Mark (MickD)'s comment:

I feel very honored to present for your listening pleasure a song written and performed by Daniel Staniforth (Lunatrick)!!!

Dan sent me Forever and asked what I thought I could do with it. Although all the parts were there it seemed unpolished. The song in it's raw state really touched me and as I listened and started twirling knobs and adding instruments...This went on somewhat obsessively for a week. By the time I looked up I think I had transformed the piece yet somehow maintained the original intent. I hope you enjoy and Daniel, wherever you are, this is one heck of a bit of songwriting and performance by you! Thank you for allowing me to post it!!!

Daniel Staniforth: Composition, Lyrics, Vocals, Guitars (Spectacular work), Drums and Bass

Mark Deskin: Production, Mixing, Strings, Piano and other bits and bobs...

Hope you all enjoy!

Daniel's comment:

Mark, I can't thank you enough my friend. I thought I had lost this track... and threw it at you as a last hope. You really sprinkled some magic on it and took it to a completely new level. Your abilities as and arranger, producer, and collaborator are second to none. I am heartened and encouraged by this.

Lyrics
(Lyrics Daniel Staniforth)
Forever

Sweet is simplicity
Born beyond your eyes
I follow to the skies
I will dance with you
For a thousand nights
A thousand nights with you

Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever

I have no rest in my deepest sleep
I yearn for you
I yearn for you
In my most contemplative dream
I suffer the abysmal scenes
Of wanting you
Of wanting you

Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever

I tear you on my brow
In beads of sweet
I cling to you
I cling to you religiously
I cling to you as my faith
I have become a thousand, thousand, thousand dreams
I come to you,
Yes, I come to you,
To dream
To dream

Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever
Sweet is forever

Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

This is
great!
It sounds sort of lo-fi to my ears but even though it is lush and it breathes...
You can clearly notice every instrument and nuance added to the song.
I liked your vocals a lot Daniel, you are a very dinamic vocalist.
You can adapt your voice to what the song requests and this is something powerful.
Great work!

Definitely Sweet
and deeply romantic. I think of the 50's and a time when love and the interplay between the sexes was innocent and underplayed on the surface while charged with emotion and belief in forever... certainly not like it is these days. I love it, Mike. So very rich. Daniel, you are a crooner of the first order. If you were on a darkened stage at a single mic in a spotlight, the room would be hushed. When the lights came up, there'd be panties on the stage. I've been hanging with Alannah, you understand. :) Thanks!

Lovely
This has a really magical feel to it. The instrumentation and vocal are suffused with a romantic feeling, and the lyrics are yearning and sweet, a perfect match with the music. Very glad to see this was not left on the hard drive! Lovely stuff. Nicely done to you both. Kudos. Peace.

Very nice
I like the breathless vocal and that neat little guitar part very much.
Quite an 80's feel which is cool.

Well... it was probably written very early 90s
then I abandoned it. Glad you like the reworkings!

so goot
I wish I could invoke the accent of my Colombian girlfriend, because when she says something like, "This is so good!" it sounds so much more enthusiastic than if I were to say it. So that's the vibe I got when I listened to this-- it's "so goot!"

Very cool sound
has a very live feel - I guess it's the room on it - but there's something dreamy and haunting about it too - like it's the last song of the night at the prom. Kids are shuffling about the gym hunched over each other while the science teacher is trying to make time with the music teacher by the fire exit.

Yes Kevin...
Great visuals. It was meant to be pathos, almost resignation as well as being just Romantic. It's a very strange song in many ways!

Stunned!
WOW! This track reminds me of something, but I cannot remember what. It doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that you guys have written a fantastic track! Start to finish, this is a song that will last forever. It seems to hold a certain timelessness to it. Brilliant work! Bravo!

Fine song and fine work
I could have done with the vocals a bit louder.

Definitely sweet though :-)

Right Dick
I'll work on being more up front with the vocals... I am a guitarist that only began to sing when there was no one else around... and have always been shy with my vocal mixes. The community here is giving me much needed confidence!
