is this the right genre? I'm not sure...this song is pretty self explainatory, written when I was 21,inspired by a kind of a "it's your loss" response to a break up.

Sometimes soft and melancholy, sometimes not..
I'm a a singer/songwriter originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I've tinkered with many instruments but pretty much stick to piano and guitar. I've been a member here at Soundclick for about 20 years now, I have met some incredible people from all over the world. I have collaborated with a lot of different musicians in my time here, but most notably I have been working quite closely with Juri Rosenfeld aka Grand Jury. Juri is an utterly amazing composer, musician, arranger, producer from Finland. And I am thrilled to be working with him. Very often the lyricist for these songs is Dawn Sinclair an extremely talented and prolific writer from England. From time to time I have worked with other artists as well, most of whom I have met here on Soundclick. Another SC member, Tom Moore and I have worked closely together on many projects as well, including a 17 song Christmas CD. I absolutely love musical collaboration but have recently been trying to focus on completing some more of my own original compositions. Also check out the band Fractured Beauty, here on Soundclick another collaboration project featuring the talents of Bob Kingdon and others with a psychedelic vibe.

Story behind the song
We go through varying emotions during a break up, this song came from that part of me that's confident and optomistic...trying to find something good in the midst of so much negativity, that little nugget... This song is being posted by request, It's a song always best represented live. I've never been as fond of this recording as I am of some others, but it has also been a favorite of some very old and dear fans... here you go, Celine!
Lyrics
21 years ago you did not exist for me, but I grew through all that; became something to see and at tender 19 years you fell into my lap and I believed. We spent a fairy tale, though broken time sufficed we re-attatched the ends. Never questioned twice if it was worth it, just held on to the stars and we believed. And now I am the sole provider of a hope that is long gone. And as I take this first step forward I know I can be strong. CHORUS Oh, you can walk and you can talk as if nothing took place here, Well, I may be young and still naieve but my memory is clear. I will never disbelieve in anything again, 'cause I'm the proof you left behind, you had it all back then. Well I cannot understand how you throw it all away I've got to ask myself do you mean the words you say. Do you realize or is this your idea of a game. Thank god for all this growth unconditionally, I may have lost your love, but I gained some strength in me. I won't forget you, but I'm working on the door to set me free. And I may be the sole provider of a hope that is long gone, but as I take this first step forward, I know I can be strong. *Repeat chorus
