Rollercoaster is a song about what it is like to live with grief.

Lyrics:

How I'm doing is a complicated question.
This rollercoaster is not easy to ride.
Between these closed doors and opening a new one
I'm at the mercy of emotional tides.

I'd do anything to stop feeling this way.
Grief is a sucker punch to the heart.
It gives you the impression you are getting better.
Then, you find yourself right back at the start.
Then, you find yourself right back at the start.
Light, please shine yourself on my wounded heart.

How I'm doing is a complicated question.
This rollercoaster is not easy to ride.
Between these closed doors and opening a new one
I'm at the mercy of emotional tides.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

There is nothing you can say to make this better.
But I understand that you have to try.
They say it takes time 'til you're clear of stormy weather.
I'll know I'll get there, but it won't be tonight.
I'll know I'll get there, but it won't be tonight.
I'll know I'll get there. I won't give up the fight.

How I'm doing is a complicated question.
This rollercoaster is not easy to ride.
Between these closed doors and opening a new one
I'm at the mercy of emotional tides.
How I'm doing is a complicated question.
This rollercoaster is not easy to ride.
Between these closed doors and opening a new one
I'm at the mercy of emotional tides.
I'm at the mercy of emotional tides.
This rollercoaster is one hell of a ride.

Just For You

I co-wrote this song with Dave Sorensen during the listening room songwriting retreat in 2023. It's about living your life your way.

Lyrics:

Standing on the mountain top
Looking over the great divide.
Now, far away from
The road I left behind.
There's a great big future there
In all I can see.
I can go east, I can go west
It's all up to me.

It wasn't always quite so easy
Finding my way through the haze.
Those were hard times, but I made it through
Trusting I'd see better days.

Looking back at it all
Now I gotta smile.
Even the hard times
Have all been worth the while.
It's hard to fathom
Where it all began.
And now today
Here I am.

It wasn't always quite so easy
Finding my way through the haze.
Those were hard times, but I made it through
Trusting I'd see better days.

I wouldn't want anything else.
I wouldn't do anything else.
I wouldn't need anything else.
I wouldn't be anyone else... but me.

I'm where I want to be.
I'm who I am.
The place I find myself
Is my last stand.

It wasn't always quite so easy
Finding my way through the haze.
Those were hard times, but I made it through
Trusting I'd see better days.

My Last Stand (Co-Written with Dave Sorensen)

I wrote Time To Go Away after I left my husband of over 20 years. At the time, it had been eight years since I wrote a song, as there wasn’t much space for my music in that relationship. So making this step was the beginning of my reconnection with music and myself again.

Lyrics:

I trusted you to keep me safe.
I thought we were good together.
I trusted you to keep me sane.
I thought we would last forever.

But I was wrong.
You did me wrong.
Beyond what mere words can say.

I think of you but I
I won't stay.
My mind is mine and it's
Time to walk away.
I think of you but I'll
I'll have my say.
My mind is mine and it's
Time to go away.
Time to go away.
Time to go away.

For so long you... you had your say.
I forgot my own intention.
For so long you... you made me pay.
I forgot my own connection.

But I was gone.
Lost my own song.
Unsung along the way.

I think of you but I
I won't stay.
My mind is mine and it's
Time to walk away.
I think of you but I'll
I'll have my say.
My mind is mine and it's
Time to go away.
Time to go away.
Time to go away.
Time to go away.
Time to go away.

Time To Go Away

I'll Do It All With You is a song about that moment when you realize that you are connected deeply with someone (from lifetimes together), and you don’t want to hold back in any way with them - even if it means letting go of rigid plans of how you think your life should unfold.

Lyrics:

My head was full of plans until I met you.
Then, they all seemed to blow away.
The things that used to matter, I don't do anymore.
Seems like I'm paving a new way... with you.

I'll do it all with you.
All the things I thought I'd never say.
I'll settle down with you.
Leave it all behind and let you stay.

I never thought I'd feel this way
Ready to give it all to you.
There is nothing I have wanted more
Than to find my way back to you.

I'll do it all with you.
All the things I thought I'd never say.
I'll settle down with you.
Leave it all behind and let you stay.
I'll do it all with you.
All the things I thought I'd never say.
I'll settle down with you.
Leave it all behind and let you stay.
Leave it all behind and let you stay.
Leave it all behind and let you stay.

I'll do it all with you until the end.
Then I'll find you, and we'll do it all again.
I'll do it all with you until the end.
Then I'll find you, and we'll do it all again.
I'll do it all with you until the end.
Then I'll find you, and we'll do it all again.

