In 2003 I release my first album Immortal.  It was featured on NPR, WXPN In Philadelphia and online on Radio Paradise, Sound Click, Jamendo, Magnatune and LastFM to name a few.  I also got played on  many college radio stations  and many podcasts and web streams.  The reviews were pretty good for the most part and over the last 8 years I have sold a few albums and many people have purchased the music through Itunes, CD Baby or other digital distribution sites.

I have started work on my next album and I need your help.   I have created a “project site” at GoFundMe.com so that people can donate to my musical project.   I need 500 people to donate $5 per month for the next 3 months so that I can focus solely on creating music.

I am hopeful that this next album will allow me to make music my livelihood.   I have a great deal of music ready to record and I just need the resources to focus on making music.

I hope you can help me.   Please visit my GoFundMe.com website where you can make a donation and follow the progress of my work and my fundraising.  Any amount you can send my way will be appreciated whether its $1 or $100 dollars.

Thank you for your support and encouragement.

The first is the Occupy Lullaby, followed by Fire Not Fade.  I will post Lyrics here and post rough versions of them on YouTube.

Occupy Lullaby
Copyright 2011 Val Davis

Theres a feeling going round
And it started underground
Politics can’t get it done
So it looks like we’re the ones

Occupy Occupy, what we do is occupy
We can no longer close our eyes, occupy.

From on Wall Street To Old Boston
Oakland CA to Burlington
In our cities and our towns
This spark of hope is going round

Occupy Occupy, what we can do is occupy
We can no longer close our eyes, occupy.

Here and now is the time
They are but one, we’re 99
We hit the streets, our voices strong
And everybody sings along

Occupy Occupy, what we do is occupy
We can no longer close our eyes, occupy.

Fire Not Fade

What is the date its hard to tell
1970 or 2012
Tin soldiers on the streets again
They’re taking aim, they’re shooting freinds

We will break it down
We’ll spread word,  we’ll shake the ground
We cannot wait another day
Whis will not be a fire that fades
Fire not fade

Scott standing there peace all around
They took him down they bloodied ground
And when his brothers came to aid
They opened fire they bear the shame

We will break it down
We’ll spread word, we’ll shake the ground
We cannot wait another day
This will not be a fire that fades
Fire not fade

History repeats in time
Until we take the reins and ride
Gonna stop whats going down
Its time to spread the good around

We will break it down
We’ll spread word, we’ll shake the ground
We cannot wait another day
This will not be a fire that fades
Fire not fade

I am in the midst of a push to begin playing out more.   If you know of a venue that might suit my music, please drop me a line.

If you like my music please drop me a line.

If you knew me in a previous part of this life, please drop me a line!

In case you can’t tell, I would love to hear from you.  Tell me what you think of my music, or tell me about other music you love.

Stay tuned for more fun here and thanks stopping by!
