This is lovely and very clever Karen. I love the way you use the time signature to conjure up a jazzy feel. Absolutely top quality work from you and great to hear a new one from you 😀

I really like the cabaret/show tunes feel here -- it calls Laura Groves, Kate Bush & Tori Amos to mind.  The 12/8 keeps it bouncing & light even with a serious tone. The arrangement & production are excellent-- the panning of the subtle parts keeps them subtle but ear grabbing.  Nice work!

Great track with a Kate Bush feel to it. So nice

Superb song and a perfect realization. Beautiful voice. Excellent. Bravo..

The old man deserves an extra pint of Guinness for his excellent bass work. My treat, Ill owe ya! Fantastic lyrics. Love the gentle dynamic climb and subtle widening of the panning, bloody marvellous they are. There are so many fab synth counter melodies that add the extra depth as and when needed. The last chorus synth strings being a prime example. And the whistle always delivers that haunting vibe. Wonderfully moving harmonies. Finally, this, imo, is one of your finest vocals. Your voice sounds gorgeous. I feel like youve been holding this in for quite some time and let it all go. The passion, drowning, treading the audio water. Delete, re-record, start again, its all been so worth the hard work cause I can feel everything. Brilliant.

A total original composition. 100% classic Karen.  Music so obviously from the heart.

Verse 1
As I touch your trembling shoulder
I say love shouldn’t be this hard
You’re afraid to look at me
Scared I'll start
To make you talk, to make you think
Join the dots, find the link
You know that I won’t rest.. until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Verse 2
It’s not the nail, that’s all you see
So hand that hammer straight to me
You think that you've all the answers
But I know that you are wrong
So I will fight you, I will bite
I will find a way to prove what’s right
You know that I won’t rest…..until I…

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you...

Verse 3
I know you turn onto yourself
Silence every cry for help
Let darkness kill the pain
It did before, it will again
But I am here to disabuse you
Of that notion, of that cure
And my kindness might feel cruel
Because it’s new to you and I will….

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Bridge
I know it’s hard to surrender
It’s hard to be helped
But sometimes you have to accept
That you can’t fix yourself

Chorus
Heal You, separate reality from myth
Heal you, be your rock, erase your sins
Heal you, starve the loss, and feed the wins
Heal you, heal you…

Heal You
