Here is my collaboration with Christopher Matthew Smith on 50/90.
Christopher created his lyrics in response to the "Movie Title Challenge" (The movie was "Big"). I was very inspired by his lyrics as I found in spite of the person being okay with dancing alone continuing hoping that he wouldn't be alone and will be dancing with someone he loves. I offered to create music and Christopher accepted. So I composed a piano track and sent my vocal guide and Christopher recorded his beautiful and poignant vocals with his beautiful vocal melody and added MIDI strings. Thank you Christopher for your beautiful collaboration.

Lyrics
Verse

If you would look at the world with eyes open
And pretend for a second that you were coping
The pass where the sun sets would call to you
No longer out of your reach, an impossible view

But the years cast a haze on your vision
And a shroud on the plans that were once your mission
The things you’d accomplish when you were older
A future that you yearned to see unfolding

Chorus

I’ll dance alone on these keys
If you won’t dance with me
But just maybe you could start
To see life’s better when you're a part of it…

Verse

If you would let yourself go for a minute
You’d see the room light up cause you’re in it
Feel the warmth of the light on your tear-stained cheeks
And relief at the finding without having to seek

Whatever happened to that lion cub
Whose heart grew full in the name of love?
It’s in there somewhere, in camouflage
On an oasis you thought was just a mirage

Chorus

I’ll dance alone on these keys
If you won’t dance with me
But just maybe you could start
To see life’s better when you're a part of it…
I’ll sail alone on these strings
If you won’t set yourself free
But just maybe you could try
To catch this wind in your sails and fly with me
