Michael Manning
I have been a singer/songwriter/musician for over 40 years. I have written many songs, but most of them (sadly) are on cassette tape. My 5 digital songs on this
All My Life All My Life
Love song to life, a loved one, or God. Original pop ballad. I wrote the song, play electronic keyboard, bass, strings, and do the vocal.
Pogo Stick Rag Pogo Stick Rag
Catchy, toe tapping, pop number with a spiritual theme -- keyboard, bass, drums, and lead vocal by me; guitar and back-up vocals by Bruce Wozny.
Ballad of the Forgotten Soul Ballad of the Forgotten Soul
A pop-rock song with a dramatic warning about the oblivion we can all sink into when we take our minds and hearts off of giving & receiving love. Lead vocal & electric instruments played by myself; superb guitar & back-up vocals by Bruce Wozny.
Only HU Only HU
If this were a commercial song, I would call it "Only You." It is a pop ballad that stresses the importance of the word "HU" (pronounced "hue") -- an ancient love song to God that anyone can use anytime to gain insight, protection, or joy.
Baraka Bashad Baraka Bashad
The words "Baraka Bashad" are from the ancient Pali language and simply mean "May The Blessings Be!" I wrote & arranged this song with a light, Caribbean feel to it. Bruce Wozny plays guitar & sings back-up; I do the lead vocal & other instruments.
