Don't listen to the main stream media. Research. Ask google the opposite viewpoint of your belief. Learn, discern and develop your own critical thinking process. Jen on acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass and vocals.

Jennifer Tiernay's a female Songwriter and Vocalist~plays a little bass, guitar, keyboards and drums. Collaborations with her drummer husband, Ron.
Aloha from Hawaii! Jennifer and Ron Tiernay have performed in bands from Canada to Florida to Colorado and have now made Honolulu their home. Jennifer writes, plays guitar, bass and keyboards. Ron plays drums and also sings. We lived aboard a 46' sailboat where some of these songs were recorded. We now live off the grid in the jungles of the Big Island of Hawaii. THESE SONGS ARE POSTED IN SCRATCH VERSIONS AND NOT IN FINAL MIX STAGE. I'M WORKING ON THAT NOW. Song ideas don't always arrive in perfection. I just haven't had the time or opportunity to transform these songs into their finished version. Being held prisoner by the lack of perfection kept me from posting these in the past. But, here they are in their basic state, raw, bad notes and all. There is some freedom in that, you know? LOL! The gift of music should be shared despite the lack of professionalism or technique. So, I offer these tunes up just the way they are. I'd like to thank the people at SoundClick for providing this awesome place for musicians like me. You've kindly allowed all of us to have a place within your Realm.

Story behind the song
I know we're all brainwashed with an overload of bad news...day in and day out. While I was trying to get ready for work one morning - between finding my shoes and drinking a coffee, checking my e-mail and voicemail - in the background...On the News...a child was crying. A sarcastic chorus tells us to not let it get us down...just turn away.
Lyrics
Got my first cup of coffee and turn on the news Check my e-mail and my voicemail and try and find my shoes There are people killing people on the news Put some bread into the toaster and I get my second cup take a look at my daytimer and put on my makeup Oh the oceans are dying on the news Take a shower, brush my teeth and try to comb my hair Look for something in the closet that I can wear Oh, a child is crying on the news
