Here is a new song composed by RobertC and myself. I sent the backtrack and guitar melody and Robert added some very beautiful lyrics and an excellent vocal.

The Space Between Your Heartbeats

when the space between your heartbeats has grown
across your face moonlight ripples
from a stone in darkness thrown
little one lay down your fear
if you cry how will you hear
the song I`m singing near
among swaying trees where I`ll have flown
when the space between your heartbeats has grown

bound away on the sea of your repose
as the sail of your soul unfurls
and your eyelids close
little one I`m still your friend
standing here at land`s end
I`ll turn your ship to catch the wind
tomorrow I`ll wait for you to show
all you`ve found on the sea of your repose

out on night seas
stars grow from trees
in your hat to wear
fisher of dreams
cast your net
into the air

when the space between your heartbeats has grown
across your face moonlight ripples
from a stone in darkness thrown
little one lay down your fear
if you cry how will you hear
the song I`m singing near
among swaying trees where I`ll have flown
when the space between your heartbeats has grown

Scott / Robert,

Very beautiful... An excellent song with outstanding production.

I enjoyed this start to finish.

Bob

Scoot & Robert,

This is a beautiful song. Such a "gentle" lyric. The stuff of lullabies..

A nice backing track. The lead/fill guitar fits so well. And an excellent tender vocal.

A good write. Well done.

What a belter of a song guys, really enjoyable. Love the lyrics, and your superb input as well Scott

Wow - you made something beautiful guys The textures of this tune are so silky and smooth. The subtle harmonies in the background pair with the quiet guitar perfectly. It has a very lullaby-esque quality to it. The slow build up wasn't expected too - when the strings started pulsing in and out I was sold.

You should be really proud of this one. Thanks for sharing guys!

What a lovely song. It's very beautiful, and I think you guys should be proud. I especially love the melody on this one.

Moves along like a gentle stream.

This really showcases some of the best of you two.

Melancholy yet ultimately up lifting. There is a lot to contemplate in the lyric.

We listened twice and then read the lyric several times. "Sail of your soul unfurls," the hook and so much more work so well to tell the spiritual journey.

Superb!

J&B

Beautiful and well structured, that would be on my dream chill out album.

Hearing Scott`s melody on his demo I was surprised how close it sounded to a lullaby I`d written long ago, and with hardly any changes it fit; nice serendipity that!

A very beautiful, soft and touching song that was sang and mixed perfectly. I really enjoyed this!

Thanks so much Bob. It just amazes me that I can send a track to Robert and he reaches into his archives and pulls out a lyric that just fits perfectly with the track. And what a cool vocal

Scott / Robert

Pretty, tender ballad lovely lyrics - lilting guitar and a gentle evocative vocal.
Nice work.

Peter

enjoyed it scott beautifull and atmospheric .takes you to a different gentle place .

What a beautiful song and arrangement guys!!

I really loved this!!

Gorgeous song and gorgeous playing.

Thanks to all those who commented on the lyrics, and especially to you J&B...yes, having a newborn brings out the spiritual side of many dads!

Robert

Nice! I always enjoy the collaborations you two produce.

Love the subtle lead guitar in the background, just adds that little extra touch to the vocal without distracting from it. Very nice solo too! You are definitely the king of melodic playing in my book.

And Robert always writes an interesting lyric and I dig his vocal too.

Very nice guys!

This is just wonderful, gentlemen! That cello is so sweet. Robert's voice lays so softly on the fabulous tracks. Such a touching lyric and the arrangement is superb. everything about this is fragile yet so strong. Sweet guitar!!! Tip of the hat!
