Faithless among men first came to me from Joe McSorley. Joe is from England so the song was co-written on two continents. I love the style of this song and what it has to say. It's about so many people in the work who believe they are alive because they are breathing. But, in reality they aren't because they are without Christ in their heart.

So This Is How Love Feels
In this song I wanted to describe how love felt to me. My favorite line in the song is, "So this is how love feels, a never ending vineyard that begins with just one seed". I know that's how love is with me and my wife. I feel that our love continues to grow as we continue to discover new things about each other. Our love continues to grow like a never ending vineyard.

If I Didn't Have You
One day I sat down and wrote out things that would not exist if they didn't have something else. For example, a sentence would not be a complete sentence if it didn't have a verb. A piano would not be a piano without keys or a guitar without strings. Or what would grass be, or look like, if it wasn't green? I then began thinking that is how I'd be without my wife "Liv". I'd be an opera singer who never sings. Words & Music by Jerry Corelli

All I've Got Is Me
When I wrote this song I was first thinking of everything I could give a soulmate. When it finally came down to it I realized the only thing I could give was myself. The giving of one's self completely is more of an act of love than the giving of any material thing, or things.

I Found You
As a music Publisher I receive thousands of demos a year from songwriters. When "I Found You" came from Deborah Beraducci I heard something wonderful in the words that she had written. The song needed some tweaking so I asked Deborah if I could work on the song as a co-writer. She graciously agreed and it became the first song I recorded on "Grandfather Moon".

I'll Never Love Again
Even as I was writing this song I knew somehow, somewhere I'd fall in love again. But at the moment I was writing this song I felt that love was never really going to come and stay in my life again. I think it's how most people feel just after a relationship ends. Words & Music by Jerry Corelli

Leave Me Alone
I had just ended a relationship and as it goes sometimes it's painful. A friend suggested we go out to a Karaoke bar and have fun. We hadn't been there more than 30 minutes and he spotted two women he thought would come over to our table. I wasn't looking to meet anyone so after he made his suggestion I thought to myself, "Leave me alone, just pretend that I'm not here." Instantly I grabbed a napkin and started writing the song. I wrote most of the song there at the bar and the finished it later.

Grandfather Moon
My best friend Kevin Mannarino and I will from time to time send each other recorded letters. We've known each other since we were 13 years old, both have recording studios and send recorded letters, or videos instead of writing a letter. Anyway, awhile back I was thinking of a title called "Grandfather Moon" but didn't have any music or lyrical inspiration for the rest of the song. Then one day I get a recording from Kevin, along with lines and phrases for songs, and there it was, "There's a silence in the night,...". Kevin had ended the sentence with a different word but for me Grandfather Moon fit right there at the end. The song title had been sitting around for months but once I got that first line from Kevin it took an hour or so to finish the song. Thanks Kevin! Words & Music by Jerry Corelli & Kevin Mannarino

My Future Seems
I wrote this song after going through a divorce. It was beginning feel like I was predestined to live my life alone and without a soul mate to share it with. Writing songs like "My Future Seems" is therapeutic and helps me a great deal to bounce back into life. When I listen to the song I realize life's not over and there will come a day when I'll meet that special someone. Which I finally did, my wonderful wife Elizabeth "Liv".
