Welcome to my sanctuary of song!

My name is Terry Sam. My objective is to create music that leaves a good taste in your ear.

This is a songwriter's website, not a performing/recording artist's site. I do not yet have the music gear and the technical know-how to make recordings that have that contemporary “big-budget” sound, but I’m working hard to get closer to it. In the meantime, I hope that listeners will listen to the quality of the music and lyrics and not be distracted by the quality of the mix and recording. Also, at the present time I’m doing all of the instruments and vocals myself until I can afford to hire others who can do a much better job playing and singing than I can.

I'm presenting these songs that I've composed with the hope that other singers and musicians will see them as attractive vehicles for performing and recording. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to cover some of this music. Or if you'd like to leave some feedback you can visit the guestbook area.

If you'd like to read the lyrics while you listen to the music, click the "Music" tab above, then click on the title of the song you want to listen to and the lyrics will appear.

I’ve named myself TribuTerry Sam because I view my music as “a stream that flows into a larger stream” in more ways than one, like a tributary. I also view my music as a humble tribute of sorts to all those who have nurtured, inspired and enlightened me with their care, music and wisdom.
