English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
Peo wrote this period piece as a tribute to Vera and then asked me to write a fitting lyric and I had great fun researching the music of the 40's, with especial attention to that of the female vocalists. I realised as I was listening that there is one lady around at the moment who could really sing the heart into this song and I asked Vonee to record it for us. I am delighted to say, she accepted.
Lyrics
Vera words: Dawn Sinclair, Music: His Master’s Choice vocalist: Vonee Rose As the orchestra plays, I can hear my heart throbbing then my feet tap a beat as I reach for the mike there's a million songs... I'd love to sing if notes are aligning with lyrical timing I could croon a sweet tune in the style of Miss Ella maybe “Don't Fence Me In” or “Begin the Beguine” But I’d never aspire to anything higher than our own Vera Lynn chorus When she sang the song “We’ll Meet Again” all the soldiers had tears in their eyes and they joined in to sing “Bless ‘Em All” as they parted from loved ones with their goodbyes I could sing from the heart... like dear Dinah or Judy maybe “Bidin’ My Time”, maybe “I’ll Walk Alone” but the songs of our Vera feel oh so much dearer singing our soldiers home solo If I sing the song "We’ll Meet Again Don´t know where and I don´t know just when" will they join in with tears in their eyes show our Vera... our love for her never dies If I stood on the stage like our beautiful Vera Would “The White Cliffs of Dover” sound as sweet to them then Would you “Wish Me Goodluck As You Wave Me Goodbye” “When the Lights go on again”
