About the Songs

We're From the Rock  
An invitation to anyone who has never visited Newfoundland, to come here. 
Lyrics by Wayne Button and Marlene Clarke. Music composed by Wayne Button.         

Leaving
Like So many families in Newfoundland, Wayne's four children have had to leave the 
province in order to make a living and a decent life for themselves. His own situation and that 
of so many around him certainly inspired this song. 
Lyrics and Music by Wayne Button.

You Were There
Lyrics and Music by Wayne Button as a loving tribute to his beautiful wife Fran.              

Lost Way of Life
Inspired by the longing in an old man's eyes as he looked out to sea while strolling along 
the beach. 
Lyrics by Marlene Clarke. Music by Wayne Button

Oh Big Sea
  A reflection on how we both feel about the sea. 
Lyrics by Wayne Button and Marlene Clarke. Music by Wayne Button.            

Newfoundlanders By Choice
My own expression on how I feel about Newfoundland and why I choose to to live here 
and make it my home.               
Lyrics by Marlene Clarke. Music composed by Junior Butt.     

Our Greatest Resource
A true fact of life here. Warm friendly people who welcome all as family and where
helping your neighbour is still part of everyday living.    
Lyrics and Music by Wayne Button. 

The Screech In
I guess you could say that this song is self explanatory, and it does show that we are         
 a fun loving people.
