It's about the songs. I'm not so much a singer-songwriter as a songwriter-singer. I do not fit into a genre. The genre fits the song. They range from rock to country ditties, from standard lounge ballads to power pop, from blue-eyed r&b to country rock. I sing almost all the vocals and play almost all the music (mostly on keyboard) but, as I said, it's about the songs.

Lyrics
His Momma's Eyes (The Ballad of Marie-Pierre) She could have put an end to him before he was born The doctor said that’s what she should do But the priest, he said, even still You never have the right to kill No, it wasn’t easy then But now you realize When you look at him You see his mother’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes She could have given in — you know she couldn’t win But she fought for her life, she fought for her son She gave him life, he gave it back to her And now she is his eternal mother No, it wasn’t easy then But now you realize When you look at him You see his mother’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes She changed everything, almost everything She gave up the sugar, she cut out the fat It changed her body and face in shape and size But it never could change her big bright eyes No, it wasn’t easy then But now you realize When you look at him You see his mother’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes She was brave enough to look death in the eye And when it came her time to die She didn’t say goodbye to me She just said nonchalantly “Bonjour, mon cherie” No, it wasn’t easy then But now you realize When you look at him You see his mother’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes He’s got his mama’s eyes
