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
Juri sent me the music, which was so bluesy I had absolutely no trouble writing for it...but it has been on the back burner while we wrote a couple more because we were in the swing of the bluesy stuff...seems like we have the knack for it. Juri did such an amazing job of the vocals that I was gobsmacked when I heard it for the first time.
Lyrics
A Stranger, A Suitcase and a Car lyrics by Dawn Sinclair You know that it’s time When you stare at your life And you don’t recognise who you are The picture on the wall Is a mirror to your soul And your blessings are the coins inside a jar I’ve lived every day In an ordinary way I work and I play by the rules Watch the sun rise and set That’s as good as it gets The stars up above my only jewels chorus Got as far as the county line Called up that girl of mine Told her I won’t be going far She’s not one for big goodbyes Another man will dry her eyes A stranger, with a suitcase, and a car I don’t remember when I gave up on my dreams and put away my daddy’s saxaphone It might have been when I Forgot to sit down and cry For every wasted hope lost in my home CHORUS I’m heading for the sea this time Not looking for hills to climb My back aches from the burdens of the past I’ll stop when I’m low on gas When people just see me as A stranger with a suitcase and a car
