Music that has "meat" to it.
Welcome To My Page! I hope you like what you see and hear, um, here. As an artist, having the ability to upload my music and have others listen to it, and perhaps even give me pointers and encouragement, is so exciting!

Story behind the song
This song is a mix of two poems written by Chris Lindsay. For more of this great writer's work, please visit him at http://www.cryjustice.com/. These two poems are from his book "Mysterious Love Peoms and Love Letters". You can purchase this book, and many of his other works, at Amazon.com or in Kamloops at the local Chapters. Anyway, here's how the poems became songs. In the first poem (Love letter accross the Pacific), a sailor writes a letter to his love, speaking of missing her and wanting her to be with him. However, the distance is making him "lonely" and so he finds himself sitting and "waiting patiently" for her to come back to him. Because of the distance and time apart, this sailor feels like he is falling out of love a bit, until something happens. Here, it musically morphs into the second poem (The Maiden in the Mist), where the sailor sees a lovely Native American girl through the mists in a forrest. This girl stirs the sailor's love even more, to the point where the sailor feels "deeply in love" again. Well, that's the story. Hope you like the tune.
Lyrics
Do you remember the day We stood hand in hand On the cold wet sands Of the Oregon coast? I watched invisible wind Rushing through your tresses Pacific ocean crashing [C1] White and wonderful Like classical music White and wonderful. [V2] My dear, if we both had wings To fly beyond the horizon Would your heart be open To journey there with me? How long must I be lonely? Waiting patiently For you to come back to me? [C1] White and wonderful Like classical music White and wonderful... (The Maiden In The Mist) In the fading light I followed her For whenever she looked back It seemed to be what she wanted She ran across a field of tall grasses Then dashed through a web of alder bushes. I watched her leather-covered feet Touch gracefully on water-soaked leaves. She wore a blue night gown And a white veil over her face; Beautiful beyond description. She awakened love inside of me Then she disappeared like a dream. She was the perfect image of you And the dream seemed so real. I'm beginning to feel Deeply in love with you again.
