I realize I should have these lyrics posted somewhere. I'll start by posting them here on my website and will see about adding them to some of the online databases. Please feel free to post these online on any lyric websites you want.

Light of the Day/Dark of the Night
Shaun Barrowes

Vs. 1
I jumped through all the shades of gray
No rainbows where my winds blow
My hand still holds the right to blame
The high road I crawl down

Chorus
Oh—what’s the price you pay
For the all the ones you try
To save
Why walk the lonely road
Where all the heroes die
Before long

Vs. 2
With all the soles of shoes worn thin
Let’s stop this hot coals nonsense
I’m losing face with my own heart
How do I bring back the

Bridge
Light of the day/Dark of the night
Light of the day/Dark of the night
Light of the day/Dark of the night
La da da da la da da da
La da da da

Chorus Repeated

Bridge Repeated

Last Chorus
Yeah—I’ve taken all the shots
I’ve given everything
I've got
Wait! I still have life to give
And that will set me free
In the end
The end—Oo

Here's a commercial spot I did for a new website: www.musicmogul.com:

"Music Mogul Commercial featuring Shaun Barrowes":

For many years, I had been known as the “pianoman”. However, every time someone labeled me with that moniker, I knew I was getting compared to the great Billy Joel. As proud as I was with such a comparison, Pianoman would always refer to him, and not me. So in order to carve my own sonic niche, I always knew I’d need my own nickname.

After one of my shows, a few fans of mine were complimenting my piano style, and in their description of my hard-hitting fashion, they started using the term, “Hammer Hands”. At the time, I thought it was a funny term used to describe my merciless pounding of the keys. But then, “Hammer Hands” started coming up more and more among my fans. During my pre-show visualization exercises, I started to envision “Hammer Hands” performing for the crowd, rather than Shaun Barrowes. It would be “Hammer Hands” who got the crowds to their feet; it would be “Hammer Hands” who swooned the women; and it would be “Hammer Hands” who earned a deafening applause when the curtain fell. Not Shaun Barrowes the pianoman. I started to like the sound of that.

As a kid, I always fantasized of becoming a superhero. Wolverine was always my favorite, as I’d read X-Men comic books and let my imagination run wild. With this new nickname, I can’t help but feel as though I’ve acquired a piece of that fantasy. Sure, I may not have retractable bone claws or a healing factor that allows me to recover from all wounds, but when I step onto that stage, and the crowds start to cheer, I’m no longer that goofy kid who talks too loud or has a faulty attention span; I am “Hammer Hands”!

The name suits me well—I perform with all reckless abandon, and it’s only fair to let fans know what they’re getting themselves into when they purchase a ticket to see Shaun Barrowes in concert. They should know that Shaun Barrowes is merely my alter ego, and when I dawn my superhero persona, “Hammer Hands”, only then am I ready to rock the stage!

Concert Montage, set to "Never for My Sake":

Hey, so I won the last contest I entered, and that gave me $30,000 to use towards PR and marketing campaigns. It's definitely helped give my CD more recognition! So first of all, thanks again to everyone who voted for me last time!

Well, I've entered another contest. It's easier to vote for this one--you don't have to sign up for anything. If I win this, I get $100,000 worth of promotional services (radio promotion, tour promotion, online marketing, Music Video, and TV/Film placement!)! So please take 30 seconds (that's really how long this should take!) and cast your vote:
