This has been such a cathartic process, from the actual writing of this song, after having lost my beautiful Mom, following a brief illness, at only 78, in 2013.
I wrote it, and played this song live for the first time (incredibly hard to get through it, without getting emotional), at Light of Day, in 2015, and continued to do so, at people’s requests for it, at gigs, and have finally recorded it.
Now, to create this video, infusing the very essence of personal emotions and memories that I wanted to convey, to complete my story about her, has been the best part of it.
I want to thank Kyle Ward, one of my guitar players, of Kyle Ward Productions, who totally gets me, and my process, so well, and adds his expertise, and enthusiasm, which is so contagious, that helps me bring my songs to life.
He and I designed a very unique synth dynamic to this tune, to give it the spacey, ethereal, and contemporary sound it has. Finally, I asked my ubertalented musical compadre of 30 yrs, Norman Seldin,
to add his piano magic, and he rounded out my vision to perfection.
Breathing life into these songs I’ve written over the years, is so amazing…and when they are finally ready to launch, it’s like watching your child walk for the first time….it’s terrifying and exhilarating all at once!
I hope this touches anyone, who has lost someone dear to them, with a lightness and gentle hug, because I wanted to impart comfort to others, with my belief, that life continues, just in another form, and that you can keep loved ones near, by embracing all life and nature around us. I hope I succeeded in doing that, by releasing this very personal story to the world. Peace, Pam
My new release is up, and I can't wait for you all to hear it!!
Listen, and share with your friends!
I't's fun, upbeat, and a perfect summer tune to take along with you!
Enjoy!! Pam
Heyyyyyy Everybody!
Very excited to let you know that my new single, Lose Myself, is now out, and available for streaming and purchase on most music platforms!
Happy listening!
Hi everyone! So excited to announce that I have released a new song, now streaming, and available for purchase on all sites! I wrote this in March, after the Covid lockdown was enforced, and answers to what was happening, how long we would have to be isolated from loved ones, and kept from our daily life, created some anxiety for me. I realized, in writing this song, that maybe others could find comfort and hope, as I found for myself, once I put my worries onto paper. I have received great feedback from my listeners, and if I can help others with this release, then I know I will have succeeded in my purpose for writing it! Please share! Thank you, Enjoy, and stay well! XO Pam

I love you all, am so honored to have you all here, and am so happy that you find something in my songs that keeps you promoting my music for others!
My summer gigs have been plentiful, but that means I haven't been able to get to the studio and work on my cd!

Hi Pam McCoy!
Congratulations, Your song is #1 for All Genres in United States, New Jersey!
Share a song to help it move up in the charts!
Let It Go
Thank you to all my new subscribers!
I am so honored and thrilled to know you're listening and enjoying!
I'm in the studio, as time allows, between my producer's travelling, and mine...but we are closing in on the 6th tune, and they are sounding amazing, so I'm being patient with the drawn out process it entails! Have a few more to go before final vox and then the fun of having some incredible friends and associates add their personal touches vocally, and instrumentally to the project. Whew...such a rush to know the talent I call friends!
I wanted to give you a taste of the cd, by posting live versions here, so, hope you'll like them, and share if you do!
More to come, I promise!!
Happy Easter, to those who celebrate today!
xoxo, Pam

Been booking my fall/winter schedule, which you can check out on my link page.
Heading to the studio, finally, to get busy on my first EP! Very excited to share with you all soon.
The two song sketches I have here will be on it--yaaaay!
Be well, and hope to see some you, local to my area, at one of my shows! Please let me know if you do!
Love, Pam
