This sounds great, Anoki!! Well done! It was a blast co-writing with you!! <3

Yes. Lovely collab. So great having both versions. Powerful theme. So good ;)

I really like the falling notes on 'you'.

This is really beautiful, great lyrics (and editing) and such a compelling guitar track!

Wonderful how the guitar rhythm is driving you forward, mimicking the great lyrics that way.  Also loved the vibrato of your voice at the end of a couple of phrases - hope to hear more of that in the future 😊

Great to hear you again!  Your voice goes very well with these lyrics!  Guitar is great, nice momentum.

I agree with Claes. Your vibrato is lovely, and I've love to hear you use it more deliberately as a resource to your vocals. Great work, you two!! This is an anthem to 2021.

A tremendous thank you to @deborah-kelly-676260696's imaginary and incredibly talented friend @erinwolf for bringing my lyrics (and suggesting minor edits to them) to life (and for contributing the guitar to this track).

Lyrics:

I’ll never forget the night we met,
When the winter sky was painted with stars,
We didn’t know it then,
God had a plan for us way back when.
 
With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.
 
I confess sometimes I’m lost easily,
And I don’t always know the right way to go,
But every time I followed the stars,
They would lead me back to you.
 
With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.

We’ve never been apart this long before,
I feel closer now more than ever,
And whenever we meet again,
It will feel as no time has passed at all.
 
With this bridge here before us,
Do we cross into the unknown?
We don’t know exactly what lies ahead,
There’s no one else I’d rather have beside me than you.
