I wrote this song between 2008-2010, but I had difficulties to find a satisfying arrangement. 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.
This is a really nice production and the vocals are great. I would cut the last bass notes at the end though. It seems like the song is over by then. I really like this a lot though. Great job.

Hi Janne, you picked a great couple to work with you. Rob and Anne-Marie always do a super job and the three of you produced a very fine song. I enjoyed the view and listen. Sonny
Thanks for giving positive feedback Videotrack, David, Charlie, Guenter, Peter, Noel, Sonny I'm glad to hear you liked the production and those excellent singers Rob & Anne-Marie, you are true professionals, I really hope that one day I have another song ready for you to sing
David, I added those last bass notes deliberately, because I felt that the ending was lacking something without them. But maybe something else would have worked better...

Really interesting song musically and lyrically!! I like the mystique in the style, and Rob does a great job with that kind of vocal. Really well done-haunting and emotional! Take care. Greg

Thanks Greg for your nice and interesting comment! 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
