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
This lyric, with a different title, had not worked when another composer tried but I knew in the right hands, it would work just fine....and I had a feeling Dawn would make sweet music with it....she did and not for the first time has proved that she can read my mind and soul.
Lyrics
Before You Walked Away words Dawn Sinclair Music Dawn Diamond V1 I stood up on stage With such a confident air Hoping no one noticed You were no longer there My voice full of emotion Eyes bright with unshed tears Singing all the songs we wrote Together through the years Chorus Before you walked away tore the sun out from the sky To leave me standing here Half a duo wond’ring why nothing’s ever as it seems Perhaps our plans were merely foolish dreams Before you walked away V2 Remember all the times We sang in harmony Every note was perfect nothing jarred with you and me Our fans stayed true and loyal turning out, night after night but they never heard us backstage on the day we had our fight Chorus Before you walked away tore the sun out from the sky To leave me standing here Half a duo wond’ring why nothing’s ever as it seems Perhaps our plans were merely foolish dreams Before you walked away Bridge Lift any stone and you might see the lies we hid so frequently For although we sang in harmony You wanted only to be free Chorus Before you walked away tore the sun out from the sky To leave me standing here Half a duo wond’ring why nothing’s ever as it seems Perhaps our plans were merely foolish dreams Before you walked away Before you walked away
