I'm Fine

This is another song that I co-wrote with a member from SongwriterLink.  This time around, a Canadian named Aisha De Freitas got in touch with me to ask about working on a song together.  Of course I said yes, and we pretty much exchanged emails straight away to get down to business.  The song's original concept was going to be about two people who split apart and went somewhere in a cave or an open place to sort things out.  Then I made the suggestion of it being about a long distance relationship instead, due to our geographical locations in the world.  Of her initial lyrics that she sent me, only the chorus remained unchanged.  In addition to writing the lyrics, she also came up with her own melodic parts to sing.  I did likewise with my own, as well as taking care of the audio production side of things.  We agreed that the song should have a 1980s vibe with a modern feel, with electric piano chords and a catchy hook heard throughout.  We are both so proud of how her first ever co-written song turned out, and this has inspired her to started working with other songwriters as well.

My Echo (co-written with Aisha De Freitas)

Originally penned when I fell for Ben (in Australia) but didn't know our future together. Demoed with David Mills in his home studio in Esh Winning while waiting in UK with band The Mercy Bell to secure a new deal in the USA. It is the closing song of the promo of my unfinished documentary "Seven Sisters...including me". Someone heard it and wanted it uploaded, as it is unreleased, so here ya go. x

Ê Ê LAO Ê

VOU REZAR PRA IEMANJÁ
PRA MANDAR ME ABENÇOAR

Ê Ê LAO Ê

MINHA JANGADA VAI PARTIR
SETE MARES VOU RODAR

Ê Ê LAO Ê

SOU UM POBRE SONHADOR
PASSO TEMPO A IMAGINAR

Ê Ê LAO Ê

EU PRECISO DE UM AMOR
VOU CRIAR, ME INSPIRAR


VOU ME MOLHAR
VOU APLAUDIR O SOL
SEM SAIR DO MEU LUGAR

EI, CADÊ VOCÊ
TÔ TENTANDO PREENCHER
O ESPAÇO QUE ME HÁ

HOJE VOU ME PERDER
VOU ME EMBRIAGAR
VOU ERRAR, VOU ACERTAR
