(Vocal) Have you ever been madly in love with someone who's also a friend, and are afraid to tell them cause you're too shy? So you lie back in bed in the evenings and daydream about them.

Artist picture
Evan Paul is a very unique artist. His music is totally original, multi-genre, mostly acoustic, new age, easy listening, uplifting and spiritual.
I'm a Canadian songwriter musician and have recently released my first CD, "Spirits in the Sky". It's an instrumental, classical guitar album with sweeteners such as flute and strings. After decades of performing in various bands and as solo, I have finally settled on recording and writing, and only playing live ocasionally. Result, is a sweet, easy listening and spiritually uplifting work that defies any genre placement. It's pure acoustic and very melodic. Also, one will notice vocal songs and collaborations with various world artists. Presently, my latest CD "Eklektika" is active. It's one of the most original multi-genre instrumental album ever created. Unlike my previous, "Spirits in the Sky" collection, this one has percussion, a little more punch, but still retains that Evan Paul style of classical guitar playing. Enjoy!!!

Story behind the song
She was a friend all through high school. She worked in a garden center during the summers just around the corner from me. I would leave earlier for my job just to stop and talk with her. She was my first love, the sweetest thing, it went on for years, have not seen her since, maybe it was meant to be that way.
Lyrics
IN MY MIND (Evan Paul Kozaris) Traces of light, now lie scattered 'cross the sky, Evening informs me, that the time has arrived, Various thoughts, shape the course of my mind, I leave the fragments, of a cruel day behind, In my mind...as I sigh...in my mind. Shadows of darkness, take the place of the shade, Out by the park, where the autumn leaves had layed, Lovers had frazzled, as they rolled through the haze, I've come to need you, as I drift through this phaze, In my mind....as I sigh...in my mind. One sided love, is torturing my mind, I fell in love, not knowing what I'd find, Night after night, I wake up feeling worn, Even in dreams, I'm constantly torn, In my mind...In my mind. My mind is sinking, in the warmth of your delight, As I am striving to, get through another night, My heart a flutter, every time we meet, Make it impossible, for my words to reach, Your mind...as I sigh....in seclusion.

Evan, this song is truly amazing....Your vocals are magnificent. Your music is truly the best. The Best. Your melodies and musicianship are always so epic. You had to have been one of King Arthur's Knights in your previous life. No matter what you write, play, and sing you always sound like you are the knight in shining armor. I am not the only lady on here that thinks so. :)

Evan, I really like this one. Fantastic performance/production. I really like your vocals on this song. You are quite the musician always impressive. And a tale you have woven is something so many people live through. I can remember being about 14 and feeling like this about my best friends sister and for a month one summer I finally got the nerve and it was great and then she got to know me!

Yes, I have had a crush on someone and could not tell them cause we were so close friends. Great lyrics, tune, vocals, and arranging. Love the chord progressions in the middle section of this piece and great ending as always.
