My older sister lost her husband. And they were a perfectly matched picture of unity. She called me at one point in those dark months, and said she had been driving, was at a green light and couldn't find a way to move. She was frozen. This song, and the first line of the first verse, was born from that call.

CHORUS 1
Who's gonna climb the stars above
When my world turns blue
Who's gonna find me
When I'm losing you

VERSE 1
I'm at a green light I'm not moving
Every night is leaving scars
I've been praying but I'm losing
'Cause I don't have the heart

CHORUS 2
Who's gonna take the reins when I fall
Share this life I knew
Who's gonna find me
When I'm losing you

VERSE 2
'Cause everyday I'm getting older
But your pictures never change
I call your phone over and over
Just to hear your name

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I get lost in the fire
I drown in the flood
I'm down on my knees again
Way down deep in the bottom
I'm falling behind
Back to the days when you were mine

CHORUS

Made for Her

Losing You

I have said to my daughters at one time or another, "Please, never grow up" to which they respond, "Yes, I'll never grow up." And at times I wish I had the magic to make that happen. 
Little known fact: I titled this track "This Old Man" because you can repeat that lullaby underneath the song's melody and it fits perfectly.

Lyrics:
CHORUS
Every night I'd sing my song to you and you would say
I'll never grow up, I'll never grow up
And at the end of my story every time you'd say
I'll never grow up, I'll never grow up

VERSE 1
In my dreams 
You're sleeping on my shoulder
Never getting older
And I am by your side
Walking with you hand in hand
There in Neverland

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We would play like pirates on the run
Racing 'round and 'round the playground in the setting sun
But time it moves so quickly, time can steal the show
Understand that this old man is not letting go

VERSE 2
Now I know
We can't go back to then
I wish it'd never end
And how do I say goodbye
If I had one more moment
One more lullaby

CHORUS

This Old Man

An original, straightforward tune that turned out a little bit country.  I liked the economy of words and memorable melody.  It helps that the guitar was beautifully played by #BryanWhite.

Lyrics:
VERSE 1
If I could write a love song
And every line was true
All the words would tell the story
Of me with you

VERSE 2
It wouldn't be complicated
Just a verse or two
With every every dream and every heartache
That led me to you

CHORUS
Maybe by the last refrain
Or when my song was through
You would know I am me
All because of you

VERSE3
I'd put myself in the chorus
I'd write our love in a hymn
And make a melody to make sure
You're listening

VERSE 4
We could live forever 
In a lyric and a rhyme
And my song to you might stand up to 
The test of time

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Nobody sees me like you
And nobody tries
I thank God that you've been walking by my side
And I don't try to imagine (oh no)
What my world would be
Or who I was before you rescued me

CHORUS

All Because of You

I wanted to write a song inspired by the #AndrewSisters as well as #Bing Crosby and dedicated to the idea that one person multiplied by another can seem so much greater than the sum of its two parts. This has definitely been true in my experience.  The fantastic harmonies are courtesy of #AbigailFlowers and guitar virtuosity by #DavidFeily.

Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Baby do you know I'm falling
Fever it is nothing new
I don't need a cure, I've never been so sure
I'll be ever after you

VERSE 2
If I swam across the ocean
Bumped into a shark or two
Nothing would deter me, frighten or defer me
I'll be ever after you

CHORUS
There's a light that shines down from the heavens
There's a place where simple dreams come true
And a time where us is greater than just me or you
That's when love is multiplied by two

VERSE 3
Fools they believe in someday
Never giving love its due
But let's just take a chance, bet it on romance
Cause I'll be ever after you

CHORUS 2x

Multiplied by Two

An original, holiday tune penned specifically for the peace and mood of a classic Christmas Eve.

A silent night, dark and cold
Stars they shine bright and bold
To show the way to those in need
A prayer of grace this Christmas Eve

Loved ones near and far away
Comforts calm and absence ache
The child within always believes
A prayer of hope this Christmas Eve

Let hearts rejoice though darkness rage
Holding on til dawn awakes
The light has shone on you and me
A prayer of love this Christmas Eve

Weary hearts and worried minds
A strangers gift just in time
To those who have and those who seek
A prayer of mercy this Christmas Eve

Let hearts rejoice though darkness rage
Holding on til dawn awakes
The light has shone on you and me
A prayer of love this Christmas Eve

Ring those bells and sing along
The melody of heaven's song
Light the candles gold and green
A prayer of faith on Christmas Eve
A prayer of faith this Christmas Eve

