Here's a little year end song that has all the top stories of 2009. Enjoy.
I've written music professionally for 20 years. I'm a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and have written music for Target, Best Buy, Pepsi, McDonald's, Marshall Fields and many more. In 2004 I won an Emmy for my work with Gannett.

A Song for 2008
I wrote this last December after a tough year for us all. New one coming in a couple weeks for 2009
For Jan, I'm in Like With You.
Sometimes, I love you isn't enough.
I love the way you brush your hair
I love the way you curve your smile
I love the way you touch my hand
the way you find your own style
i love the way you hold your hips
I love the softness of your lips
almost everything you do
cause baby I'm in like with you
I love the way your legs are long
I love the small of your back
I love the darkness of your eyes
and the whiteness of your neck
I love the softness of your voice
I love the way your body's joined
I'm addicted through and through
cause baby I'm in like with you
(bridge)
Cause baby, you're the one for me
it took me too long to see
that we were made for each other
hand in hand along for the ride
like God took a rib out from my side
I love the way your closeness smells
I love the the color of your skin
I love the the way your hair falls down
and all the places that we've been
I love your arms around my neck
i love our quick goodbye pecks
I love all the things that are you
cause baby I'm in like with you
bridge
I love the clothes that you wear
I love the secrets that we share
i love the bigness of your heart
the way you always seem to care
I love it when we reunite
I love our cool walks in the night
all I know about you
cause Baby I'm in like with you
I'm addicted through and through
Cause baby, I'm in like with you
I love the way you brush your hair
I love the way you curve your smile
I love the way you touch my hand
the way you find your own style
i love the way you hold your hips
I love the softness of your lips
almost everything you do
cause baby I'm in like with you
I love the way your legs are long
I love the small of your back
I love the darkness of your eyes
and the whiteness of your neck
I love the softness of your voice
I love the way your body's joined
I'm addicted through and through
cause baby I'm in like with you
(bridge)
Cause baby, you're the one for me
it took me too long to see
that we were made for each other
hand in hand along for the ride
like God took a rib out from my side
I love the way your closeness smells
I love the the color of your skin
I love the the way your hair falls down
and all the places that we've been
I love your arms around my neck
i love our quick goodbye pecks
I love all the things that are you
cause baby I'm in like with you

I love the secrets that we share
i love the bigness of your heart

cause Baby I'm in like with you
I'm addicted through and through
Cause baby, I'm in like with you
A song about healing
Healing song - Rob Barrett
Healing Song for Wendy, demo
This was written for my friend who has already had a really tough year and just found out she has cancer.
We're not asking you to part the ocean
we're not asking you to stop the sun
we're not asking you feed the thousands
or for our will to be done
we're not asking you to send down manna
we're not asking that you still the storm
we're not asking that you walk on water
or that the veil be torn
You told us to ask and to believe
so we're asking you to receive
(chorus)
your smallest touch
your gentle breeze
to make our sister Wendy clean
your little finger
reaching down
to make things right
with your light
and heal
we're not asking you to end hunger
we're not asking for world peace
we're not asking you to stop the fighting
or to make dissension cease
We're not asking for world revival
we're not asking you for Godly kings
we're not asking you for your arrival
or the end of worldly things
but You told us to ask and to believe
so we're asking you to receive
(chorus)
Like your Son we pray
your will not ours
but stay with her
and carry her
through tough days and long hours
(chorus)
