Facebook Page Created

Hi All! I have finally gotten around to creating a facebook page. It has a cool feature that allows you to listen to some of my music from within the page. It will also be updated with new music and posts as I update my website.

In loving memory of my sister, this song is dedicated to her. She was a light in the lives of so many people and if you were lucky enough to have known her you would understand my inspiration for this piece of music.

Light Up :

Turn back the clock like nothing happened.
Back to that day I last saw your face.
What I wouldn’t give to be able to turn back the clock…

And see your face once again, for the last time.
And see you smile, those big brown eyes light up!
Light up! Light up my life, that’s what you did.
It’s what you do.

Everyday was a blessing to you.
And I never understood how you could love so unconditionally.
What I wouldn’t give to be able to turn back the clock…

To see your face once again, for the last time.
And see you smile, those big brown eyes light up!
Light up! Light up my life, thats what you did.
It’s what you do.

Thanks a lot to my good friend Richard for his creative input with light up.

I also have an acoustic version of Light up. You can find it here.

Beautiful to me

Words seem to fall so far short,but they’re all that I have.

You showed me what it means to love. You showed me how I should live and you still inspire me everyday. I pray you know that you were,are and always will be loved.

You and me in awe

Sometimes we just have to believe in something, something that gives us hope and purpose. “You and me in awe” is all about that hope.

It tells the story of two people finally finding one another against all odds and doing the whole living happily ever after thing. Here it is :

Oh yes, and I decided to add this funny snippet of the song… When I first tried to save the final recording of the song I accidentally hit the wrong button and upsampled the whole recording. The results were quite funny, so I decided to add it here. :)

You’re near

This song is about the fact that we often forget where we came from, because of life and the things that happen in life.

Our lives get so busy and full of meaningless things that it is often difficult to hear His voice through all of it. But what I try to emphasize through the song is the fact that He is bigger than all of this and that, despite all of life’s problems He is still right here with us.

I thought you should know

I thought you should know tells the story of someone who thinks he has fallen in love. Still not exactly sure of how he feels he leaves this mysterious choice to a higher power and decides to go with it.

Now all that’s needed is to find a way to let that special person know.

This song is supposed to serve that purpose.

To be with you

This song tells the story of a guy who is ready to leave everything that he has known just to be with someone.

This guy is so completely overwhelmed that nothing else matters and the only thing he can focus on is the one thing that makes him feel good. So he decides to pursue this feeling, even if it is at the cost of everything that he knows…
