As I said earlier, I have been writing original songs for years. Below are a sample of my songs. I also write songs for people getting married, having babies, or for whatever! Fill out the Contact form on my Home page for more information.
Wedding Songs
One of my favorite song-writing opportunities is to write a song to be sung for a bride and groom on their wedding day. Here is the last such song I wrote, I Only Know I Love You, and you can click here to see the first page of the sheet music.
Lullabies
For years, I've been writing lullabies for the new babies of my friends and I also sell custom lullabies through Lullaby Dreams. I wrote Sleep 'Til The New Sunrise for Na'ama, the daughter of my friend, Tanya.
Christmas Songs
I wrote What If Santa Sleeps Through Christmas back in 2007. I wanted to write a fun/funny Christmas song and started thinking about scenarios that might work. The idea of Santa sleeping through - and missing! - Christmas came to mind and I thought about how a little kid would react to this. A few hours later, the song was completed. Naturally, when I recorded it, I had to sing it as a little kid ... thus, my alter ego, "Little Mikey," was born.
Funny Songs
There is a wonderful list of funny song titles that has been floating around for decades. I've always thought that Never Hit Your Grandma With A Shovel ('cause it leaves a bad impression on her mind) is one of the funniest titles on that list. A few years ago, I wrote a song to fit the title.
Love Songs
I wrote The Moment after observing a young woman in a cafe. She was nervously watching the door and looking at her watch, obviously waiting for someone to arrive. Suddenly, a young soldier appeared in the doorway. She jumped up and ran into his arms, to the delighted applause of all in the cafe. The first words to what became this song popped into my head right then. I rushed home, sat down at the piano and, in about 20 minutes, The Moment was written.
Protest Songs
As I've said elsewhere here, I lived in Israel for 11 years, working all across the country as well as in the West Bank. Israel is constantly under threat of terror attacks and, even though its current government (in Spring 2023) is radically right-wing and is hurting Israeli democracy, the people of Israel are very much still pro-democracy (hence the massive protests against Prime Minister Netanyahu's anti-democratic judicial "reforms") and they are not overtly anti-Palestinian. Of course, Israelis are angry at the continued terror attacks, and attempted attacks, of the past 25 years, but what is the real root of Palestinian (and the wider Arab world) anti-Israeli feelings? Well, the Arab world, in general, and the Palestinian world, in particular, quite simply teaches their children to hate the people of Israel. How can peace possibly be achieved when the "other side" glorifies war and death? When Will They Ever Learn is my protest song against this culture of hate that infects the Arab world ... and, sadly, often how we in the West respond (or fail to respond) to it.
