DESCRIPTION:
Alright, so here is something a little special and different. :)
This is a collaboration between two musicians, a writer and a vocalist from three different countries around the world. Thanks to internet for making this possible. :P

As my YouTube channel's "birthday" was April 16th (I totally forgot!!) XD
I think this video is one great way to mark this milestone.
I remember two years from this month when I created my YouTube channel, Tartalo Music and Dracovallis were two of the very first YouTube channels I subscribed to. I was thinking one day it would be nice to have a "Big" channel like them, with people that would follow my work. A dream.

But here I am now collaborating with those composers. :)

I had the pleasure to sing the lyrics as well as adding background vocals on this song! I must say it's not too often that I sing lyrics in this music genre. :)

I'm very fussy about the singing, and sometimes I feel like I lack clear pronunciation of the words, or don't sing with the right type of voice... etc. But I enjoyed working on this piece and it inspires me to keep singing lyrics, Maybe I will get a bit more confident on that side too? ^^
I would love to hear your opinion on this great collaboration, and I do hope you will enjoy it!

Don't forget to check out the other artists that took part in creating this piece, Dracovallis for the original composition, Tartalo for the Celtic instruments and Albert Quallenkamp for the beautiful lyrics. You can find the links to their pages below. :)

Lyrics:

Elysian Forest

There's a magical forest of yearning,
and of old days forever returning
Not a mundane man nor a plain lady
would ever tread its pathways shady.

Far away from this world of confusion
the forest awaits you in lofty seclusion
to share the secrets of treasures forgotten,
of fairy-like queens with their hearts made of cotton.

Oh the water is sweeter than ever
when you drink from the Lake of Forever
so well-shielded by stout oaks and black firs
as the cool wind with secrecy murmurs.

Lost deep in the twilight, a throne room is waiting,
there a rose-woven heart will whisper a vow
with lips soft, sedating and a new life will start.
Far away from this world of confusion (5)

Composed and arranged by Dracovallis
Strings, guitars and percussion by Dracovallis
Vocals by Claudie Mackula
Uilleann pipes, Low & tin whistles, hurdy gurdy and fidule by Tartalo Music
Lyrics by Martin Kronborg
