Hello all...
It's been a while - struggled to get anything out my DAW.... it's littered with unfinished productions but this one seems to have escaped out the other end...
I read the feedback thread and though I'm fairly crap at reviewing myself, I do invite as much in the way of feedback as possible.. As always the extremely patient
@Jambrains has lent me his ears for feedback on arrangement / mix but I've spared him later mixes on this as I (largely) seem to have moved the level of the whistle up and down
.. I suspect it's too loud in this version but, well, be brutal please... I could spend another week tweaking this but I'd prefer at this point to get some feedback from your good selves..

You play the serious, the grave
It’s a cover you create
Something’s hidden in the way
You take me gently with such care
Like I’ll break if you let go
What is it I have not been told
Have you been on this earth before?
How did it end, or should I know?
Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears
I know your laughter it can ring
And your lilting voice will sing
If your darkness ever lifts
As you cast the past adrift
I’ll be right here to k eep your place
As you float through time and space
To where you finally are free
To come back home to me
Cos you’ve been on this earth before
This time the ending’s one I know
Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears
We can miss or we can score
The time is ours to take and hold
The past is gone, our future clear
If we dare to promise what we dream
Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears
