Welcome to my music page.

I hope that you enjoy the music that I have written.  Please keep in mind that even though I am the one that is performing and recording my songs, I don't hold my performing abilities with too high a regard.  One day I hope to have much more talented musicians and singer perform my music, but for now I've got to work with what I've got; Me.  Also, one last thing, please keep in mind that although I have put my music on the internet, it is still my music and I've put a lot of time and energy into it. So please don't steal it, just listen and hopefully enjoy.© All words and music written and owned by Shawn Nelsen.

Flower	This is the newest of songs that I have written.  I tried some new recording ideas and I hope that they worked out!	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
There Was You	This is the latest song I wrote (in 2010). It has been so long since I have changed anything on this website that I don't even have the tool to upload the flash player anymore.  You can click on the little headphones and music will start... well at least it does for me :)
Step Closer	Step closer is the first song that I wrote in Italy.  It seems a little jazzy to me although I have problems as a jazz singer.  I like this song though.  I recorded it without a metronome and for some reason just like the rough rhythm and interesting mistakes.

Angel	I wrote Angel along with one other while I was living and studying in Italy.  It took me almost the whole 5 months that I was there to complete the writing process. I'm sorry that the recording did not turn out so good.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
Come Back	Come Back is a song that was inspired by a relationship between two of my very good friends.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
Cracks in Ice	I wrote Cracks in Ice shortly after I bought a bass guitar.  I was excited to develop a lick.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.
Games	I wrote Games in what must have been my sophomore year of high school and just never got completely tired of it.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
Hold You	I wrote Hold You for, not to, a girl that broke up with me shortly after.  It was a bad relationship, but at least I got this song that I still like.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.
Man Killer	Man Killer is a song that was simply inspired!	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.
Still There	I wrote this song for my girlfriend Erin and still mean every word of it.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
A Happy Nothing	This one is the first song that I ever truly recorded.  It was written and recorded in a matter of hours.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.	Lyrics
What She Needed	I wrote What She needed one lonely night, and though the meaning of the song was sad, it made me feel better.	This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

I really hope that you enjoy my music!
