Katydid is the quirky follow-up to Dragonfly. Both borrowed from the insect characteristics and applied them to our human behavior ~ I call these my "Bug Collection" ;) Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/80YFspHf86k

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

Yellow Bird was Inspired by a real little goldfinch who came to my window! She was so insistent, pecking repeatedly with her tiny beak as though she had a message for me. I used this as a metaphor, listening for God's voice. Thumbprint art video : https://youtu.be/AbVZSbr6mvg

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

An acoustic spin on a hauntingly beautiful song written by George Harrison featuring Hunter Kesler on violin with Ben Kesler adding the sweet electric vibe! Watch the video with footage from Red Pill Studios on Youtube: https://youtu.be/o5jUXyD_8T0

Once called a "lyricist with the heart of a poet," Marianne uses lyrical imagery to paint an audio portrait of the sadness of a broken relationship. The video, with stunning rain and falling leaves footage, can be watched here: https://youtu.be/AGSDkLUlaig

"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
