'Duncan' - ORIGINAL SONG / HQ -YouTube Collaboration - Stuart Fretwell & Edward Hintze

RE-POSTED in HQ FORMAT !!! MUCH better sound . .and detail in the wave footage. VERY KEWL INDEED!! I much-prefer this version :]
I just wrote the lyrics for this one - I DON'T SING OR PLAY A NOTE - that honour goes to the incomparable Ed Hintze. Check out his Elton John 'Tribute act' , at http://www.youtube.com/edzeltoncouk

I'll post the lyrics . .just as I e-mailed them to Ed. You'll notice a few changes, here & there, and a whole verse omitted. That's all in the nature of a 'collaboration', and it always leads to something new & unexpected.


DUNCAN'S SONG Words & Music © S. Fretwell and E. Hintze 2009

Duncan was a friend of mine
He played the keys like glass
He had a special energy
That nothing could surpass

How elegantly-turned, his phrase
How sweet his melody
A love of life shone in that boy
Its spark was plain to see

Songs, filled-up with passion,
Sung right from the heart
A better understanding
Was his . . .right from the start

Chorus:

Heart of a lion
And a voice like caramel
Where those songs would lead that boy
Nobody could tell

Then, one day, he stopped his tunes
He didnt even play
He loved to share his music
But the world got in the way . . .

Cos keyboards are in black and white
Its always been that way
But life is made of stranger stuff
And lived in shades of grey . . .

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey, Duncan, stop your crying
For the lost years of your life.
Love will set you flying
And the music will survive.

I'm hoping, soon . . .
These days will pass,
Because of those you saved.
Two hearts will entwine again
'Cos friendship . . . never fades

[Zeuta1]

YES! my name is Duncan and this just MADE my day. thanks so much!

[stufish4040]

@Zeuta1 Result! I wrote it, as bet, with YouTuber, duckscli, because I thought there weren't many songs about 'Duncan's. It was partly inspired by him. I loved what Ed did with it - great chorus =]
