Slow Down 03:55
You're always on a mission Afraid you'll fall behind Never stopping for a moment For the good things you might find You never pause for a second To listen to the truth Slow down, you're gonna get there soon Slow down, life is calling you Slow down. You could stop to smell the roses Have a moment in the sun Wondering what's around the corner Just around the bend You think the grass is always greener On the other side of the fence You're always looking for something else Behind another door Slow down, you're gonna get there soon Slow down, life is calling you Slow down. Speeding through time Eager to see what you'll find Gotta pull it all together Racing through life But you don't see the telltale signs Don't you know what really matters Is right before your eyes

I was stuck Had a run of bad luck Had a feeling that the best years were behind me So I prayed For the pain to go away Don't wanna have to live this way Don't wanna be afraid be I've been holding onto memories Should have let them go like the falling leaves I should be looking for these Signs of life Should be looking for a heartbeat at somewhere I know there's Signs of life Should be looking for so much more I know I've been down I've been crying all the time Over things that happened long ago I'll have to let them be I'm trying to break free I know there's something better on The other side for me Don't wanna waster another day I'm done with this, I've got plans to make There's no time to lose Gotta look for Signs of life Should be I looking for a heartbeat at somewhere I know there's Signs of life Should be looking for so much more I know I never lost that feeling I always held on tight I still believe in love And it's all around, gotta find these Signs of life

Looking For Sunshine Words and music by Shannon Hurley Those summer days keep slipping away from me I made mistakes, now you're running away from here I can't pull you back out of yesterday You're too far I'm going crazy Looking for Sunshine Was it in my mind Maybe you'll come back I keep thinking someday You'll give me a sweet sign Hoping you walls will come tumbling down My silent heart is waiting to follow you In the dark, I'm pleading to let me through 'Cause I can't stand in the shadows of yesterday It's too hard I'm going crazy Looking for Sunshine Was it in my mind Maybe you'll come back I keep thinking someday You'll give me a sweet sign Hoping your walls will come tumbling down Shine your light on the shadows and let me know Where you are I'm going crazy Looking for Sunshine Was it in my mind Maybe you'll come back I keep thinking someday You'll give me a sweet sign Hoping your walls will come tumbling down

Stay 03:57
Stay Words and Music by Shannon Hurley Copyright 2011 A change is comin' with the season It breaks my heart to see you're leavin' Baby there is no need to explain And if there's any doubt how I'm feelin' I won't be trying to look for the meaning If we're meant to go our separate ways 'Cause love is a crazy thing You never know where it leads You know what you need Don't leave it up to me Stay if you wanna stay Fly if you wanna leave this behind I will understand I won't be the one to say goodbye I won't be the one to tell you Not to follow where your heart leads you If you need a little room to breathe If you wish to make it so I'll find a way to let you go So open up and let your own heart speak Life is a funny thing You never know what it brings How can I keep you here when you're wanting to be free Stay if you wanna stay Fly if you wanna leave this behind I will understand I won't be the one to say goodbye Even as I hold you in my arms I can feel you slip away There is a road that we must travel Maybe it will lead you back someday (CH) So say goodbye Donʼt make me be the one to say goodbye

about

My new album is called "California". I am excited to share these songs with you! It is my love letter to my favorite state and all the stories that have happened while I've been here. But please don't expect every song to be about palm trees, rock stars, and surfing. It's a little different than that :)
