Pamela Holm 1960-2019

Singer, Songwriter, Music Therapist, Sound & Energy Healer

Category Archives: Songwriting

One thing on Pamela’s bucket list was to have her songs sung by other people. So let’s help her out!

I’m including recordings, sheet music and lyrics as I find and edit them.

(Posting her songs here constitutes publication, and copyright applies. She was also a member of SOCAN. However, I don’t intend to pursue the paperwork involved in claiming performance credits unless a song becomes a big hit, or you want to make a recording. If that happens, be kind and contact me, please.)
