Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.

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

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
As the sun lights up the sky
I look back and think…
another afternoon of rain .....
Its dark outside and the wind does howl
The rain is coming up through the ground
Down on my knees I’m Partitioning the lord
To save me through these dark times please once more
Dark is night as black as…

The Other Side of Love
How long have you wandered
Between the night and day
And taken all the love that just
Came your way
But…
I'll Tell Me Ma is a folk song in the Irish tradition. I recorded it with acoustic instruments, multiple vocal tracks, and spoons for the main percussion, to give it that kitchen party feel!
I did it in the key of C. Not exactly normal, but…
How was Reg to know she was a plant....
Sexy Suzie
Its told sexy Suzie knows the story way to well
She looks you in the eye and your under that spell
The mystery of the meeting disappears from your mind
How could such a beauty ever be unkind…
I wrote this song after planting and fertalizing a crop of sudan grass just to have the sun shine down with no relief on it for 100 days and no rain. We, Texas Water, were heading home one night AFTER A GIG at Gringo's in Grapevine when the…
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
I'm sick of those wise guys that lead us ....
Wise Guys
I tell you I want something I need it right now
Something to take me whey up above the clouds
I want to get high I want to learn how to fly
So I can get away from all these wise guys…

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..."
