‘You Are The One’
by Ian Martyn
A love song, describing in a loose way an early encounter Mirjam and I had together. Both of us entrenched with our own journey of discovery and direction in life. Yet from an implausible, unusual and unimaginable situation, the mystery and power of life’s energy created an opportunity which could not be imagined or understood.
Other people may identify with the lyrics, as is an encounter of two hearts, two souls, meeting and connecting.
The Waltz combined with a Tango portray the romance and the passion.
The instrumental solos build to a passionate crescendo in the Tango, two instruments, like two people, communicating to each other. Finally leading you back to the warmth and embrace of the Waltz.
Writing the music for this song was challenging, in the way of connecting two styles and two rhythms from different parts of the world. However, they easily flow between the styles, adding to the message of the song and fusing the music.

(Waltz)
I saw you on a summer’s day,
You were lost in your thoughts and you seemed far away,
But something made you look my way, then I knew,
“You are the one I dreamed of.
You are the one all above.
You are the one that I love”
(Tango)
I can feel it, oh yes, I can feel it,
And I can see it in you.
Can you feel it ? I know you can feel it,
As I can see it in you.
‘Cos I don’t want to be in this world without you, I want to be together.
‘Cos I don’t want to live in this world without you, I want to be forever.
(Waltz)
We took our chance and we held hands,
We walked for a while enjoying our romance.
We laughed aloud when we made our plans together.
“You fill my world with desire,
You fly me higher and higher
You set my heart all on fire”
“You are the one I dreamed of
You are the one all above
You are the one that I love”
