Here are a just smidgeon of samples or quotes if you will, told to me over the years.
They come from words of many different folks who have an opportunity to hear one song or another that are contained within an album or CD Shane O'Brien and his friends O'Briens Edge have created in the last 12 years.
"Shane, you need to share these songs". "Shane, don't you know how different songs affect different people in your life". "Shane, Look at this cover of the news paper I've saved for ten years, you're song brought me right back there, That's my son". "Shane, I have asked enough people about where to find you, here you are, please come with me, I need to show you where my best friend got shot...". "Shane, that's my Mom...". "Shane, your mistakes are what the magic's all about".
It goes on and on too. I mean on and on... for years and years... The intention in sharing this in the "story behind the song" is NOT to stroke ones self. It is to respectfully recognize the people who have gone out of their way to find me and share the pertinent story of their lives and what a song I created did to remind them of an important life long lasting event. It is to say hello to these folks should they ever see this description and it is to say I appreciate them all sharing very important stories to me. All in all the encouragements did perpetuate more of the same for each track created and shared. The cycle hasn't stopped either.
That is amazing to me. This song does that to me. It takes me to a place I've lived which are these days...

ONE VOICE FOR ALL
By: Shane B OBrien


Open your eyes now, see the light ya
Look Around now, exposed by the light ya
Turn Around now, see the world now
Turn Around now, and take the fight ya


You see the voice of one babe
Is the voice of many
Sometimes it has to be told now
It has to be told ya
You see the word of one now
Is the word of us all ya


Hum, hum, look ahead ya
To each and every, of your friends ya
That you turned away
Hum, hum, it ain't right now
For you to keep it to yourself now, now
And to your little ones man
its their right to have a little coming their way


Hum, hum, ya, ya
Come on down here man
Lets get involved right here
Ya, Ya. Oh, ya


Turn around now, ya
Don't turn away ya
Each and every of your days ya
Look ahead the right way
See the light now
Let it shine in your face babe
Look around now
Its just your fate ya


Hum, hum
Your hearin' one man
You hear us all
