Groping in the Dark (Topi's song with orh's lyric)

[Ella]

This is a song from collabs. My son Topi made a tune with piano. James wrote the lyrics to it and asked me to sing it. So I did. I think James made the song very touching and words are suitable for me to sing. Kari added TJ Cello on some spots.

Thank you James and thanks for listening. 

chance a fine thing
but a fire burns
I will strike the match
light the candle
to find the way
still groping in the dark
but I will see through
the mist and shadow
as we grow

take my hand
and come with me
together we are stronger
mistakes may happen
along the way
to go boldly
ever forward
we will see through
the mist and shadow
we will grow
we will see through
the mist and shadow
we will grow

chance a fine thing
but a fire burns
I will strike the match
light the candle
to find the way
still groping in the dark

oh my! i got goosebumps, i am so glad i suggested that you sing this.

FMGWABP!

[Ella]

I am glad too. I loved to sing it. There was 4 version of the song in the collabs. All were so great. I think the strings sounded so good with the song, so we used it also.

This is so beautiful, it brought a tear to my eye to listen. Päivi, your voice is wonderful, and what a great lyric from James. Piano and TJ cello from Topi and Kari make the perfect musical background.

Lovely - I'm playing it again.

Beautiful Ella, Really Beautiful......Alex

[Johnny Robbo]

Beautiful... just beautiful. Well done chaps!

[Pine]

This is just beautiful. Topi's fine, gentle piano comp was all the backup needed here

james wrote some very poignant lyrics that fell in love with the piano

Ella, your vox were just wonderful. What i like most about them was that there were no effects on them at all...which made the song so sensitive and personal and heartfelt. You sound so vulnerable which just totally works with the solo piano and the lyrics which speak of hope through Life's adversity.

Bravo to all on this!!
