Artist picture
English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
One of my all time favourite songs is REM's Everybody Hurts...and I wanted to write something in a similar vein, to give hope to those who feel hopeless, lonely or lost....I showed Mark this lyric....he didn't change a single word.
Lyrics
Stand With The Living by Dawn Sinclair Music Mark Ellis v1 Do you need us to hear? Got our ears to the ground Whisper words in our ears And we won't hear a sound But the grinding of the Earth as it's gravity bound Is a desperate sound Is a desperate sound br Hold out your hand and take what we're giving It's not your time yet, so stand with the living ch Unless we have Faith In something that's greater Unless we can trust What the ancients have said Unless we hold on for the great liberator We might as well give up And count ourselves dead V2 Do you want us to see? Got our eyes to the right Show us how to get free From this endless black night When the tides of the moon Makes a wall of the sea What hope can there be What hope can there be br Hold out your hand and take what we're giving It's not your time yet, so stand with the living ch Unless we have Faith In something that's greater Unless we can trust What the ancients have said Unless we hold on for the great liberator We might as well give up And count ourselves dead So: Hold out your hand and take what we're giving It's not your time yet, so stand with the living
