Entwined 03:38
I’m right here beside you. I’ve been here all the time. And when you’re through searching you’ll find your hand in mine. And if you can’t see me I’m never far behind. Just reach out, beside you It’s me you’ll always find. See the brightest star? We share the same light. And I’ve wrapped you up inside my life. Woh-Oh-Oh, Woh-oh oh-oh-oh The sweetness, it lingers, A meadow full and bright. The garden, Love’s flowers, are blooming all the time. No matter how far away you go, no matter where you climb, We’re birds of a feather. Our heartbeats too, entwined. See the brightest star? We share the same light. And I’ve wrapped you up inside my life. Woh-Oh-Oh, Woh-oh oh-oh-oh, Woh-Oh-Oh, Woh-oh oh-oh-oh Woh-Oh-Oh, Woh-oh oh-oh-oh, Woh-Oh-Oh, Woh-oh oh-oh-oh I’ve wrapped you up inside my life. Your hand in mine. Entwined. I’m never far behind your in my life, and I’ve wrapped you up, Entwined.

Rain 03:42
Rain on my win-dow. I see your face, in my reflection, a lost em-brace. Can you – show me the way? It's never too late, to take the chance to say, I love you, I thank you. I will always be your little girl. I miss you, I need you. I will always be – your little girl. I hear the laughter, I feel the pain. I see the pictures. Everythings changed. Can you – show me the way? It's never too late, to take the chance to say, I love you, I thank you. I will always be your little girl. I miss you, I need you. I will always be your little girl. Child-hood Mem'ries, like the rain-drops fall. Your love men-ding it all. I love you, I thank you. I will always be your little girl. I miss you, I need you. I will always be your little girl.

All my life I've looked right through the gate, to see the other side. To glimpse a world that only I create, If only I could fly. 'Cause it's the View From Here, that makes me feel this way, And I feel very clear live for today. Now I'm moving toward that very light. I used to close my eyes. I stand here on the edge and wonder why, I waited all this time. Cause it's the View From Here, That makes me feel this way, And I feel very clear Live for today!

It’s been a long a winding road to here, So filled with hopes and dreams and tears. There’s just one thing to keep in mind, It’s never too late to find the love of your life. Just like the bird that learn to fly. It soars upon the wind and sky. It’s not for us to reason why. It’s never too late to find the love of your life. Love’s just wait-ing there for you to dis-cover, To find the road that leads straight to each other And now you’re here you’ve come this far, A love that’s brighter than the stars, And now you tru-ly trust in time. It’s Never too late. Never too late. It’s never too late to find, the love of your - Life.

Words Last 04:05
Everything we say and everything we do it all comes back to you somehow It circles back. Every time the moment stays it never lasts Everything we say lasts. Try to make each day last. Though it’s a pleasant place to be Just don’t get trapped in memories of the past. You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away. Time stops for you. You’ve got to hold those memories close to you. Let their loveliness shine on through, and it circles back to you. All I need to say I need to say to you it’s up to me to speak the truth And heed the call. Let it come straight from the heart like petals fall. Everything we say lasts. Try to make each day last. Though it’s a pleasant place to be Just don’t get trapped in memories of the past. You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away. Words last, words last – They last! Let them fall, let them fall, like petals from your heart. You’ve got to live it for today and never let it slip away. Words Last!

about

Feast on five original songs that are a fresh new blend of Jazz & Adult-Contemporary Pop. "The lyrics are honest and spectacular," including Words Last - for a friend in hospice care and Never Too Late - written for a 79-year old bachelor and his bride.

released September 20, 2015

“View From Here,” EP puts Marti Mendenhall in the spotlight as Producer, Songwriter and Singer. Marti artfully combines her training in Jazz, Scat and classical piano with a new and fresh take in the world of Jazz. These five songs are a unique blend of both Jazz and Pop. Each song features lyrics deep with meaning and especially moving. “Words Last” was written for a friend while she was in hospice care, and “Never Too Late,” written for a 79 year-old bachelor and his bride.

The overall theme of the new album, “View From Here” is perspective. It explores the exhilaration of love, happiness and hope, and equally the depths of loss on the track called Rain. Each song highlights Marti’s musical depth, her soaring, crystal-clear soprano voice and lyrics sung with the passion and vibrant feeling of life. She is backed by Todd Strait on drums and percussion (Karrin Allyson, Mike Metheny), Dave Captein on bass (Tom Grant, Nu Shooz), and Dustin Hunley on keys, and Bethany Small and Erin Ibarra on backup vocals.
