Biog :
Teresa Austin
Greetings from the peaceful countryside of Kentucky. I am a songwriter, guitar student, mother, nurse, sister, friend and daughter. I am half Chamorro (Micronesian) and half Caucasian, and 100% Me. My mother was an islander from Saipan and my father was a cowboy from Wyoming. They met in peacetime after World War II and raised me in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California. My mother was a 21-year-old civilian wounded during WWII, and this is one reason why Paul Weston and JoAnne Ford’s WE ARE THE FUTURE project is so important to me. I know that the effects of war linger from generation to generation and we have the power to design the kind of world we'd like to live in through projects like this one.
I started writing lyrics in November, 2005 after returning from seven weeks of nursing at hospitals in Louisiana during hurricanes Katrina and Rita. I utilized the on-line website www.Songwriter101.com. From there, I arrived to where I am today. I began collaborating with other songwriters on the site at all levels, while learning more and more about the music industry and the creative mechanics of song construction. In a year and a half, seven lyrics have been constructed and set to music:
Ocean Serenity (We Are The Future song project) – Dale Pulliam, California
Drop Me Off In Dallas – Gary Andrews, Ohio
Taking Her Tunes Out of Town Tonight – Emma Luna, Tenn. & Jeffrey Knight, Georgia
The Maple Tree – Tommy Liden, Sweden
No Time Like The Present – Charles Kirkland, Texas
Littah of Tequila – Glenn Spayth, Tennessee
South of Tampa – John Selleck, New Jersey
In June, ’06 I opened my home to James Dean Stenzel, another songwriter from S. Dakota who calls himself, 'A Gifted Idiot' on MySpace (which he named for his Asperger’s syndrome). I am co-writing a book with him, based on his true story of living and coping with the syndrome. We met on Songwriter101.
In August, '06 I co-hosted with JD the Red River Songwriter's Jam at our small country home where we utilized our front porch as a stage. We were honored with singer/songwriter/musicians from Spain, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee and Kentucky. JD provided free recordings by utilizing a vacant country store as a studio. Some pictures of the event can be seen on my music page.
I continue to write lyrics and open myself to networking and collaborating nationally and internationally. I can be reached at bavarder2u@yahoo.com or my MySpace music page.
Every person on earth in some small way can contribute to world peace. This is one of my ways of showing my support.
Special thank you to Paul Weston and JoAnne Ford for the wonderful work you are doing with WE ARE THE FUTURE international song project and for giving Dale and I this opportunity. Also to Dale Pulliam and his associates for all of their hard work, time and talent in producing this demo, Songwriter101 friends for critiqueing the project lyric and my other lyrics, and all who work towards world peace.
Lyrics :
THE OCEAN SERENITY
Verse:
The wooden pier that stretches from the shore
Takes me back to where I was before
The peace and understandin
Of the beach is where I've always belonged
PreChorus:
Well, I made up my mind this overwhelming sense of freedom
is my world by design 'cause where there's love that's where life is
Chorus:
The ocean serenity and a seagull that soars
The dolphin's laughing joyfully in their playground outdoors
Like a starfish and a seahorse wanting to explore
It's the ocean serenity reaching shore to shore
Verse:
I taste the spray of salty air this mornin'
A kiss from the sea means there's a good life nearby
And I know at times the truth can be deceiving
But the surf and the sand can't tell a lie
PreChorus:
Well, I made up my mind this overwhelming sense of freedom
Is my world by design 'cause where there's peace that's where love is
Chorus:
The ocean serenity and a seagull that soars
the dolphin's laughing joyfully in their playground outdoors
Like a starfish and a seahorse wanting to explore
It's the ocean serenity reaching shore to shore
(Musical Bridge)
PreChorus:
Yes, I made up my mind this overwhelming sense of freedom
is my world by design 'cause where there's peace that's where love is
Chorus:
The ocean serenity and a seagull that soars
The dolphins laughing joyfully in their playground outdoors
Like a starfish and a seahorse wanting to explore
It's the ocean serenity reaching shore to shore
