I FINALLY got around to making a version of this I like!  Hope it makes all you Wolf fans happy.  Bluesy lament capturing the feeling of thinking you're at the top of your game and finding you ARE the game.  Wolves in sheep's clothing, love, deceit, trains, this song has it all.  Hold on and enjoy the ride!  Grab a free download and make this your jams!

Wolf

A collaboration with Tessy Tabish 
A beautiful, poetic lyricism bequeathed to me by the lovely Tessy. A perfect embodiment of raw emotions result from relationships lost, and all that was invested.  I'm so honored to have had the pleasure to compose and mix a musical rendition, and to have done so with her immense patience, patronage, and understanding that reaching the desired end product can take so much time.  I'm so grateful for the amount of learning and skills acquired in the pursuit of accomplishing a rendition worthy of her art.

Thank you for bringing me on this journey, and I hope it releases the binds of the past for both of you.  All my love.  Rae

Lose Heart

The urgent need to be with the ones you love at any cost, cross any distance, leave anything behind.  Nothing else matters.  Help yourself to a free download!  This was recorded and mixed by yours truly.  

This song had the sweetest privilege of being featured in a short film by Wonderbound Ballet's Project Wonder.   Choreographed by the ridiculously talented Deanna Lefton and filmed with cinematic genius by Jordan Lefton

What a captivating visualization of the emotion we've all felt.  It had an even heavier significance with the project being Wonderbound's way to keep the dance going through the early stages of Covid quarantine.

Fresh back from years in Kenya my sister, brother in law, and I had some fun impromptu jam sessions and they sounded so good on this one we just laid it down....just like that.  They are so fun to play with and have so much talent, really pleased to have captured a little.  Enjoy and grab a free download to make this your new jam!

Written about some dear friends of mine who fell in love under what seemed to be impossible circumstances and made it through with flying colors and now a thriving family.  Here's to Carrie and Dado.  All my love.

Carrie Me

Original song to depict the feelings of regret after sour relationships, meant to create and last forever, ending in destruction and ruin.  We've all been Frankenstein's monster and we've all played the creator.  Enjoy the haunting tones of what my husband calls "Monsher Hans" and encouraged me to have the guts to play at gigs.  It was so well received I had many requests to lay it down, so here it is!  Thanks, love.  :)

Frankenstein

Fusion of integrated sounds mixed by Izzuss combined with the vocals and lyrics of Rae McAlister, Double Future Shiny Shoes is a colab of epic proportions....coming to a speaker near you....

In the wake of loss many of us seem to be saying goodbye to loved ones at the same time.  This song stayed with me in so many ways after seeing these amazing musicians in concert and I wanted to share it with all of you as it has been such a comfort to me.  I'll be releasing a few of these this week to send my love and condolences.  All my strength and embraces to you.

Like a River Runs-Bleachers

I woke up thinking you were still here
My hands shaking with regret
I've held this dream for such a long long time
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats, that beats like a rolling drum
I saw you standing on the corner
I saw you standing on your own
And I get the feeling that it's, it's all a dream
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of a wild, to the rhythm of a wild heart
That beats, that beats like a drum
When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember your light
Your light it follows me in darkness
I'm trying hard but I can't win
And I've played the victim for a long long time
And I wanna grow up
From the rhythm a young, from the rhythm of a younger heart
It leads just like a river runs
That night I sent over the parkway
The summer's gone and I'm alone
And I get the feeling that you're somewhere close
And I wanna get up
To the rhythm of your wild, to the rhythm of your wild heart
It beats, been beating since you've gone
When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
But I will remember
When I fall asleep I can see your face
What I lost in you I will not replace
And I could run away, I could let them down
And I know you're gone but still
I will remember your light
I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
And if you see me in the darkness
I hope you know I'm not alone
I carry you with every breath I take
I won't let up, I won't let up
Until the wind is gone