Christmas Comes Again

Lyrics:
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow on the ground
And when the wind is blowing all around
Then you'll  hear, you can hear, you will hear voices low
Singing softly through the falling snow

Let it snow, let it snow
Let it's magic whisper through the trees
Let it snow
Let it fall down on you and me

Let us all give thanks for the friends we have here
Let us celebrate the coming year
Come and gather around this Christmas tree
And joyful, joyful we will be

Let it snow, let it snow
Now wish upon a falling dream
Let it snow
Let it fall down on you and me

Snow coming down, coming down on me
Snow, snow, coming down, down on me
Snow coming down, coming down on ...
Snow coming down on me, snow coming down on me (2x)

Let it snow, let it snow
Let it's magic whisper through the trees
Let it snow
Let it fall down on you and me

A holiday classic driven by vocal percussion, world strings and a soaring vocal.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, and one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, and one in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
And soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Lyrics:
Rest child now and sleep
Oh lay your head on me
Gold and diamonds I have none
And yet I hold God's Son

One holy night with the star in the sky
Every angel sings
I can hear the reply from the earth to the sky
Let all creation rise for this child is king

Mary dreams in peace
And I hold you as she sleeps
I sing to you this lullaby
Peace on Earth tonight

One holy night with the star in the sky
Every angel sings
I can hear the reply from the earth to the sky
Let all creation rise for this child is king

One holy night with the star in the sky
Every angel sings
I can hear the reply from the earth to the sky
Let all creation rise for this child is king

Gold and diamonds I have none
And yet I hold God's Son

Joseph's Song

New collaboration with the Prague Orchestra. This performance, captured live in studio, features a glimpse into the band's creative process and showcases an orchestra in top form.

Can I Steal a Little Love (With the Prague Orchestra)

Plainspoken lyrics of hopeful redemption combine with American Idol finale sensibilities to make this pop gem a perfect "first dance" choice.

Chances

Captured as a warmup in the studio, this classic song of heartbreak features a worn-out piano played masterfully by Theodore Brown, a one take vocal and additional harmony by powerhouse Nashville vocalist, Abigail Brown.

Always On My Mind

An orchestral take on a southwestern club number with Shaun's small big band powering up the catchy melody. Featuring the Prague Orchestra.

Dance the Night Away (with the Prague Orchestra)

Dance the Night Away (With the Prague Orchestra)

Born from the a cappella world, with a singer-songwriter bent and an affinity for big band, Shaun releases this quiet gem. Written from a traveling artist's perspective for those left at home, the song speaks to true love, taking a back seat to other's light, and of course, passion for music.

Singing Harmony

A classic re-working of a yacht rock staple - Randy VanWarmer's '70's tearjerker reworked with sparse piano and inventive cello. Shaun's plaintive vocal freshens this beloved melody.

Lyrics:
I just got one more mile to go before I sleep
I've been traveling all day long
Wishing I could wind the clock back up again
And when I wake I'd find the years would all be gone

Never did I hear how easy life would be
Or the road less traveled that I've traveled by
And if this day should be taken as I lay me down to rest
I will thank the Lord above for my sweet time

 Looking back I see the blessings in my life
I feel the love I held so close at hand
And nothing seems to matter quite as much to me
As those days I could've been a better man

Yeah, the sun is going down now
And the stars don't seem to shine as bright as they did when I was a kid
The ships out on the horizon probably won't sail in
But it doesn't stop me wishing for what might have been

Never did I hear how easy life would be
Or the road less traveled that I've traveled by
And if this day should be taken as I lay me down to rest
I will thank the Lord above for my sweet time

Lyrics:
Today he cried at work, everybody stared
 Most days he don't even smile
And somehow all the things he's worked for in his life
They haven't mattered in a while

Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Like a love, it's never gonna end
Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Her voice is calling him again

After work he drives just to hold her hand again
He wonders if she knows he's there
The doc says "Take a break" but he grabs a cot to stay
No he's not going anywhere

Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Like a love, it's never gonna end
Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Her voice is calling him again

Sunday morning comes to soon and he bows his head to pray
All the things he never gets to say
Bells ring and the choirs sing but no one seems to know
How to help a man who's letting go

Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Like a love, it's never gonna end
Oh that Oklahoma Wind
Her voice is calling him again

Oklahoma Wind

An Emmy Award-winning crooner with a top 5 Billboard album.
