Description:
Thank you all your comments on "Jazzy Chestnuts" and "Why Do I". The latter I have been trying to improve but am having technical difficulties; lots of terrible clicking and popping sounds. Anyway, I'm getting off track here (no pun inteneded). Many, many, thanks to Momotamus on this track, for his beautiful vocal work.

Lyrics:
I believe in who I am, and
I believe in who I’m gonna be
and I need you to stand with me
and walk with me now through the open door

we’ve been through so much together
through painted skies and through the rain
day by day our love grows stronger
a love a hundred horses could not break

as time goes on
the shifting sands will move beneath us
there’s no need to fear it
feel the wind, hear the song it’s singin’

I believe in who I am, and
I believe in who I’m gonna be
and I need you to stand with me
and walk with me now through the open door

old and grey we’ll be together
with a light still shining in our eyes
it’s the light of life’s fulfillment
it’s the light of having won life’s prize

of no regrets
of no wondering what just might have been
no such troubling questions
you and I, heard the strong wind singing

I believe in who I am, and
I believe in who I’m gonna be
and I need you to stand with me
and walk with me now through the open door

Simply beautiful &mdash 12/17/04 - 08:20:39 AM
Beautiful, simply presented with honesty. Momotamus
sound fantastic, and his voice is perfectly displayed. May
you continue to those opened doors. Very nice bridges,
over all flowing construction. Simply wonderful.

Really beautiful! Natrual, basic, with concern, and still very
modern. Wery good recording work, good sounding
guitars, well played.

This noisy world needs this kind of music!

tuneful and lovely &mdash 12/17/04 - 01:49:44 PM
Very nice tune, extremely pleasant listening!

Excellent lyrics and sentiment. Wonderful vocals,
Momotamus.

I like the little piano (electric?) quick eighth-note riffs; nice
spice to the ends of phrases.

Good choice of sounds, not too many. Simple,
uncluttered track. The guitar sound is warm and
expressive; fits the tune well.

Truly lovely.

thanks for your comments Cameron. It is a piano sound I used, but added
lots of reverb and a little echo.

Lovely &mdash 12/17/04 - 05:45:24 PM
Nicely written, well performed. Could maybe use even
more bg vox in places, but that might even detract from
the simple beauty.

Tremendous collaboration. The voice is slightly
reminiscent of John Denver. I just love the simplicity and
the subtle piano. What great low end sound from your
acoustic guitar. All in all, this was such a pleasure to hear.

It's an honor to hear this tune.
Nice guitar work, all the instrumnets fit very nicely into
the tune. Hope it climbs!
It seems like when I click on the name Daphna I get some
very classy tunes!!

thank you everyone &mdash 12/17/04 - 10:09:41 PM
for your comments, and I'm glad you are all enjoying it so
much : ) This tune would not be what it is if it weren't for
Momotamus, I am sure. Be sure to let him know!

High on my Rating List.. Well Done. Simply Beautiful. Very touching song. .

Some tracks you have to listen to to find &mdash 12/18/04 - 08:23:44 AM
something you like, With others it's the reverse. I have
listened to this about ten times and it just gets better and
better.

I don't know whether to suggest you write more together
or just leave this as a shining example of what a really
excellent collab can do.

Congratulations to both of you. this is just effortlessly
brilliant.

Momotamus, what a great name &mdash 12/18/04 - 08:47:41 AM
The guitar is so precise, is it MIDI? I enjoyed how the piano did not overtake, merely colored. The singer's Western R's seemed a tad forced at times, but the way he led the way and nothing encumbered him was refreshing. The lyrics are nice mainstream pop with longer phrases that, whehn reading, don't sound like lyrics, yet were sung with effortless lyricalness. Living with no regrets is a trick I have not learned.

For the guitar, I used a GB guitar sound - I thought it would work better than
piano. Thanks for your comment Mulletsrock.

So melodic and has the guitar feel. Nice vocal but most
importantly the song as that popular feel.

High rating for sure!

Thanks for producing such high level music not just in
this tune but all the ones i've heard and that is really
doing something!
