Written for the Nur Ein songwriting contest, year XX, Round 1. 

Title: Pyramid
Challenge: Use a repeating melodic phrase that gets shorter as the song progresses/builds.

Lyrics:
You say
denial is just a river
so you say, and so you say
You say
you were there
when aliens built the pyramids
so you say

but I've been listening
to the songs of the stars
and I'm hearing things
that you don't understand

You say
I learned nothing from
your college course
so you say, so you say
You say
secret teachings of ancient masters
are lost on me
so you say

but I've been listening
and I'm hearing things
that you don't understand

 Marty Cooper is a storyteller of America, truly America's hidden balladeer. He has written number one hits, as well as songs covered by such luminaries as Stevie Wonder, Rod McKuen, Jimmie Rodgers, Sammy Davis, Jr., The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four, Burl Ives, Bobby Bare, The Irish Rovers, and Jennifer Warnes. In a career extending back to the late 1950s and as an important voice of the 60s folk revival, Marty's worked with such LA studio legends as The Wrecking Crew and Jack Nitzsche. And yet, he remains largely undiscovered by the public at large.

This collection consists mainly of Marty doing Marty – singing songs previously covered and made famous by other artists, like Donna Fargo's “You Can't Be a Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine)”, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Country Top 100, and “A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock 'n Roll”, the ubiquitous theme song of Donny and Marie Osmond, heard here with the original non-sibling lyrics. And there's protest songs censored by “the powers that be” back in the 60's, like “One More Time, Billy Brown” (originally sung by Burl Ives), because the message was deemed too inflammatory. 

But beyond all that, there is a portrait here painted with love and care of an America that we have largely lost – painted with the hope that perhaps we can find it, or some parts of it, again.

Build the Walls Higher is the new EP from Maine-based singer-songwriter Alice Limoges, featuring five original songs as part of her 2025 Song-A-Month project.

The title track, “Build the Walls Higher,” is a groovy, soulful anthem with live drums, bass, B3 organ, trumpet, and powerful vocals. Inspired by a local political debate over a deteriorating dam and the rising tide of climate inaction and ideological division, the song serves as both a climate rally cry and a broader metaphor for the walls we build in society.

Other tracks on the EP include:

Perfectly Out of Tune – a quirky, DIY celebration of imperfect harmony featuring banjo, kazoo, and even a cheese grater
Maine Trees in Winter – a quiet, reflective duet with Georgia songwriter Anthony Cann
Hurricane Alley – a piano-driven reflection on personal and environmental storms
A World Away (Song for Syria) – a sequel to Limoges’s 2016 track “Aleppo”
The cover art for the EP was created by Frances Beynart, a Maine youth artist, as part of an 8th grade mural project on climate change and hope.

Now available on all streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp.

"It’s been a long time coming, but ‘Mystery of the Self’ is finally here. The new album by American troubadour Brother Barnaby, the record finds its unmistakable character in an eclectic and playful blend of old school pop, alt-folk and light rock elements. Evoking the elegant and nuanced musicianship of Paul Simon and the euphoric power-pop of a daring Brian Wilson, ‘Mystery of the Self’ is a joy to listen to."
