it’s a fight, making up then it’s behind us like a photo in a frame.

V2:
Love it’s always carefree.
Not happy go lucky all day long.
Sometimes, it’s a loss, learning to get back up like a doorway and key.

CH:
Brick by brick, stair by stair,
We find a way to love each other through the floods and the storms.
If there’s anything I learned,
Hold me close because that’s how we build this house.

V3:
Love isn’t always a game.
Not loud, fast and high every week.
Sometimes, it’s a grind, then we find a break like a swing under a tree.

CH:
Brick by brick, stair by stair,
We find a way to love each other through the floods and the storms.
If there’s anything I learned,
Hold me close because that’s how we build this house.

BR:
What might break us?
Loose shingles against the elements?
Can we make it through the seasons and be a testament to our home?

CH:
Brick by brick, stair by stair,
We find a way to love each other through the floods and the storms.
If there’s anything I learned,
Hold me close because that’s how we build this house.

How We Build this House (c)2024

I'm a songwriter looking for other artists to perform my songs.

I write a range of genres but envision most of my songs for either country or pop genres.

Most of my recordings are done acoustically to help them transition easily to production; I have examples of how some of my acoustic songs sound when fully produced for pop here, produced by Marco Palma, and for country here, produced by Jim Reilley.

Anyone interested in working with me including co-writing is invited to contact me here.
