Hi all - Something a bit different from us this time. Usually when we collaborate I will send a backing track to Cécile for her to write lyrics to and to find a vocals melody line. Recently though Cécile has started to get some backing tracks together and last week she sent me a lovely soulful backing track as a starting point. I added some more instruments, wrote the lyrics and did a vocal on this one. It's a retro sounding soul based track so hope that it hits the spot.
Also we managed to pop it on to our new album release that has just gone live on Bandcamp - Feel free to grab a copy if you wnat, it's a freebie

Far too many tears
Shed over the years
Living all alone
Can't make it on my own
Take me sailing on a silver sea
Show me again just what you mean to me
It's time to love before it gets too late
Tell me again, cos this heart ain't made to break
Oh I've been sailing,on this sea of love
I thank the stars in the sky above
I've leaned to love and how to live again
And on this sea of love we're going to remain
(Break with trumpet)
Oh I've been sailing,on this sea of love
I thank the stars in the sky above
I've leaned to love and how to live again
And on this sea of love we're going to remain
Going to remain
(Keyboard break)
Why did I have to wait all of this time
I know for sure right now, you're going to be mine
I searched everywhere high and low
I'm going to shout it out, I've got to let you know
Oh I've been sailing,on this sea of love
I thank the stars in the sky above
I've leaned to love and how to live again
And on this sea of love we're going to remain
(Sax Solo)
Sailing, sailing,on this sea of love
I thank the stars in the sky above
I've leaned to love and how to live again
And on this sea of love we're going to remain
(Keyboard end)
