Secret (free) 03:18
The last thing to take my breath away, make a bad boy's heart burn up and break, put me on ice and keep me awake Eyes like a freight train knock you out, like so much novocaine, and I can't feel a damn thing and it's ok And I'm in love, but my lips are sealed, and the way I feel, I'm losing sleep, this little woman makes me weak I had a breakdown just last night, watching you hold him oh so tight, wishing he was me and you were mine Maybe I can dream of you tonight, everything I want will come to life, I'll wake up, and you'll be gone, girl it makes me cry And I'm in love, but my lips are sealed, and the way I feel, I'm losing sleep, this little woman makes me weak

Amelia 04:12
Let them fall down on me, all the troubles that you know All the demons that you see, just close your eyes if it's hard to breathe If you let me plant a seed, give me one more chance to show I am everything you need, if you'll only let me know It's alright love, this can be the life that we've been dreaming of Amelia, the look that's in your eyes Amelia, If I told a lie, you'd make it true, you make it hard to make it back to you

Rock n Roll 03:20
Rock 'n' Roll I heard a story about a man and his promised land who ran away from god and love He stole a motor bike with a velvet lie, he wore a cross on his neck for luck He kissed his sweetheart and said so long, he said mama don't you cry You know I'm gonna make you proud before I die He had the rage to fight and sing late at night, he smoked until his lungs were black He learned muscle cars and mason jars he got a tattoo on his back He'd never tell you that he cried at night or stuck a needle in his arm He wrote back home there was no cause for alarm Rock and roll can save your life and it'll take away your pain Rhythm and soul can take a young man and wash him like the rain And if you're like me you'll be set free when the band strikes up a song And you'll dance, dance, dancing all night long You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home tonight You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home You'll be a rolling stone son if you don't come home Rock and roll can save your life and it'll take away your pain Rhythm and soul can take a young man and wash him like the rain And if you're like me you'll be set free when the band strikes up a song And you'll dance, dance, dancing all night long

This time was different and I, I thought you'd come around You showed up but it was just a lie, and you broke my heart and you let me down You said that this was just a game, and don't take is serious that way I just won't keep this lie up, this time I've had enough I'm standing on the edge, at the end of the line, begging you to give me back what's mine If I jump, would you let me hit the ground, or reach out your hand this time around I see you everywhere at night, when I close my eyes And I feel I can't go on, without you by my side I'm standing on the edge at the end of the line, begging you to give me back what's mine If I jump would you let me hit the ground, or reach out your hand this time around

Burnin' Up 03:21
It's something seen on the silver screen, but it was just a myth to me a fairy tale of a girl and a guy, and everything that comes in between We stayed up and talked all night, both too scared to act just right I'm convinced it's something and I'm a fool So get up the courage to say that line, promise me baby we'll be just fine Hollywood never wrote no script so good We're burnin' up like wood And I find, we both love wasting time but the time that we wasted made me worse for the wear because you wore me out and blew my mind You took my hand and we danced through the night, stepped so wrong and it felt just right If you're looking for love when you've found it then you're a fool So get up the courage to say that line, promise me baby we'll be just fine Hollywood never wrote no script so good And you've got the power to save my life, and I've got the words to change your mind We don't say it, it just goes understood We're burnin' up like wood We stayed up and talked all night, both too scared to act just right I'm convinced it's love and I'm a fool So get up the courage to say that line, promise me baby we'll be just fine Hollywood never wrote no script so good And you've got the power to save my life, and I've got the words to change your mind We don't say it, it just goes understood We're burnin' up like wood

This Hell 04:34
Take me by surprise, With a flat and grey horizon My coffee cup's gone cold, after endless hours of driving Screaming out my name, and I wonder if it's ever changed The sunlight burns the skin, and I feel just the same as everyone else Welcome to this hell I feel like there is something we can find, that makes us special I have lost my head and keep on trying, tell dad I'm a let down Screaming out my name, and I wonder if it's ever changed The sunlight burns the skin, and I feel just the same as everyone else Welcome to this hell Sometimes I dream of home, and I find that home is where I lay my head Maybe it'd be different, if you were spinning me a silver thread It can't be helped Welcome to this hell

about

Better Half is my first album. It was recorded in Ft. Collins Colorado at the Blasting Room Studios with producer Christopher Jak and engineer/co-producer Andrew Berlin. These songs are a tribute to the rock, pop, and country artists that I grew up listening to and to the songs that shaped me as an artist. They are a story, two years in the making, of my dreams and troubles. A fantastic crew of instrumentalists helped to make these songs come to life. Just as important are the small number of friends and family that donated their hard-earned money to pay for the costs of the album. This album belongs to them as much as it does to me.
This is a dream come true!
Enojy!

about

Sam Lee Denver, Colorado

"With his soulful, powerful, made-for-radio voice in the driver seat, Sam Lee's music is a sonic melting pot of hook centered pop, anthemic heartland rock and bluesy soul. A true crossover artist both on record and on stage, he is both intimately engaging and enthrallingly dramatic." ... more
