Born from the creative synergy of songwriting partners Ed Vallee and Kelly Padrick, "While There's Still Time" emerged from the vibrant New York City music scene of the late 1980s. Set against a light-hearted, medium-tempo reggae groove in a major key, the song’s emotional lyrics create a poignant contrast, revealing deep regret and longing beneath the upbeat rhythm. While the music suggests ease and sunshine, the words tell a story of lost love, missed chances, and a desperate hope to reconnect before time runs out. This juxtaposition highlights the bittersweet tension between the carefree sound and the heartfelt emotional weight of the message. Fast forward thirty years later, “While There’s Still Time” conveys the timeless universal vibe with excellent studio production by Ed Vallee and captivating vocals by Paula Clare.
"Sounds wonderful Ed, I love how the light and happy feeling of the track contrasts the heaviness of the lyric. Performances and production are stellar! Thank you for sharing!"

Born from the creative synergy of songwriting partners Ed Vallee and Kelly Padrick, "The Stranger I Chose" emerged from the vibrant New York City music scene of the late 1980s. This evocative composition explores the complex emotional aftermath of a fleeting encounter - where moments of passion give way to creeping regret, gnawing mistrust, and the sting of betrayal. The song masterfully captures the haunting duality of transgressive desire. Originally recorded in a raw, intimate session at Ed Vallee's home studio (2011), the song has now been reimagined with lush production and the captivating vocals of Paula Clare, breathing new life into this timeless story.
"It's refreshing to hear good, clean music being written and recorded today. I especially enjoyed the classical guitar inserts — they fit perfectly. The lyrics also feel authentic and sincere."
