Raven Angel a vision to see
perfect in form
tailfeather to beak
purehearted sweet she sings
every note enchanting me
ancient pain pours from her soul
will she face the cold alone
each note a tender kiss
feathers dancing on bare skin
Lovely Raven mysterious and wild
yearns for flight into far eastern skies
rare and precious on obsidian wings
within her stirs a far eastern dream
Raven Angel a vision to see
perfect in form
tailfeather to beak
purehearted sweet she sings
every note enchanting

Somebody wake up Dani!

I'm awake, I'm awake! Was just hightailing off to Dreamland but got detoured.
Sigh, okay, how can I be speechless when all I do is yap? Words can't even express how touched I am, but I'll try anyway. It is such an honor to call you my friends, through thick & thin, rants & raves, laughs & even some cries. But mostly laughs!!!
This is absolutely stunning! Ann, your voice is so angelic. What an amazing gift you have, not only as a singer but as a lyricist. The control & range you have astonishes me over & over again. I can listen to you sing all day, good grief! You are a gem my wonderful friend, with a heart of gold. :)
Andrew, you sound okay! HA, as-if.... You sound fantabulous, get a load of that operatic voice! Although I never heard you sing this way before, I just knew that you could sing any style. Your voice is an amazing instrument, truly brilliant. Yes, Robert Goulet, but the REAL one, not the silly-head above! :)
A million thanks to you both, this means soooo much to me. I am completely humbled, I really am. Now that I have stopped crying, I shall venture off to sleepy-ville. You two are the BESTEST!!!
Oh, and a huge thank you to Gustavo for creating such a gorgeous piano piece!!!! :)

Oh wow....thank you everyone....Jeanette, Chrystal and Joe!!!
And big hugs to you Dani...you're very dear to our hearts and what better way to say it, than in song? Your generosity and fun spirit is infectious and my kompoz world just keeps getting better and better. You've been a huge part of that. And oh my...that video with Will is hilarious!!! Haaa!! Seriously though, when I first heard Andrew sing this, it completely blew me away...and still does....reduces me to a quivering puddle of jello every time I hear it.

Hey I was just along for this marvellous ride between the major talents of Gus (wow what a piano player) and Mrs-a Dazzla-fly. It didn't take much to dig up emotions when the subject matter is so special as a person and a talent but more so as a person. Over the last few years that I've got to know you Dani I can honestly say you're worth every moment as a friend and fellow artist.

A stupendous tribute to a super-stupendous artist/person. Such a beautiful sentiment to your lyrics, Ann...and a divine vocal. Andrew...wow!!...where have you been hiding that "Bocelli" voice? Impressive. Love Gustavo's piano track. Bravo to all!!

You guys are amazing, I have such a joy that you guys selected this track to be part of this wonderful surprise tribute. Dani is worth it 199% and nothing makes me more happy, Dani all my admiration to you for your unique talent and for always being such a wonderful person. Thanks. BTW I am going to Warsaw next weekend so I will for sure think of this track again on my way there but now not only Chopin but now all of you traveling along :)

Thanks Y'all (practising my Texan), who's Bocelli, sounds like Italian cheese Jimbo.
Gus your piano works stand on their own as sheer beauty and for a singer it is a dream to be able to waft amongst your chords and melodies. So honoured to be on this with you and grateful for your art, this is as much a tribute to you as it is to Dani and Ann well forget about it, she doesn't know how good she is and that's why she can do this, it's pure heart.

Wow.....everyone....Ray, Michael, Jim, Brooke (miss you man), Carolyn and Ryan we are all so touched and grateful for your kind words and support!!!!
@Gustavo...I agree with Andrew with my entire being. Oooh if only there were more hours in the day!!! Every precious note you play inspires me...hear your heart in every note. Although I've never met you, your phrasing and dynamics portray a beautiful, gentle and kind heart. Incredibly honored to collab with such a gifted soul. I grew up hearing my mother play Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 almost every day, so this resonates deeply in my heart.
@ Andrew my brilliant and most eeevil twim....Bocelli....seriously???...have you never heard the blind tenor who can melt the hearts of a myriad maidens....oh lordy....what are we to do with you???
sigh...
