Today's Video Share: "Dueños del Terror" by Florencia Andrada

"I wrote this song during the 2020 strict quarantine. It’s called ‘Dueños del Terror’or ‘Owners of Terror.” Here in Buenos Aires some of the richest people started to complain about the restrictions. The song talks about how even in the darkest times some people are unable to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, to have some empathy. Teachers, doctors, the homeless, the people that live in the poorest neighborhoods where the most affected as always but the ones complaining were the rich ones, that always blame the poorest for all the problems in the world while they continue stacking their millions.

“I’m a little bit angry and disappointed as I sing the song,” she adds. “It’s a very special song for me because it’s the last one I recorded with my dearest friend and sound engineer Ariel Feder who died in April 2021 due to Covid-19, so this adds an additional meaning to the song.”

Today's Video Share: "Perfect for Me" (Mother's Day Song) by Kristine Cox

Music has always been a big part of my life. I was trained classically, performed lead roles in many operas while in college, then went on to become a vocal coach, a music director and play leading roles in musical theater. 5 years ago, I began writing more music. My music has been described as inspirational with classic vocals and a bit of a spiritual vibe.

I wrote this song because we often compare our worst to everyone else at their best. The truth is, there is no such thing as the perfect woman or the perfect mother, so perhaps we need to change our perspective.

I hope that this song will help us to celebrate womanhood and motherhood in a different way. I want women everywhere to understand that, while we are not perfect, we are perfectly suited to influence those who are placed in our path! God knows what He is doing. We are the mother, step-mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, neighbor, teacher and/or friend that we are for a reason! Women have an amazing, innate gift to lead, lift, nurture and love those around them. And that, my dear friends, is something to celebrate!

Today's Video Share: "Love Him Forever" by Deanne Matley

Perfect for Mother's Day Celebration!

Love Him Forever, an original was inspired by Deanne’s experiences as an in-demand wedding performer and her realization that there are plenty of songs to choose from when it comes to Father-Daughter dances, but few that highlight the special relationship between Mother and Son.

This emotional piece, co-written with Jon Day, is broken down into three elements – a mother’s internal conversation with her soon to be daughter-in-law, her self-reflection on how much her son means to her, and finally, a conversation with her son to remind him of all the things she has taught him about the meaning of love.
The perfect mother-son dance song! One that has now been played and performed at multiple weddings worldwide, each time bringing the room to tears.

Canadian vocalist Deanne Matley has many superpowers. Trained as a jazz vocalist, she brings a sensual style, a stunning emotional range, and a deep connection with her audience to everything she sings. She’s made a name for herself across Canada and beyond with her dynamic, knock ‘em dead performances with combos of all sizes and singles and albums ranging from standards to pop to Christmas favourites.

Today's Video Share: "Revelation Ground" by Rachael Sage

"Revelation Ground" marks a turning point in Sage's songwriting and production, merging her lifelong reverence for '60's-era folk – a la Leonard Cohen, Pete Seeger and Simon & Garfunkel – with a weathered, hard-won perspective on the sacredness of time itself. Amidst the landscape of the pandemic, racial protest, the loss of far too many loved ones and her own cancer experience, Sage distills bright hope and beauty from perhaps her most universal lyrics yet. With a hum-along melody that sounds like it has existed forever, her voice achieves an intimate poignancy underscored by longtime collaborator Dave Eggar's rhapsodic cello playing. The video was created by Antje Duvekot, who has a 2-decade long career as both a touring singer-songwriter and animator, and who has garnered critical acclaim from the animated videos she recently made for Toad The Wet Sprocket, Dar Williams, Eliot Bronson & Lori McKenna, and Eliza Gilkyson.

Today's Video Share: "Take My Hand Love" by Kathy Bogle

“I sang relentlessly as a child, then learned guitar at 14. I played out quite a bit in middle life, but now I'm retired and spend a good deal of my time working on music.

This is the last song on my CD. It's one of my favorites, mainly because of Christy Peterson's wonderful piano playing. This song took a long time to write because it kept changing, but I knew when it was done. The video expresses what I think the song is about...it's about all those who provide support in our times of need.”

Today's Video Share: "Wintergrass" by Kathy Bogle

I sang relentlessly as a child, then learned guitar at 14. I played out quite a bit in middle life, but now I'm retired and spend a good deal of my time working on music. This song was written in early empty-nest-ship; my youngest, who had recently left home, hated it. As we all become more divided, this song has taken on an even more poignant meaning for me. I hope you find meaning in it...or rather, I truly hope that it means absolutely nothing to you because you've never had this experience!
