English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
This began life with different lyrics (Crazy Love) and was popular with some, but Juri was not happy with his lyric, so he asked me to do alternate one. I am very happy too, because I researched Italy and other aspects of the song and really enjoyed myself. I was thrilled that, after choosing barley wine as the guy's tipple, I discovered that it's been used before in popular songs including one from Rolling Stones...so I guess we are in good company :) Also, I heard Chris Maxwell singing on AndyF's page and just knew I had to get him for this song -- his vocal here justifies my belief that he is a wonderful, emotional singer...thanks Chris!
Lyrics
Alessandra lyrics by dawn sinclair music by Juri Rosenfeld Alessandra, in my dreams Nothing’s ever really what it seems Tuscan beauty, so divine Stole my breath like barley wine Flaming sunset, hand in hand Did we capture romance for a while Eyes could mesmerise and hold Turned each moment into gold Now you’re gone, and all the colours turned to blue Alessandra, you got me dreaming Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine Alessandra, is this called living Late September, sultry nights Nothing ever really felt so right I can’t recall how long it’s been Nothing ever feels the same to me Did the heavens need my girl Or was she simply too good for this world Who knows the secrets lost in time I’m left alone with barley wine yeahhhhh Tuscan beauty, you got me dreaming all the time Don’t know how to live without you Left alone, you know I’m drinking barley wine All I do is think about you music solo Alessandra, without your colours in my life I 'm not living, I'm just dreaming Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine Alessandra, I can’t stop dreaming Alessandra, you got me dreaming all the time Tuscan angel, is this living? Close my eyes and I can still taste barley wine Alessandra, I can't stop dreaming
