There may be debate whether these songs fit in the category of rock, but they’re as rockin’ as I get. (A link for those songs that have YouTube music videos has been added.)

Song #1 “Cold, Cold, Cold“ – On some days you find yourself in such a cold environment that no matter how hard you try you just can’t get yourself warm. This is a song about one such day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkcz18EW5Ew&list=PL3B2C81B27208BD0D&index=9

Song #2 “Give’m What They Want” – The lavish luxuries of life are just pacifiers that keep us from getting up and utilizing the energy that comes from the love within.

Song #3 “I Was Lazy” –When I was too lazy to do the work required to seek out a more fulfilling love than one that just fed on my worldly needs.

Song #4 “We’re So Civilized” – We may think that we’re so civilized, but there are many deficits that need to be addressed.

Song #5 “Until This Planet’s Green” – “We won’t let this planet die in the hands of greed… We will help you until this planet’s green.”

Song #6 “Do I Sing or Do I Die?” – At some point in every one’s life they are confronted with this question. It’s then that we have to choose if we’re going to find our voice and sing or shrivel up and die.

Song #7 “Back to Your Heart” – Occasionally, throughout our lives we may need to rediscover our voice and then get back to the core of who we are.

Song #8 “Our Love Will Give Us Love” – This song ponders the question. Is it possible that as we give our love we are also creating a reserve of love that we can call upon in the future?

Song #6 “Free Us” – A positive song about our quest to be free from the distractions that prevent us from realizing our love and thus from contributing to the Big Love.

Song #7 “You Can Do It” – An uplifting song. “You can do it. You can make it through it even though you might wonder why.”

Many of us spend much of our lives searching for the answer to the question “What is my life all about?”  These are a few songs about my personal quest.

Song #1 “Everybody Needs Something to Believe In“ – This song is not about everybody needing to go out and pick a religion, but more importantly it’s about holding your beliefs up to the light and examining them.

Song #2 “Take Us to Heaven” – Maybe, heaven is more about what we create each day here for ourselves than some perfect paradise in the future.

Song #3 “The Wind” – The second song I ever wrote that requests the aid of “the wind” to give me some direction and then to put that wind behind me to keep me moving.

Song #4 “The Stop-Motion Church of Love“ – A church about finding love. A church filled with laughter and sometimes tears. “A church where you can be yourself and leave the props to someone else.”  A place where you can tell your story and truly feel alive.

Song #5 “It’s a Mystery” – “Why do we trust our foolish pride, as she takes us on a lonely ride?”

Song #6 “Could You Be My Religion?” – A song about going out to look for that just right product or religion.

Song #7 “Om Namah Shivaya” – A mantra (simply put):  I bow to the God within. “Sometimes it’s the simpler the better.” Smile, laugh, sing.
