This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!

This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

I agree with Greg -- it is indeed like Paul's recording was made for you. The lyrics ROCK! I dig the mix own of multiple vocal tracks -- great job. Gonna play it again right now!

This is my first collaboration with the talented SLKrell! He had a reggae song called "Rancho Raggae" posted a couple of weeks ago in need of a lyric, so I asked If I could write some for it, and poof whala!! Here it is! Thanks Slkrell for the…

SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU
Since I've been loving
You've made me smile
Since I've been loving
Youve made Everything worth while
Since I've been loving
I've been on such a high
Now please help me not…
Geas poured some magic sauce on this one and opened up the song to a new level .....Thanks Geas
WHY
the innocence of a lie
the reason behind the why
the sigh of regret
at that moment of death
why
why
oh why
while were swimming in…
Blaaah! I'm about sick with this one.
Perhaps you can take it to a new level.
There's lots of room :)
At 0:22 and 0:23 - during the harp intro, you can hear my dog, Fender, howling in the background.
He loves to sing with the harmonica…
an original for a change......

Baby
here i am
opening myself up to you again
i tried to block you out
and hoped you’d go away
but you keep coming
yeah you keep coming back eating up my mind everyday…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
Here's a clip from a new folk single I just released. You can hear the whole song in the video below, or on the song page on my website.
This features 2 instruments people love to hate: banjo and accordion (in this case, melodeon). But both…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Nobody loves you
Like you…
Wow! I just really love this. Amazing lyrics and the raw and measured pace of it is so compelling. Thanks for sharing the whole story of how this came to be as well. Keeps me motivated to not hit the delete button too soon.
Song inspired by listening to Nick Cave and reading all the bad news in the newspapers. Enjoy.
Lyrics and Music by yours truly, Nick Plagakis
Damn it’s cold, as I exit this road
Time is now to intoxicate the soul
Up high, private jets…

Nice early 80s touch.. Enjoying stuff like this at the most. Great synth
One of my favs. You did a wonderful vocal melody for this tune. This song JAMS!
Ah . . . It's this song that Paul remixed. It has a little more reverb on your voice. It mixes with the music perfectly.
Is this the song that Paul remixed? It sounds good.
I agree with Greg -- it is indeed like Paul's recording was made for you. The lyrics ROCK! I dig the mix own of multiple vocal tracks -- great job. Gonna play it again right now!
Great song, Colleen. Your instincts were spot on with this collab.
Excellent . . . It's like this music was made for your lyrics. Great lyrics Colleen Nice music Paul!
