Create: 1. Music to inspire; 2. Rhythm to groove; 3. Melody to motivate; 4. Harmony to enlighten; and 5. Hybrid to unite. For example, a harmony that warms the heart; a melody that makes you smile; a beat that pats your foot and tickles your toes, makes you groove or simply soothes. It could make you cry or make you laugh, or maybe something that just makes you wonder and later discover why. It can be a memory, a season, or just simply hello or goodbye. Whatever the reason: unite, give praise, reach out, promote, give hope, inspire a cause, create, celebrate, relief, aid, elevate, heal, feel good, have fun, past the time, share a rhyme, or even to make a dime. Although there is one thing music cannot do, that is, it cannot tell a lie. Unlike words that can deceive, music is vibrations, stimulation's, movements, velocities and times; emotional sound waves connecting our lives across boundaries of all kinds.
Shattered To Pieces is the story of Humpty Dumpty. It's a rocking, ripping instrumental using music to channel away frustration and pain; turning negative energy into a positive outcome - a new song & SCREAMING. If you are shattered by something, you are extremely shocked and upset about it. 1. broken into many small pieces 2. impaired or destroyed 3. dumbfounded or thoroughly upset 4. informal tired out or exhausted

Powerful strong song yet has a soft and soothing factor and beckons the question of never letting what go: a love, a person, a dream, a gift, a skill or a natural talent? Perhaps a test, if you love something and you let it go, will it come back? Will it fall and wither? Will you? Or will you grow? Could it be insecurity? It could be that we travel different rodes and cross paths with one another at different times during our life here. Sometimes it hard to let go. Other times we find our soulmate and live happily ever after. Savior is also an answer; it's the footprints in the sand story. Never Let Me Go Ooh Baby Ooh Sugar I Love You So Never Let Me Go Never Let Me Go

I’m simply confused about your deception Don’t be abused and try to make it all night
I’m broken down by your kisses, and I surrender Defeat is all right

I look for a reason, and then I look into your eyes You always haunt me, taunt me; make me want to fantasize I’ll never fall for your your obsession – your profession Everything’s going the way she wants it – your deception I will never fall to my knees for your affection Not tonight Not tonight Lipstick Assassin

We're alive - and we're dancing - we're alive! Except, they haven't a clue that they are only artificial intelligence.
We're Alive, is a celebration of Life Dancing outside is a celebration of Freedom.

Melody of the Soul
Even when I'm down and think I'm going to lose control The music and song shows that nothing is impossible It fills your soul and my mind with harmony.
Everybody asks me what will be Everybody wants to know from me They're just asking if I listen to what I say They're just talking without joining me day by day
Although anything is easily explained to you There's no showing, my emotions are all too true I'm neither acting nor addictive personality
Melody, in every single word I speak it can warm your heart makes me be a part of you Listen to this song I sing Find a world you've never been to inspire you, let your dreams come true.
Left for Good Got off Track My hard time got me back In last place
Have you ever tried to live without? did you ever know what it's all about? It's the sound of the wind that is blowing my mind It's the beat of the earth making me sleep at night
Everybody asks me what will be Everybody wants to know from me They're just asking if I listen to what I say They're just talking without joining me day by day
Although anything is easily explained to you There's no showing my emotions are all too true I'm neither acting nor addictive personality
Melody, in every single word I speak it can warm your heart makes me be a part of you Listen to this song I sing Find a world you've never been to inspire you let your dreams come true.
Melody, in every single word I speak it can warm your heart makes me be a part of you Listen to this song I sing Find a world you've never been to inspire you let your dreams come true.
Melody, in every single word I speak it can warm your heart makes me be a part of you
Left for Good Got off Track My hard time got me back In last place the last stop empty out space then I'm gone
Left for Good Got off Track My hard time got me back In last place the last stop empty out space then I'm gone
Although anything is easily explained to you There's no showing, my emotions are all too true I'm neither acting nor changing personality
Everybody asks me what will be Everybody wants to know from me They're just asking if I listen to what I say They're just talking without joining me day by day
Listen to this song I sing Find a world you've never been to inspire you let your dreams come true

What's it gonna be girl
Getting down to my feeble life You were raised on the streets having to fight for your freedom Want, need, love one another gotta see the reason to be girl gotta see the reason to be girl
Hey, I want to feel you there I want to feel you there Give me a reason to be girl And though you lost it You keep on coming around
I'm getting down, True I 've seen the light What do you want? You will shout, still coming down What's it gonna be girl
Come on baby Won’t you save me? Fine, I'll play Take you to the top
Won't you save me? Before (when) I'm gone Come on baby Won’t you save me, yeah?
I've seenyour life, squeaking by on little or no money You know why? No, you and I can't See the light, it's always night I know it ain't right
You know that feeling Like you’re weak in the knees You’ll feel it you know, I know, it's the end of my life
Come on Baby I will always love you Come on baby Won’t you save me?

I’m fired up; I’m heading downtown, looking for the time of my life. I’m running hot, I’m running cold, destination unknown. I never listened, I didn’t care. I'm living large. I'm driving fast. Always trying to make it last.
Mama told me. Look both ways before you cross the street. Mama told me. Get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat. Mama told me. Girls will be the death of me. Mama told me. I should have listened.
I’m on a freight train, going nowhere. But I’m having the ride of my life. I'm having fun, it’s not a crime. You know I'm rocking-n-rolling taking my time Life’s not fair; take it everywhere, the party goes on and on. Life’s getting shorter, days are getting longer Gonna ride it to the end of the line.
Mama told me Look both ways before you cross the street. Mama told me Get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat. Mama told me Women will be the death of me. Mama told me I should have listened.
Mama told me Look both ways before you cross the street. Mama told me Get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat. Mama told me Women will be the death of me. Mama told me I should have listened.
I never listened to what my dearest mother said. Her timeless wisdom's always running through my mind. You think you know it all, take your mama’s advice. Don’t you lie, don’t you cry, play nice, play nice.
Mama told me Look both ways before you cross the street. Mama told me Get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat. Mama told me Girls will be the death of me. Mama told me Mama told me
Mama told me Mama told me. Look both ways before you cross the street. Mama told me. Get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat. Mama told me. Girls will be the death of me. Mama told me. Mama told me.

Where did you go last night? Everything was just right Sugar-coated but bitter sweet A little attitude – a lot of sympathy and some part harmony
Just needed a place to be And a little bit of strategy I'll get us there I swear it wasn’t fair
You left – Bitter Sweet Broken Heart – Bitter Sweet Only Love – Bitter Sweet Ah–ha
Where did we go so wrong? I could feel it growing strong So sweet you became a part of me Love it when you look into my eyes Made me feel so alive
Love was sweet to me I can’t believe it too good to be true Sweet to me - Sweet to you