The Unknown is a song about facing the unfamiliar when you get closure on a bad relationship because the person passes away.

Lyrics:

It's not about you.
It's just the unknown.
Once, I built my life around you.
But now I have a new home.

I always wondered
How it'd feel to be done.
And now that you floundered
I can finally move on.

Now, you're no longer here
And you were not part of my life
For many years.
I have no excuses
For holding back
These last hard won tears.

Now, you're no longer here
And you were not part of my life
For many years.
I have no excuses
For holding back
These last hard won tears.

It's not about you.
It's just the unknown.
It's not about you.
It's just the unknown.
It's not about you.
It's just the unknown.
It's not about you.
It's just the unknown.

Love Again is about when you want to open up to love again, but when you do, the pain from when you got hurt resurfaces, and you find yourself caught between two conflicting emotions. And yet, when you meet the right person, you want to open up regardless.

Lyrics:

I was given every reason
To shut my heart for good.
With the changing of the seasons
I wondered if I should.
Every time I think I’m ready
My trauma reminds me that I’m not.
It’s hard to keep my heart steady
When the memories won’t stop.

But you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
Yeah you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
Thirsting for affection
Hungry for attention.
Yeah you you you you you
You make me want to love again.

Now that I have met you
My heart wants to open up.
But then it remembers why
It wants to armor up.
Tell me how do I feel nervous and safe
At the same time?
It’s like I want to run away and get closer
In the same stride.

But you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
Yeah you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
Thirsting for affection
Hungry for attention.
Yeah you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
You make me want to love again.
You make me want to love again.
You make me want to love again.

Oh you you you you you ahhh ahhh
Oh you you you you you ahhh ahhh
Thirsting for affection
Hungry for attention.
Yeah you you you you you
You make me want to love again.
You make me want to love again.
You make me want to love again.

This song is about the wisdom all around you, but there are times when you are not ready to receive it and how transformative it can be when the time is finally right - and it blossoms within.

Lyrics:

What did your wise ones tell you?
Did you forget?
Did you regress?
How did the omens guide you?
Did you suspect?
Did you repress?

It’s all there if you can see it
But if you can’t see it
You can’t change it

How did your fortress bind you?
Did you lament?
Did you pretend?
How did your heartache hide you?
Did you suspend?
Did you offend?

It’s all there if you can see it
But if you can’t see it
You can’t change it

Open your heart
To the start
Of the rest of your life
Open your mind
And you’ll find
The gift of inner sight

What do you see before you?
Can you profess?
Can you digest?
How do you stand in the truth?
Can you confess?
That you are blessed

It’s all there if you can see it
But if you can’t see it
You can’t change it
It’s all there if you can see it
But if you can’t see it
You can’t change it

It’s all there for you to see it
And now you see it
You can change it
It’s all there for you to see it
And now you see it
You can change it
You can change it

First Christmas Alone is a song about loneliness at Christmas time, because it is your first time celebrating the holidays on your own.

Lyrics:

Distracted by Christmas chores
I forget I'm on my own
Until I'm home and the work is done.

The presents that I will send
Make their way to other lands
While I'm home and craving fun.

It's my first Christmas alone.

I'm painting my Christmas cards.
A message sent from my heart
So you know how much I care.

When I have sent them all
I realize I'm on my own.
Who knew silence could be so hard.

It's my first Christmas alone.
It's my first Christmas alone.

No-one to bake with
No-one to cook with
No-one there, just me.
No-one to bake with
No-one to cook with
No-one here, just me.

When the big day arrives
I'm wrapped up in the surprise
Until all the gifts have been undone.

The phone calls and Christmas cards
Help to relieve my heart
Until all the words we shared are done.

It's my first Christmas alone.
It's my first Christmas alone.
It's my first Christmas alone.

In or Out of Love is a song about when you are in a “will they - won’t they” situation with someone. I wrote it in the in-between phase of finding out that nothing is going to happen and getting that person out of your system and moving on. It is also about how you can give away your power when you want someone you can’t have.

Lyrics:

Even when you're breaking my heart
It's ok if you are near
Even when we're many miles apart
It's ok if you appear
Even when we don't speak for years
It's ok if you call
Even when I've shed all these tears
It's ok if you fall...

In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me

Even when it's not meant to be
It's ok if you stall
Even if this lifetime is just to see 
If it's ok if you fall...

In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me

Even when you're breaking my heart
Even when we're many miles apart
Even when we don't speak for years
Even when I've shed all these tears
It's ok if you fall...

In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me
In or out of love with me

The song Miracle is about when you are facing some obstacle in your life that you have no idea how you will get through, but you still have hope there is a way forward - you are just not seeing it yet.

