"My Reason" is a song about the search for purpose, and the conflict between living up to others' expectations, which may represent the road more traveled, and the challenges of finding what we are uniquely able to offer the world.

Just a Little Kiss

I wrote "Steel" for a call for a song for a feature film scene involving a single mother who is dealing with substance abuse and contemplating suicide. It is dedicated to anyone going through trials requiring more strength than they realize they have.

Steel

Instrumental EDM arrangement of the classic "Happy Birthday" song.

Happy Birthday (EDM)

I originally recorded this song, which I wrote back in 2005 with Michael J. Parker, in a pop-flavored version for my 2009 album, "Love Holds On".  This is a brand new (in 2020), country-pop-flavored recording (though it uses one guitar part from the original version) of the song.

After Us (Country Mix)

This is a brand new remix of my first self-released single, 2006's "The Lord's Prayer".  This version replaces the acoustic guitars altogether, replaces the sounds of all other instruments, and adds harmonies to the "choir" response late in the song, in addition to doing a brand new mix.

Rick Paul is an independent songwriter, singer, musician, music producer, and writer, originally from Rotterdam, New York, now based in Orange County, California. His songs combine memorable pop/rock and country melodies with mature, often thought-provoking, lyrics on life and love. He has had songs recorded by independent artists from the USA, Europe, and Asia, including Little River Band lead singer Wayne Nelson, who recorded “Little Child Lost” back in 2000 to promote the Child Alert Foundation. In 2004, teenage pop singer Nominjin took “All I Need to Know” to Top 5 in Mongolia for both radio and video play. 

Rick’s first full-length album, Love Holds On, was released in July 2009. In reviewing the album, Janet Goodman of Music News Nashville indicated, “this Southern Californian artist has a unique whispering charm about his vocals that makes one take notice from the first warm note.” Rick has also released several EP’s and singles, including Make Me Feel, a 2008 duet project with Beverly Bremers (“Don’t Say You Don’t Remember”). 

Rick performs frequently in Orange County, California. His singing has drawn comparisons to Dan Hill, Don Henley, Randy Newman, and Neil Young, while his piano playing is most frequently compared to Rick’s biggest musical influence, Elton John.
