My Kara tribute

[offthewall]

Kara’s Song – One Life.

We only live one life
Got to make it the best that we can
The only time we have in this world
I’m thinking that we should help our fellow man

I knew someone who did just that - he thought he should
He shared with everyone who asked - just what he could
If we could see things the way he did
Life may be worthwhile.

We only live one life
Learning as we go along our way
Inspired by the actions of those in our esteem
It’s up to us to pass things on so we repay

I knew someone who did just that - he thought he should
He shared with everyone who asked - just what he could
If we could see things the way he did
Life may be worthwhile.

We only live one life
My friends have taught me what to do to get the best
To pass on our knowledge to all that we befriend
Give it, share it, at each request.

I knew someone who did just that - he thought he should
He shared with everyone who asked - just what he could
If we could see things the way he did
Life may be worthwhile.

This is a fine song. Straight from the heart.

[Azell]

Merci pour cette si belle chanson et ces merveilleuses paroles. Je suis très touchée.

Thank you for this beautiful song and these wonderful words. I am very touched.

Thank you for this beautiful song and these wonderful words

The thing is ... when I look back I can't quite believe how much music I have shared with Rony over the past few months. We have bounced so many ideas between each other and I now realise just how much advice and wisdom he passed on to me. 

Le fait est que ... quand je regarde en arrière je n'arrive pas à croire à quel point la musique que j'ai partagées avec Rony au cours des derniers mois. Nous avons rebondi tant d'idées entre eux et je me rends compte à quel point les conseils et la sagesse qu'il m'a transmis.

il était fatigué de son job et il voulait se consacrer à la musique. Ce site a été une révélation pour lui, au début, il ne savait pas qu'il était capable de composer autant. C'était sa 2ème vie, dommage qu'elle se soit arrêtée si vite. Ce que j'ai aimé, c'est qu'il a essayé tous les styles et qu'il réussissait toujours a faire quelque chose avec. Maintenant, je passe mes soirées à écouter vos compositions et il y en a de vraiment très bonnes. Merci de continuer KM.

he was tired of his job and he wanted to devote himself to music. This site was a revelation to him, at first he did not know he was capable of composing as well. It was his second life, damage it has stopped so quickly. What I liked is that he has tried all styles and he always managed to do something with it. Now I spend my evenings listening to your compositions, and there are really very good. Thank you for continuing KM.

Thank you for continuing KM

    It was HIS passion .... which he has passed on to all of us here!

C'était sa passion .... dont il a transmis à chacun d'entre nous ici!

James,

This is a very beautiful song & I am very moved by it. Certainly one of your best works & I am really inspired by it. That being said,I was wondering if you would consider collaborating with me on this one.
Your tune stands very well as it is,but I would like to accentuate your song with some light touches,such as a bass line,a back up vocal,minimal percussion & some pads or strings to accent certain areas of the song.

This song has a wonderful "Crosby,Stills & Nash" vibe to it and I would be honored to be a part of it,if you're interested at all in my participation.

Thanks for comments, guys.

Thom,
Our erstwhile friend Muddyjoe (who was a member here for a short while and is also over at KVR) asked me the same thing.
I am sorting out the individual tracks to send to him so, when I get that organised, I shall send them to you also.
Why don't we have a 'see how many different versions' approach to this?
Could be interesting 

I did originally consider putting some (Eleanor Rigby style) cello action in, but thought it would be better open-ended to allow for others to add.

Excellent song James, full of emotions.

I would like to dedicate him a song as well. He was a friend of mine and a good man.......

[offthewall]

Thom,
I've uploaded all the tracks to FTP.
Sent you an e-mail with details to your aol addy.  Hope that is still current 
Let me know if it is not!

Outstanding song James.

A great tribute to a great man.

PS – isn’t it funny how a man like Ronny can come into your life and have such a dramatic effect on it?  I have never met the man but I consider him my brother.  He was always honest but encouraging at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed our collaborations.  I really miss him.

[Moon]

Thanks James. Beautifull indeed.

It's true we only have one life. But even though Kara's life was short; he realy lived his live. My sister told me that she don't know anybody who lived more than Kara. He lived for sure !

You're a troubadour.
