about

I composed this song in 1999 during my last semester at the Berklee College of Music
I dedicated this song to a very good friend , with who I've been sharing a lot of things until now a days.
So this last two months of confinement I had the chance to record it with good friends, everybody from their home. So I'm very proud and happy to share with you this nice, fun song dedicated to my old friend.
I recorded this song recently on my mew album Dreamscape room. Totally different version, and instrumentation. So you can also enjoy with this new version

lyrics

What if I truly understand your world
all your highs and lows
would that mean that we're really
close enough?

What if I could embrace your whole mind
all your ups and downs
would that mean that we've turned back
into one?

Wouldn't it be good?

There must be, a better way
for us to live, yes we will find it soon

What if I finally understand your world
Imagine there’s noone to blame
Nothing to say

What if we could embrace ourselves
As if we’d turned back into one, yeah

Tales From The Dreaming City (HD)
by Mark Wingfield

supported by 8 fans who also own “To be my friend”

Mark Wingfield is always recommended listening for fans of Jazz or Fusion guitar (among the names usually dropped you'll find Alan Holdsworth, Terje Rypdal, Pat Metheny). Nevertheless, this isn't just pure Jazz. I seem to hear more traces of progressive rock than in his other recordings, but probably that's just an early impression... Carsten Pieper
