Mark’s songs: 1: Living for Love: A song about hanging on and remembering why you are hanging on when the world gets dark. 2:Dead Words: Personal and political. When promises and actions diverge and you realize you had been conned. 3: Charleston: I lived on an Island by the harbor; images that stuck with me and a feeling of warmth. 4: Lot's to Learn: So much to learn I can always be intrigued and surprised!
5: Walk to the Trains: I used to walk through a town I lived in late at night. You could hear the trains from a long way away; it led me to thinking about people who had entered and left my life.
