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
The Very Worst Thing We Could Do I saw children beneath all the rubble reaching out hands to their rescuers Couldnt help wondering why schools arent built safer They might as well have been made out of paper But when I eventually switched off my TV and went out to take in the air I only thanked God I was safe in a land far away from the pain and despair In a flash then, I remembered the ink in my pen almost dried up from shameful neglect and I started to write of the terrible sight just in case I should ever forget .. In a flash then, I remembered the ink in my pen almost dried up from shameful neglect and I started to write of the terrible sight just in case I should ever forget That I have a voice and its time now to use it And though its been quiet I should speak now or lose it If I hold back words and my passion subdue then Im failing my duty and that, oh yeah that is the very worst thing I could do. In the subway, an old guy was strumming a tune A battered guitar in his feeble old hand Couldnt help wondering how this came to be Perhaps in his lifetime hed played in a band From my pocket I dropped him a handful of coins, But then turned around with a sigh of relief I only thanked God I could just walk away And turn a blind eye to his grief In a flash then, I remembered the ink in my pen almost dried up from shameful neglect and I started to write of a very sad sight just in case I should ever forget That I have a voice and its time again to use it And though its been quiet I should speak now or lose it If I hold back words and my passion subdue then Im failing my duty and that, oh yeah that is the very worst thing I could do. Yes I have a voice and I know I should use it Speak for my conscience, to speak now or lose it We all have a choice and if we all use it We must speak up louder and never abuse it If you hold back the words and your passion subdue then youre failing your duty and that, oh yeah that is the very worst thing you could do the very worst thing you could do The very worst thing We could do
