LAKE NAVERONE ON YOUTUBE

LAKE NAVERONE ON FACEBOOK

My family and I spent a wonderful Easter weekend at Lake Naverone in the Drakensberg. I wrote this song while we were there last year but this year I got round to taking some footage and putting together a video and I don't think I ever posted it to the forum.

Lyrics:
Its six am the sun is rising
The mist is floating on the lake
It lifts its veil long enough for you to see
The shimmering of the day

The first sweet moments of the day unfold
The quiet like a whisper creeps
Time stands before you hours come and go
And open up the space to dream

By yourself but not alone
When you're out at Naverone
Easy like when you're at home
Lake Naverone

You can’t imagine somewhere so beautiful
Could be outside your door
Nothing can take away those memories
Find the peace you're looking for

By yourself but not alone
When you're out at Naverone
Easy like when you're at home
Lake Naverone

Something deep inside of you says that
This is the right thing to do

By yourself but not alone
When you're out at Naverone
Easy like when you're at home
Lake Naverone

You pack your bag stop for one last look
Egyptian geese slip past
You sadly walk away with sorry footsteps
The time has come to say goodbye

By yourself but not alone
When you're out at Naverone
Easy like when you're at home
Lake Naverone

Beautiful chorus! You could have repeated it a few times at the end. It's just lovely.

And your harmonies are delightful.

What a wonderful uplifting song!

much enjoyed

Joanne, you knocked another one out of the park!

Everything about this is top shelf.

Your voice is getting better and better with each song.

A wonderful vacation I just took and I didn't even leave the house.

Super job!

Hi Joanne

I certainly have to agree with all the others. The song is as pretty as the film footage, which is gorgeous. We loved the several interludes with the mandolin - that really topped it off for us.

That's a lovely place ... it doesn't get much prettier than that. We can see the inspiration for your writing. Beautiful song and equally wonderful video. This is just so good!

Some quite extraordinary lyrics here.

"The first sweet moments of the day unfold
The quiet like a whisper creeps
Time stands before you hours come and go
And open up the space to dream"

This song has a fantastic vibe throughout. The choice of instruments is perfect, everything just works together so well.

Lawrence. Thank you! It is a very uplifting place.

Robert. Thanks you and thanks for the comment on Youtube too!

Scott, thank you very much for commenting,

David, Yes, thanks, we did have a lovely time doing things like bike riding, playing tennis, hiking and playing board games that we never get to do when we have our computers and the TV.

Mario. Ha ha. yes I hoped to convey that feeling. It is the most beautiful place.

Al and Di - Thank you! I actually did record the song last year shortly after returning from our Easter break but this year I got round to doing the video.

Steve. Thanks! It was too short unfortunately

Rob and Anne-Marie. Glad you liked the video.

Tommy. It certainly does make you wish for more vacation time.

Floyd. The video footage was just shot on my iphone (I have a iphone 7 that has the most awesome camera)

peterF. Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment

Trevor. So glad you picked those lines. They are my favourite in the songs as well.

Beautifully performed, written, arranged and produced.

It's nice to see you back around the user forum!

Personalizing the images for the video was a great idea. It brings a lot of feeling to the lyric.

BTW, Janice and I watched a travel show on your lovely country the other night. It was very enjoyable as was this production!
