Life In Song 1970's, Songs of Interest, Spiritual Songs
Song #4: "No Longer Strangers" was written to commemorate and honor my church youth group leader, Lois Leardi who was heading off to new adventures. One of the hugely influential sparks she lit in my creative life was the book, "Letters To A Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke. In particular I have …
My name is Cecile. I teach kindergarten at OMSD. I had the pleasure of using your song Together We Can Change The World to help my students make a difference in this wonderful world! They love it and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.
Your incredible music never fails to move me. Thank you, Mark.
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!
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 lyrics embody everything we hold sacred and dear as a faith community.
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.
Mark, you really are an amazing songwriter! I Love listening to all your songs and sitting in the creative aura they create!
Hello Mark. I am enjoying your songs so much! I’d love to see you play live somewhere.
‘Let’s Run’ is MY FAVORITE so far.. I LOVE THIS ONE.. great job.. total awesomeness!!! I thank Jana Stanfield for introducing me to your gifts. I am grateful.
Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.
Your music is taking over my life and it’s awesome!
Brilliant! I LOVE seeing the words to all these beloved songs, thanks!
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.
Hi Mark, You write some great songs! I really enjoyed listening to all of them on Spark and Flame. Thank you for all that you do. Keep up the good work! All the best.
Love your music! Love your lyrics!
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.
