My cover of All I have to do is dream. This was Richard’s choice for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo.com. This is a classic song by The Everly Brothers, released in 1958. Written by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, it became a huge hit, reaching No. 1 on the U.S. pop, country, and R&B charts — a rare achievement.

The song expresses longing and love: the singer only has to dream to be with the one he desires. It remains one of their most iconic and enduring songs, blending early rock ’n’ roll with country-pop. (more…)

I created Fly Today for the Song Writing Challenge on Singeo.com of September 2025. The challenge was to explore the full range of the voice.
“Fly Today” tells the story of a small bird facing the harshness of life — crashing into invisible walls, struggling through winter hunger, and fearing predators all around. In his dreams he discovers freedom, and finally learns that he must live with the same courage in the daylight. A song about worry, resilience, and the choice to fly despite fear. (more…)

The Song Is You (Joe’s choice for the WSC) is a timeless classic, originally written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1932 musical Music in the Air. The song beautifully captures how someone you love can become the music that lives inside you — a melody you carry with you. I was inspired by the version Doris Day recorded in 1956, and I really enjoyed making my own interpretation of it. (more…)

Give me one reason (Tracy Chapman). This was Terri’ choice for the WSC on Singeo. Give Me One Reason is a blues-rock song by Tracy Chapman, released in 1995 on her album New Beginning. The song tells the story of someone ready to walk away from a relationship, asking for just one reason to stay. With its repetitive structure and soulful guitar riff, the song captures emotional strength and vulnerability. It became Chapman’s biggest hit in the U.S. and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1997. (more…)
