Hello everybody,

This is our new song:

My Gypsy

I like to experiment with different styles, this one has a Rockabilly signature all over it.

My initial idea was to write a lyric about a son who never met his father, but finally found out where he lived. And then he would be standing outside , watching his father. In front of the window of his house. His father not knowing who he was......
Since I wasn't able to wrap this up properly, I sent the concept lyric to Paddy Gobel, our talented collaborating South African songwriter. Paddie initially wrote something in the spirit of my concept, but we both weren't completely happy with the results.
Then Paddy decided to write something completely different. This time it really enhanced the feel of the song and gave it sort of a Chris Isaak, nostalgia feeling.

Anne-Marie took care of the backing vocals and created a very nice video for the song.

This is the result, we hope you like it

Any comments are welcome!

Rob

Lyrics:

My Gypsy

She was gone when I woke up in the morning
In a room filled with sun, azure blue sky
In the distance I heard sounds of music
it was strange how the night passed me by

Oh what a magic she 's weaving
with her smile, no wand does she need
Oh the magic she was weaving
I would go any place she would lead

Danced the night away in the arms of My Gypsy
kissed the wine from her lips with a smile
And the moon turned from golden to silver
as her eyes burned her heart into mine

Oh what a magic she 's weaving
with her smile, no wand did she need
Oh the magic she was weaving
I would go any place she would lead

Oh what a magic she 's weaving
come here smile, no wand does she need
Oh the magic she was weaving
I would go any place she would lead
