Magical Snake (Collaboration with Wynia)

Liner Notes
Confession time: It has been my dream to collaborate with Wynia one day ever since I heard her first song. When Wynia posted her kind comment on my upload of Magical Snake, I summed up my courage and asked Sarah whether she would be interested in collaborating with me and I was so happy that Sarah said yes! Here is our collaboration with Sarah's magical vocal melody, vocals and instrumentation. I'm delighted with the result. I hope people who hear our song will enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you to everyone for listening and for sharing your thoughts.

Lyrics
There was a shiny green snake Who lived near a far away lake Her moves reminded of a mysterious dance You could spot her at the first glance
People who saw her, called her dancing linguine Some thought of her as a genie They hoped she could grant them their wishes Offering her delicious dishes
Snake, oh snake, magical snake, Would you cure me from my heartache? I came all the way to find you here Please make my soulmate reappear
The magical snake looked sadly at me As if she knew what I asked was not meant to be Yet I kept begging her for my second chance Then I drifted into a spinning trance
When I stopped, the magical snake wasn't there There was me and an empty air Magical snake, please return, make it fair Save me from my despair
Snake, oh snake, magical snake, Would you cure me from my heartache? I came all the way to find you here Please make my soulmate reappear
Magical snake, magical snake

nadia, this "dancing linguine" is your admission ticket to the land of poet's pride. and the stroy would make such an exotic fairy tale of a movie. and wynia's voice is perfect for this music that comes from another land, one unknown til now.
Thank you so much Bill for your generous comments and support. I'll back later listening to your amazing work.

Very enjoyable indeed. Some tension to it. Tasteful use of instruments too.

For me, the rattle and flute set the ambiance here. Nadia's piano is as elegant as ever.
Ah, if only there were a way to cure heartache, aside from time. Though I suspect that'd fundamentally change the value of love, if risk weren't involved.
