Keys To Your Cage (Behind The Scenes Video) #523

December 15, 2016 · Empowerment Songs, Freedom Songs, inspirational songs, Life In Song 2010's, Personal Mastery Music, Songs of Transformation, Transformation Tunes, Videos

I got so inspired by the live video my son Andrew’s video crew captured on November 19th at my big Concert with the Rogue Mystics that I had to start experimenting with a little bit more creative video stuff on my own.

As part of the Life In Song Project it is my ongoing goal to get my butt into the studio as much as possible and record my songs in order to…

  • Preserve them in solo acoustic format and
  •  “Produce” them with the collaborative Genius of Joe Mennonna and Gene Moore and the members of the Rogue Mystics in order to fully “realize” the full potential of each song…
  • Capture all of my 500 plus songs on video so that the guitar parts and fingerings are easily “learnable”….

So that’s what this video is the first of… More coming soon. Please “Like” this and share it on Facebook or wherever and click over to YouTube to subscribe to my channel ok? That helps a ton. Thanks! – Mark

p.s. TRIVIA alert: the big painting in the background of the videos at Joes is one I did WAAAAY back in the 1990’s that I gave to Joe and Lucy for their wedding.

p.p.s. BTW I will be raising the basic price of my audio downloads on Bandcamp.com to $1.29-$2.00 each very, very soon. For the moment you can still download ALL of them for free just go to http://MarkShepard.Bandcamp.com and put “0.00” in the price box and grab these tunes now (of course you can pay more if you want and that is ALWAYS appreciated but more than anything I need you to really listen to these songs and get them into your life where they can do some damn good! Whew. done. and of course if you are reading this later, the prices may have already gone up.

I love youse guys. Thanks for being there for me. Deep appreciation for you zoooooming to you right now!

BOOOOOM! outa here!

Some reviews & testimonials

Just awesome…

Your music is taking over my life and it’s awesome!

Eric

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:-)

Gene Moore

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.

Your song was just perfect to start my day…

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
