Communications Done
Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO:BMI

This song was written from a conversation I had with my mother over the phone. We joking around and I said, communications done. Then a lightbulb went off in my head and I said, I think I will write a song about it. The song actually turned out be more then I ever thought.

The song is about being under control by someone who is dominating, no I was not referring to my mother on this song (smiles) because she is not but someone who came into my life and decided to take control. This person was making me feel like a robot if I didn't do what was told of me. So I had enough and said, communications done, done done.


Steady Rest (04:00)

Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO:BMI

This gritty rock song is about fighting for our rights and standing up for what we believe in. I wrote this song during our election in 2017. It disturbed me so much listening to all the candidates trying to win us over and earn our trust. I said, time to write about it.


Creeps (04:34)

Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO:BMI


This was one of those songs that took no time to write. It's sad to say because it's about the scary people in our world. The song starts out with you scared, I'm scared. It seems we are living in constant fear now, whose the next creep that is going to hit the streets with their next thrill. The song has a different kind of ending, I am breathing, with the sense of panic.

It Cuts Like A Knife(04:03)

Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO:BMI
Special Guest: David Snow who mixed Faith Hill-Christmas Album on background keys

This is not the famous Bryan Adams song that people seem to get confused with the title. I wrote this song in less than an hour and it went off to win numerous indie music awards. This song is about a love hate relationship. Loving someone so much but wanting to leave them all at the same time.



When I Think About You (05:07)

Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO: BMI

This is a one-sided relationship love song, where someone is infatuated with you and as flattering as it maybe, it just can't happen. I wrote this song trying to figure out how to let them know we can't works things out, so I decided to write it in a song.



Run (04:39)

Songwriters: T Dawn
Publishers & PRO:BMI

This song is about walking into a room or situation and you feel like everyone is talking about you. Feeling like the world is crashing down on you and you just want to run.

T Dawn (Instrumental) (03:44)
Beautiful Birds
Special guest, Cailyn on lead guitar

Therapeutic Piano instrumental. This multi award winning song is captivating, therapeutic and relaxing.
