Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…

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…

I wrote this one yesterday. A little something to bring hope for the future.... there's always time to begin anew.
Thanks to Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren for their wonderful guitars and vocals on this one - recorded yet again around my kitchen…
Very nice song. I don't know you guys, but this song makes me think that your kitchen is probably an enjoyable place to just sit around. Thank you for the moment of calm.

A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it!
Sometimes You Don't
Verse 1
Sometimes in the early morning hours
As the sun lights up the sky
I look back and think…
The other night I was sitting out watching a little fire in my backyard, and thinking about how useless it is to let the past dictate our present and future. This one is dedicated to all of us with relationships in our history that have no place…
Beautiful singing and great accompaniment!
I’m working my way—slowly—through your songs here and am taken with your clear, precise singing voice on every one. You put that ukulele to good use too.
Also, thanks for your kind words about my stuff the other day; it means a lot!
A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!
Blood Wolf Moon
VERSE 1
Blood wolf moon this January…
In a world of what I hear as weird pop vocal affectations, your precise singing clear enunciation is refreshing to listen to. Nice guitars and ukulele on these songs too.
The Minnesota Association of Songwriters issued a writing challenge this January to "borrow" conceptually from a writer that has influenced our writing to create a new original work of our own. Once you hear this, I think you'll get the idea…
Beautiful! Great idea for a song. What a lovely melody. ps. thanks for your support. Glad I found your music too; it's all so gorgeous. Listening to the next one as I write this. :)
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.

Verse 1
Sometimes in the early morning hours

This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
A new song.
I did this one on my own
Due to the corona curfew here we can't play with the band
A song about collecting, and the piling of stuff that can become a burden
--------------------------------------
I have been gathering so much…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
The fascists will be gone from power in four days (barring further coup d'états of course)... what am I going to write about when the adults are in control again?
This was written for the 2018 RPM Challenge. I know all of the guitars used…
This was the title track to last year's RPM Challenge. It's only been 11 months but this is the third different version of this I've done already. I thought this would be the best of them but it probably is not. It's faster and it's in a different…
I think it was the summer of 2016. I was trying to work on 50/90 and I set some rules for myself involving double tracking the crap out of everything and not using any GarageBandy short cuts like direct signal guitars with amp sims and copying…
well after listening to the mixers on alone tone I decided to do some apple loops.
I had a great time with it , so here is a jazz tune on the positive side
ive had it with sad tunes

Ooh, a great bit of magic ........ Coffee and Cream .........
Nice one!
I'm giggling out loud. THAT WAS FUN! Great song Colleen. Thanks for including Mark and I in it.
Such pathos. Your voice captures the sadness so well... Sometimes you don’t feel the love until you’ve lost it..."
