This song was inspired by seeing the way the sky was reflected through the window onto my glass top desk. Looking down, it appeared as though you could 'fall right into the sky'! It is a song of longing, a piano-driven romantic ballad. The video: https://youtu.be/4TwDqDUA4mo
How many words rhyme with bumbling? Well apparently at least 7! A take on that awkwardness you feel running into a bygone lover on the street ;) on a serious note, a reminder that "it takes two to win at love." Video here: https://youtu.be/-ERHesSwpk4

I Love dragonflies. So beautiful! But did you know they are predators? I used characteristics of a dragonfly in this song as metaphor for a fickle love interest, who appears suddenly … then is gone! Whimsical lyric video: https://youtu.be/Eo37zki_Wig

"If I Do" is a simple production, stripped back to my folk roots. A tale of meeting someone new, and the ambivalence of feelings regarding the potential of a new love. Friends were kind enough to be my actors in this video filmed at a local mall! https://youtu.be/Jsl07gY6skc
I co-wrote this with Leah A. Doan. She recorded a version with a hint of R & B, and I recorded a version re-imagining the track with a moody indie vibe. The song itself tells of feeling taken for granted, stuck in the background, unappreciated ... just like wallpaper! Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/k5eZPHtCeIQ
Co-written with producer J. Benjamin Kesler, the vocal stylings and heavier instrumentation venture a bit further into the rock realm than previous acoustic based releases. "Again" shines, circles, and intensifies as it explores the desperation, longing, and single-minded preoccupation over love lost. https://youtu.be/uV9OYn_rZJQ

This public domain song was recorded at the request of a family member as a lullaby for her little one. Happy with the way it turned out, I decided to share this simple acoustic version with others. Lovely guitar work by Ben Kesler.
