Description:
The music was written by Jonathan Gunton, a good friend of mine. He is an exetremely talented person and it was a really good experience to do something with him. The lyrics are my creation, I am not very good though at writing in english, but hey, I am trying and I hope I improve slowly. I composed the melody and recorded with Len Gold's
help. I really hope you all enjoy the song:-))))

Feel free to comment and contact me!

Cheers!

Lyrics:
"Don't let me go"

Deep in my feelings
Love has a riddle to guess
Reaching my heaven
From the storm to shelter


Ocean of lyrics
You gave me the reasons to believe
Look at who we are really
And the beauty of sunset

Ch:
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Give me a reason to keep holding on
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Stay by my side tell me we're going strong
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Ohh


Teach me some lessons
How I can talk sense


Ch:repeat

Nice juxtaposition between the technosounds and the soft sensual voice of yours.

Enjoyable!

Great to hear that.I hope some of the effects didn't scare away some of you:-))))))cos they are strange...but,I think it is sounds fairly good!

I agree &mdash 03/11/08 - 02:37:47 PM
with you that Jonathan is very talented. I really like his unusual but very melodic and rhythmic music.
I adore your voice and am in awe of your vocal abilities. Not least of which is your ability to record these in one take and always be spot on.
I have listened to this about 3 times a day for the past week and am still not bored by it. It really is radio ready and should be a hit. The chorus is really catchy and coupled with the music stays in your head.
I have enjoyed helping you with these immensely and look forward to doing more.
Love
Len

I agree that Jo has got to do some more stuff cos he has got a potencial there.

right then becca.. &mdash 03/11/08 - 03:45:20 PM
about the writing in english thing ... sometimes think there is a beauty of lyric when words and rythems have some space to other than expected. you lyrics are pretty great and would not change a thing about them. Wonderful voice .. the kinda voice that can soar and play some is obvious ... mark of a great vocalist. your partner johnathan has given you a great song to fly from and the hooks are there ... so ... but do i really like this tune?....... yeah .. i do.
BTW nice production on the mix!

[ Reply to This ]
that is great! &mdash 03/11/08 - 04:18:37 PM
That is sooo great you like the tune,and my voice(I still think I could've done better vocally)I thought to put more harmonies there and things....but then I thought that the song itself has got so many effects and it is not gonna go with all of that.So I have decided to leave just one main vocal,and just some bits along the song.Hope it sounds alright.

Thank you for this comment,and support(writing in english).I will do more writing to improve!

Cheers!!!

fantastic &mdash 03/11/08 - 07:01:39 PM
i have to say - your voice is truly fabulous! it can be soft, it can be airy, it can have punch and power. you can sound exotic and also like the girl next door. love that little vocal curlicue on "don't let me GO O O OO." you chose quite a unique piece of music to sing to, and somehow it worked wonderfully. your song is being played in California - can you hear the applause?

get to hear a female vocal that is done nice and sweet.

Hope you keep uploaded. We need ya hear to add more balance to us men :)

Interesting sounds especially about half way. For a few seconds I heard some very special quirky sounds and then further along I am hearing some howling and things that I've never heard before but was fun.

Plus fun singing!

Thanks for sharing!

But I am glad that the quality is even better then the last few songs we did with Len as his skills are getting better each time in with recording!

I really like your use of the various efx/instrumentation and the texture of the piece as a whole. I wouldn't have said this would work, but you pulled the individual pieces together to make a very well done big picture. Your vocal performance is spot-on and the mix works really well.

Great sound, reminded me a little of Royksopp and Goldfrap (spellings?) - cool electro pop. You should try submitting this to a record company.
