I am a singer-songwriter, play the guitar and also enough of the keyboards to get into trouble. I produce my own demo recordings in my home out of necessity, but I also love the producing. I write both music and lyrics but enjoy working with other lyricists just to keep a fresh approach, and it's fun.
I enjoy very little of anything but when I like something I love it. I like all styles with a melody. I love Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" or maybe even "The Impossible Dream" and things such as that. In the modern day I love many Lennon-McCartney compositions, Burt Bacharach, Mancini, and for movie soundtracks I love John Barry. I like the Christian music of Mercy Me. But just about anything if it has great melody. I love some rock, some country, some classical, I even love doing commercial ditties. I love writing for theatre and have co-written musicals. But really, just about anything.
A song I wrote and performed as a born-again Christian in 2001. It is the feeling that once life is at its closing end and you've given everything you've got, you are telling the Lord you are ready for judgment and for Him to show you the way to heaven... "With Your wings"... being His wings that He gives you. This was a simple one take guitar-vocal, then I added the background vocals and several years later I added the bass. That is all there is to this song's production. I really wouldn't change a thing.

Words and music, production and performance by me from a few years ago. A friend has a child that has autism and it made me wonder about the world of the autistic child. I did some research and it started to amaze me the more I got into the core of this problem. I wrote this song from the perspective of the child and he/she placing rules on how they will or will not interact with someone. It is their world and their rules.

This was written, produced and performed by me. It is just a simple love song of two people arguing and pleading to make up. This stands out to me as maybe the most simplistic of lyrics I can write... but I am not sure it needs anything more than that? Does that make sense? The demo soundtrack I loved doing with the horns section jabbing similar to mid 60s R&B. It would have been really cool to have a singer imitating a 'Sam and Dave' style but we are stuck with me. LOL

A song about this guy that married this HORRIBLE woman, but no matter how atrocious she is, he is just crazy about her. For this reason she can just keep him wrapped around her little finger and cause him turmoil and there is nothing he can do about it because he is so crazy about her. A true lighthearted song that maybe is "too far out there" for this politically correct world. But Hank Jr could have done it and of course Bobby Bare in his prime would have been perfect for this one.

A man totally blind to why his girl left him, but is still devastated in his ignorance and lost love. He feels scorned in his community, but this pain is nothing in comparison to his loss. I wrote, produced and performed the song using my home studio. (Robert Lloyd)

About an old old man that loses his wife and inherits the family dog. They have to start over in life, just the two of them. I wrote, produced and performed the song, so if there is something you don't like about the song, I'm to blame.

I wanted to write a song for my baby granddaughter and after a few songs that were Ok, this one came along. I would rewrite a bit of the lyrics should an artist want to cut the song as a few words or a line or two could be changed. It could be for a male or female singer or group. Pop or country. I played all parts of this production and felt I sang the song pretty much the way I felt it should be.
