Hymn For These Times

A call to action in terms of just staying awake in the world, when all you really want to do is go back to sleep. The world is calling. It calls for you.

12 Don't Look Away

This is the Tina version of a country song.  Under "genre," I made up a word, but it was already there: 'blazzco' (blues, jazz, and country)  Hope that's what it means, cuz that's what *I* meant by it.  

WHEN THE GLASS SLIPPER BREAKS with tina vocal(2)

This was a song I wrote in 2008 I think. A friend of mine, the great composer/lyricist Daniel Maté, invited his fellow Tisch musical theatre grad school grads to pick a living character and write a song about him/her. The living character had to also be currently living in Brooklyn. When the songs were complete, he put on a show of us performing the songs we’d written — and we invited all our characters and their family and friends. It was an amazing evening.

MIND LIKE A CARNIVAL

Written for my wife on our tenth anniversary. This beautiful arrangement was created by Matt Castle and Frank Galgano. Piano and vocals, Tina Lear; everything else, Matt and Frank.

SHE GOT ME

Written on Thanksgiving for my father, who died in 1978.

04 Ancestor mp3

"All You Got Is You" comes from the musical "Cathy's Creek," that Elise Forier-Edie and I wrote (published by Dramatic Publishing in 2005).  This was a draft of the song, so I'm singing it, and of course, doing all the backup chickens as well.  The character is Jack Decastro, who owns a factory farm in a depressed region of Iowa--and who is running for mayor. He's addressing a high school class, trying to increase his visibility and get their parents to vote for him.
