Lyrics:

Balin’s Lament

By the foot of the mountain
Two children at play
Brothers as different
As night and as day
When twilight comes creeping
They get into their beds
And I tuck in their blankets
And kiss their sweet heads

For the eyes of children
Will never grow old
And the stone is black and cold

By the foot of the mountain
Now with daggers and bow
Brothers in arms into battle will go
At night by the campfire
They’ll laugh and they’ll sing
While my thoughts are on
What tomorrow may bring

For the eyes of children
Will never grow old
And the stone is black and cold

By the foot of the mountain
Two brothers now lay
Their weapons in hand
And their gaze far away
Once more, for the last time
I kiss their sweet heads
As I weep for the children
I once tucked into bed

Hardwell presents Revealed Vol. 6 → http://hwl.dj/REVRVol6
Hardwell - United We Are (Album) → http://bit.ly/UNITEDWEARE

Following up on his latest release ‘Everybody Is In The Place’, which hit the #1 position in the Beatport chart in the first week of its release and has become a fan-favourite during recent I AM HARDWELL shows, Dutch maestro Hardwell is releasing his remix of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Ping Pong’.

Never originally intended for release, Armin’s ‘Ping Pong’ song has grown organically into a life of its own. Spawned from an idea to set a special mind-blowing 3D graphics moment apart during his globally renowned Armin Only show, the ‘Ping Pong’ song has since snatched the attention of fans not just at the show but also across the socials. In a bid to give this fan-favourite something extra Armin has called in a favour from his long-time buddy and fellow countryman, Hardwell.

Delivering all the added progressive house-tinged potency desired, Hardwell’s signature sound simply emanates from the core of Armin’s original to give the track a coating of big room house that will have your sense rebounding from pillar to post.

Given its world premiere during his Ultra Music Festival closing set, which to date has received over 2.5 million views on YouTube, Hardwell’s interaction with the crowd had them clambering for the skies with hands ricocheting from side-to-side before the drop threw the audience into a rapturous wave of energy and unleashing another Hardwell remix hit. Due out on Armada 28th April Hardwell’s cut of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Ping Pong’ is a sure-fire festival anthem ready for the summer season..

This songcollab come up when I was listen at  Sean Doran's http://soundcloud.com/something-memorable great songs at SC, the lyrics and his Irish feeling and his way to sing them really touched me.
When he asked me, if I liked to do a collab with him, I got really happy. The song he worked with that wasn´t ready, it needed more lyrics and maybe some changes with the music too. The words came up when I heard Seans start of the song and I wrote some verses and also the end on the song.
Then we have some good help from www.soundcloud.com/patrikneriksson He worked with the music Sean has written, and he  plays the guitars and harmonica. Sean plays the lovely whistle, and he and I sing together.
Hope you will enjoy, I think I´m the happy one here, who leared a lot when we doing this song together. Big thanks to Sean for giving me the opporttunity to be a part of this song Also thanks to Pat who always listen to me and stand by my side, supporting me with an open heart.
Here comes the lyric.
As the Crow flies

Our paths they have twisted, and moved apart for so long
Yet still I miss you, your smile that kept me warm.
Lives finds such different roads, throgh they have the same start.
But as the black crow flies, are we really far apart?

Regrets, well they smoulder, longer than they should.
Decisions I avoided, and how they come to no good.
The love I let slip. How could I miss what was mine?
The crow in me yearns to fly back to that time.

Crow fly, Crow fly on
Tell her she is still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once she loved me, tell me, if that chance has gone.

I stand by the mirror, of the quiet lake.
In a memory reflected, your face comes awake.
Your searching finds me,your yearning calls to me.
I hear wings break the clouds, is it you come back to me.

Once we were happy, once we were whole.
Whispers of love and a closeness of souls.
There we were gathered, and there I let us come undone.
Why couldn´t I recognise true love, until you were gone.

Crow fly, Crow fly on
Tell her, she´s still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once she loved me, tell me, if that chance has gone.

Is it too late to hope you still know how much I cared.
To picture us again laughing at those memories we share.
The crow flies straight to where our love began.
He can leave behind shadows, I hope let him, you can.

And in the nights dephts, I fly high above.
Thruu dreams remembering how we shared our love.
All sorrows lift away, no more tears in my heart.
My eyes will shine for you, when we are not apart.

Crow fly, Crow fly on.
Tell her, she´s still the lovely only one.
Crow fly, Crow fly on
Once I loved her, can it be that all that love is gone?

Fly high, crow fly on
All our tears are memories, all our fear is gone.
We´ll fly so high, together as one.
Fly high, Fly high, We are one.
