Hi Steemit you know the drill, I am a music producing machine and you are just a cog in my mechanism so turn damn you! Today I am twisting the dial to 11 and hitting you with Collaboration Numero Two with the beautiful one himself @chapterclosed (see here for our first collaboration). Prafull Kaushik, AKA @chapterclosed, wrote these lyrics and posted about it here in an open call for musical collaboration.

What's all this about an "Open call for collaborators" then?
Okay Steemit I have to acknowledge that I have not always explicitly stated that I welcome and in fact encourage any form of collaboration / building upon anything I post here. It is really terrific that exemplary organisms like @buckydurddle can telepathically pick up what I am putting down and forge on ahead with collaborative gold, but I can't expect everyone to be as awesome as Bucky now can I! So for the mere mortals among us, I want to make this crystal clear: Every single thing I have ever put out here on the Steemit blockchain I have put out here in the spirit of collaboration and gift it to you freely to do what you will with. Please add a layer of your own particular madness on top of this and I will be a happy man. Thanks in advance! If you need a further example of what the floogin I am talking about with this "collaboration" nonsense, please attend this masterclass by @yusaymon. Thank you.

Drums of Heaven lyrics
(as submitted by @chapterclosed - I believe I may have some slight variations in the recorded version)
Your smile is the last mile to heaven
you chuckle and I hear drums of heaven
I hold your hands and earth stops still
you dance like butterfly hugging a Daffodil
Your smile is the last mile to heaven
You chuckle and closer I get to drums of heaven
You smile ,in a clear night ,under the moon !
Your Incense, is mist of spring ,at the noon!!
You glow ,like stars in night,mischievous & bright !
I can feel, your Colors ,even in black and white!!
Your smile is the last mile to heaven
You chuckle and I hear drums of heaven
You rule the land and roam the water free !
your irreverence stands tall like oak tree !!
Green heart and hue of white fabric ,you dance with me!
Loved by all sailors ,you told everyone"He is the captain for me"!!
