Song #121 "Breaking Up"

Song #120 "Merry Go Round"

"Astronaut" video by TheBiscuitStud

From a fan of "My Nine to Five" ... so funny :)

Song #119 "Silver Lining"

A very unfortunate incident happened recently involving my boyfriend, a fire and a motorcycle. He is completely fine thank GOD but his motorcycle ... not so much! The whole back end was burnt down to the frame. Not only that but it was his FIRST time taking it for a spin. His reaction was "why does this happen to me?" and where is the silver lining type of thing. That is where this song came from. I liked the lyrical spin off of "You're my everything" to "You're my everything ... happens for a reason". I feel bad for him and if we find out the reason for this I'll add it later :)

Song #118 "Timothy Moore"

This song was written for a youtube friend of mine. He is in High School and has been struggling with his parent's acceptance. He asked me to write a song for him hoping my voice would be heard louder than his. I hope so too! That is a huge obligation but I though I might at least try! Good luck TImothy! Nobody will be comfortable with who you are unless you are too :) I hope this helps!

Song #117 "Today"

Song #116 "Cubical Smile"

This song was written with Zac Taylor. Check out his music on his myspace! His album "Salesman" on myspace! It's awesome!!!

This Co-write was great because he writes completely different than I do. I always write the lyrics/music together or write the music and put words to. Zac writes the opposite where he thinks of the story and the lyrical ideas before even touching an instrument or singing a note. I'll try that this week and see what happens.

Song #115 "Running For the Train"

Song #114 "Astronaut"

Song #113 "Unbreakable"

Song #112 "Vampire"

I guess I was just feeling "Halloweenie" today! A couple of days ago I attended a clinic with Claude Kelly as the guest speaker and it was AWESOME! Very inspiring. I have been listening to a lot of top ten pop music lately and that is probably where this song came from. If you don't know Claude Kelly check out his discography here:

He was very down to earth and gave a bunch of us hope that we can make it in the music biz! A teacher of mine at Berklee said we had a better chance at winning the lottery. She is what I might call ... an optimist :) As long as I'm closer to my goal every day I feel good! I have a lot to be thankful for!

Song #111 "So Afraid"

I have been getting on average 4 hours of sleep a day so my body finally flipped me the big ole bird and made me crash. I'm sick and I slept all day today which resulted in pulling an all-nighter to finish this song (the neighbors weren't to happy) and had to stop after they pounded on the ceiling. Thankfully I had enough recorded where I could just copy and paste the chorus vocals as well as the video.

Song #110 "Time Bomb"

I wish I had more time for this song. Finished at 4 in the morning so I had to sing quietly and I wanted to belt on this one and add tons of backup vocals. If I have time in the next couple of days I'll re-record it and post the Mp3 here. GOOD NIGHT!

Song #109 "Thank You"

Song #108 "Innocent"

Song #107 "Yellostone"

Song #106 "Know You Like I Use To"

Song #105

Song #104 "Warning Signs"

I started this song a couple days ago but quickly realized I wouldn't finish it in time so I moved to a different song ("If I could see myself). I finished all the backing tracks first (video recorded the piano part) and then sung the vocals for the video.

Thank you to my generous backers of my kickstarter project! I appreciate it! Solomon ... I love you <3

Special thank you to CN Bring. She is an author from Montana (and is doing book signings in the area so you should go check her out if you can).

Song #103 "Reptile Boy"

Soooo yesterday I finished my Kickstarter video and didn't leave much time to write this song. I finished it at 4 in the morning and had to sing quietly, so the recording and the song aren't the greatest. I think it's a song I'll pursue though because I think it could be good. I got the idea after seeing a youtube of a child with cancer sleeping with his toy alligator. I though that it would be neat to have him be a "reptile" superhero. I also really like the music in the beginning so it is definitely "in the works". So I like the idea but it didn't quite come out the way I hoped.

Song #102 "If I Could See Myself"

Song #101 "Dive Into the Bottle"

Song #100 "All Your Fault"

Song #99 "Outlaw"

Song #98 "Come out, come out"

I wrote this song today after seeing this post/video by Ellen DeGeneris.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B-hVWQnjjM

This is a big subject and I could use a couple more days to brush up the lyrics (especially in the verse section). It doesn't yet have the impact I was going for. Overall though I was proud to write about this subject because it is very near and dear to my heart.

Song #97 "Lost My Mind"

Song #96 "Johnny Danger"

I've had the idea for this song for about a year. I had the "Oh Danny Danger" hook line but never made it into a song. I was going through my voice recorder of song ideas and this one jumped out at me.

I had an idea about Danny Danger as this boy who wants to be a superhero and turns to the dark side as he developes over the years. I decided to change the hook to Johnny Danger because my dad's name is Danny and I couldn't sing it without picturing my dad :/ I also though that Johnny Danger sounded better.

Song #95 "Piano Song"

I'm feeling a little sick today and my throat HURTS. Opted to do a piano song and rest up the voice a bit. This song came about because I asked my boyfriend to pick a letter between A and G. Then pick between major and minor ... and chose 4/4 or 6/8. If you know NOTHING about music this means nothing to you but it basically would tell me what "letter"/note to start on, if it sounds happy or sombre, and if it sounds like a rock song or more laid back. He chose F, minor and 6/8 (playing in F- on the piano is a beeeeoch but sounds really pretty!). So there you have it.

Song #94 "Wishing Waters"

Very quick recording at work and off to make my logo for next week. This is the "old song Sunday" song for the week. (I post an old song if mine on Sundays as well as draw my new logo for the following week) I don't remember where or why I wrote this song but it is always fun to play. Sometimes I just gots to get my "jig" on.
