Stand Up (3:55)
(Electronica) Call to action for LGBT citizens in the wake of the passage of Prop 8 in California. The song was inspired by the National DOMA Protest organized by Join the Impact in January 2009, and a clip of the song was included in the promo video I produced that was nominated for the HRC Los Angeles E-Hero Award.
Together As One (2:43)
(Punk Emo Rock) Appeal for everyone to come together especially in our schools and universities. The song was inspired by "Equality on Campus Day" in January 2009 whereby students across America wore the same t-shirt with the message "Together As One".
United We Love (3:04)
(Folk) Wedding vow to a loved one and message of unity and love to society at large. The song was inspired by and written days after the passage of Prop 8 in California, and I performed the song the following Saturday in front of 10,000 people at the Join the Impact rally in San Francisco.
Grand (3:47)
(Grunge Rock) Celebration of new-found freedom and marriage in the United States. The song was inspired by the CA Supreme Court overturning ban on same-sex marriage in May 2008, in which I wrote the song a few days after that fateful day.
That Is So (3:10)
(Swing/Rap) Humorous reflection of prevalent homophobia embedded in everyday conversational slang, especially among kids, teenagers and young adults. The Song inspired by the phrase "That is so gay" which is commonly used carelessly and pejoratively, regardless of its intention to offend LGBT people.
Honest Pay (3:25)
(Folk/Country) Story of a gay person who lost his job because he showed a picture of his family on his desk. The song inspired by current efforts to expand ENDA to include protection from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Allegiance (4:35)
(Rock/Soundtrack) A song about a Gay American Soldier's letters to his significant other at home while sent out to war. The song was inspired by the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy currently in place in America as well as the current level of homophobia affecting gay soldiers in the U.S. Armed Forces.
So Long (4:27)
(R&B/Ballad) A song about the mourning of a widower following the abrupt death of his husband and the dream that the widower had for the two of them. The song was inspired by the yearning to prove to the world that people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered do know what it means to love.
Promise (5:35)
(Ballad) An Ode from a parent to his/her newborn child, promising that the parent will look after the newborn throughout his/her childhood and adult years while the parent is alive. The song is inspired by gay adoption bans currently in place in a few states in America.
Your Time Has Come (5:20)
(Pop/Ballad) A dream of inspiration and hope towards a future of full equality in America. The song was inspired by the Eve of Justice rally in San Francisco in March 2009, especially by the speech from James Brosnahan that ended with his poignant sentence, "Your Time Has Come".
Featuring speeches by Willow Witte, Rev. Troy D. Perry, Stuart Gaffney, John Lewis and Robin Tyler.
More Equal Union (4:32)
(Pop/Dance) A reverie into the future of gay liberation and freedom in America. The song was inspired by the civil rights agenda for LGBT people as stated on President Barack Obama's White House website as well as the United States Constitution and our equal and inalienable rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Why (2:33)
(Soundtrack) A re-enactment of a murderous hate-crime. The song comes unexpectedly in the album right after an uplifting song of hope, as murders are senseless acts that can happen at any time. The song is inspired by efforts to pass the Matthew Shepard to strongly deter hate crimes towards LGBT people.
We Will Be Free (2:54)
(Choral) A solemn prayer of hope. The song was inspired by the life of Harvey Milk and the Memorial of George Moscone and Harvey Milk in San Francisco held on the 30th Anniversary of their assassination. The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus' performance there inspired this song to be a choral piece.
