about

"I would think of Maria and a tune would come to me, a haunting melody. I would hear it, and then listen to it, and then hum it out loud, and in doing so, it would take physical shape. From nothing and nowhere it turned into sounds of cool air. […] There are times when you hit the right note without even meaning to, and those moments are magical, mysterious. Do not pray to the gods. Pray to those you once loved who are no more. They will not forget you if you do not forget them. And sometimes those guardian angels hear us, watching over us as they fly by, and let a little gold dust from their wings fall upon our own ears."

lyrics

Hi There © 2021 Malcolm Duff & Maristela Da Silva

Hi there, how are you?
It’s been a long, long time
Many moons have come and gone
Are you still a love of mine?

Hey there, can you hear me?
I see that I’ve been blind
Work all day my life away
Yet held your heart, girl, all this time…

But it’s so cold, out here tonight
I need to see your light
Shining brightly, bright as day
Just a smile away

Won’t you listen while I tell you all my tale?
It won’t take long, wait and see:
I loved a girl once, and she loved me…
Now you’re only just a smile today
Now you’re only ten thousand lonely miles away

And it’s so cold, out here tonight
I need to see your light
Shining brightly, bright as day
Just a smile away

Wait a minute now, did I hear you right?
You’re all alone and coming home tonight?
Someone, somewhere heard me pray
Now you’re only just a smile away
