Sail upon the Sound

Hi, I’m new here and this is the first time I’ve been brave enough to upload a song! I don’t profess to be a singer and am hoping to find someone who would like to sing my songs one day. This song was written following a trip to Milford Sound in New Zealand. Lyrics are as follows:

Never seen a land so beautiful
Such a wonderful place to be
Where the waters flow down the mountain slopes
Running fast into the sea
Never had this feeling of enchantment
Where everything’s so pure and free
Wish I could take you there to show you
To sail upon the sound with me

Shimmering soft reflections
Of the mountains and the sky
There’s a picture in the sound tonight
Such beauty cannot lie
We could sit and watch the sun go down
See the first stars of the night
Just you and I in this deserted place
Finding our paradise

We could feel the cool serenity between the mountain walls
We could almost touch the clouds or cruise beneath the falls
In that special place I found at last, tranquility
And in your eyes I see my dreams
Sail upon the sound with me, sail upon the sound with me

Never had this feeling of enchantment
Where everything’s so pure and free
Wish I could take you there to show you
To sail upon the sound with me
Wish I could take you there to show you
To sail upon the sound with me

  1. Really enjoyed that Anne, I like your voice, and as Phil says it became more confident as the song went on. Looking forward to your next one, I would like your voice to be a little more prominent above the instruments, no need to hide it.

  2. Well done for taking what feels like a gigantic step. This a a very lovely song and your vocals are so much better than you think they are…we are always our own worst critics. I’ve been to Millford Sound…I’m right there with you.

  3. Welcome Anne! You have a lovely sweet voice which is really fitting for this song. I really think if songwriters can sing their own songs they should, they bring a unique interpretation that others will miss..Lovely descriptive lyrics and pretty tune and fab production! . Keep them coming, look forward to hearing more.

  4. This an impressive first posting, Anne, and your arrangement is lovely, with beautiful harmonies. As others have said, I enjoy hearing you sing your own song; your vocals suit this song well. I really hope we hear much more of you in the future.

  5. Hiya Anne.
    Your vocals are fine.
    Your harmonies are lovely.
    Your song is very pretty.
    I could hear a bass in my head which could add a lot.
    What a fabulous first posting 😮
    Please stick at it.
    Well l done! X

  6. Thank you to everyone who listened and commented on my song. I appreciate all of your feedback and have enjoyed taking part in April’s challenge. Congratulations to Ian Ball on a great winning song.
