1. "The Road" written by Tupelo and Janey Kenyon - 3:34 Style: Folk Rock Description: Even the closest of friends often find themselves on totally opposite life paths, but that's O.K.

2. "Moon to Moon" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 5:35 Style: Soft Rock / Island Feel Description: Balance is an important but sometimes difficult quality to achieve in our modern lives. But the more hectic and stressful life becomes, the more important it is to find moments to reunite with nature to remind ourselves that all living things share the same breath. The farther away we live from the beautiful scenes of Mother Nature, the easier it is to forget her laws . . . and the fact that they still pertain to us too. This song commemorates a special time in our lives when we were able to break free of the grid and live our lives not from paycheck to paycheck, and not from hand to mouth. We felt refreshed and recharged by reimmersing in nature.. We highly recommend the new perspective gained by occasionally slipping away into the wilderness, and living from moon to moon.

3. "Angels Around Us" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:53 Style: Contemporary Folk Rock Description: Have you ever felt utterly and completely alone, and then dug a little deeper to discover that maybe you are not alone after all? Is it your higher self, or your guardian angel, or perhaps an over-active imagination? How can you tell the difference, and how can you ever really know for sure? If the first step to finding the answers is asking questions, this song may help because it's full of sincere questions that have been asked by millions for as long as people have had the capacity to wonder. Lyric Excerpt: All shapes and sizes, just like you thought and clever disguises There are angels around us . . . there are angels around us . . . there are angels around us Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

4. "Soul in the Stars" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 5:04 Style: Folk Rock Description: It feels good to try to see the bigger picture once in awhile, especially when we begin to get swallowed up by life's daily little emergencies that are so effective at stealing away our attention and energy. It doesn't take much to readjust our viewpoint, if we just take the time to do it . . . a walk in the woods, listening to a mountain stream, or laying on your back in the grass and getting lost in the stars. Before long, it's easier to focus on gratitude for what we have, rather than the frustration of what we are lacking. Lyric Excerpt: I wish I could remember to count my lucky stars I'm not exactly grounded, but I'm not entirely free Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

5. "Urge to Submerge" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:58 Style: Feel-good blues (Yes, it's an oxymoron.) Description: Born at Coco View Scuba Diving Resort in Roatan Honduras, this song is a sassy celebration of enjoying the wonders of the sea. People have mentioned they get an entirely different meaning from this down and dirty blues grind, but I'm sure I have no idea what they mean by that. It's about scuba diving . . . honest!

11. "Take the Plunge" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:25 Style: Folk rock Description: Have you ever had a well-meaning friend or relative try to talk some "sense" into you about an experience or adventure you are passionate about? From their perspective, their advice is "for your own good", but the last thing you need to hear is their worst-case scenario. Lyric Excerpt: I'm tired of hearing all that bad news, from the profits of doom I'm taking the plunge, ready to lunge off the deep end Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

"No, yes!" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 1:09 Style: Talking blues (a la New Age) Description: Inspired by the teachings of Abraham, modern day teacher of the science of deliberate creation and the art of allowing, this song examines the folly of continually "shooting yourself in the foot" by holding conflicting thoughts at the same time. Yes I can. No I can't. I want that. But do I really deserve it? Around and around it goes.

15. "Takin' My Time" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:09 Style: Folk rock Description: It's easy to simply give away so much of your time that there's none left for you.
