New Tibet, a ruthless world of snow and ice, and here I was, lured to it by the promise of wealth and opportunities unseen. Only I should have reconsidered when I had the chance...
Lyrics:
Lost in the gleam of unrecognizable stars
- a gem in the sky they said! -
Maybe they mentioned the cold, the raging snow,
But they never said, I'd be all alone!
I paid for my ticket, I signed off all I owned on a whim
- fortune and wealth they said! -
Yes of course there'd be hardship, yes of course there was a risk,
but one I hadn't planned on facing on my own
This cold brings out the worst in every man!
I unlock the door, I shake off all the water on my coat
- a tiny place, but my own -
Even though it looks gloomy, even though it's not much,
through gritted teeth I've come to call it home.
We met at a bar, two lonely strays, who came to forget
- by drinking their sorrow away -
we were oh so different, the leopard and the wolf,
but when you looked at me my spirit was aglow
Seems you bring out the good in every man!
Loving you tonight like there's no tomorrow,
Share this life with me, we'll forget our sorrow,
never mind the diff'rence, I won't let you feel sad,
I'll hold you tight, I'll make you forget
And now we're together, my comfort in an alien land
- keeping the sorrow away -
But at night when you're asleep, I hear you crying softly,
though I hold you I just do not understand.
One day in summer, we watched the waning light in the park
- a tiny glimpse of home! -
And yet your mood is wistful, your loss so clear,
I find the answer in your shiver in the dark.
This world brings out the worst in every man!
A pair of rabbits, grazing, watching over their young,
- fortune and wealth they said! -
your unspoken desire, I really should have known,
but it's the one thing that I know not how to grant!
I've made my promise, although it likely breaks my heart!
- a gem in the sky they said -
I'll set you free, I cannot see you grieve,
although it means I cannot have you for myself!
Seems you bring out the good in every man!
Loving you tonight like there's no tomorrow,
Share this life with me, we'll forget our sorrow,
never mind the diff'rence, I won't let you feel sad,
I'll hold you tight, I'll make you forget
Loving you tonight like there's no tomorrow,
Share this night with me, we'll forget our sorrow,
never mind what's coming, warm my frozen heart,
who knows some day there'll be a new start!
Your Heart - eyes are filled with tears -
Desire - to see you smile again -
Your wish - It is granted -
Loving you tonight like there's no tomorrow,
Share this night with me, we'll forget our sorrow,
never mind what's coming, remember what has been
Lose yourself in our dream
This song was first performed live at the furry music cafe at Eurofurence several years ago. I finally got around to producing a studio version.
Written, composed, sung and (mostly) performed by me, with the help from some of my musically inclined dear friends:
Heather Alexander,
chama,
renech - background vocals
the_CLA - many wonderful ideas for the drum track

Thank you so much for helping me with this.
And the rest of you, sit back and enjoy the story.

Definitely a shame Alex isn't here on FA, but aye... so many memories! Even if I weren't involved in this piece, I've made my contribution. As I, and many others, say... I rather sing, than good! It's great fun, for sure. Lots of feelings and emotions are brought up through this medium of communication. I someday wish I can contribute again.
I found this because my dear friend Mooie had favourited it.
I think I have listened to this song at least 20 times in the past two weeks, and I love this song so much! :)
It is so touching, and so beautifully performed. I love the arrangement, and the guitar-solo. I may not understand what the lyrics are about, but they are truly emotional, and brings tears to my eyes as I hear them sung by you.
Great work on this wonderful song!

This song is meant to convey many emotions, but I am always struggling with getting them right when performing it. I always feel I'm not doing the piece justice.
But I just won't be able to afford to hire Meat Loaf to perform it for me
The guitar solo was actually played on my bass, then pitched up before running it through Guitar Rig (amp simulator software). I tried to do it on guitar first, but I'm not good enough on that instrument.

In this recording, your performance is certainly doing the piece justice. I would not start to cry from hearing it, if your vocals were not conveying the emotion!
Oh, I would never have guessed that the solo is originally played on a bass and then having the sound altered! That's lovely! It has a great sound!
As for myself, I am a bass player also, and I love bass solos! This will make me love the solo in this song even more now!

I finally have a stereo in my new car where I can play music on USB-sticks again. I have a USB stick with 17 of your songs on it, that I made in 2013, and I was listening to your songs often while driving.
But for a few years, all my cars have only had a CD-player in the stereo, until now!
So today, when I was out for a long drive, I listened to those 17 songs from you, and they are all so good!
My favourite song is this one, No Tomorrow. It had been a few years since I last heard it, and it once again brought me to tears. Such an absolute masterpiece of a song!
