After months of random unplanned intermissions, compliments of reality and obligations at hand, me and the amazing Davood @davidfar finally managed to finish a song that has been such a long time in the making. As per usual, my little scatter brain kept messing up and sadly due to the nature of my recording equipment as well as my location there were some issues that I feel Davood had to work around, such as an unwelcome room echo - yes yes I know, I am a producers nightmare - but hey I am a simple girl after all :D But at the end of the day we ended off on a positive note, and I am happy to share the lovely new release with you!
I wrote this song with the idea of love that is able to stretch over vast distances as well as the trying times that it manages to conjure up, after writing and recording the song I sent it through to Davood, and we started working on the track in a collaborative effort, together we made some alterations that added constructively to the song where after Davood added his magic by means of haunting instrumental melodies including cello, drums, flute and guitar. The end result is an enchanting musical tale of wonder. It really is an honor and a privilege to work with @davidfar who is not only a great musician/magician but also a man with a heart of gold.
Well seeing that I have made you wait such a long time - I guess there is no point in making you wait any longer - You can listen to the track by clicking the image below:

Distant Shores; Lyrics~
Distant shores call out my name While voices within cry out in vane Frivolous hands toil in torment Time is lost while days are spent
Time and distance both stretch vast Hands stretched out but feet earthed fast The cold night air breathes out again a wondering mind caught in this flame
Chorus: I can hear the beating of your heart over valleys and oceans, tearing us apart I bow to a joker, I see as a king And I can walk out a fool or a queen
Fleeting relief from monsters in the dark Is the luminous glow of your radiant arc Yet solitude remains my friend As I reach for the fallen cause again
Echoes of words that slowly comfort me when time from chains can not break free Follow my moon and I will chase your sun we may have time when all is done
Chorus: I can hear the beating of your heart over valleys and oceans, tearing us apart I bow to a joker, I see as a king And I can walk out a fool or a queen
I drown in your ocean you frolic in my streams weaving this cloth of our endless dreams Some illusions are better seen askew as distance can lend enchantment to view
place hope in tomorrow, pray it doesn’t stray keep the faith we’ll find a way Distant voice from a distant shore Feed the hunger, evermore
Chorus: I can hear the beating of your heart over valleys and oceans, tearing us apart I bow to a joker, I see as a king And I can walk out a fool or a queen
Feel free to let me know what you think!
