LAKE NAVERONE ON YOUTUBE LAKE NAVERONE ON FACEBOOK My family and I spent a wonderful Easter weekend at Lake Naverone in the Drakensberg. I wrote this song while we were there last year but this year I got round to taking some footage and putting together a video and I don't think I ever posted it to the forum. Tracks: RealTracks in style: ~537:Bass, Acoustic, Pop Sw 165 RealTracks in song: 2206:Bouzouki, Rhythm CelticHornpipe Sw16 070 RealTracks in style: ~812:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Western Swing Sw 165 RealTracks in style: ~373:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 165 RealDrums in style: Nashville2BeatSw8^01-a:Sidestick , b:Snare, Ride RT1614:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm DixielandFast Sw 165 RT611:Mandolin, Rhythm Fast Chop Sw 190 RT1862:Mandolin, Soloist WesternSwingAndy Sw 165 Lyrics: Its six am the sun is rising The mist is floating on the lake It lifts its veil long enough for you to see The shimmering of the day The first sweet moments of the day unfold The quiet like a whisper creeps Time stands before you hours come and go And open up the space to dream By yourself but not alone When you're out at Naverone Easy like when you're at home Lake Naverone You can’t imagine somewhere so beautiful Could be outside your door Nothing can take away those memories Find the peace you're looking for By yourself but not alone When you're out at Naverone Easy like when you're at home Lake Naverone Something deep inside of you says that This is the right thing to do By yourself but not alone When you're out at Naverone Easy like when you're at home Lake Naverone You pack your bag stop for one last look Egyptian geese slip past You sadly walk away with sorry footsteps The time has come to say goodbye By yourself but not alone When you're out at Naverone Easy like when you're at home Lake Naverone

Beautiful chorus! You could have repeated it a few times at the end. It's just lovely.
And your harmonies are delightful.
What a wonderful uplifting song!
much enjoyed

Joanne, you knocked another one out of the park!
Everything about this is top shelf.
Your voice is getting better and better with each song.
A wonderful vacation I just took and I didn't even leave the house.
Super job!

Hi Joanne
I certainly have to agree with all the others. The song is as pretty as the film footage, which is gorgeous. We loved the several interludes with the mandolin - that really topped it off for us.
That's a lovely place ... it doesn't get much prettier than that. We can see the inspiration for your writing. Beautiful song and equally wonderful video. This is just so good!

Some quite extraordinary lyrics here.
"The first sweet moments of the day unfold
The quiet like a whisper creeps
Time stands before you hours come and go
And open up the space to dream"
This song has a fantastic vibe throughout. The choice of instruments is perfect, everything just works together so well.

David, Yes, thanks, we did have a lovely time doing things like bike riding, playing tennis, hiking and playing board games that we never get to do when we have our computers and the TV.
Mario. Ha ha. yes I hoped to convey that feeling. It is the most beautiful place.
Al and Di - Thank you! I actually did record the song last year shortly after returning from our Easter break but this year I got round to doing the video.
Steve. Thanks! It was too short unfortunately
Rob and Anne-Marie. Glad you liked the video.
Tommy. It certainly does make you wish for more vacation time.

Beautifully performed, written, arranged and produced.
It's nice to see you back around the user forum!
Personalizing the images for the video was a great idea. It brings a lot of feeling to the lyric.
BTW, Janice and I watched a travel show on your lovely country the other night. It was very enjoyable as was this production!
