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
Sometimes it isn't easy for 4 people collaborating from afar but these lads went to enormous trouble to get this one perfect. (this is vocal version 7 for instance) and I have so much respect for them all.
Lyrics
Just a Memory lyric Dawn Sinclair Sometimes we can’t see The reasons that lie beneath and hide themselves in secrets deep pretending not to be Every morning as she rises wide eyed smiles and exercises she is filled with optimism for each new-born day love may come and find her charming sweetly honest, and disarming everything she has to offer on the surface, clearly, open on display Sometimes we can’t see Inside a person’s memory the hurts that change identity and make them long to flee Sometimes we can’t see The reasons that lie beneath and hide themselves in secrets deep pretending not to be When she steps outside her front door holds her breath, undaunted once more she will never show her terror as she faces each new day love may come and find her charming sweetly honest, and disarming everything she has to offer on the surface, clearly, open on display Sometimes we can’t see Inside a person’s memory the hurts that change identity and make them long to flee Sometimes we can’t see The reasons that lie beneath and hide themselves in secrets deep pretending not to be Only she is quite aware now Only she could ever dare now delve inside the want-to-be-her not the way she used to be love may come and find her charming sweetly honest, and disarming everything she has to offer on the surface and not just a memory just a memory
