A Life In Song

Hi! My name is Mark Shepard and I’m a compulsive singer songwriter.

For the last 30 years I’ve been writing song after song. Songs that the few people who heard them raved about. For a lot of reasons I couldn’t bear to get them out into the world where you might have heard them. Stage fright, fear of criticism, shyness, lack of funds, all kinds of junk.

Then, something hugely significant happened in my life and I was able to rapidly blast past the shyness and self sabotage and make huge strides towards doing what I was born to do…

And no, I didn’t get “religion” and I’m not going to try to convert you to anything :o)

(I learned some powerful tools to run my own mind and emotions which you can check out if you’re interested). Visit ModernJedi.com to Learn About NLP Mind Mastery
As a result, I want to invite You to be among the first to hear my songs…

I’m in the process of uploading my 30 years of out put, almost 400 songs at this point. I am posting one or two per week. They will be indexed by date so you can experience the chronological order and literally see a life unfold as you move through the catalog of songs…

You can also explore them by topic or category. In the mood for a love song? Type in “love song” in the little search thingy in the side bar and boom it will pull up all the love songs I’ve uploaded so far. You can then download them for free. You have my total permission to burn them to CD’s and give them away to your friends. I’d appreciate any help you can give in spreading the music so more folks can hear it.

You can register to be a member for free Become of Life In Song Member (for a limited time) which will give you access to full download privileges.

You can also donate or contribute any financial support you care to, purchase my CD’s as well as stay up to date on my upcoming performances and special events.

I’d really appreciate your help in spreading the word about this project. Please click on any of the social bookmarking links at the bottom of each post so that as many people as possible can know about these songs that have gone so long unheard. :o)

Thanks!

Some reviews & testimonials

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.

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.
