    Share It All

    Girl with a Hawk

    Share It All is a hopeful, inspiring tune, with a clarion call to look after each other, take care of each other, with an understanding that we all deserve to be cared for and looked after - especially those who are vulnerable and need our support. A great song for any film, television show, commercial. etc. that has themes of our common humanity, homelessness, oppression, the disenfranchised, etc. It is also a song about a person awakening to the world around them, and how that can lead to social action, and the desire to make the world a better place.

    Beautiful Today

    Girl with a Hawk

    A timeless romantic ballad, with country and jazz stylings, but updated, a la Mazzy Star or Lana Del Ray. There are some David Lynch musical references as well. This is perfect song for any visual scenario involving loving an unavailable person, slow dancing, longing, loving from afar, or letting go. Experiencing memories of love, gazing across a room, watching a former, or present, lover talk or go about their lives, and knowing things may never work out between you, yet the time you shared together, was beautiful and meaningful.
