Songs We All Can (or Should) Understand

I gave myself the nickname "Phoenix," after a comforting industry man from Phoenix talked with me late night on the phone. He helped me instill the me in my dreams.  

 With that, here are Themes of Empowerment--the Phoenix Rising From the Ashes, and that we can comfort one another.


BACKBONE Emily Hurd 
Turning one's weakness into a strength as she recovers from an abusive situation. Americana similar to Alison Krauss' music.


WEEPING WILLOW Rebecca Loebe
Waltz tempo with acoustic guitar and other gentle instruments supporting comforting voice supporting a friend suffering from abuse by her man.



WORRIED MAN BLUES Elliott Murphy
It takes a worried man to sing a worried blues. Sounds like Tom Waits, Sylvester the Cat, and a howling dog.



CHECKING OUT  by Allan Holdsworth Scatty vocal jazz with guitar, bass, drums.  
The collapse one feels from wearing his heart on his sleeve. Relaxed and loose vocals from a British tenor named Paul Williams who sounds like Jack Bruce.1982 release from Allan’s 5-star I.O.U. album.


BORN BEAUTIFUL Jon Mullane  Upbeat pop song like something by Maroon 5, with an important message for anyone with low esteem. The song is partnered with a variety of Mental Health associations, and has won a number of video awards including the Music California Video Awards and International Music and Entertainment Award (IMEA).
