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.

This is an excellent folk song with superb lyrics. The arrangement is wonderful - a very well crafted blend of sounds which has been produced to perfection. Great vocals and harmonies too!

Mark Ellis does a fantastic job of bringing "Mighty Oak" to life, and you do a fantastic job of writing this one, Ms. Sinclair. :D

Very "Mule of Kentyreish" song.I love these celtic embellishments,and the whole composition.Can't say precisely what is purely English and what's celtic,-as in my mind these elements are vry vagely separated.Mark's delivery and arrangments are professional and with the personal footprint,as always.Lyrics is philosophical and deep,suits this song very well.Congrats all over!!

Love the folky feel of this one. Profound lyric interpreted perfectly by Mark. Loved the guitars and flute, and Mark's vocal is flawless.
A sure fire hit. Well done you two!!

A Cracker? Now how do I top that description? A Cracker it is! Nice easy listening and Marks vocals remind me so much of Denny Laine and Wings but how many times have I said that? LOL! Nice work and concept of a mans soul and the mighty oak. I actually heard this over on MP3 unsigned earlier but came to listen in full headphones in more familiar haunts. Good collab.

I really like the lyrics here especially the last verse about the tree being made into coffins , will listen to this alot , very nice arrangement fits well with the words and one of my favorite styles to listen too. Marks vocals are always so clear and pleasing to the ear and his melodies weave so subtley into a crescendo.
cheers

Hugglies babe,
Love the folksy feel and as I listened, it crossed from a Simon and Garfunkel type start to a Jethro Tull sort of feel.
Lyrics work well and Marks subdued voice suited the feel of the song. Overall a good listen , well done both of you.
