My cover of a favorite George Harrison song.  Please excuse the cheesy whistling.

Behind That Locked Door

Steven Odegard's Album

The Lost Song

I wrote this back in the '80s and recorded it in the '90s.  Just a demo so you'll have to forgive its clunky sound.

You're Convincing Me

A demo that tries to condense in a few minutes the strain of loneliness I have felt in my life, and the inability to connect, where even dreams are no relief.

Lonely In My Dreams

My friend Doug Newman came up with this melody and got it started lyrically.  I worked on it later to finish it up, and then recorded this demo.  It's basically a "hope-out-of-heartache" tune.

I Guess  (Newman/Odegard)

Shadows (Newman/Odegard)

This song is from the late '80s, and was inspired by the untimely death of a seminary classmate, who was killed while at a camp in Rocky Mountains of Colorado.  I was in those same mountains when this happened, but didn't find out until returning home.

Mountains Of Heaven

My attempt at an upbeat sad song, about the price of denial, I guess.

Tears I Haven't Cried

I wrote this in the early 2000's, as two of my oldest friends were getting married to their wives, much later in life.  I was privileged to take part in both weddings.  I started this song before the first one, and finished it after the second.  It took me two years, but then, songs take their sweet time as well.

Love Takes Its Sweet Time

This is Doug Newman's tune from many years ago, and I threw on some words.  It was written for a higher voice than mine, obviously.  Hope it doesn't make your dogs bark!

News For You  (Newman/Odegard)

All Day Rain

I wrote this tune somewhere around '98 or '99, just before the Y2K hysteria.  At the time I was musing about how much the year 2000 looked not all that different from 1990, or 1980, or...   Still waiting for my flying car!

Same Old Future

I tried to write a hopeful, encouraging song about what's ahead.

Morning On The Sun

This a later acoustic version of a song I wrote back in the late 1980's.     Someday I will post the older version, as I'd like to know which is better.

Full Circle

There was a time in my life when I was working about 60 or more hours a week, and was always preoccupied with my work, even when at home.  I came to see how little time and attention I was giving to my wife and kids, and I tried to put this song together, but from the neglected party's point of view.
