about

I wanted to write the most simple love song, without it coming off as trite...something more classic. Of course, inspired by my husband, it needed to be something he would like as well, since he would be playing guitar on his own love song and performing it live over and over. Although I have written many songs involving the basic theme of love, this one is truly dedicated to Andre.
After I wrote it, we were approached by Director Leif Tilden to do the score to a short film with Sam Rockwell, Mary McCormak and Emma Roberts called BIG LOVE. It called for a specific pace and feeling for the end song and when I placed this song against the action, it fit perfectly. The film went on to be seen and the song heard around the world from Sundance to Japan.
It has since been placed in 2 major TV shows including Men In Trees and Private Practice. Amazing.....the little love song just keeps on getting new life.

lyrics

HERE ON THE GROUND

Stop me if you know this one
But of the stars, the moon and sun,
No one lights me up like you

Starry night and a bottle of rye,
Tip one back, here’s mud in our eyes
No one warms me up like you

FROM HERE ON THE GROUND
THE STARS FALL, THEY FALL ENDLESSLY
BACK HERE AT HOME
NOTHING IS HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE,
EXCEPT FOR YOU BEING HERE WITH ME

Make a noise if you know this one
But when the whole world comes undone
No one mends me up like you

Stitch by stitch, you make it all right
One sweet kiss, it’s all out of sight,
No one heals me up like you

HERE ON THE GROUND
THE STARS FALL, THEY FALL ENDLESSLY
BACK HERE AT HOME
NOTHING IS HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE,
EXCEPT FOR YOU BEING HERE WITH ME
