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.

Lyrics
Too High to Pay by Dawn Sinclair You told me you wanted a guy for all seasons You said you'd never leave me without good reason I trusted you as keeper of my heart I should have known that nothing is perfect The shadows in your eyes were hiding your secret - Now I'm alone, my dreams are all blown apart Loves not what I expected, I thought I'd be protected Now I'm building walls to keep it all away You know that I'm through with all temptation; I've got my motivation The price for loving yous too high to pay Too high to pay I kissed your sweet lips And whispered sweet nothings You held me so tight And gave me your loving I should learn to read between the words you say You told me you wasnt a man who would cheat me I looked in your eyes and trusted completely I mustve been blind to miss the signs within I know now I should have seen the lies you were telling But youll never hear me screaming or yelling I just wont revisit the places I have been You cant say that I never tried. You just told me too many lies And loving yous too high a price to pay Too high to pay Too high to pay
