New Song On The Way

My wife highly suggested I take a small break from music over the last few weeks. I had become so immersed in trying to make this happen, that happen, get this done, get that done, that I had begin to lose myself. So I promised I would not work on any music for a few weeks. (officially, I was not going to continue until March 1). But something happened over the last few weeks. I became refreshed, my mind became open to fresh ideas. What happened reminded me of what my father always says, "No sitting, No soaring". Because I was able to take a short break from music, I'm now able to come back, and bring you creations I didn't even know was possible...let's begin. New song on the way in two weeks.

I Wanna Make You Cry Too!

Gotta give it to Adele, she pours such real, and raw emotion into each and every record she does (would love to see Grammy performance). After reading an article by Beth Teitell on Boston.com titled, Why Cry Over 'Someone'?, I could not help but to ask myself....has any one of my songs ever made someone cry?

Now with many of my songs, I would hope it would any tears would be of joy, which I would hope songs like "Gorgeous Girl" may do.  But then I write songs that reflect a time when I myself was going through a struggle, like "Stuck".

One can only wonder. But I would love hearing from any one of my fans with how one of my songs has made them feel.

Keep on being you Adele!

Love Lyrics (Countdown to Valentine's Day"

"No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day" - Stevie Wonder - 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'

"I Don't Need No Dreams When I'm By Your Side
Every Moment Takes Me To Paradise
Darlin', Let Me Hold You
Warm You In My Arms And Melt Your Fears Away
Show You All The Magic That A Perfect Love Can
Make
I Need You Night And Day?" - Michael Jackson - 'Baby Be Mine'

"A foreign beauty so exotic
When she smiled at me
She took my breath away
She's reminiscent of a goddess
It's a shame that we could not communicate
How do I say" - Usher - 'How do I say'

"You should be in magazines, baby
The world should know who you are
Can't help myself from staring
Forgive me, can't turn away
I'm caught up in your eyes" - Jared Jones - 'Gorgeous Girl'


These are just a few lyrics from some of my favorite artists, and artists who inspire my own music. With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, and the sale of Hallmark cards, chocolate candy, and red roses about to spike, it's a great time to highlight the lyrics in love songs. Are these lyrics reminiscent of what's being said to you ladies? Have you said something like this to your ladies fellas?
