A lifespan of love stems from an endless feeling of deep commitment that is ever changing and always in motion. My heart opened up with a tender expression on this track that is dripping with sentiment and imagery. It has everything that a love ballad needs; a perfect song for weddings, commitments and friendships. Smokeywine Duo unleashed this acoustic gem at Lucienne and Kosta's wedding a few years back, in a beautiful setting, under a canopy of trees and lush growth with friends and family gathered around in a loving circle.
Here are some photos from that day in August, 2014. I was looking pretty dapper in my bolo tie and western suit. How could I not look good standing beside my gorgeous Lea. She's the reason I write these mushy love songs. They are warm, sincere and full of honesty; enough to make you melt into the arms of the one you are dancing with. (leasheldan.com)
'Love is a Jewel' is my gift to the star struck lovers in the world. It's as cheesy as it gets with moments of brilliance. The complexity of the acoustic finger-picking lays a magic carpet that is the underbelly of this country-folk song. My old Bb harmonica only had 4 or 5 working notes left and I used them all, sucking in some rust in the process. I'll put that on the Christmas wish list... The sweet, gentle harmonies are Lea, of course, layering them up like a ghostly children's choir.
We are happy to say "hello" to our new listeners in Oslo, Norway, Woodland Hills, California and San Juan Del Rio, Mexico. Now we get to poke more pins into our world map... Thanks for supporting organic, homegrown music and local artists. The friendships keep growing and I shall never stop spewing out songs to delight you! Try to believe these words I sing and open your hearts to the love that surrounds you. xoxo Mark Sheldan

Love is a Jewel
Love is a jewel we’re given
In this life so precious and true
Love has a season for living
And spending forever with you
Try to believe these words I sing
Open your heart and see
Without you darling, it wouldn’t mean a thing
It wouldn’t mean a thing to me
Love spins around in circles
With layers of laughter and tears
As a stone in a lake causes ripples
Minutes turn days into years
Try to believe these words I sing
Open your heart and see
Without you darling, it wouldn’t mean a thing
It wouldn’t mean a thing to me
Love is deep like the ocean
Vast as the moonlit skies
Love is always in motion
Like dreams that dance in our eyes
Try to believe these words I sing
Open your heart and see
Without you darling, it wouldn’t mean a thing
It wouldn’t mean a thing to me
