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
Allan had a tune and a title....and he gave me carte blanche to turn it into a song....his vocal moved me but fortunately he had already asked Andy to add some orchestration....and we ended up with a true 3way collaboration that we are all proud of.
Lyrics
Never See The Sun lyric Dawn Sinclair music Allan Bell additional orchestration Andrew Foyston We have faced a thousand storms an ocean of tears we’ve swum Waved goodbye an angel child Our precious younger son Doesn't seem it's any easier to bear this though the days pass one by one Doesn't feel right to be living on without him Here beneath a burning sun Tried to lock the world outside and all its delights to shun Closed the drapes and closed our hearts We will never see the sun Doesn't seem it's any easier to bear this and the days pass one by one Still doesn’t feel right to be going on without him Here beneath the living sun People want to tell us it gets easier to bear this That our pain will soon be done Still right now we can’t see past this wall of our conviction: We will never see the sun We will never see the sun For we’ll never see our son Will we ever see the sun?
