There is a play all songs choice (random play) at the bottom of the search page or you can go right to the play list (alphabetical play).

Use keywords on the search page of the website to narrow your search. Keywords are:
-rock, country, folk, for genre- songs may fall in more than 1 category
-mellow or uptempo, for a songs basic "feel" (denoting sound not necessarily the lyrical content)
-relationship, topical, musing, for a basic sense of the lyrical content

The songs are recorded in different forms:
1. Full demos from Target Studio, there are only a few of these at this time. Type fulldemo as one word, in keywords, to get to these.
2. Guitar and vocal demos from Target Studio, these are straight singing and playing, mostly one take.
3. Mini home studio demos, speak for themselves
4. Recordings from the collection Chords Melody Words (Merely Players) which are mostly straight guitar and vocal.

The songs are written from observing people and situations. They are written from personal experience, from professional experience (human services with children in foster care and group homes and adults with mental illness), and some are written with a character narrating the song which allows for a different point of view than the songwriter may have.

New songs will be added at unfixed intervals. Vote in the comments section for the song or songs you would like to hear as a full demo. All songs are copyrighted by Paul McLaughlin
FEATURED SONG:
Full demo from Target Studio; mellow, jazz sound; romantic notions, maybe the r should be capitalized.
