Details:
This CD is designed to be a gift of love. It begins with a spoken, anonymous vow and continues with 5 love songs, each dealing with a different aspect of a relationship, but affirmative in all cases.

1. Celtic Vow (0:22) read by Joshua Willoughby.
2. Back to You (4:34) A simple concept is at the heart of this song: the stresses and demands of the day are light indeed when you know you will return to the one you love. vocals: Doug Jamieson & Stacey Lee Gusé; viola: Angela Rudden, guitar: Paul Chapman; arranging & sequencing: Doug Jamieson written in 2004
3. Moonlight (4:00) A mellow canonic ballad painting a picture of two lovers under the moon and stars, sharing 'a sky, a love, a life, within this point of time'. vocals: Stacey Lee Gusé & Giselle Sanderson; guitar: Paul Chapman; Drums: Ryan Brubacher; arranging & sequencing: Doug Jamieson written in 2003
4. Airbrush (3:34) An intricate country-ish tune with some quirky lyrics about remembering and celebrating your lover - warts and all - and, for god's sake, doing it while you can. vocal: Doug Jamieson ; guitars & mandolin: Paul Chapman; arranging & sequencing: Doug Jamieson written in 1991
5. Deep Burning Yes (5:22) A passionate tune about the absolute certainty you feel for a love that goes way beyond 'uh huh', 'ok' or the like. vocal: Doug Jamieson; choral vocal: Jenny Kitson, Debbie Tilson & Linda Hendry; drums: Ryan Brubacher; arranging & sequencing: Doug Jamieson written in 1998
6. Way Too Long Since Lovin' You (3:02) Truly the most intellectual and artistic song of the collection in that the entire Odyssey of Homer has been distilled into a much more pithy and cogent work of only 3 minutes. This amazing feat is accomplished by cleverly retelling the entire story from the viewpoint of Penelope and leaving out all that other junk. vocal solo: Stacey Lee Gusé; guitar: Paul Chapman; background vocal: Debbie Tilson; arranging & sequencing: Doug Jamieson written in 2003
