I am very excited to share with my fellow songwriters and fans that two (2) songs I entered into the MILLION DOLLAR RIFF WORLDWIDE SONGWRITER'S COMPETITION sponsored by Damian McSweeney from Australia has made the TOP TEN FINALIST: SHE DREAMS ABOUT JACK NICHOLSON, an original song written by Lora Stanley and Mitch Cantor, (expired link), and, GETTING INTO YOU, an original song written by Lora Stanley and Keith Lambert, (expired link). Please go to the website and show your support with a ❤ for your favorite.

Thanks for your love and encouragement as always,

Hello friends and fans!

It is so hard to believe that summer has come to an end and fall is upon us with pumpkins on front porches and neighborhood witches getting their broomsticks ready for their yearly gathering around the cauldrons. America prepares for quite a momentous Presidential election while in the midst of racial, authoritative, environmental, and economic turmoil. With this in mind, I have added one of my songs, ONE EYE'S GREEN, co-written and performed by Tara Elisha, back to my song list as it is appropriate for times such as this. It is still is scratch demo form, but an amazing performance despite being a home recording. I hope you check it out!

Peace and love,

Original song written by Lora Stanley and Keith Lambert. This is one of my favorite collaborations with Keith because of the beauty of raw truth when it comes to the fickle indecisiveness of the heart and the choices we make, both the good and the bad. We learn from our mistakes and hopefully grow in spite of them.

Just a note to thank all the listeners for making PERFECT AS I WANNA BE #1 for Country/Pop in Indiana and #6 for the United States. It is a cut off of the debut EP, WAITIN' ON ME, by THE TRENT HUGHES BAND. I appreciate the support and encourage you to keep listening for new material. Have a safe and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

With my co-writer, Keith Lambert, we are so happy to get our latest project wings to fly today with WHAT THE HEART DOES, produced by Buddy Hyatt, and the awesome Ron Wallace on vocals. This song was inspired by a close friend going through a very difficult divorce that just seemed to have no reason or logic. With no sensible answer, I told him, "that's what the heart does," and here we are with a song close to home. I hope that you love it as much as we do and share it with your friends.

With much love,

I also have WHAT THE HEART DOES and ROLLIN' ON THE WATER waiting to get into the studio, so please stand by......lots of love. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Please listen to the new collaboration written with and performed by the very talented TARA ELISHA. I got the inspiration from our family pet, Fred, an Australian Shepherd, with one green eye and one blue eye, but the song has a deeper message within of a political and environmental current. As a daughter and wife of former coal miners, this industry is part of my heritage while I still believe we have a responsibility to our planet. We must work together as there is not a singular correct answer to solve our energy/climate crisis.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music and the support you have given. I wish you all a happy holiday season filled with joy and blessings for the new year.

Much love,

Lora Stanley, Songwriter
