A song I wrote for the LiveVideo Community!

based loosely on a true story
(and I mean LOOSELY)

..just a little ditty for livevideo..LOL
..and yes, LYRICS posted in my BLOG..
that if you just want to sing along...LOL

It was a song I wrote last year and posted last year too here in LV but I was not using WMM then, so rerecorded it and made a music vid using WMM, not too fancy but I just thought I had been making music   more...vids that were covers so while not my own music, ...hope you guys will like it..THANKS!!  less

Music I have written for my hometown, Caerphilly Castle built 1268 by Gilbert de Clare

an Original by James Michael Harris and Blake Temple. Sang at a private party during the holidays. The lighting wasn't perfect, so forgive any bad quality; we just had to record this one!

this is a song I wrote called "Life...". It is basically what it says it is in that it's about life in general. I was sitting here one day annoyed at the cable bill or something and this song   more...just came to me. Sometimes we just want to scream and that's okay. As the song goes..."Let it Out, it's only better when you scream out loud. Just fall down to your knees my friend...you'll feel better in the end." Anyway...i do want to apologize for some of the background noise. At one point you can hear my dogs barking outside. I guess you could say it adds character or something. Oh well...enjoy!!!  less

I wrote this new song because of a cool dream i had!...I hope you will have that time to listen to it again! thanks! Lyrics is here: Floating and whirling 'round this odd and distant space, Swimming above   more...the gravity of earth in place REF: Round and round and round and round and round it goes (repeat) Seeing this twinkling lights explode kaliedoscope, Fireflies in millions swarm on me I freely float REPEAT REFRAIN But then it made me stir and mine eyes open wide, Oh God now im awake and see its just a dream REPEAT REFRAIN, Refrain2: And then round and round and round and round I go!  less

You guys already know that I consider it a gift to express myself in this way...and to have a connection with you guys in return. You have heard me go on about this whole means of communication being   more...a creative outlet, one which hasn't been this inspiring in years for me. You know I look for the higher meaning in every feeling I become inspired to express. In one way, or another, I have communicated these thoughts to you. You know I am eternally thankful and grateful to you guys. However, there is one area I didn't see coming. I wasn't prepared in anyway for this unexpected blessing (you know that some of the best things in life are the unexpected. For the thing I am attempting to explain to you...I can never repay you for (Sheesh! I am almost getting misty in the eyes just thinking about this). I am soooo moved by how you people have embraced my daughter's efforts to participate in this thing I am referring to as my "creative expression." I just accidentally ran her across my camera...and hence, this computer screen only to have you, my circle of friends, embrace her with love and support. Trust me...she hears and receives every one of your constructive, or complementary comments. It was these comments that pulled her towards buying in on the her road to creative expressiveness. Not only that...some of you have adopted Missy as part of the community and have helped protected her from any negative, or otherwise harmful people / factors that go hand in hand with the web. As a result, Missy looks forward to choreographing her own moves for her daddy's songs. I can't tell you how full my heart is to know that. I can't tell you of the joy I have from seeing her excitement to dance and perform (for Live Video). I can see that this expressive time she and I share will fast become a tradition / legacy of ours. This quality time we have in our productions would not exsist if you guys weren't there for us to upload it for. It's late right now...and I can't seem to say everything that needs to be said right now, but just know; you guys are just a bunch of great people; people that I choose to surround my family and me with. You are our family as well. This song is our way of saying thanks! Please know that we thank all of you and love you very much!

Once upon a time, there was a mechanical village ice rink...

Tracy is one of my best friends ever. She has been a part of my family and has been there for everything including: wedding (to Lynn), baby dedication (Missy), both my Mom's and my sister's home going   more...(going home). After almost two decades of her being a sister~like one to me...I had just found out that she has studied dance in her doings. This video is the result of me recycling one of my old originals and fusing it with Tracy's dance interpretation. It is entitled, "Tracy's Hope because Tracy is such an invisionary; she is doing so much in the way of working with young people. Needless to say, Tracy will be working with me in future productions (particularly on my original producions while Missy will be assinged to any and all cover tunes). It is wonderful to work with a great friend and adopted sister such as Tracy.

This is a statement from her website followed by a snipet of her bio. The information to her site is contained in the side bar as well.

"My passion is to bring awareness to basic living principles that bring enrichment to life and are often overlooked. It is my hope that all of us have the option to live a qualitative lifestyle with enjoyment, fullness and an appreciation for life!" Tracy Boyd

I think this is illegal in some states.

On this day...I took a walk down through the downtown area of my old neighborhood. It was the annual Martin Luther King march, which had a great turn out. There were different people walking for different   more...reasons; some political (presidential electional / promotional), others were there to promote their causes. One thing is for sure, there were no differences between all of those walking....and even those looking on. It was no longer them, they, or us. On that day, "It Was We." Set to original music courtesy of the Mello Mel Music Group.  less

This song is dedicated to a special friend who has had a fight with cancer.
If the life and/or light in the person is uplifting and/or celebratory, wouldn't the musical description of that essence be corespondingly   more...celebratory in an up tempo kinda way, as a kind of musical/poetic impramateur? The visuals and music in this video alludes not to tragedy, but to life, influence, strength warmth and benificence.
Enjoy my friends.  less

Got Happy? It is an amazing thing to be happy. But how do you know if your happiness is true? True happiness , as with love, is realized once you can let go of the thing that is the source of your   more...hapiness. If the object of your happiness returns to you, you can experience true joy in knowing that it was meant for you to have this thing that brought about happiness. For two days...I was without my music as my equipment (which is used to process ) was acting up. I was out of my regular sort (didn't know how to act). In that short time...after praying for a miracle (to put it lightly), I began to migrate towards other activities (which was not easy at all). But when I chose to let the music go free for that time...it miraculously came back to me (in the way of my equipment being healed....THANK GOD!!! ;) Hey...I just know that my stuff was working after almost being brought to tears about not having it to produce music. I then realized how "happy" I was to be back in the flow, back in my element, back to doing the thing that brings me passion ~ doing my music. This song is actually what came to my mind during this time. It was intended to be a "happy" song, but for you, let it bring you to happy times in your life (both in times past, as well as the happy times to come). Let this song serve as a reminder that being happy is a choice...a choice that needs to be chosen regardless of if you are dealing with things either within, or beyond your control. Being happy is within your control; choose it freely and wait for it to freely come back to you. It can become the strength you never knew you had....this is another show! We shall talk later! Take care and enjoy my friends. Mel :)  less
