For the first time I am introducing my little sister Djinnie Rasmussen.
Djinnie asked me if I would create the backing music of a 1987 Danish hit called Vårvise (spring song). The song was originally a duet between the composer Sebastian and Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø.
Djinnie wanted to record the song and give it to her husband Jørgen as a Christmas present. Naturally I could not resist such a romantic gesture and I accepted right away.
When I had done the backing I asked Stan Loh if he would write English lyrics for the song, and he accepted. And I am very thankful for that because the result is really good.
So here is the result: Robins In Love. Maybe I will also post the Danish version if encouraged to.

Lyrics
Robins In Love (C) 2014 Stan Loh
Somewhere there is sweet Summertime, But Spring must come before, Lilacs will bloom and bring the bees, Which song will warm the sun this new year?
If we could catch the sun, The snow will soon refund, The rose we love, The chirps above, Robins in love … Robins in love
Hold hands with you, like Spring and rain, Waiting for Fall to come, If nature calls the flowers crane, Over the hearts that bond, and then some,
If we could catch the sun, The snow will soon refund, The rose we love, The chirps above, Robins in love … Robins in love
Our love will rise above the snow, We’ll bond like vine untold, We’ll smell the rose when cool breeze blows, For time will wait for us, this I know.
If we could catch the sun, The snow will soon refund, The rose we love, The chirps above, Robins in love … Robins in love
