I wrote this song when I was 19! I was influenced at the time by Sheryl Crow - It was a fun one that has always been close to my heart. As a kid I loved the circus - and loved the idea of having a carousel in my backyard!! Would still like to re-record this song someday and find someone to sing it. And I still don't have hippy long hair!!

My lyric called for a slow blues number but my writing partner decided to go in a pop direction and wrote a slow dreamy ballad instead. I am quite fond of the tune and will tweak the lyrics some more to match the overall feel. The proper recording of the song will probably change a few things that you hear on the demo.

This phrase was in my idea book for a while. I finally found a style that I liked to put the words to.

This is a cowrite with my friend, Rachel Barrentine. For a while partnered with The Academy of Dreamers and Child Fund International to raise sponsorship for kids in 3rd world countries. This was the song I would use for the pitch.

I was going through a divorce and a friend was reminding me how God has a way of 'using it all,' somehow. I had all the whole song concept and idea EXCEPT a title, and our conversation brought the whole thing together with the title.

Jazz infused R&B. Warm & tender ... maybe my best set of lyrics.

I was listening to the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby", channeled my inner Brian Wilson, and came up with this tune.
