I enjoyed reading your note, Mark. I get the inspiration that a well-crafted instrumental draws out. I love Procol Harum, too, and can easily hear that musical reference. Easy listening melody and  the longing in the lyrics fits so well! :)

this song is very sweet and sensitive -very beautiful

Beautiful song with heartfelt vocals! I love it!

Having just listened to the original, I can see why you fell in love with it and were quickly inspired. Beautiful tender vocals reflecting the emotional lyrics Mark, and superbly spoken at the end! Magic collab from you and Pascal

NO SAD SONG WHEN I'M ALONE

A few weeks ago I first heard https://soundcloud.com/user-369089703/stay-original and could already feel the words filling my head before it had finished playing. The song reminded me of a favourite band of mine, Procol Harum because of the piano/organ arrangement. I asked if I could try to make a collaboration out of this wonderful melody and Pascal kindly agreed. Thank you so much for the opportunity Pascal and thank you for listening.

Stay just a little closer,
Take me in your arms until the morning has come.
Bring me just a little closer,
Who knows what the day might yet become?

Soon it will be dawn,
And will the dream be gone?
Why is it that we cannot make it last,
Forever?

Stay just a little longer,
Hold me in your arms until the morning has come.
Hold me just a little longer,
Who knows what the day might yet become?

Stay, stay, stay, stay

Now it’s close to dawn,
Why can’t we carry on?
Why is it that we cannot make it last,
Forever?

Stay just a little longer,
Hold me in your arms until the morning has come.
Hold me just a little longer,
We know only too well what’s to come.

Please stay

I HARDLY SPEAK INUKTIKUT
AND NOT A SINGLE WORD OF YUPIK
ALTHOUGH I LOVE THE BARREN LANDS
FROM POND INLET TO KIPNUK

BUT ANYWAY IN ANY TONGUE
I’D LOVE TO SING THIS SONG ALONG
WITH HARSHA AND WITH ALL MY HEART
IN MEMORY OF OLD STADTPARK

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

DON’T MIND ME SHUFFLING ALL IN ONE
THE ONES YOU CARRY IN YOUR HEART
YOUR KIDS YOUR STEPSON AND YOUR MUM
YOUR ZOEY OLD PET IN THE STARS

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

AND WHEN THE WEATHER TOLD YOU SO
THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO GO
YOU TOOK A TEN HOURS RIDE ON SLEDGE
OVER THE FROZEN TUNDRA

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT
AT LAST YOUR LOVE HAS COME ALONG`
LONELY DAYS ARE A LONG TIME GONE
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A SONG ?

WITH MY WARMEST REGARDS TO RUBY

ALL THE BEST TO YOU LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT

LADOROTHY RAYCNE LIGHTFOOT (Lyrics) Song for LaDorothy...

This song was written for anyone who is not able to be with the one they love. Being at a distance from a special someone means you have to find ways to stay in touch.

thanks to primcron 100 for writing the instrumental and asking me to sing on it.  The original title was cyber mile and that is how I got the idea for the lyrics. I thought of a couple in love who had to be in a long distance relationship

I wrote and recorded this over a year ago when we were still in lockdown so it really helped me to imagine what this would be like for such a couple.

be sure to support the version my collaborator put out which has over 2200 plays :)

LYRICS:
The king said to the pauper 
How I wish I was like you 
Then I would not have to worry about 
The things a king must do

The pauper smiled and said well
I suppose that must be so
But some would say that being a king
Beats begging in the snow

The king looked to the distance
Said I see your point of view
But you must know that being a king 
Can be a burden too

The pauper nodded gently 
Said, I’m sorry for your pain
But some would rather bear that burden
Than be homeless in the rain

The king said to the pauper
Tell me what are we to do
It seems to me that I could learn
A thing or two from you

The pauper thought a while and said 
It might seem I've nothing to lose
But we might hear a different story 
From a man who has no shoes

The two men bid farewell 
To their different lives returned
And some will ask what happens 
When the page gets turned 

When the stars all realign
What will tomorrow bring
Is the king become a pauper
Or the pauper now a king?

3 days, no shower. 1 song, full power. 🚿✨ This track is the smell of depression, psychosis, and procrastination bottled into a beat. Warning: may cause you to want to bathe immediately. 🧼👃😂

The Shower Song

This is the last one of 44 songs I wrote with my mom’s Spanish guitar in my university years, songs I’ve been arranging and posting to SC for the last 6 years (I’ve skipped 4 of them which will become a conceptual album soon).

I’m so glad to have https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson’s help on polishing the English texts and lending her vocal and painting arts to such an important song for me.

Also must credit https://soundcloud.com/user-498459842 for kindly and freely mastering the track.
 
CANCIÓN TRISTE CUANDO ESTOY SOLO (SAD SONG WHEN I’M ALONE)

Canción triste cuando estoy solo, para que sepas que yo nunca me iré.
Canción triste por todo lo que amo, último recuerdo de lo que pudo ser.

Sad song when I'm alone, so that you know I will never be gone.
Sad songs for all I love, are the last reminders of my ancient glow.

Do you think that someone somewhere else would ever care that I was here?
Do you think a future living man will give a damn for you and me?
Who could he be?

¿Piensas que a alguien a quien no conocí le importará si estuve aquí,
o no estuve yo?
¿Piensas que alguien que viva después se acordará de ti o de mí?
¿Quién podrá ser?

Canción triste…

¿Piensas que una nueva vida de amor nos bastará para creer,
para sentir?
¿Acaso te importa lo que piense la gente de mis intereses para morir por mí,
para morir por mí?

Do you think another life of love will be enough for us to see,
for us to feel?
Do you care what people really think about my pride, and will you die,
will you die with me?

Sad song…

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
