Across The River by Martin Valins Across the river You can see the trees bending to the winds Across ocean You cam look beyond to where the world ends Way Down an empty space A space where we belong Way down a lonely face A lonely face so strong Something is happening I can feel it through the senses to the edge and my souls is crying Trying to reach out to where you left The sky is burning Clouds are a flame shooting over my head Your love is a storm above That blows through and drifts way Across the river You can see the trees bending to the winds Across ocean You cam look beyond to where the world ends ©2016 martinvalinsmusic

The Love In Us All - Martin Valins & Monica Bergo Looking across the miles into your eyes And when you smile at me I’m hypnotized your loving sings to my heart in every way And while we are apart I hear you say We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere Here is a gift of love I have for you A thousand kisses a thousand blessings too Just look up to he stars and you will see They sparkle with desire for you from me We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere So close your eyes and think I’m by your side In dreams we have of love that does not possess or hide The bliss of your sweet hand on my face The warmth of your loving embrace We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere We can love in our hearts We will sing for the love Anytime anyhow anywhere ©2016 martinvalinsmusic

Original Profondita Poem by Monica Bergo Wandering soul I get confused between people Like an angel lost I am looking into your past And look patiently To know the ' essence What lurks in your heart If you want you can discover To the deep Right in the center of your world How many tears and secrets Maybe you've forgotten them But if you want to re-emerge And thou shalt phoenix Before ashes and pain Then you can fly by magic And feel That thrill and warmth now lost And the tear running down shines It slips Scratches inside the heart And wounds to heal Scars on the skin And this soul rebel All I know to do Notes and chords to unravel What I feel in my heart New ways to enter Deeper Deeper And pray Because the magic never ends Feel the sun on your skin The stars will admire Verses Added by Martin Valins Looking through years For the moments that are past I am looking at my life to see what will last What is left in my heart Can I discover now? Can I run to catch the sun Will I even know how The thrill of your warmth and the tears in my eyes as I come to understand as I come to realize that your touch will never be here I am drifting I am drifting I look into my life I look into your eyes Only now I can see What was my destiny how did I get it wrong When my heart was for you And my heart was for your song ©2016 monicabergo ©2016 martinvalins music

Arcadia 05:18
Arcadia In the heartland of every soul Stands a story to be told Across our deserts we look for rain Searching for something that can’t be gained In the distance we look for light Morning brings it to our eyes. But the road is broken and swept away We try again to be saved Arcadia Cries Arcadia Sighs Passions run with no restraint Across the miles a hidden gate Are we bound by who we are or do we change and contemplate Arcadia Cries Arcadia Sighs In the heartland of every soul Stands a story to be told Across our deserts we look for rain Searching for something that can’t be gained ©2016martinvalinsmusic

A Page In His Life She met him in the buzz of a big convention hall Suits and ties were all around and he was lost in this great big world But then he saw her eyes her skin so sweet and clear She was taken by his grace He reached across to kiss her gently on the cheek’ and she knew her llfe would change It took sometime before they saw each other again She asked him to meet her and her friends But when the time had come he had lost her in the crowds He had to leave without seeing her that night She wondered home sad and cried How could he miss her would he see her again For he knew his life would change. How could he find her What was he to do She had waited for him for so long As he packed his bags He turned the page in his life Now this love could not go wrong Go wrong…………….. Love had arrived and she wanted him so bad She kissed him sweetly again and again He held her close and would not let her go And he knew he would change Its seven years later he was alone once again She got bored and moved away His heart was broken his life in disarray And what to do now his life was only her No more kisses on that skin so clear She was far away only thinking of herself So his life would have to change…….again ©2016 martinvalinsmusic

Just Smile 03:41
JUST SMILE - MARTIN VALINS Sun is shining breeze on my face Kind of liking life at this pace Sitting talking in my chair Passing the time I don’t have a care. I’ve got nothing to do but smile I’ve got nothing to do but smile Just Smile. Tired of working Running round and round Had to get out Put my feet on the ground Now I am happy with less to do Doing what I want Spending time with you. I’ve got nothing to do but smile I’ve got nothing to do but smile Just Smile. Country living See the horses and cows Simply being Among the grass and flowers Simple living Loving day to day My heart is giving To you every day I’ve got nothing to do but smile I’ve got nothing to do but smile Yea Just Smile. ©2016MartinValinsMusic

Journey - Martin Valins We are on a journey Caught up on this journey How will it end? We cannot know Some will get there sooner Some will get there later All we can do right now Is let it flow All we are hoping for And all we are reaching for And all we are waiting for is there is there Looking out across the sky Where are are heading how do we try The oceans are rising the deserts' on fire In the dark of the night I will cry We all are looking for love So make this mine Make this mine And when I reach there Will I find my love If love is there I will go We are on a journey Caught up on this journey yea yea………. ©martinvalinsmusic2016

I’m Doing Fine Without You - Martin Valins How many Times did you think of me lately? How many times since where’ll through? And how many times did you want back so badly? Well I’m doing fine with out you The sun went down and was dark when you left here What you said - nothing was true Now the you’ve gone I changed my life completely and I’m doing fine without you. Our lives are on path Then how did I get lost For being who I am The wires got crossed When you came - you came around You think you are pretty smart By breaking my heart Then how do you explain These feelings of pain But I turned I turned around Thinking it over I must have been so sad But how could you be so cruel You may ask if that made me mad Well Im doing fine without you Time had come to ease away the pain You left me alone for someone new But when I look at where I stand today I’m doing fine with out you Our lives are on path Then how did I get lost For being who I am The wires got crossed When you came - you came around You think you are pretty smart By breaking my heart Then how do you explain These feelings of pain But I turned I turned around Now my days are passing so quickly I wonder what is left to do If you ever worried what happened to me maybe? Well I did just fine without you. Our lives are on path Then how did I get lost For being what I am The wires got crossed When you came - you came around So look out on the street To find a friendly face Smile in their direction Show them every grace That you’ll come - you/ll come around ………..and If you you worried what happened to me lately Well I’m doing fine without you……………… ©2016martinvalinsmusic

about

Arcadia is a collection of songs that are built around the search for Arcadia. The Greek legend of a mythical and unspoiled wilderness where there is harmony and peace in abundance. This was the first collection to include co-written songs and collaborations with other artists. The song Profondita was the first co-write with Monica Bergo. Every album (except) the Love + Acoustic set) has included songs with this Italian singer songwriter. “We have enjoyed working together and are very proud of the music we have made”. I’m Doing Fine Without You inspired by little Emitt’ Rhodes’ own comeback album in 2016.
