The song FADE AWAY was inspired by my Mother-in-Law Sylvia Braden.
She taught me the true meaning and beauty of living in the moment, and what it means to give and receive love unconditionally.


FADE AWAY received Best Singer Songwriter Song in 2019 New Mexico Music Awards, and Best Folk Songwriter and Best Folk Artist in the 2020 Indie Music Channel Awards.

FADE AWAY (c) 2018

I got nothing left to talk about
And I got nothing left to say
No matter how hard I try
The words they slip away

I got nothing left to do
But I can’t keep still
Not sure what’s false or true
And I probably never will

But I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometimes
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a flower opening on the vine

But I get lost in the clouds
Voices in the air
Everyone talking so damn loud
That I fly and I disappear

But I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometimes
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a weeping willow along the Rhine

And when I fade away
I want to be a sweet mystery
When I fade away
I want to be like the sea
Turning green and blue and gray
When I fade away

And I can’t recall where I am
Or remember your name
I love you all just the same
I’m just waiting here for the rain

I just want to be so beautiful
I just want to be on your mind sometime
I just want to be so precious to you
Like a pink and white valentine

When I fade away
I want to be a sweet mystery
When I fade away hey, I want to be like the tree
Turning green and red and grey

When I fade away
When I fade away
When I fade away
