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
The words seemed to write themselves. It was finding the write musician to bring them alive that was the major factor. I sent the song to Tony and he came right back with the basic demo. I was amazed it was so different from how I'd imagined it, but tickled pink with his interpretation. When he got Jim involved in the project, I knew we were onto a winner so I just sat back and let them get on with it. I am thrilled with how it all turned out. TO BITZZZZ
Lyrics
V1 I guess I am the type of man Who cannot keep a girl They come, they go, a tidal flow My head’s in such a whirl I know I should be broken by Rejection all the time It might be bad, but I’m not sad By midnight I’m sublime and I'm drinking.... White lightning and jamaican rum Tequila and some beers They shielded me from truth, When you walked out of here White lightning and jamaican rum Has got me on my knees That's not the whole equation, It's just part of the sum and I'm drinking.... V2 Will someone please explain to me What I am doing wrong I buy girls rings and do those things I’ve heard about in songs But when it comes right down to it I’d rather have a drink Up at the bar, with friends who are Too smashed to want to think and I'm drinking.... chorus and I'm drinking
