254 Curiosity (DSS Live CD) by Mark Shepard About This Song: (lyrics below) This is an old African folktale that I turned into an "olde" Irish song. Here I'm performing it live in front of an audience of 4th graders. Curiosity Song # 254 | 1996 | CD: DrumSongStory Live I woke up one …
Your incredible music never fails to move me. Thank you, Mark.
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, 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.
‘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.
Your music is taking over my life and it’s awesome!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 your music! Love your lyrics!
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.
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.
Brilliant! I LOVE seeing the words to all these beloved songs, thanks!
