This is a collab with three gentlemen from Canada, Argentina and the USA/India.

Lyrics
do or die the minute I wake up I know you are mine the way you open your eyes and your arms leave no doubt: this is our time when we fall and rise for our charms summer is here it?s warm and light not a minute too early to be here and now feels just so right we can stay until the night do or die laugh and cry don?t ask why smile and sigh look eye to eye don?t say say good bye just try and try don?t tell a lie the heart of the matter life has never been better the moment you walk out the door feels like good bye for much too long now that the cold dark days are gone a whole new thing has just been born i want you to know our life is real i want you to know how i feel do or die laugh and cry don?t ask why smile and sigh look eye to eye don?t say say good bye just try and try don?t tell a lie here?s the heart of the matter life has never been better we go to bed and I know you are mine the way you close your eyes and rest your arms like in a prayer for our time when we fall and rise for our charms summer has come and it?s warm and light no need to worry no reason to fight do or die laugh and cry don?t ask why smile and sigh look eye to eye don?t say say good bye just try and try don?t tell a lie here?s the heart of the matter life has never been better

Cool song, yes, very easy going! Great lyrics too, and well sung, and overall good work. Keep on making music. Love it. PS, check out my new medley "Blue medley", three songs I still have to finish, umm, the words are still missing. Always the hardest part for me, that and the singing, lol.

This is a really nice song. The vocals are a bit like Carol King, but the sound is it own: very fresh, very clean and very sweet. Nice indeed.

Nice flow and early 70s vibe on this song. Reminds me a bit of Carly Simon. Nice summertime vibe here. ;)
