I played my 12-String Merlin w/ Martin Lifespan SP Extra Light Strings.I sang all vocals, harmonies, recitations, played drumloop,strings, bass, on Keyboard. And, also finger picked Mya, my Fender 12-string for a more velvety sound on the bottom.
Those Extra Light Martin Strings on Merlin, make a more harplike sound. I like it.

IN SOLID GOLD
Verse One;
I'd never meant to hurt you with anything I said
Forget the pain of yesterday, happiness instead
Now I know you love me, there's something you should know
I want you back in my arms I 'll never let you go, oh no, oh no
BRIDGE; I still love you with all my heart and soul
Press these precious words in solid gold
It's only you that I want to touch and hold
Write these precious words in solid gold
Write these precious words in solid gold
Verse Two;
Our time together, no one can erase
I love your blue eyes, I love your face
You are a good man and fun to be around
As soon as we get off the phone, I hope you're homeward bound
Homeward bound, and I hope you stay around.
