Artist picture
English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
This began life as a poem. I saw the potential for a song in it....and after its conversion, Svenni did his magic and brought it to life as a beautiful love song
Lyrics
V1 Where do you go when you're not with me can you hide from the sound of defeat? how is it we don’t share the visions we see when our hearts drum the same timeless beat? how many more times must I be left here discussing my loss with the sea? where do you go when you just disappear, can you tell me that you hurt like me? Chorus Don’t turn away Don’t ever think of leaving Come back I pray It’s not me that you’re deceiving Babe I’m down on my knees Take what I’m offering please Don’t turn away V2 Why does it seem to me I’m all alone When it comes to the tears and the pain? Sometimes I think your heart’s made of stone When you're doing this time and again How can you bear it when we’re apart Is it something you've learned to accept? Can you exist with a hole in your heart Does my absence just have no effect? chorus bridge and what in the world should I do when all of my life lives in you outtro you see me here down on my knees how can you be deaf to my pleas baby listen, think what you’ll be missing I’m begging you Don’t turn away
