Paul Santa Maria

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Hearing "Chanson d'amour" on my parent's little 45 single player. It opened my ears to musical changes that were uncommon - like raised chords, augmented, diminished. They fascinated me and that's why I love the Beatles and specifically McCartney! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King (Expanded Edition) Return to Forever, Returns (feat. Al Di Meola, Chick Corea, Lenny White and Stanley Clarke) The Beatles, Beatles For Sale Mind-blowing compositions and superhuman playing abilities for Crimson and Corea and The Beatles for a lifetime of inspiration. Check out my songs on Apple Music - you'll see influences from all these bands! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “A Snake in the Driver's Seat” This song, above all my 700+, tickles me with the sheer madness of the lyrics, I love the way I performed the whole thing myself, because I love crafting music - the nuttier the better, but I love a good ballad too, - "Do You Have To Break My Heart"
