Marta, would you marry me? Marta, would you marry me-O? I’ve waited long, your face to see Tell me, would you marry me-O? Returned from ‘cross the boundless deep All I have is yours to keep-O If you’d only marry me Marta, would you marry me-O? Wherever I have been Whatever I have seen It was you, my love, Who kept me going on I staggered homeward from the war In tatters, rags, and little more-O I wore the colours of the King Now all I have are songs to sing-O Wherever I have been Whatever I have seen It was you, my love, Who kept me going on My regiment lost in the grind And seven fingers left behind-O But I’d be whole if you’d agree Marta, would you marry me-O? For no matter where I’ve been No matter what I’ve seen It was you, my love, Who kept me going on It was you, my love, Who kept me going on It was you ©2010

Raven Hair 04:28
I have your picture I hold it with care I run my fingers Down your raven hair I'm writing this letter My feelings laid bare ‘Cause all I long for Is your raven hair Raven hair Sweet raven hair Raven hair Sweet raven hair I will enchant you My words like a prayer I’d never harm you Or your raven hair Raven hair Sweet raven hair Raven hair Sweet raven hair Now, we may seem different But we are a pair Cleaved and devoted To your raven hair Your raven hair Your raven hair ©2010

Red Dog 04:00
red dog howlin’ in the sun heard him cry, callin’ for someone mud flats boilin' in the heat nothin’ to drink, not a bite for him to eat and he howled and he howled about to break down heard him moan, hundred yards away saw the bones pokin' through the clay and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled about to break down heard him wail, middle of the night somebody gone, taken from his sight so let him cry, cry with all his might some things will never be made right and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled and he howled about to break down ©2010

stella maris night bloom indelible infinite throne wondrous fractal impenetrable intricate tone scepter of ibis obsequious sacred unknown spectral horizon inexorable tides flowing home startling ellipses illuminating fool’s contraband captive pernicious duplicitous burdensome man merciful mistral extinguishing meaningless stand stilling encounter unbroken soul tilling the sand ©2010

Life is what you do and what is done to you what is done for you You are what you make of things that you've been through don't let it make you blue You've got to move on Your way of thinking is bringing you down Don't let it stop you or turn you around Let out what's troubling you Then leave it behind and just push on through No matter the past and no matter the pain, The disappointments, the guilt, and the blame, Just let it go somehow It's your life so try to live it right now. Think of what you do and what is done to you what is done for you Think of what you make of things that you've been through and what that does to you You've got to move on Your way of thinking is bringing you down Don't let it stop you or turn you around Let out what's troubling you Then leave it behind and just push on through No matter the past and no matter the pain, The disappointments, the guilt, and the blame, Just let it go somehow It's your life so try to live it right now. Time is passing through and it will pass you too so now, what will you do? You've got to move on ©2007-2008

about

"stella maris e.p." is a fascinating eclectic mix of styles; austere acoustic settings, rich harmony vocal arrangements, and electronic sounds and rhythms. Its five songs create spaces both intimate and universal, full of longing, hope, and determination.

More than an album of styles, this is an album of songs -- a sequence of unique conceptions exemplifying the songwriter's art. Each song is true to its original voice, conveying emotional honesty in its span.

The purpose of these songs is not merely to entertain, but to engage in unguarded conversation, to express an individual perspective, and to share an experience of life. It is not sonic wallpaper for the background, but music that rewards your close attention. Listen, think, and feel.
