199 The Breaking of Silence

This song is about moving past the immediate surfaces of things, to a deeper meaning, to the breaking of silence... It was around this time that I first started writing songs to drums... Here it's a large frame drum... The tricky thing about singing to drums is that depending upon the weather the …

Thoughts About Songwriting

You may have noticed that I haven't posted any new or old songs to my song blog in the past few days. I'm in California for a conference on Information Marketing where I'm hoping to learn more about how to get my music and other "knowledge sets" out into the world. One of my weaknesses as a …

Love your lyrics!

Love your music! Love your lyrics!

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.

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:-)

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.

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album…
