Hi all,

Here's a new collaboration :

Singing: DJ Lekich, Lyrics : Ray Cochrane, Music : Christian Devienne

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/he-waits-no-more

Run but running’s not enough
Not far, no, not time
Life requires sterner stuff
Short, yet sublime
Death’s waiting at the door
But he waits no more

Metaphors of a life
Similes for your strife
Balance upon a knife
Bad sophistry is rife
Death’s waiting at the door
He is what’s in store

Hide but hiding’s not enough
No place, no, no time
Life’s overtures we rebuff
Waste is our crime
Death’s waiting at the door
But he waits no more

Nicely done - a great collaboration for sure smile Loved the groove on this, as Rayc mentioned above your voice is really expressive and attention grabbing. Some really interesting lyrics on this one too.

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice and intriguing, truly inter-continental collaboration. One of the best voices on this forum sings Ray's dark lyric with the BIAB band playing enjoyable French blues chording.

Top notch contribution form each of you!

A collab where the sum is even greater than the great parts smile

The write is smothered in mystique, the vocal is emotively engaging and the RT's are a wonderful mashup of genres.

This is a perfect example of what this community can create!

Kudos to all,

J&B

Ominous lyrics, as TuneMonger said, with the kind of edgy vocal Deej does so well.
Love the slide and the rhythmic backing.
Excellent collaboration!
