Love this song - it has got an eastern touch and really original - great vocal and lyrics :-).

wonderful production & collab ))) just beautiful .. bravo )

Had to come back for another listen! This is one of my all time favorites on SC! Just wonderful! :)

her vocal is fantastic. and i can find myself even eager to learn much more about mixing after listening to what u did with this one. the way the vocal sometimes pushed back with more reverbs is awesome... i need to find a way how to do that :)

Lyrics:

I'm living in the moment 
But I'm longing for the past 
And passion that took over me 
Yet somehow couldn't last

I feel your touch when I'm alone (when I'm alone) 
I hear you call my name (when you call my name) 
I long for you - just one more night 
No guilt...no harm...no blame...

We've both moved on with someone else 
And that's what will be 
But thoughts of you, they haunt my mind 
Locked deep inside of me

I see you when I close my eyes 
My dreams - you do live in 
My days are spent without you 
At night - we meet again

I long for you - just one more night 
No guilt...no harm...no blame...

And now the past has come and gone 
For now that's where you stay 
But in my mind...and in my heart 
You're never far away

I'll never lose the memories 
From where we did begin 
I'll never say goodbye to you 
...until we meet again.

I long for you - just one more night...

Remember The Moment

"OpenAI/ChatGPT review":
"Dream of Cabo" is an instrumental piece that evokes the magic and romance of a sunset rendezvous in one of the world's most beautiful destinations. From the very first notes, the music transports you to a place of pure joy and happiness, evoking images of sandy shores, crystal clear waters, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

The music is led by a smooth and soulful Rhodes piano, which sets the mood with its rich, warm tones. The trumpet adds an extra layer of depth and emotion, soaring above the rest of the instrumentation with its bright, vibrant sound. Together, these two instruments create a soundscape that is both dreamy and uplifting, perfect for anyone looking for a little romance and adventure in their lives. 

It's a song that celebrates the magic of love and the power of dreams, and it's sure to be a favorite for anyone looking for a little escape from the daily grind.

Dream Of Cabo

THE RETURN OF LIGHT
The freezing night is still and thick, but it’s darkness will soon be broken,
The end of longest day ahead and the start of a the new day to come. 
Amidst the snow and biting air, the heartbeat holds steady, 
Anticipating Spring ahead and what the new light of day holds unspoken.

The dancing rays, sky set aglow, bring warmth and light, 
Languor and strife come to a peaceful end, 
Bringing in a change, whence the days will start to bright. 
The solstice, half way through the season, gives a happy mend.

The promising return of warm and gold, 
Sparkles of life and beauty, both will unfold. 
The spiral of life and gift of hope, 
Breathes fresh life into the lands that we roam.

-Dan

Last summer we published "Only Dancing" - https://soundcloud.com/peter-bennborn-project/only-dancing-by - a jazzy duet, depicting a brief romance (to put it politically correct).

Fool Me Twice (ft. Coco G Diez, Derek Cornett, Wayne Morley, Jonny Trobro & Walter Kelleher)

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...
