(tried to add a comment, but I don't think it got saved, so I will try again) ..... Since...hearing you first sing "Close Your Eyes" Barb, it is always playing in my head. I am just going to have to practice it and put my own interpretation (inspired by you and your band) out there.

This is gorgeous.  This sounds so cool.  My kind of music Barbara!

A beautiful piece of Jazz.  So glad I came by to listen.

Lyrics:

She walks alone
In a crowded port by the sea
Shopping for a gift for me

Across the bay
A steeple bell starts to sway
It chimes three times to mark midday

She hears, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

She turns around
Heads back through town
Humming quietly
What has she gotten for me?

The moon arises
Lapa comes alive
A sea of souls and samba floods the night

Against the tide
We work our way inside
To drink and dance and hold each other tight

She bends, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

Teresa’s heights
Mountain lights
Silent, flickering
She whispers delicately
The present is waiting for me

Lyrics:

Sundown
Underground
Dreams hold sway
Like quicksand
Distant lands
Can whisk your heart away

Gamelan bells ring where ancient Salsal towered
Oh would that I could softly sit where he stood.
Gossamer lights do their dance through northern nights
Above a frozen sea, I’ll go where they can do
Their dance
For me

Snowflakes
Morning breaks
Thoughts won’t stay
Like gold dust
Wanderlust
Can whisk a soul away

Kilimanjaro and Krakatoa rise so
Alone, so sky high, peak to peak just clouds fly.
Sailing to Bali or Bora Bora, seems like there is so much more
Around the great wide world
For me
To see

(Instrumental)

Roaming on foot through the ancient steppes I’ll wander
With Scythians riding, the Sun King rising.
Will I fly down to Rio or Angkor Wat?  I know not
If the Marianas or the Mirtoon Sea
Might call
To me

I'm a Jazz vocalist based in New Plymouth, New Zealand. I live in a beautiful country and feel so blessed to be able to travel and sing Jazz at different venues. I perform as a solo/duo "Coolazz" or band  at cafes, festivals, wineries, restaurants, etc.  Released 2012 my debut album 'Be Cool' and feel really honoured to have worked with some of New Zealand's top Jazz players. Produced and arranged  by Vaughn Roberts with a latin flavour to it. Out on CD Baby and ITunes.  Feel free to leave a comment and enjoy the music.
