Lyrics
Spanish Skies (Music & Lyrics by Craig Halkett)

Chorus
From the moment that I saw you
Underneath those Spanish Skies
I loved everything about you
There was magic in your eyes

You were sent to me from heaven
Sent by someone up above
For you made my life worth living
When you gave to me your love

Chorus

In my heart a fire’s burning
Only you can calm the flame
Hope I feel this way forever
And I hope you feel the same

Chorus

When I tell you that I love you
And that we will never part
These are not just words I’m saying
For I’m speaking from my heart

Chorus

Love is but a flaming candle
Burning brightly giving light
It may be out by the morning
But you’ll be by my side tonight

Chorus

Great.

Hi
Craig this is sooo delightful and you are a brilliant song writer, too.
your lyrics are so cool. You sing as though those words are for every woman on the planet ah ha. I also love to hear a powerful voice and you certainly have that. And love the guitar. Thank you for sharing your wonderful voice and your lovely love songs.

Peace Dee

Nice ballad Craig ..
.. in the "old style" ;) A few nits on the production front: the LH vocal seems to be clipping throughout (or maybe that's the result of some sort of fx). To me the LHS unison vocal seems pretty superfluous - if it was a harmony, then it would be worth fiddling with to get it sounding right, but to me at least, as it is it detracts from your very good lead vocal.

I like the simplicity of this, and would love to hear a remix, as the song, your lead vocal and the guitars sound like they have real potential.

Cheers,
Neil

Ok but?


We woman are not all 'Psycho Bitches from Hell'
you brought other woman into your little joke back with Craig and that was certainly not very proffesional.
Indeed
I actually did find it quite offence personally speaking.
Anyhow I think as far as I am concerned, this is now the end of the matter.

Peace

Re: Thanks lightman
Hi Graig

I think you did .... Best to keep it in a note. Just an advice, use it or not ..... up to you.

Still a nice song, though. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice tune
I agree with Neil about the vocal clipping in places but the song is really lovely and the vocals are great. The vocals kind of remind me of the late American singer/songwriter Gene Clark
Good stuff

Well, I'll just sidestep the controversy and say this is a lovely song! I kind of agree with Neil about the vocals clipping a wee bit, but I'm not sure I would've noticed it so much if I hadn't been looking for it per Neil's comment (that trouble maker). You have a gentle voice, very nice guitar, good job.
