This touching break-up song one is by Scott Slater and Dawn Sinclair. We also have an acoustic version which I may put up later.

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.

Story behind the song
Sometimes you just put up a front when you know in your heart that it's over.
Lyrics
Coming Apart at the Seams Scott’s Version By Dawn Sinclair Drifting like paper kites…Across the night sky Shadow and the moonlight through waters deep Where we float like bottle corks upon a mirror lake Loosen each hand as we’re face to face If you keep smiling, then I’ll keep smiling Just to carry on Oh if life’s such a breeze Why do we tell lies while the truth falls between Oh oh if life’s such a breeze We can’t ignore this we’re falling apart at the seams Sooner or later someone’s got to give Our fabric is tearing; it’s wearing thin Sooner or later, the seams will start to split No thread to stitch it back Can’t hide this temper if you keep smiling, then I’ll keep smiling Just to carry on, just to carry on Just to carry on Oh if life is such a breeze Why do we tell lies while the truth falls between us and Oh oh if life’s such a breeze We can’t ignore this we’re coming apart at the seams Coming apart at the seams

Hi Dawn, Absolutely beautiful song. Not hard to believe I would like the Brit Poppiness. LOL! Vocals are excellent. Hope this is not about Mr. Righteous! Your lyrics are as always brilliant. 2nd Listen. I might like the opening with just the accoustic guitar strumming but thats me. Excellent work this really shines. Reminds me a whole lot of Emitt Rhodes and he is one of my favs so no wonder I like this one. A really strong entry from your vast catalog! P.S. Sorry to hear of your health Issues. I hope it is all manageable. Wishing you the best. Take care of yourself!
