A beautiful work, the voice suits the song very well, it's impressive.

This is a great sounding pop song! Really catchy. Nice job!

Eight years ago, I found my birth mother after years searching. It was wonderful and we got to know each other before her passing two years ago. I wrote her a lyric back then called 'I Found You,' which she loved. Well, that lyric has now been set to music.

It took a long, long time
Some would say forever
But I searched and searched again
So please, please never say never
Please never say never

I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
After years lost out in the wild
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again

Many things I didn’t know
Some would say for better
But I’m glad to know you now
So let’s spend what’s left together
Let’s spend what’s left together

I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again
I found you
Let’s never lose each other again

I am complete and whole again
Legitimate once more
I am complete and whole again
The soul from which I bore
(Wouooooo)

I feared that you were cold
I’m so happy I was wrong
So much, so much I want to learn
But now I’m lost in song
But now I’m lost in song
 
I found you, I found you, I found you, I found you
I’m no longer the motherless child
I found you
I’ll never be lonely again
I found you
Let’s never lose each other again

I am complete and whole again
Legitimate once more
I am complete and whole again
The soul from which I bore
(Wouooooo)

I feared that you were cold
I’m so happy I was wrong
So much, so much I want to learn
But now I’m lost in song
But now I’m lost in song

I Found You

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