Lyrics:

Sometimes, life has to be cruel to be kind.
Sometimes, it seems an insurmountable climb.
But no matter where I fall on the line.
There's one thing that I must keep in mind.

I don't know how it started.
But I know how it ends.

When it takes takes a miracle.
When it takes takes a miracle.
When it takes takes a miracle,
To get by.

When you've cashed in your luck, your good graces, and favors
Your friends dwindle down 'til you're left all alone.
Risking it all, you still take time to savor
Anything left that still feels like your home.

I don't know how it started.
But I know how it ends.

When it takes takes a miracle.
When it takes takes a miracle.
When it takes takes a miracle,
To get by.

Facing yourself again.
Building your confidence.
Marshalling all your strengths.
And making peace with them,
With them.

Some day, the voices now screaming round your brain
Will fade to an unnoticeable din.
Some days will grip you until you fall again.
But many more will come that won't spell the end.

I may not know how it started.
But I can know how it ends.

When it takes takes a miracle.
When it takes takes a miracle.
It's gonna take take a miracle,
This time
To get by.

Just Keep Moving is about encouraging yourself and others to keep pushing forward, even in tiny baby steps, because you never know what is around the next corner in your life. 

I wrote this as a love note from one part of me that knew I would get through this tough time and pick myself up again, just like I did a thousand times before, to the part of me that felt like a total mess. 

I hope it helps you when you are struggling and having a bad day. 

Just keep moving forward.

Note:  I experienced technical issues that prevented the amplification of my guitar during this track.

Lyrics:

Did you barely get out of bed today?
Did you have to push all the stress away?
I know it feels like you can't escape the pain.
I know it feels like the world's too much to take.

But just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe

'Cause when you're down and under attack
Just remember I got your back.
When you're low, just keep moving
You never know where you are heading.

Did you have to fight your demons today?
Did you let yourself get in your way?
I know it looks like your life's in disarray.
I know it looks like it'll always be this way.

But just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe

'Cause when you're down and under attack
Just remember I got your back.
When you're low, just keep moving
You never know where you are heading.

Ooooh oooh. Oooooh oooh.
Ooooh oooh. Oooooh oooh.

But just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe

Don't look back. Just keep moving.
Don't look back. Just keep moving.
Don't look back. Just keep moving.
Don't look back. Just keep moving.

'Cause when you're down and under attack
Just remember I got your back.
When you're low, just keep moving
You never know where you are heading.

Ooooh oooh. Oooooh oooh.

In Your Arms is one of my few happy love songs. It is about losing yourself in bliss, in the arms of your beloved.

Lyrics:

In your arms
I've never known such surrender.
In your arms
Lifetimes of grief just melts away.
In your arms
I want to stay that way forever.
In your arms
We know the parts we're meant to play.

Oooh ooh ooh
Being with you.
Oooh ooh ooh
Is all I want to do.

In your arms
I finally know what love is.
In your arms
Feels like the world just melts away.

Oooh ooh ooh
Being with you.
Oooh ooh ooh
Is all I want to do.
Oooh ooh ooh
Being with you.
Oooh ooh ooh
Is all I want to do.

Lifetimes of grief just melts away.
In your arms
I have no clue what the time is.
In your arms
It is the light shining the way.

The Observer is a song about when you see through someone's BS and  don't take it anymore.

You'll come no further.
You time is up now.
I am the observer.
And I find I've stood up now.

You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me.

This time, I'm on fire.
And you can't stop me.
I find I am wiser.
The truth is what drives me.

You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.

You try but give up now.
You won't be support.
Your lies have to stop now.
If you don't, you'll be thwarted.

You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me any longer.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.
You can't fool me.

Find The Words is about releasing the kind of heartache that leaves you speechless when a part of you wants an explanation for something that is senseless and irrational, and there are no words.

Lyrics:

Where do I go
For the answers I seek?
What could you say
That could give me the peace
That my heart deserves.
When the blank page is my bible
The silence my gospel
But it doesn’t mean we don’t try
To find the words.
 
This pain ain’t going nowhere.
I know that I cannot be spared.
Unless I refuse to grow
And you know
That’s not me.
So bring it all on
Hit me until it’s all gone.
I don’t want to carry
This hurt no more.
‘Cause I can see
A time when I’m free,
Free to be me,
Just like it should have been.
 
Can you find the words
That my heart deserves?
Can you find the words for me?
 
Can you find the words
That my heart deserves?
Or are you as speechless as me?
 
‘Cause I can’t find the words
That my heart deserves
For what you did to me.
So just find the words!
