Desperado

As a part of the human experience, we get to feel every emotion possible, not just what we call the “good” stuff. When you are deep into a state of turmoil - grief, anger, heartbreak - remember the ride always keeps going, and you just need to wait for the pain to pass.

Wait (Acoustic Demo)

Even if I know for sure life is great, with a dirty window it’s hard to see the sun.  Can you turn me around to see life through a different window, a different view?
Help me see the light that I know is always there.

Turn Me Around (Acoustic Demo)

Words and their origins are interesting to me… the way we take for granted common words…. I was thinking about the word “transparency”, and all of the sudden I “saw” “Trans  parents  see”... and knew it would be a song… finally able to make a statement about the issues of transgender and varying gender-identity folks especially here in NC, after the “bathroom bill”...  wanting so much to recognize our own inherent beauty as individuals that is only enhanced by our unique expression of the light we all share.	And knowing that the parents of those of us struggling with identity issues, especially gender +/or sexuality, do see the truth, and have their hearts cracked wide open because of it.

This is the unabridged version.

Transparency (Acoustic Demo)

Anyone know the joys of joint custody? I realized that around the time I had to say goodbye to my boys for another two weeks, I felt this complex of emotions, urges to "get everything in" with them since I wouldn't see them for (to a mom) so long...yet over the years since the divorce, their dad and I have moved on, sharing holidays, birthday parties, and creating a Modern Family.

Modern Family (Acoustic Demo) Mix 2 Master 1

One of James Taylor's many greats, this song is a perfect expression of  ambivalence barely covering the deep need for connection.

Acoustic Demo, voice and piano, my arrangement of a Holiday classic written by Amy Grant and Chris Eaton - Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song).  Amy created the intensely personal, emotional lyrics using Chris's song while she herself was pregnant.
