Many years – the collaborations -

At the end of the year we all have something to look back upon. I looked back at the many years behind me and made my personal musical reflection in this piece of music: a instrumental, latin pop kind of track with a special Spanish ‘fire’ in the middle.

This is a list of collaborations that came to stand with the original instrumental (down the list) with likely more to follow..

The original is open for collaboration and I still look forward to hear your beautiful vocals, trumpet, sax, percussion, lead guitar or whatever you think will fit best to the track. Make it a hip-hop rap, add your vocal angels, give it a different style or whatever you like :) and upload it to you profile. No need to ask me about it. I would very much like to hear your end version of course! :))

If you need a different mix for your production please let me know. I can send you a version without drums or with a lower guitar level. A non-mastered mix is available as well. BPM = 75.434(Spanish break is less tight).

Guys, enjoy the listens and/or make your own version and have fun with it :)

Mike

What I hope for in the end is a sweet list of open collaborations and if not I am still content. Reflecting my feelings in music is a dear thing to me and always has been. Guys enjoy the music, get creative if you can and have a very nice holydays and ending of the year!

Many Years - MIKE SPRING And Spade♤

Thank you, Mike Spring, for this collaboration! We hope you all enjoy the wonderful sounds! https://soundcloud.com/mike-spring
Music and lovely guitar: Mike Spring
Lyrics and vocals: Lisa West/Faerytale

Many Years
A song was heard from afar upon the mountains to the sea
Kings and princes were lost in pursuit
Of a whispered melody
Some gave up the search calling it legend
Some grew to fear the sound
Until a mighty man, lost in deep sleep was awakened
His heart was unbound
[Chorus]
He said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine
Many years is not enough time
You were calling, I couldn't see
I was lost in a dark reverie.'
[ ]
He searched known realms, but when the song faded
Turned to a foreign place
Arriving where many roads meet, he saw a lovely face
She did not know he watched her there
As love overcame him, sweet
For the melody long sought for sprang from her dancing feet
[Chorus]
She said, 'I'm going to dance and you'll follow me
If you can dance along, there may be a kiss, we'll see.'
He followed her every move, didn't miss a step
She said, 'Kiss me, you'll be mine. Many years is not enough time.'

Many Years - 2016  - Mike Spring On Guitar (Feat. Heidi - Marie Arapa on Piano Accordion & Violin

A poignant and melancholy melody, an amazing Spanish guitar by Mike Spring (@mike-spring) inspired me to add two saxophones and a double bass (key). It was been pure fun. I hope some emotion will come to you by this track.
I want to thank Mike for giving me this opportunity.
Thank you for taking  time to listen
