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.

or take this short little survey please.

Flower	This is the newest of songs that I have written.  I tried some new recording ideas and I hope that they worked out!		Lyrics
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.		Lyrics
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.		Lyrics
Come Back	Come Back is a song that was inspired by a relationship between two of my very good friends.		Lyrics
Cracks in Ice	I wrote Cracks in Ice shortly after I bought a bass guitar.  I was excited to develop a lick.
Games	I wrote Games in what must have been my sophomore year of high school and just never go completely tired of it.		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.
Man Killer	Man Killer is a song that was simply inspired!
Still There	I wrote this song for my girlfriend Erin and still mean every word of it.		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.		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.

I really hope that you enjoy my music!
