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
Yeah, the world's in a mess ...it began so well, then went through a bit of a battering at the hands of humanity...but human beings are not alone...are they? There is always hope and there IS going to be peace tonight!!
Lyrics
There's Gonna Be Peace Tonight words Dawn Sinclair music Mark Ellis 1 In the morning of mankind there was hope and there was light all the colours in the garden gorgeous hues for our delight then temptations marred perfection Adam made the wrong selection but he begged for new direction making honest genuflection Chorus so so so so soooooooooooooooooooo Theres gonna be peace tonight cuz He made everything alright 2 In the noontime of mankind we still had optimistic light all the colours of the people gorgeous hues for our delight then, intentions some men traded greed behind the faces shaded through the trenches mankind waded Until a ray of hope invaded Chorus so so so so sooooooooooooooooo There’s gonna be peace tonight cuz He made everything alright 3 In the eventide of mankind when we are searching for the light all the colours of the future gorgeous hues for our delight we hold on to one another to our sister and our brother only then can we recover and our true faith rediscover Chorus so so so so sooooooooooooooooo There’s gonna be peace tonight cuz He made everything alright outtro And if you ever have a doubt Just what this world is all about Then turn your face to see the light and He’ll make everything alright There’s gonna be peace tonight

Hi Dawn, Mark, Saw this new Mark treasure. Dawn your lyrics are always so good and I always enjoy Marks music. His stuff is so melodic and reminds me so much of Sir Paul in Wings. Another great collab.. Didnt think Mark was doing much these days. Great to hear this one.
Dawn, You are a great writer! I just love your poetic lyrics. What masterful writing in this great song. Great collab between you and Mark.
