Artist picture
Evan Paul is a very unique artist. His music is totally original, multi-genre, mostly acoustic, new age, easy listening, uplifting and spiritual.
I'm a Canadian songwriter musician and have recently released my first CD, "Spirits in the Sky". It's an instrumental, classical guitar album with sweeteners such as flute and strings. After decades of performing in various bands and as solo, I have finally settled on recording and writing, and only playing live ocasionally. Result, is a sweet, easy listening and spiritually uplifting work that defies any genre placement. It's pure acoustic and very melodic. Also, one will notice vocal songs and collaborations with various world artists. Presently, my latest CD "Eklektika" is active. It's one of the most original multi-genre instrumental album ever created. Unlike my previous, "Spirits in the Sky" collection, this one has percussion, a little more punch, but still retains that Evan Paul style of classical guitar playing. Enjoy!!!

Story behind the song
A British friend of mine sent me these lyrics as my family was going through a hard time with death and illness, she thought it would help. It's very hard to write lyrics about this subject. I'm sure everyone had a loved one, relative or friend who's time in this world had come to and end. This powerful pop song says it all. At the time, I was emotionally drained and couldn't do it, waited a couple of months, time heals, so the song took a little more positive feel, with a reminder, that we're not here for a long time.
Lyrics
Snowflake in a Flame (lyrics: Carol Douglas, music: Evan Paul Kozaris) Verse 1 It's almost unbearable for my heart to take, Too absurd, to be for real, So impossible for me to make you happy now, It's almost like a big ship has gone aground, Hard 'cause we're wondrin' who to blame, Feels like there's angels all around, 'Cause you're almost like a snowflake in a flame, Chorus You're almost like a snowflake in a flame my love, Almost like a snowflake, in a flame, You're almost like a star that shines no more, Almost like a snowflake in a flame, Verse 2 It's all too consuming with no room to breathe, No way of talking with you, one to one, No there's nothing, nothing to bequeath, like the final setting sun, You're nothing but a songbird who's lost the will to sing, Staring into nowhere, in a dream, __like a pedal, fallen from the flower, In a true life movie, in a tragic scene, Chorus Bridge There'll be mountains to climb, torments for my mind, But I'll do my best to watch over you, With raw emotions of the saddest kind, And I know you'll feel them too, We're almost at the end of a long road, Right at the end of the line, No more tender heart beats, No more......time.... Verse 3 A mere shadow is what I see now, With no real awareness of my love, A lifeless shadow of the former you, And I pray to the heavens above, It's like my own life's in tatters, Something like a poet who's lost his rhyme, But you're the only thing that matters now, And peace will be with you in time.... Chorus, Chorus,

I really like this one. (Brit Pop hard to believe I would like it right). Great harmonies on this one. Carol does a wonderful job on the lyrics. You have mastery over every genre you touch. Not so easy to do. Again I am very impressed. I am a fan and if I am not I have to go click that button that says I am.
