World's Fastest Songwriter

It’s official!

I am now the world’s record holder for the fastest songwriter!

I wrote a theme song for Fran Capo, The Guiness Book of World Records holder for Fastest Talking Female as well as Deepest Book signing and Highest book signing.

I talked to Fran for about a half an hour on the phone. About 30 minutes later I’d written her theme song, “Adventure Girl”. A few hours later I recorded it with my friend Joe Mennonna and it was on it’s way to being played on national radio. So in less than 24 hours it went from concept to creation to broadcast.

Even Fran was impressed. So she submitted my song to Record Holders Republic who officially recognized it just this past week! Check out my world record!

Co-incidentally (BTW there ARE no coincidences!) I will be taping an episode of Fran Capo’s new TV show tomorrow. I’ll let you know when it will be aired.

While I’m at the taping tuesday am 3/24/09, my friend Joe Mennonna will be on the View as part of Kevin Bacon’s band.  Without Joe’s being available for an instant recording session I wouldn’t be the fabulous world record holder that I am now ;o).

I want to thank Fran Capo, Joe Mennonna, all my fans, my mom and dad, my sister Lynn, my high school band teacher, Ernie Schefflein, my piano teacher Marcia Slater, my 4th grad teacher….

:o)

Here’s the song:

Adventure Girl – Fran Capo Theme Song 12/12/08 Song #390

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Live it fast
And make it last
Live it bright
And make it light
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Fast talking not afraid of walking
Or ashamed of asking questions
Living life relentlessly and
Open to the power of suggestion

Record breaking motivation concentration
Education passion
Rapid fire rhyming and you
Know that everything is in the timing

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Look alive
Get outside
Learn to climb
Learn to dive
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Inspiration, perspiration,
Guinness book of records domination
Collaboration, exploration
Burning hope for future generations

Fast talking not afraid of walking
Or ashamed of asking questions
Living life relentlessly and
Open to the power of suggestion

Adventure girl
Explore your world
Relentless love
To climb above
Relentless thirst
To be the first
Adventure girl
Explore your world

Persistence, persistence, persistence, persistence, persistence

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album…

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album. I hear so many different influences and styles woven throughout the songs, really keeps it interesting from start to finish!

Dan Z

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Your song was just perfect to start my day…

Mark, your song ‘Freedom (It’s Been  Long Road)’ was just perfect to start my day. I LOVE IT!  Thank you, Thank you.  Blessings to you and much gratitude for your musical gift.

Judy

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy
