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
I used 2 experiences for the lyric, one autobiographical, one from a famous movie. The idea is to show that you can do almost anything when you have someone by your side, be that a lover or a Guardian angel
Lyrics
Guardian by dawn sinclair 1 Have you ever walked under a canopy of stars Chin tilted up into the night? Did you stare long enough to see a comet flare And marvel at the wondrous sight? Sometimes if you're captured by a spectacle When your lover’s by your side You could fancy that the comet is an arrow Shot accurately by some fateful guide chorus Who's watching over you these days? Who's showing you the way? Who's using the cloak of night To guide you in the day? 2 Have you ever crossed the roughest of oceans Chin tilted up to show you're brave? Did you lift your arms and dare the sea to take you on the swell of a wave? Sometimes if you're captured by dangers ahead When your lover‘s at your side You could fancy that you're on some cosmic journey Protected by some heavenly guide chorus Who's watching over you these days? Who's showing you the way? Who's using the cloak of night To guide you in the day? chorus2 Who's watching over you these days? Who's showing you the way? Who's using their hidden powers To guard you night and day? chorus 3 Who’s watching over you tonight Who’s showing you the way? Who hears your heart and knows your mind And wants you to stay Have you ever walked under a canopy of stars Chin tilted up into the night?
