Lyrics, composing, vocals and saxophone by Päivi
           Guitars by Kari
           recorded on Micro BR

Hello! This is my very first song I've ever made. Kari plays guitars and recorded it on Micro-BR. I played saxophone first time for many years.

This is a story about a man, who is rowing his boat alone in the middle of lake. It's getting dark and he hears cranes singing and sees a lantern on the jetty. There's somebody else, who is lonely. So - this song tells about loneliness and yearning. Thank for listening.

Very beautiful singing and music. Love your voice singing along to Kari's guitar, and the saxophone really adds a lot of atmosphere! Makes me want to listen again.

Wow Paivi and Kari, this is wonderful! Your voice is stunning... for us Brits I guess there is a flavour of the traditional Irish folk feel popularised by Clannad & Enya, but for me this is definitely Finnish/Scandinavian... you paint a picture of loneliness & yearning wonderfully. I loved this

A beautiful and atmospheric song. Flows along so naturally, and the performances are perfect. The combination of Kari's guitar and the haunting vocal is a winner. Don't stop what you're doing - this is such a wonderful sound / style. Lovely song.
