Solid song on delicate means, really touching!

you both did good. you could layer this thing to death but it works really good as is.

Beautiful Marie. Such an endearing composition with John's lyrics.

John sent me these lyrics a while ago and with his permission I started playing around with a melody and today I decided it was now or never... and I just recorded it... wanting to have something really simple - lofi... something magical happened...

Lyrics: John Eagle 
Music and Vox: Marie Fontaine

Let’s Be Together

From the first day we met
It was you
Just as you said goodbye
I knew
It was you

When I heard the ship’s blast
I knew it was bon voyage
But I do hope you come back

When we are together
Let’s be together
However painful it may be
When we part

Now you have your pictures
Tied up in lace
I have my memories
Of your smiling face

The beach had a mystery
An Arab moon at night
Hung from gun-barrel sky
As we bathed in its light

And now, when we're together
Let’s be together
However painful it may be
When we part

The beginning is only that
A place to start 
And love is not a handkerchief
Waved from a rail above

We each have a sky
To gaze upon at night
The Dog Star waits for us
Our beacon in the light

So let’s be together
When we’re together
Even though we part
Let’s be together
If only in our hearts
If only in our hearts….

Commonwealthgirrl | Singer/Songwriter
Music runs in my blood—raised in Canada with a DJ dad who sparked my love for studios, records, and mics. From flute and choir to secret late-night radio shows, storytelling and song have been my life.
I fuse Country, Jazz, Pop, and Swing into raw, honest tracks—all home-produced with keyboard, ukulele, and simple gear. Influenced by legends like Johnny Cash, Daniel Lanois, and Rickie Lee Jones.
Check out my debut EP The Real Commonwealthgirrl (2021), singles Christmas Time (2022) and The Proof (St. Patrick’s Day 2024). In August 2025, I hit a songwriting retreat in Nashville— I'm ready to bring a fresh batch of new songs your way.
Thanks for listening—LIFE IS IMPROV.
