Description
I haven't done a proper acapella song for so long...in fact, I haven't SUNG for so long (at least, not properly, unless belting out in your bedroom counts!)

Still, I think I'm continually improving. (I can actually keep in tune a lot more easily, anyway!) I've been a member of MJ's for coming up to 4 years now, so this is a little thanks to everyone who's helped me get this far and engouraged me and given me feedback to help me improve. I'm working on something for September which will mark my 4th year here.

Lyrics
He sat alone upon a hill, the waves pulling at his side
He could feel the salt inside his veins and could hear the storm arrive

He closed his eyes and saw her face, so plain the others had decried
Yet he'd felt the warmth she'd held within and the beauty that lay inside

Yet their words soon blinded him, no beauty he began to believe
Oh he turned his back and he toasted them, he drank the world for all to see

No more will her palm lay upon his own, a fairer hand has clasped to his skin
'Oh where is my love' she cried in vain and from the door cried 'please let me in'

With haste she turned and chased the night, no tears to wipe with her hand
While he searched the land to find his love he fell and cried 'please help this man'

The sweetest joy the wildest woe of love Bailey once described
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure, does torment dwell and grow inside

He said it swells like the oceans flow, love drew me in as the tides draw the sea
Oh but I was foolish just like my friends - I let my eyes rule what I should feel.

try playing this one at the same time, it's pretty cool!

this stands on its own very well, of course, but the DJ in me had to point that out :p

extremely solemn, brings out a really cool feeling of mystery and humanity with the dual voices. makes you wonder which part of who is singing what meaning, and why, if you know what I mean. a great weave of innocuous vowels and touching consonants. nice use of reverbs too!

sounds pretty to me. i havent sung a cappella in a while either and i used to always just sing when i was walking at night and such. sometimes one's voice seems to be the best after a break from singing for a little while.
