Would love to hear a sample of your singing.

My name is David Murray, and I’m a lyrical writer with a surprising number of country songs in my catalog, especially for a guy that’s never been on a horse! Below, please find my posting:

309 songs in catalog, (not all country) or I’ll write just for you! Strong rhyme schemes, tight, poignant, adventure topics. I’m a freak about lyrical rhyme cadence. (Genres: Country, Folk/Roots, Celtic, Christian, Rock) Favs: Prine, T.T. Hall, Cohen, Lennon/McCartney, Taupin. I’m a serious, responsive writer… and I hope you’ll think that I do it well. Support background: I’m a semi-retired marketing executive, served on the faculty at the RI School of Design, published 3 children’s books and played in the RI Highlanders Pipe & Drum Band. Easy to work with, rapid response and fun! Compensation is not a driving factor, split 50/50 if revenue streams. Member BMI and Songwriters Guild of America. Remember, it costs nothing to chat!

Hope to hear from you Ray,
David

The following is a sample of one of my lyrics. "Black Wall of Sleep" (verse) I've been driving down this highway/ Through the dead of night/ Out on this trip alone/ No lady by my side. (verse) Windshield wipers moving/ Just like a metronome/ Too long; too far away/ Miles away from home. (chorus 1) I wonder if she is there/ Like a serpent hours creep/ Lying on her bed/ Behind the black wall of sleep. (verse) I've been driving down this highway/ Through the dead of night/ Sounds from my radio/ On sad wings of time. (verse) Note by note remembrance/ Let the sadness play/ Engrave them all on stone/ Songs from yesterday. (chorus 2) I wonder if she is there/ Like a serpent hours creep/ Eyes closed to the nightworld/ Behind the black wall of sleep. (coda) I've been driving down this highway/ Through the dead of night/ Headlights burning like a flame/ Through the night I ride.
