Artist picture
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
The lyric tells the story of a young lady whose most unusual medical condition is gradually stealing the quality of her life away from her. She does have a deep and abiding faith in God, but most people would even find that difficult to maintain as first hearing, then parts of her body and face are lost. In addition, she remains outwardly one of the sunniest, most gentle people I have ever met in my life and her beautiful poetry while sometimes sadly reflective is never morbid or depressing. She is my hero... a beautiful soul and to me, the closet to an angel on Earth I shall ever know. That she prefers not to share her pain with others is not uncommon but that she feels this is the price she must pay for the bounties in her life is astounding for the very worst of her illness is that more and more often people regard this once beautiful woman as a freak and it is this tragedy that motivated my pen. I cannot thank Mark Holley enough for his brave and successful attempt to match the words with his outstanding musical score. And we both owe a debt to Mark Alexander and Dawn Diamond for their dedication in making this song one that the young lady subject would be most proud of if she still had the ability to hear. This is dedicated to my friend.
Lyrics
I Will Harbour The Pain by Dawn Sinclair V1 I see the world through a rosy haze Spend every night forgetting all my days Hoping the world can overlook my funny ways I am the mystery; they can't see me I hear nothing but the voices of my mind I'm reading lips that try hard to be kind My hands speak for me, to the ones who are not blind I am the mystery; to even those who see chorus this is place life chose for me I am the woman that can not be free I am the child left out in the rain But I won't complain, no I won't complain I won't let hurt show when they turn away Holding back my tears for just one day And I'll never ask the question “why?” when I pray I will harbour the pain. V2 I walk alone through this corridor Looking ahead as if there might be more Cuz if there's nothing then, what's it for? It’s a mystery; makes no sense to me Another day the surgeon wields his knife Another moment cut... out of my life And I remember that... no one does it twice That's no mystery; seems like bliss to me Chorus this is place life chose for me I am the woman that can not be free I am the child left out in the rain But I won't complain, no I won't complain I won't let hurt show when they turn away Holding back my tears for just one day And I'll never ask the question “why?” when I pray I will harbour the pain. outtro I know that some day... I'll get to do it right And on that day my life will turn to endless night But until then I'll do as I must to keep sane I’ll harbour the pain; ..... harbour the pain.
