Lyrics:

Hope there’s You

Wake me for a midnight song
Wake me for a midnight poem
Save me when the morning comes
Save me from my growing older

Let me float in your arms
Take me with you, let me glide
Let me lie in your arms
Keep me with you, let me hide

And when you’ll be there, I’ll go beyond
Stay with me, lay with me, stay close together
Wait for relief then, wait for respite
Wait ‘till the morning comes

Dreaming ‘bout the days gone by
They were filled with love and laughter
Everything I had in mind
Fantasies for ever after

Let me drift in your arms
Rock me softly, lift me up
Draw me closer to your heart
Let me break away from the dark

Don’t leave me lonely, don’t step aside
Don’t leave me on my own, don’t desert me
Share my hours, share my minutes
Share my seconds now

Wake me with a midnight song
Wake me with a midnight choir
Love me ‘till the morning comes
Hold me, when time expires

RnAM Anne-Marie, I am always amazed how you continue to put out such a high level production. This song is no different. It has been performed flawlessly and put together very nicely. The mix is fantastic and the mastering excellent. Great Job and by the way, Great song! Take care, Torrey.

I enjoyed the song very much even with the crimson. A strong voice. This was for a different song, sorry.

Anne-Marie,
This is one of my favourites from your website - such a nice contrast between the electronic backing and your ethereal vocal.The melody is soothing as befits the mood and the cello coming in wonderfully romantic.

Robert

Beautiful song. Awesome vocal and lyric

Very nice, professional production throughout. Cello really caught my ear, adding a wonderful level of richness.

Excellent work. Keep 'em coming

Bob

Anne-Marie,

Memorizing piece. A progressive sound with some interesting chord changes.
Video was beautifully done and very clever.
A quality production.

Peter

What a fabulous song and fabulous production. You make 'odd' chord changes completely natural, rendering them intriguing.

It conjured up in my mind the music over the closing credits in one of those fantastic 'nordic noir' TV serials. It would be perfect!

John

Very good! Love the vocals, and the way you handled them in the mix. Loved the instrumentation, especially when you brought the cello in.

Edit: Forgot to mention I also enjoyed the video, fit the mood of the music well.

Nice to hear Anne-Marie do some solo vocals!! Really pretty song. Interesting melody, beautiful arrangement (cello works great) and great production. Wonderful!! BTW Rob, did you use Ozone 6 previously? Is 7 worth the upgrade? Take care. Greg

Thanks Torrey for your very positive comments!
Anne-Marie

Beautiful song, Anne-Marie.

Nice use of RTs and loops. An excellent sound to carry the lyric.

Beautifully sung. Excellent mix. Cool video.

One more in a long string of hits.

fj

Beautiful,, a whimsical song, pulling together the memories and wishes that come with the night and all the questions that the reality of day pose. Top notch arrangement. Softly framed and sung with a very fine ear Anne-Marie.

Paddy G

Anne-Marie,

What romantic lyrics! Your soft and beautiful voice perfectly fits to them .

I am impressed by the quality of the song. I enjoyed it very much.

Hiroshi

I think somebody has already used the word ethereal... it certainly fits.

The mix is spectacular as are the vocals and the entire arrangement as
it all sounds "pro studio" on our monitors.

As Robert said "wonderfully romantic."

You never disappoint and this is one of the best amongst many
great productions.

J&B

Thanks Marty and.... don't bother about the crimson

Anne-Marie

Beautiful Anne-Marie! Very haunting!!!

Love it.

I enjoyed this alot. Wonderful vocal, great production. I thought the cello was cool! Interesting chord changes... I thought you made them work very well.

Nice Job.

I found the poetry compelling. We all hear uniquely but I didn't sense any whimsy, especially with the power of the voice, which I wouldn't say was ethereal either,, maybe more ghostly or darkly spiritual. I also liked the cello and the duets and the unexpected chords.

Thanks Robert, glad you like it!

Thanks Scott!

+1 to all the things everybody has already said about how wonderfully done this is in every way!

Thank you Scott!!

Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie,

I listened on headphones a few times and scribbled down first thoughts...

- Passionate and mesmerizing thanks to those gorgeous, vulnerable vocals and sparse backing
- Subtle and perfect use of video
- Minor/major shift and some unexpected chord changes really held my attention
- The Cello solo was great and adds to the warmth
- Piano at Let me float/dreaming etc creates lovely movement
- Love the vocals/harmonies at "let me drift" etc
- Great way to end

In other words, if you have a check list then all the boxes were ticked :-)

Great work and a top mix by Rob,
Jez

Thank you Bob, I like the sound of a cello very much.
Anne-Marie

Thanks Peter, always appreciate your comments!
Anne-Marie

Thanks John, that's quite a compliment!
I like those series very much and also the accompanying music.
Anne-Marie

Thank you Dave, much appreciated!

Anne-Marie

Thank you Greg that is much appreciated.
And you are right, Rob shouldn't sing everything
Best wishes to you!

Anne-Marie
