When I saw the movie, I became obsessed with all the music. I just knew I had to do something with it before I would get nuts.
I asked Matthew if he wanted to do a song with me, originally it would have been the theme song but I found that this song seemed better.
It took quite a while to get things perfect. In the mean time, I have been singing in things but thanks to help I found out that my soundcard was not good enough.
Later on we bought a new soundcard and we could go on with the collab.
You have no idea how much stress was behind it, trying to get everything perfect and then finding out somethings wrong with the sound.
I was happy that my mom was willing to buy me a better soundcard, thus me not paying for it.
Without Matthew's great mixing skills it would have never become this good.
So hereby, I do thank Matthew for wanting to do this song with me.
Matthew did a small part of Raoul in the song, I think he did very well!
Hope you all will enjoy listening to this collab.
Also for those wondering what kind of accent I have. I'm Dutch.

I'm glad it's over! Phew! XD
Haha no it's been a privilege to work with Marianne and she did a fantastic job.
Even though it took us ages to actually get it done due to technical problems. I hope you enjoy it! :3


Lyrics:



CHRISTINE (Merina):
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen
don't think about the way things
which might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL (M One):
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE (Merina):
Flowers fade,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think..... of me!

Smiling Devil Says:

This is really beautifull! Instant favorite! I already told you my little point of critique, but other then that: Marvellous! You've such a brilliant voice! ( O god wat klink ik slijmerig, maar tjah, het is wel waar^^)

skinnyvee Says:

Fantastic, both of you. The background music is mixed well, and you both have very pleasant voices. It's kind of cute, Merina; I can hear a bit of your accent creeping into the singing. :) My one critique is that you should learn to prolong and lilt notes. Breathe deeply into your abdomen, and let your notes carry longer... You'll be an angel of music in no time. ~wink~

Tiomara Says:

Awesome collab guys! I'm loving it!

JelmerBV Says:

Great! (like I already said ^^)

Fox Amoore Says:

Wonderful! There were a couple of very minor things, but people have already picked up on those so that doesn't matter. It's wonderful, I'm going to make sure more people listen to this. Well done to you as well Matt!
