The Way We Feel is a 9-song album of original children’s music designed to teach emotional intelligence, social awareness, and self-regulation—without being cloying, preachy, or disposable.

From identifying emotions and managing anger to learning empathy, resilience, and communication, each track offers kids (and the adults raising them) a tool for understanding feelings, naming them, and growing through them. With playful lyrics, simple metaphors, and clear messages, this album can help spark meaningful conversations in classrooms, families, and little brains everywhere.

Every song is developmentally appropriate, musically rich, and psychologically grounded. Think of it as an emotional toolbox disguised as a singalong.

Recommended for:
Ages 4–10, teachers, parents, caregivers, therapists, and anyone who wants a future generation that’s better at feelings than we are.

The First Time's Not the Last Time

Lyrics/License

A vintage crooner ballad about seeing beyond surface beauty and yearning to know someone’s soul.

Moonlight Glow

A swing-inflected remix of the original office daydream, Not Enough Time Remix (Bonus Track) trades fluorescent lighting for moonlit confession. With richer instrumentation and deeper lyrical wit, this version leans into the after-hours ache of loving someone from behind a desk.

Phrases and Phases Publishing is a one-man label, archive, and reality-refraction field. Founded by J. Adam Walters - lawyer-turned lyricist, satirist, and architectural dropout from polite society - it's the home for songs that shouldn't exist, poems that go to far, and fictional universes with better paperwork than the Library of Congress. 

From folk elegies to parody rap to theocratic cartoon trauma epics, everything here is written by a human who uses AI as a collaborator and instrument rather than an outsourced brain, and finished only when it reaches a space where laughing hurts, or hurting laughs.
