This was my 50th birthday present from Nov. 2022.  My brother Aaron (Drums/Guitar), and my son Ethan (Bass), got me a few hours of studio time in a beautiful recording studio in Delmar, NY.  Prior to going in, they asked me to choose three of my all-time favorite original compositions to record in the session.  They learned those songs by heart, and then joined me in the studio for an absolutely MAGICAL session where we recorded the core components of those songs together (keys, drums, bass).  It was such a wonderful gift and experience, and after working on these songs for the past year, I'm so excited to FINALLY share the end results with all of you!

The Web We Weave
Music and Words by Mark Magram

(Verse 1)
The web we weave
When we deceive
To hold our prey
To make them stay

To conceal our sins
To make sure we win
To protect ourselves
From a private hell

Innocent, entangled, unintended consequences
Broken hearts lie helpless in a silk thread trap
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Never was a price to pay
We just want to have our cake and eat it
That's the web we weave

(Chorus)
The web we weave
When we deceive
To convince our mind
We are pure and kind

To obscure a truth
We're afraid to find
To believe in love
To believe in God

Innocent, entangled, unintended consequences
Broken hearts lie helpless in a silk thread trap
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Never was a price to pay
We just want to have our cake and eat it too
That's the web we weave

(Bridge)
Lie after lie after lie after lie
What a tangled web we weave
What a tangled web we weave
Lie after lie after lie after lie
What a tangled web we weave
What a tangled web we weave

Lie after lie after lie after lie
Lie after lie after lie after lie

Something This Real (2022)
Music and Words by Mark Magram
Drums and Guitar by Aaron Magram
Bass by Ethan Magram

I think I got up on the right side of the bed today
The sun was shining through the window pane
Cross your long silk hair
You didn't notice my stare

(Chorus)
Cuz' when you believe in something this real
There's nothing that can tear it down
It fills you with a special kind of joy
Shines through every pore
And I swear to you
I'll feel it for the rest of my life

You didn't notice when I watched you walk across the floor
Just the other day
Just something I have done a million times before
Something in the way you move
I never tell you 'bout the times I stare at the sky
Oh yes I do
And think of moments that are shared between you and I
Brings a tear to my eye

(Chorus)
Cuz' when you believe in something this real
There's nothing that can tear it down
It fills you with a special kind of joy
Throughout your soul
And I swear to you
Gonna feel it for the rest of my life
Cuz it's real
Nothing can negate the fact
You fill me with a special kind of joy
I swear on everything I know
Gonna feel it for the rest of my life

(Solo)

(Chorus)
Cuz' when you believe in something this real
Nothing ever tears it down
It fills you with a special kind of joy
I swear
On everything I held dear
Gonna do it for the rest of my life
Cuz it's real
It's just a fundamental fact
You own every piece of my heart
And this I swear to you
Gonna feel it for the rest of my life

My life
My life
This I swear to you
For the rest of my life
