about

For a short time, while I was waiting to transfer from SUNY Purchase to Manhattanville college, I lived at home and rode the 40 minute bus ride to work in White Plains NY for a little company called IBM.

I was just a temp doing photocopying and correcting computer errors. It was intensely boring and drove deep into my unconscious mind the desire to

NEVER, EVER WORK FOR A LARGE COMPANY AGAIN... there I said it. And I have pretty much been self employed ever since.

Sometimes frustration is highly MOTIVATING. :o)

lyrics

Short Song
#38 | January 1980 | Songs Through A Window LP | Tuning: DADGAE

You go to sleep in the evening
You rise in the morning
You put on some clothes
And you go to work all day

You do what they pay you for
You eat your lunch alone
You get on the bus
And you head back home

You have yourself some supper
You wash up the dishes
You look at TV
Then you go upstairs to bed

Outside my window
I see the stars a shining
The dog next door…
He Barks at the moon

I used to be a child
Now I am a young man
Someday I’ll be an older man
Someday I will die…

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
