Did most of the song in one day, trying out my new upgrade to Ableton Live 8; twiddled around with it for a week or so, then sent a mix, over the horizon, to John Izzard in France (don't you just love the Internet?). He sent me his amazing tracks, which I altered during his first passage; left the second part alone except for volume. I'm rather happy with the results. Thank you John!...oh, and of course, you too Carole!
Lyrics
'Shangri-La'
Betwixt and between
The mountains in the sky
Nestles a place
Where the eagles can fly
This heaven
This Shangri-La
Is a haven for creative folk
Troubles and cares wash away
Sonnets wash over everyone
With a river flowing freely
Birds and butterflies
Fly peacefully
In the sun
Ribbons flutter in the air
A place more beautiful
Than you have ever seen
Where poets and musicians can roam
With every colour in between!!
