Hello forum members

The year is drawing to a close.
And what could be more natural than to dedicate
a song to the people who are close to you,
who are always there for you and who make your life worth living.

I came up with the idea and the music for the
song, then asked Deej to write the lyrics.
And then Marty, Shigeki and Wolle stepped in to
move the song forward with their great talents.

But I had no idea how well this song would develop.
The result is a fantastic collaboration that focused
on the message of the song right from the start:

YOU ARE THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE


And here is the video

We wish you a Merry Christmas with your loved ones and a great, healthy New Year.

Many greetings
Andi ;-)

I dedicate this song to my best friend Sophie

The Lyrics:
You Are The Best Thing In My Life

So I’m trying to find someway to explain
When I need a friend you’re always there I know
And those moments when I’m standing in the rain
You bring sunshine and the storm I’m in just goes

And even when my winters bring me down
You’re the fire in my heart
You melt everything around

You are the best thing in my life
And all I need
You’re everything that I could ever dream

You are the best thing in my life
You’re all I see
With every day you shine more bright
Yeah, you are the best thing in my life

Sometimes I find myself so lost
My faith a broken compass
My North an albatross

But when I feel abandoned and alone
You bring me back to center
And guide me back to home

And even when the darkness circles round
You chase the chains of midnight
And burn my prison down
