Dare To Be (LTD CD) #359

359 Dare To Be (LTD CD) by Mark Shepard About This Song (lyrics Below) This is the first song I ever wrote for the then 11 year old Rilee O'Neill. It was kind of a test really. Bill Rodman, her godfather, wanted to see what would happen if I wrote a song for her. So I wrote it. She came …

361 Lucky (Rilee O’Neil Version)

Here's the Rilee O'Neil version of one of my favorite songs to get stuck in my head... "Program" yourself for luck! Ask yourself, "Why IS it EASY today?" as well as my classic, trademark, grooviness chant: "Why does it work out better than I can possibly imagine?" Please click the arrow to …

Move, Move, Move! (Rilee O’Neil Version)

Yesterday I shared my "raw acoustic demo" version of this song. Today I want to share what Joe Mennonna did with my "bare bones arrangement" He added keyboards, saxes, drums, bass and god knows what else... Rilee then came in and sang the vocals... Some people like the bigger arrangements, …

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.

Never fails to move me…

Your incredible music never fails to move me. Thank you, Mark.

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.

I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

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:-)
