The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
Every day I look out my window and see the beauty of Kittitas Valley in Central Washington state. The peacefulness and beauty of my surroundings do wonders for my emotional well-being. This is a song about how my home makes me feel.
Lyrics
The Kittitas Valley, hundreds of acres wide as your smile. Wilson Creek winding, it's way down the hillside From farmland cows and horses, and ranches of timothy hay The wind whips up all the smells of the valley It blows the scent of home my way. Ohhh, It Feels Like Home If only I could keep that feeling alive No.... don't keep me alone Do more than just merely survive To the North is the land where the Wenatchee forest grows And when it's not burning it's such a fine place to ride To the south down the Yakama River as it rapidly flows Acres of scrub land is a feast for my heart and my eyes. Oooooh, I'm home without a care Oooh, you find the best things in the middle of nowhere A song that carries forever on a magical midnight breeze Would you dare call it anything but a muse to write of love It feels like home when you smile and it brings me down to my knees And lends me another perfect line of sight to rise above I call to you and you pulled me up out of despair. And living each day to remember the things that mean the most I never got to say how much that you really have meant to me But the mountains echo with the feelings of love and hope I know that I can touch the skies, above And feel that all is there to love And when it befalls us to look the other way I can't be sure that I have it in me to try We follow that river down and find along the way I can be thankful for whatever we find. *solo* Oooh, I'm home without a care But of the troubled times I'm still painfully aware A song that marries the wind and my desire to be free Would you dare deny me of that one horse fantasy I go to sleep and imagine exactly how I'd like it to be To sing in front of thousands while preaching for amnesty This place, this time, not to be wasted or taken for granted Every minute has a purpose and meaning all of it's own Maybe something real will come of the fantasies I've planted I'll walk through that garden and cherish whatever has grown. And when it befalls us to look the other way I can't be sure that I have it in me to try We follow that river down and find along the way I can be thankful for whatever we find.
