The picture you see, is me and the love of my life for 33 years. We have weathered just about every kind of storm you can imagine, and are still together. :) Hasn't every marriage gone through this?

Welcome! I am a singer/songwriter of different styles of Christian and Country Music....Enjoy the message I bring, and may your heart be ministered to.
Hello! I'm very glad you stopped in to listen and visit. :) The message I carry is simply this...Jesus loves you and I do too. Hope you enjoy what you hear, and get a blessing from the music, as God does not give His people gifts to just set them upon the shelf, and never be used. I'm only as good as the Lord helps me to be, and I'm thankful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I'm NOT perfect, never claimed to be; but on the other hand, I have a message to minister in song, and I do that to the best of my ability. I fully realize there are many songs I demo here that don't fit my style/voice, but I can't run out and get a singer that fits everytime I write a song. :) What I write or cover comes from the heart. I've endured many hard trials in my life, and each one has, in one way or the other made its way into a song that others can relate to. All of my songs except for noted exceptions are free downloads. I'm not a professional by any means, nor am I interested in becoming one; and so the music is given away just as freely as the message was given to me.

Story behind the song
Performed with permission; composed by David Lunbeck and Tammy Swindell I always liked this song since David and I worked on it around 4 years ago. I hope I have brought my own particular flair to this song; NOT to make it "better" but to make it my "own". Every marriage has it's troubles, problems, but if the couple chooses to stick together throughout the good, the bad, the ugly, and even the worst that life has a tendency to throw at them; I firmly believe the marriage will bond together for a lifetime. Might as well keep what you have; you could do a whole lot worse than you once had, and you don't know what you really have until it's long gone. Enjoy the listen. :)
Lyrics
She is the reason D A She always talks about how hard life is Bm Bm A G /A/D And how people just let you down D A She always talks about having her dreams Bm Bm A G Come crashing to the ground A G D/G She hangs her head in resignation A G A/D And wishes for some kind of salvation D A I always talk about moving away Bm Bm/ A/ G /A/D And starting over somewhere else D D A And I always talk about about great big schemes BM A G As if I am living on a little shelf A A G/D/G I always talk like life has passed me by A G/A/D She says it’s not true not this time Chorus : D Bm Gbm Maybe it’s my fault for making her feel G A Like the bars on my cage D Bm Maybe it’s my fault Bm Gbm For making it seem G A That I don’t want her to stay G D/D7/Em She is not my prison Em D7/ G A/D/G/D She is the reason, the reason that I pray We used to talk about the future As if we would last forever We used to talk late into the night And tell each other undercover Even if they say it’s a crime We will not pass we will survive So what became of us Lovers in june Now there’s a cool loneliness that fills the room Can we still be like this Can’t you see baby You’re the one is miss She hangs her head in resignation And wishes for some kind of salvation

Well, it sounds like losing your thyroid hasn't hurt your voice a bit, Tammy. You know that for years I told you your upper register was your vocal strength - and the high harmonies here are a nice blend with your lead vocals. I love David - he knows this - but I could never attempt a cover of his unusual time signatures and rhythmic devices. You knocked it out, though, good job with some pretty tough melodic twists. Hope you are feeling better these days. Thanks for the nice long update on my SC page. Sorry I am late to answer, I rarely go to SC anymore, and I think my music days are done. But thanks for the great encouraging words just the same.

Hi Tammy, Wonderful rendition of Davids song. You already know this is one of my favorite songs by any artist. So simple and so beautiful with a very powerful message. An instant hook you song on the 1st listen. You have done this song justice and brought your own wonderful vocals to it. And glad to hear you singing so well after your surgery
