A singer, songwriter and musician with deep Maine roots has released his first album of new material since 1992. Ray Pasnen’s “Change Your Mind” features 12 new pop, country and country-rock songs from the Medway native who currently resides in Minden, Germany.

Maine and Atlantic Canada music fans remember Pasnen as frontman for the wildly popular band Choice. Ray’s natural charisma and powerfully dynamic voice contributed greatly to their success. Choice spent much of the 1990s canvassing the state to play most every bar and club, DAV and VFW hall and Elks Club to packed houses. The personalities of each band member, including that of guitarist Jack Swanson, kept Choice fans in stitches as they danced the night away.

Pasnen says his new album was a labor of love that he completed with help from a number of close friends and even the German government.

A Woman Like You – written by Ray Pasnen (Pasanen)

intro: C G | E- D | G C | A- G/B C C/D

C G E- D G C E- D
She’s a little too wild.  Dancing to a beat that nobody hears.
C G E- D G C E- D
She’s her own child.  Shying from the world when I gets too near.
C G/B A- A-7 G/B
And she’d gladly give you an inch, if you have her a mile.

C G E- D G C E- D
She’d love to stay but she’s got so many places to be all the time.
C G E- D G C E-
She’ll believe what you say. But don’t blame her if she doesn’t buy every
D
line.
C G/B A- A-7
And I’ve never known her to ever stand in my way…

C G D E-
Well, I want to be bound to a woman like you.
C G D
You’re the kind that could last through the season.
C G D E-
And I want to be found with a woman like you.
C G D
You’re the kind that could give me a reason
C G F C G C E- D
To go round and round and round and round with a woman like you.
G C C/D
With a woman just like you…

She loves to dance to a little bit of country and rock and roll.
She’ll take the chance at unpredictable moments and bare her soul.
And she likes to think she believes in true romance

Chorus

A- E- Dsus4 D G
At the end of a hard earned day she captures me.
A- E- C/D D/E
And just the touch of her hand is all it takes to set me free

(Now Key of A)
Chorus
