Shannon Campbell :: Pet Rock Star

Songs, Lyrics, MP3s -- The Works!
The lists below contain pretty much every song I've ever written and/or recorded, and let me tell you, some of them are just plain embarrassing. I'm not going to tell you which ones, though, so you'll have to dig through all the good stuff to find the really horrible stuff. I'm definitely an advocate of laying it all out there, though, so I've been digging through years and years of recordings to bring you a wide variety of originals, covers... and other stuff.

The songs are separated by album (I'm using the term "album" loosely, though, since I've never officially released anything) where possible, and I marked the rest as clearly as I could. Click on a song title to be magically transported to a page with the story behind the song, the lyrics, and an mp3, or if so marked, just the mp3 itself.

All of these songs are offered freely, and the bulk of them are licensed under a Creative Commons deed (which means, in a nutshell, that you can download them, share them with your friends, or create a Dance Dance Revolution remix if you'd like, you just can't sell any of it), and will be tagged as such.

All songs were written by me, Shannon Campbell, unless otherwise noted.

If You're New to Shannon Campbell...
If you've never heard my music before, let me make a couple of recommendations. This isn't a definitive list by any means, but it's a good introduction to me, and the songs people tell me they like the most. Besides, all this music can be a little daunting, and you may not have time to sift through it all, you're a busy person, right? I mean, someone has to cure cancer.
