But everytime new realtracks have been released, the arrangement has gone a big leap forward. Hopefully this is the final version. Fellow BIAB users Rob and Anne-Marie (RnAM) added the vocals and did the final mix, thanks to them for their excellent work. Rob's voice really turned this into a catchy pop song; and the backing vocals in the chorus are stunning. All comments welcome!

Lyrics: A blackbird singing outside the pond unbroken fragile the courtship is seductive in a dream we are walking down the aisle. In reality I can't hurry love effusive eagerness for flare it is dangerous walking on thin ice I should not taste a dawning pear. What I miss about you is the spark when we kissed at the heavenly hills. I can never forget about you how you got excited over few little thrills the last waltz hurts on repeat. A car is waiting outside you have packed your bookshelves you have torn the signs down all the wallpaper that we picked ourselves. Praying is futile I can't drag out love I can't stop the train of mind can't put back the water of a broken dam life has no fast forward or rewind. What I miss... In eternity between the rising and falling between the waiting and longing for a fraction of a second we met pure hearted no abstaining like never departed like never departed. What I miss... --- Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

It seems like the song is over by then. I really like this a lot though. Great job.

But maybe something else would have worked better... --- Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

Yes, BIAB really brought some mystique into the song and thus probably affected the lyrics also. And Rob's great voice combined nicely the mystique with pop sound --- Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
