You had me with the story of Orpheus...kept me with those gorgeous vocals and string arrangement. WOW!!

Nice song, good idea about the Orpheus theme with the old film of Jean Cocteau.

Gros coup de coeur pour cette chanson❤️

Vraiment top comme idée , c'est super bien foutu ce morceau . Bravo  tous 👍

Just wonderful, music, instrumentation, arrangement, vocals and lyrics! 

Hi Mark, this is brilliant. Sorry not been on SC for an age, this is the first track I've clicked on this time round - and congratulations, it's top class all round. Love the folk content, vocals & instrumentation. All gets in me good and proper. :)

Our friend, Mark agreed to write lyrics of a song for us. i was very inspired by his work. we discovered we both had
a great admiration for Jean Cocteau. This song and the video clip i made, are a kind of tribute to this great poet ! Thank you, Mark for your awesome work !

here are the wonderfull lyrics : 
Orpheus_I’m adrift on the ocean,
		Without you.
		There’s no telling what I’d do,
		Without you.

Orpheus_I will come to you,

Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.

Orpheus_On the other side,

Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_And reverse the tide,
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_To bring you back with me,
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.
Orpheus_Bring you back with me.
Eurydice_Oh, oh, oh.

Orpheus_Your eyes draw me like beacons through the dark

Eurydice_Darkness draws like a veil over my eyes 

Orpheus_Ever deeper ever darker 

Eurydice_Ev-er…..  Ev-er…

Orpheus_Ever deeper, ever darker 

Eurydice_Ev-er…..  Ev-er…

Orpheus_Ever bleaker, ever darker 

Eurydice_Ever bleaker  Ever darker

Eurydice_Reunited with you dear,
		Hold me near.
		We will never escape here,
		Such is my fear.

Orpheus_We can make it together,
		Trust in me.
Both_Then we will be together, Forever more. 

Eurydice_I’ll follow behind, 
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_You look straight ahead, 
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_Now we’re almost there,
Orpheus_Oh, oh, oh.
Eurydice_No, don’t look at me.
Orpheus_No, no, no.
Eurydice_No, don’t look at me.
Orpheus_No, no, no.

Orchestral passage representing Orpheus's grief 

Orpheus_I’m adrift on the ocean,
	Without you.
	There’s no telling what I’d do,
	Without you.
