Sinéad
A beautiful inspiring composition, lyrics dripping with poetry all perfectly captured by the sweet soulful voice of Emma Langford, who I believe is a true Irish songbird!

lyrics
Mariana, listen to me,
I know an ocean lies between us,
But dear lady, honest truly,
I perceive more than I’ve seen thus far
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now, you don’t have to hold back
Mariana, in your bright eyes
I see dark skies ever looming
But amiga if I had the sunshine I would wrap it round your neck to warm you
Eastern beauty it’s a strange land,
And we’re strangers in this life
But dear lady, honest truly, it gets easier now, let it in a little light
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now, you don’t have to hold back,
have to hold back
Mariana, when your voice fades
Oh your soul shines like a beacon
And dear lady when your boy says that he misses you do you hear him?
Eastern beauty it’s a strange land,
And we’re strangers in this life
But dear lady, honest truly, it gets easier now, let it in a little light
And you, you’re much stronger, not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back
You can shout now, let it out now,
you don’t have to hold- you, you’re much stronger,
not much longer now ‘til this load comes off your back,
you can shout now, let it out now,
You don’t have to hold back,
have to hold back
Mariana, listen to me
You don’t have to hold back

Alec has been part of my musical life since I first trod the boards in 2016, he's a fantastic composer, arranger and performer - check out his album The Stepping Stone and support his patreon Emma Langford
I've had the great joy and privilege of collaborating with Herb aka Arvo Party a number of times, and his remixes and original work are always tasty and tasteful Emma Langford
Her voice is a beautiful instrument, listen you'll see what I'm taking about Great beats, melodies. Not just a great Rap/ Hip Hop album, great album period. BetoR
