This was written when I was spending a lot of time away from home. ER

This is a song about our relationship, and about the differences in our backgrounds and our families. My better half might disagree, but there's more truth here than rumor. ER

This is the wish of every traveling musician who has a loved one at home.

It took us 15 years to buy a house, and we are both of the same opinion: we never really want to move again. We love the house too much to leave it. ER

No amount of sunshine can heal a broken heart.

A friend of mine did an off-the-cuff review of this song, saying "he's taken a subject so depressing and made it sound so good". What do you think? ER

This song contains some of my best harmonies that are perhaps not the most well executed. My original thought was that this would be a duet, with my voice taking the low part and an alto or mezzo soprano taking the higher part. Anyone want to…

Hey, friends, I'm looking for opinions for this one. I wrote this song some time ago, and it's posted on this site. Today I changed some of the instrumentation and cut down on the keyboards, strings, etc. I'd like to know if you like this or…

I wrote this in anticipation of seeing my wife after a long absence. The heart had grown fonder . . .

Everyone tried to tell me, but I just wouldn't listen.

A message to my beloved. Funny thing is, though, that she said much the same to me. Enjoy. ER

Title track from a past album, this song about a woman I saw every day out my appartment window.

One night I was seated in a lounge chair in my back yard when the thought ocurred to me. This is nice, but is this all there is? Is this the reason I work? Is this the reason I pay bills and worry about the future and make sure my kids do their…

This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.

Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head. ER

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…

This is the most hopeful of the songs on the new album. I just decided one day to say "to hell with it, they're not gonna get me down!". ER

This is my most angry song. Sodom And Gamorrah (c)2010 Terry A. Beckett How many times have we seen it? Headline the evening news. How many faces have been featured While the tabloids expose the ruse? How many sweet young things Have tried…

I have an older brother like this . . .
