About My
MUSIC
Welcome to my songs. I hope you find them entertaining but also thought-provoking. The songs listed below are available for purchase online at Amazon.com or will be available soon. All are ballads arranged and performed by Nashville session musicians that have recorded, performed or toured with major artists. I trust you'll enjoy these demos as much as I do.
Many families experience a breakdown in their relationship when a man asserts leadership in sometimes well-meaning but unhealthy and disrespectful ways. This acoustic country ballad describes such a breakdown when a husband's insensitivity to his woman's simple needs for attention and partnership--often leaving him with little but precious family memories. Recorded by some of Nashville's top session musicians, this song will remind you of singers like Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton or Trace Atkins.
Everyone who loves will know the pain of a lost love. That's the nature of the beast -- and its beauty. "Parting" tenderly reflects that experience in honest, genuine and, ultimately, hopeful words and a hauntingly memorable melody. The enchanting vocal by Devin Belle brings to mind legendary voices like Celine Dion, Streisand, Nianell and Carrie Underwood.
I Thirst
I'm no theologian, but I would guess that when Jesus gasped out the words, "I thirst" as he neared complete exhaustion and death, he wasn't referring only to his physical need for water. Every fiber of Jesus' spirit yearned to re-connect with his Father, with the peace and glory he had always known before his sojourn on earth. This song echoes that plea with the passionate sound of artists like Chris Tomlin, Lauren Daigle or Fernando Ortega.
"This is a brilliant song. I love the words and composition… Great tune I love it. I was anointed when I heard this track touched and blessed. Beautiful song.”
"There is something genuine about their lyrics where you feel like the vocalist actually lived this story. The melody is enticing and would appeal to the masses on a grand scale. This could be one of the greats right here.”
I'm no theologian, but I would guess that when Jesus gasped out the words, "I thirst" as he neared complete exhaustion and death, he wasn't referring only to his physical need for water. I think this barely audible plea reflected his earlier cry, "My God, my God, why have You deserted me?" Every fiber of Jesus' spirit yearned to re-connect with his Father, with the peace and glory he had always known before his sojourn on earth. I can't claim the intense desparation of Jesus in that moment but like David before him (who's words Jesus quoted), our humanity often cries out to our Father to "break down the walls of heaven and touch me once again." This song echoes that plea with the passionate sound of artists like Chris Tomlin, Hillsong or Fernando Ortega.
"Love the lyrics. The message is so real and necessary. The piano's melody truly make this song amazing.”
"I would play this 1000 times and still wouldn't hate it. Vocal goes well with the background music and it was just lovely to listen… The song is just not long enough. Solid 10”"
"This song connects you with God."
In the Bible, the apostle Paul's letter to the church he began in Phillippi urges these new believers in Jesus to battle their (legitimate) fears by focusing their thoughts on 8 "whatevers" (4:8). This compelling ballad builds on Paul's theme as a reminder to me to do the same. Sometimes I'm a bit too "realistic" for my own good, assuming I see the future based on my past and present rather than on the provision and grace of God. I need to "take each thought captive" -- and this song helps. Maybe it will help you, too. If you like Chris Tomlin, Hillsong and Fernando Ortega, you'll like the tenderness of "Think On These."

"I loved the message this song sends to people (fear none and trust God). I would love to hear more songs like this being played on the radio -- not only is it inspirational but it lets people dream again). The melody was graceful. I love this song! i give this song a rating of 10/10!”
There's a reason why the term "Fear not" is found in the Bible nearly 120 times: it's hard for most of us to get the fact that God really does love us -- loves me -- and wants me to focus my attention on Him rather than on what I fear. This song assumes the gentle voice of Jesus, assuring us that He's fully aware of our fragile spirits (BTW, if you imagine this doesn't mean you, guess again) and wants desparately for us to learn and believe that "if not a sparrow leaves the sky without my knowing why, then how much more will I remember you?"
