A plea from the heart !!!

In the Beach Blanket mixter compo SackJo22 did a superb version of a song of mine, which I wrote for an ex girlfriend.
I love the song, but my missus thinks this work shows I still have romantic feelings, which I don’t.

My lovely wife has had her looks spoiled by medication so she is a little bit insecure, which is a shame.

Could someone help me out on ccmixter by recording a song I wrote for her. There’s no copyright at all, I would just like a singer to do it justice (I’m a punk not barry white or celine dion etc)

The song is available in a skeletal for at http://www.jamendo.com/en/a...

here’s the lyrics
sometimes it’s the simple things
are all you need to make the day
to stare into your eyes and know
you’ll never leave
your here to stay
the sweet perfume
of summer bloom
the birdsong in the air
i don’t need another thing
because i know you’re there
the sun and moon may come and go
the wind the rain the morning dew
when i wake up i say a prayer
and thank the lord that i’m with you
a million dollars won’t buy your love
it never can compare
for i don’t need another thing
because i know you’re there.

Much appreciated (I’ll also pay $20 to singer on the best version)

most of this stuff includes separate vocal and instrumental parts, and is all public domain.

Thanks again!

I particularly like the jazz version. It looks like you are the winner! - send me a message with your address and I’ll get round to mailing you a few bucks in the next month or so.
