I stumbled on this duet today between Melinda Schneider and Paul Kelly. It was
released in 2009 so I don't know why I hadn't heard it before. Apologies if
everyone is aware of it but there may some who haven't heard it. I can't recall
anyone mentioning it on OPH. I love the song. It is so beautifully sung.
Melinda Schneider has such a lovely understated voice.

Melinda Schneider<http://www.myspace.com/melindaschneidermusic> has a new fan
in Aussie singer songwriter Paul Kelly<http://www.paulkelly.com.au/>. Paul was
so impressed with a demo version of one of Melinda's new songs, he agreed to
sing it on her latest album.
The unlikely duo met by chance in Coogee.
“I was snorkelling at Coogee Beach and got up and out of the water, and there
was Paul Kelly sitting on a rock,” Melinda told The Sunday Telegraph.
The pair got to chatting, so Melinda decided to send Paul a copy of her song
“Still Here.” He loved it so much, they decided to record it together at his
Melbourne home.
“I love his vocals on it,” she gushed. “The intimacy of it is really beautiful
on that track.”
