Rab and I really hope you guys enjoy this one. We had great fun writing recording it. Have fun listening to it.

Sailboat
A sailboat traveling along
Someone else's coat alone
You're standing on the shore and I hope
I hope you'll come along, oh no
Whenever you decide to go
The horizon is our only goal

Love isn't always something we share (you know it's true our love can take us there)
Your dreamy eyes, your youth, our love can take us there
I wonder as I gaze
At the ocean waves
If your island is the place where I should anchor up and stay
You're on my mind

The very first time that I saw
The depths of ocean floors I felt small
You know the cold and ominous flow
Will drag you down below
For good
There is no way we can go back
Not after what we once had

Love isn't always something we share (you know it's true our love can take us there)
Your dreamy eyes, your youth, our love can take us there
I wonder as I gaze
At the ocean waves
If your island is the place where I should anchor up and stay
Our lifetime ride

Everything we own and hold close
Would some day wither, no, and forego
The unrelenting chain of events
Of whatever now remains in our souls
Ocean shepherds will be heard
And inherit our living world

Love isn't always something we share (you know it's true our love can take us there)
Your dreamy eyes, your youth, our love can take us there
I wonder as I gaze
At the ocean waves
If your island is the place where I should anchor up and stay
We'll find a way

Swedish Frog, I believe this is my favorite song you've posted on the board so far.  Great laid back feeling that will sound even better in the spring/summer.  Rab, great job on the singing, playing, and production, as always.

We should add this to the smileysmile comp that I am never going to make!

Very cool & mellow. I like it!

So how does your collaboration process work? Does Swedish Frog write the lyrics and Rab then comes up with a melody and records it?

[rab2591]

Swedish Frog records a melody he hears in his head, usually with lyrics. He writes all of the lyrics - sometimes I'll request a change, but solely for timing at the end of a verse or whatnot.

I'll then take his melody and see what chords fit under it. Send it back to him for approval. Once we get all the chords figured out the way we want them, I record all the instrumentals and vocals, Swedish Frog will recommend ideas (harmonies, production tidbits, etc). I'll then mix it and then we release it. Usually how it goes.

Thanks for listening!
