WE BROKE THE SPELL demo 5 (AI fem vox 1)
BUZZING IN MADAME BOVARY.live demo
BITTERSWEET REMEMBRANCE radio edit
This song has many parents, including my own, who always wanted to hear it. But I wrote it when I was 14 and have long wanted to upgrade the lyric. Another successful collaboration with my younger self!
I'VE DONE ALL I CAN radio edit
A song inspired in my New York years by the struggles of cabaret folk I knew, trying to make a dent in show biz with little but their own wits to sustain them.
LIFEBLOOD radio edit
Our translation of an Aldo Lo Faro love song, LINFA. You can hear the original here: https://youtu.be/8r0sBhCi2MU?si=gcYrwD1ACbu_qOMk
BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US radio edit
Official all-English version with background vocals (SanremoSenior doesn't allow background vocals on submissions!)
HOW YOUR STORY ENDS.live demo
A song about a memorable moment in my life that took place in front of a package store somewhere in New England, late summer 1993.
A BETTER WAY radio edit
LIVE WITHOUT YOU radio edit
An upbeat, danceable, take-me-back apology song
QUARTER TURN AWAY radio edit
QUARTER TURN house remix
Paul told me he had some ideas that might require a radical departure from the original. I told him to do whatever he was envisioning. I knew it would be amazing, and it is!
BREAK MY HEART radio edit
My team thought this could work with more of a rock feel and a slightly lower key. I love it. This is the version that won MENZIONE SPEZIALE at SanremoSenior 2022.
WE BROKE THE SPELL.live demo
About those moments when you suddenly realize you've been living in a dream
SATURDAY NIGHT EAR CANDY
My EuroTrance 126 confection built to conjure Saturday evening, when you didnt have to get up early and can sleep in tomorrow also.
RISE UP live demo
The very first pop song I wrote, at age twelve, revisited at age 66.
Will It Be the Same? V.power ballad 72 live demo
I wrote this song in 1972 after we moved from Denver to L.A. I was imagining what it might be like to revisit my Denver friends. A few lyric changes fifty years later and I think it’s more universal.
