Welcome to the Internet home of Untamed Heart Music and Singer/Songwriter Ran Birkins! If you're looking for music for the incurably romantic, or if you love "message music" that takes you on an emotional excursion, you've come to the right place!
· Remember Romance CD - Wedding And Reception Songs · Follow the heart icons in our website to take you to lyric pages and preview audio clips of the songs on Ran's latest release, "Remember Romance." The CD features Ran's popular wedding song "With This Ring" and two new songs for wedding receptions: "This Daddy's Little Girl" for the 'Bride & Her Father' or 'Father/Daughter' dance, and "Now We're Dancing" for the 'Groom & His Mother' or 'Mother/Son' dance.
· One Nation Under God: Full Length Recording · We've got the the full length version (not just a preview clip) of Ran's patriotic song "One Nation Under God" - it's Ran's answer to those few misguided Americans who think we should take the phrase "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance. "One Nation Under God," with powerful vocals by Jeannine Floores, is included as a bonus track on the "Remember Romance" CD.
· Message Music - A Different Kind Of Love Song · Read the lyrics and listen to full-length recordings of three very special songs from Ran's "Short Stories" and "Only My Best" CD's. In "Somewhere Sarah" a woman is reflecting on the decisions she made as a teenager when she was an unwed expectant mother. Adoption or abortion: which did she choose, and did she do the right thing? Ran's song “Whatever You Do" is the summation of his father's life-long teaching and role-modeling: "whatever you do, son, give it only your best." In "Number 29" Ran tells the story of Kriston Palomo's first day in heaven - Kriston was only 16 years old when he was tragically killed in a collision during a high school baseball game.
· Music Video and Musical · Ran is working on the script of the "Number 29" music video and plans are being finalized to film the video this summer at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies. Ran's musical "2000 Years Ago," the love story of Mary and Joseph leading up to the birth of Jesus, is scheduled to go into production later this year.
· Auditions For Vocal Band · Think you've got what it takes? With no apologies to American Idol, Ran is currently auditioning talented local young singers to form an 6-10 member teen vocal band that he will take into the studio to record two of his new songs, "Every 15 Minutes" and "Above And Beyond." The song "Every 15 Minutes" hammers home the message to teens that every 15 minutes, someone in the United States is killed in an alcohol-related traffic accident. Ran plans to have his vocal group travel to high schools in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey and perform as part of the school's "Every 15 Minutes" program - we have a link to the national "Every 15 Minutes" website on our lyric page. Singers of high school age who are interested in auditioning and live in the tri-county area of Berks, Montgomery and Chester counties in northwest Philadelphia should send an email to Info@UntamedHeart.com to request details.
Elsewhere on this website you will find pages where you can also read lyrics, order CD's, sheet music and accompaniment tracks, and where you can read the heart-warming stories behind some of Ran's songs.
