Artist picture
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
Incredibly, Craig told me he'd like to have a lyric for a song "in the style of Bon Jovi"...I laughed but said I'd do my best... With just a few word changes, this is what he made of it.
Lyrics
Gotta Find My Way (Back To You) lyric dawn sinclair music craig matthews This morning, I woke up in a bed, in a room in a town called God-Knows-Where my head beat like a drum, my eyes refused to focus I wasn't even certain I was there As I looked around the room the holdall in the corner was the only thing familiar in view and as the fog inside my head began to clear this morning dread with sudden clarity of mind I knew chorus I've gotta find my way back to you to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed the deepest eyes I've truly missed the only girl who loves me like you do Gotta find a way to be with you Each night I play guitar, while I’m wishing on a star on a stage, in a bar in a town called I-Don't-Care I set out with hopes high, saw fame and fortune waiting and I was certain I would get my share Now my songs no longer rhyme, they grow sadder all the time and my soul is turning every shade of blue and there ain’t a bar in town holds the beer I'd need to drown the misery that is life without you chorus I've gotta find my way back to you to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed the deepest eyes I've truly missed the only girl who loves me like you do I've gotta find a way to be with you bridge and whatever I thought life would be I swear I never wanted to be free from all that really matters to me baby, I love you...I love you...I love you -solo- chorus x2 I've gotta find my way back to you to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed the deepest eyes I've truly missed the only girl who loves me like you do I've gotta find a way to get to you

Pretty sure I've commented on this one before, but it's sooo good it's worth doing it twice, or at least getting some stars in there for ya! Is this a more recent mix? Vocals seem clearer than I remember. I think this is really well done, everything fits so well together, the lyrics flow seamlessly, the kick comes in at the right time, that solo is fabulous. This would be a great "last song" at a dance. exceptional. Hugs, Amy

Oh, I love that Bang,Dahlink!So,you've get there even quicker than me.As you,perhaps,knew my interest in Heavy Metal started(and ended) with Brit Bands like LZ (Led Zepelin),DP(Deep Purple),BS (Black Sabath),WS (Whie Snake). Good composition,good voice,great delivery.Some corners might need smoothng production-wise,but that just a'hair-splittin' Very happening song,wins my thumbs-up hands-down.
