this song was born here on MCS, grew up outside and is now back home. Johnny wrote the wonderful lyrics for my first little draft, we talked about it in the opinion forum thread.

Thanks to all who helped me along the way!

Stay

Why,
Please tell me why
If changing's all it takes
You know I'll try

Fate,
Ocean of our dreams
Swam a great blue whale
thru my sub-conscious stream

Can't help but feel
That what we share is good
Only, sometimes...perhaps misunderstood

So now
You have to go away
It's selfish...
But I'm begging you stay

We'll play an have our way
On SOULful sunny days
An conquer all the FRONTIERs yet to come

Years and years of searching
Believing in my heart
That I would somehow find you in this mess
You can call me crazy
but I knew it from the start
We saw the stars aligning just for us
 
So you have to go away
And I should say, "Okay"
But in my heart I'm begging you...stay

Update 17.11.11
sorry, I forgot to add the unplugged version. It's now here  ;)

thank you Paul and Dave!

yes Johnny wrote perfect lyrics for this song. Dave I agree its a shame that I did it outside MCS but what to do this guys were so fast... ;D I had their first auditions before I was able to start it in studio A.

Next time? Or if you like we can make our own version here!

hey Holger,

Thank you for posting this gem. You have been involved in many a fine song - but this one suits you to a T. Your performance is top class, along with rest of the band. The lyrics are well thought out too.

The melody is very appealing. The mixing/production is wonderful as well sounds radio ready.

You guys should do an entire project's worth of songs like this, I would buy the album!

Well done again!
Andy

This turned out beautiful Holger! :)

Thanks guys for the lyric kudos, i had a great piece of music to work with

Holger, this is as lovely as anything we've done together, but, in my opinion...

"ever onward" sits a little higher on the shelf 8) Cheers, my friend!

PS. Let's do "fool heart"

thank you Johnny for the beautiful lyrics! Something has to be on top and you cannot go over the top  ;).
I love both songs, "stay" is a very special song for me, it has a story behind...you know I told you that I need a break and will (at least for awhile) stay away from MCS and online collaboration....and you wrote "stay".

I'm surprised about all the great response and feedback for "ever onward" and I'm very happy and proud. But "stay" is at the moment my favourite song. Maybe its always the same....the youngest child is the sweetest... ;D ;D ;D in the eyes of mum and dad  ;D

Really Good Holger I`m diggin it.

thanks a lot mate, hope we can come together soon for a song! If you have something for me please let me know!

Is this the mix I heard over at Recording.de, or has Eberhard tweaked it? Sounds very good to me now, very suitable. Great listen.

I think this is your best song so far, Holger. And all the others were great already.

Always looking for opportunities to mix your songs. Feel free to ask!
