Homage - ballad with Mimmo

[stoman]

This is my first finished collaboration here at musicianscollaboration. Grant D. McLeman, a contemporal scottish poet, sent me his poem "Homage", and I put it to music. Mimmo was the first to answer my request for a vocalist, and he was a very good choice for sure. I love his voice.

Regards,

Here they are:

HOMAGE
(Grant D. McLeman)

She is
the first candle
and
the last candle
she is
as feminine as April
and she cancels time
with one look

With her
all my future somethings
become
my present all things
all my acts of faith
become acts of worship
all my days that were gray
become
lands of rainbow

She is the first candle
and
the last candle
the dark days vanish
when she is with me

She is the first candle
and
the last candle
she is all the light
I'll ever need

Nice song guys. Sounds really good. The piano and Mimmo's voice go really well together. Sweet tune. 

Yes, don't forget to give the lyricists credit too. I usually post the words along with the song. It's nice to read along with the music.
