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.

Lyrics
VERSE 1 I grew up by a river, a river by the sea Everybody there got wet Everybody water-skied Everybody fished We all ran the crab traps Even now, I can taste that salt, and I crave to go back CHORUS To the river by the sea Where I ran free Barefoot, suntanned, mermaid growin’ in the sand the river by the sea The river by the sea CHORUS VERSE 2 Now I live in the city, a city with no sea Livin’ here has got its perks, but there ain’t no sailin’ breeze Ain’t no porpoise fins, no big spaces to roam Anytime I see a wide sky, Oh I wanna go home CHORUS BRIDGE At night when the shrimp would run, we’d go to the bridge Dippin’ down with our long pole net(s) Everybody brought the kids CHORUS TAG I thought it belonged to me The river by the sea END © 2006 by Laurel Varner & Dean Brantley Taylor
