Story behind the song
Tibet has for many years been to me a neglected and ignored subject , (due probably to the fact that theres nothing we can gain from it..Oil for example). Recently because of the Olympics in China, the Tibetan cause is now in the news and I approached Dawn Sinclair and asked her if she would write a lyric relating to Tibet.. She agreed, and I put the music/performance to her words... Thanks Dawn!!!
Lyrics
Melting Glaciers. Played Mah-Jongg in Lhasa, as I drank my butter tea Saw the Potala Palace, though it hardly noticed me Heard the Dalai Lama, still believes in words of peace I won't dare to argue, but the killing doesn't cease China's troops step in to quell the unrest in our hearts They say that independence, is where the killing starts And I say we just want to be, allowed to stand alone and free Another glacier melts I see, but there's one more in front of me Before, life wasn't perfect, and this was no Shangri-La Progress here was slower, we'd already travelled far They didn't let us grow up, spread warmth from within our hearts They thought they knew us better, and that's where the killing starts And I say we just want to be, allowed to stand alone and free Another glacier melts I see, but there's one more in front of me. One more glacier in front of me. Lyrics. Dawn Sinclair. Music. Mark Ellis. Copyright 2008.

Superb production and arrangement! A very sensitive subject which I feel has been handled with great understanding and empathy. Wonderful guitar solo there, very dramatic and passionate. There's something in your voice that reminds me of John Lennon...and I'm sure he would have been very proud of this song. An excellent collaboration.
