I wrote “Her Song” in June of 2005 when my oldest daughter was 11 and entrenched in the challenges of middle school navigation. “Her Song” is a look into the mind and feelings of a young girl on the brink of adulthood for whom I care deeply but could not always reach or understand.

I recorded “Her Song” this past summer in Dave’s studio. Again, Dave did an amazing job helping to refine the arrangement. He also added a bass line and acoustic guitar solo that are right on the money. I have thought of this song as a good B Side to “Flowers.” I can picture it on a Vinyl 45 Single. Maybe someday.

Enjoy listening and let me know what you think.

In the Studio with “Flowers”

I wrote “Flowers” in the winter of 2006 while taking a course in Craniosacral Therapy. As we explored the deeper parts of ourselves, I came across a space within myself that held an old and elusive memory of my father, who died when I was only 2.

The song “Flowers” is about the importance of my relationship with my dad, but how quickly it ended and the difficulty in holding on to the memories. Sometimes they surface and hint at a rich connection, but always, they quickly fade.

This summer, I had the privilege of working with a talented musician and friend, Dave Parker. We worked through a couple of my original songs and chose two to record, one of which was “Flowers.” Dave made some insightful additions to the song as well as created and played drums and bass on the recording. Oh yeah, he also recorded the song in his new studio, an amazingly talented guy. Thanks, Dave!

Here is the final recording. Let me know what you think.
