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
I approached Mark with this idea about 9 months ago and although he hadn't done anything like it before ("it's gotta be powerful though Mark"), he readily agreed to give it a shot...it turned out to be without doubt, the most incredibly powerful song in our repertoire and this version, by the immensely talented Chris Ward, has really put the icing on the cake for us.
Lyrics
It’s Not Me by Dawn Sinclair If I cared enough that you're walking away I might struggle forever for the right words to say If the hollowness in my empty heart was due to the moment my world fell apart If it was true that I still loved you I'd be no one that I ever knew. If I felt the pain of unbearable loss I might scream to the skies like the man on the cross I would plead for an answer to the question "why?" and never comprehend however I try If it was true that I still loved you I really don't know what I'd do But it's not me who's left here without a hope or a prayer, of ever knowing love again, or ever going there. It's not me who would beg you to come back and make it right, to wipe away the prospect of another endless night It's not me... it can't be me... don't let it be me If my hands were shaking as I stood alone I could no longer call this empty house a home. If my photographs showed that love was a lie I'd tear every one of them in pieces, wouldn't I? If it was true that I still loved you I'd be no one that I ever knew. But it's not me... it can't be me... don't let it be me No .... that's not who I am Not really who I am ‘Cause I don't give a damn.

Ms dawn, your lyrics are the perfect match for this kind of song . the way mark starts his melodies and builds the song with his great harmonies and sings the lead vocal in such a comfortable non chalant way till the the line " Don't give a damn " shines and sparkles like the final burst of fire works congratulations

Huggles babe, Full points on this collab with Mark and Chris. A very powerful piece of music with strongly worded sentiment to match. Enjoyed Mark's guitar break and Chris has injected the right amount of emotion to complement your lyrics. Top job the three of you.
