about

This is the first song I've released since I became a mama to Charlie Jackson in 2017.

It’s called “The Little Things.” It was social distance-recorded and produced by the one and only, Mark Addison. My sweet and talented husband Ryan created the cover art.

For me, this song is a tribute to the precious moments between Charlie's birth and becoming a little boy..

I hope it means something special for you too.

I’m grateful for all of you, far and wide, for sticking with me through these crazy years and remaining so kind and supportive.

Video & more songs coming. . .

LYRICS: "The Little Things"

I want to remember the little things
the first notes that lead to a melody
They say time is funny
The days are so long
the years seem to hurry
The dreams come and gone

How I want to remember the little things
The dinos that dance on piano keys
They screech and they roar
Songs of wild carnivores
Who are hungry for more
Wilderness to explore
Oh please let me remember the little things

Time rolls on -- It waits for noone, no matter who you are
Time rolls on -- It has no love for the weak of heart

But I want to remember the little things
Coffee time tag on the trampoline
Rolling in the fresh laundry
Playing hide and then seek
Under warm towels and sheets
Your laughter so sweet

Yes, I want to remember the little things
How I’d rock you for hours in sweaty sleep
Then you’d stir and reveal
An innocent grin
Saying “Mommy, I found you”
Gently nestling in

Time rolls on -- It waits for noone, no matter who you are
Time rolls on -- It has no love for the weak of heart

So, just try to remember the little things
No matter how hazy or hard it seems
They say time is funny
The days are so long
the years seem to hurry
Our lives come and gone

Wendy Colonna Austin, Texas

The Austin-American Statesman wrote “Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter, she’s a force of nature.”

Wendy’s songs tell tales of empowerment, loss, mortality, joy, reclaimed innocence and celebration. Her resonant, signature, grit-infused-honey voice can move from a sweet whisper to a full-on bayou-soul-shout without skipping a beat.

She's a Mama, Musician, Coach & Believer in magic. ... more
