Songs by Ken Hada is a collection of songs I wrote or performed over the years.
I wrote Band Bus Ride while writing a series of songs called The Epic. In fact, the subject matter of the songs was about a trip to Ireland and other things that happened while I was in the marching band.
Moon Drean is a song I wrote about losing my black labrador retriever. Further, I was trying to figure out the meaning of death and on one rainy day, the song came to me. Additionally, I recorded the vocals as they came to my head. Additionally, the rain and background noises are from a mic I hung out of a window while making this song. The beautiful chord progression was written by Joey Grijalva. In fact Joey and I wrote the entire Home CD in one evening. Rest in peace Dee Oh Gee.
5th Move is a song from the Epic series. In fact, I wrote the song is about a fundraiser I participated in over the summer of 1979. The fundraiser is located in the Alpha Beta parking lot in La Palma California. I was just out of Walker Junior High and going into Kennedy High.
Trusting is a love triangle song that I wrote while I the band Shoot The Moon
In short, “My Old Town” was written during the pandemic. I wrote this song about growing up in Buena Park in the 1970s and it features Matt Hensley from the band Flogging Molling and the activity called skateboarding.
