Good tune!  Excellent vocals.  Shades of the 1980's.  Very cool!!!

Inspired work on this track, great influences

This is a song that I wrote in 1979 but never recorded until 1984. This is the first recording of this song.

RON SNYDER - When I Met You (1984 SOLO DEMO)

We three strangers walk in the rain
Carrying dreams no one can name
Street and storefront
Words unspoken
Trying to prove our worth again

Oh, look a moment, stay a while
See the craft, the truth, the trial
Quiet voices
Heavy choices
Waiting for one honest smile

Working hands that cut and sew
Shapes from scraps that start to glow
Softly selling
Stories telling
Hoping someone wants to know

Oh, look a moment, stay a while
See the hands, the work, the style
Quiet voices
Risking choices
Hoping someone stops to smile

Journals filled with clues and charts
Solving puzzles few can start
Numbers speaking
Answers peeking
No one hears the quiet heart

Oh, look a moment, stay a while
Share the spark, the flaw, the mile
Softer voices
Braver choices
Someone pauses, starts to smile

Notes that shimmer, low and bright
Songs that search for honest light
Joy and sorrow
Hope we borrow
Hiding dreams in plain sight

Oh, look a moment, stay a while
Hear the effort in each file
Softer voices
Careful choices
Someone lingers, just to smile

Side by side we share the street
Never slow, we never meet
Close but distant
Strange yet instant
Three reflections, bold and true.

Three small lanterns burning slow
Begging just a chance to show
What we're making
What we're aching
Who we are beneath the glow

Oh, look a moment, stay a while
Join the craft, the truth, the style
Many voices
Open choices
Now we make the world smile

Three Strangers (based on We Three Kings by John Henry Hopkins Jr)

[Verse 1]
Before I knew the sky had a name
Before I knew the fire burned the same
You called me out before I spoke
Words like embers words like smoke

Who am I to stand in your flame
Who am I to carry this name
A child lost with hands so small
But you whispered loud you whispered all

[Prechorus]
Not too young not too weak
Not too broken not too meek

[Chorus]
Before I knew you
You knew me
Before the stars
Before the sea
You planted fire
Inside these bones
Before I knew you
You called me home

[Verse 2]
Touch my lips with coals that sting
Give me words that cut and sing
I see nations rise and fall
A prophet’s voice is heard through it all

But my knees they shake my heart it hides
You stand strong while I divide
Can I run can I flee
You still call you still see

Before I Knew You (Duet Version)

Outrageous Outro 

Summer Lovin 1

Composer&lyricist, synths, melodica, vocals: Antoine G

This is a simple folk song, with a simple theme: an old woman waiting on the shore for her man - who will never come back

Lyrics:
In our home, I waited while you roamed the seas, 
Watched my hair turn silver as time moved like a breeze. 
Three times you returned, and four times you left, 
These sweet and bitter memories I cannot forget.

I stood by the shore and stared at the waves, 
Knowing each of them was a sailor's grave. 
And aching every time I saw a returning sail, 
Knowing that none of them belonged to my man.

And the years have passed and all beauty has passed, 
And I don’t have the courage for any other man
I’m just that crone on the shore that people pass  by, 
And  I’ve grown too wise for any other man.
(Interlude)

And the years have passed and all beauty has passed, 
And I could never love any other man
I’m just the crone on the shore and people pass me by
And in my heart, you’re still, still the only man.

And one day a wave will break at my feet
Carry me to the ocean, and there we will meet
Amongst the currents and the seaweed I will find my crown
I will be your queen again, in my love you will drown

Cover art: Jozef Israëls (1824–1911)  Fisherman's Wife at the Window

We build it in silence, we wait in control — and when the moment comes, we pull as hard as we can
