Description: Here is a new song I wrote and recorded. Its sort of the second part for my song "The road to Nowhere" Hope you enjoy!

Great production. Reminds me a bit of the good old 90s movies.

Love the vocals! Very lovely sound all around.

Fine country rock; lots of power, clean production, and some very nice guitar work. Raw and emotional vocals too. Well done.

This guitar solo reminds me a bit of Dire Straits.

Lovely song! Lovely vocals and music play! Great guitar solo!

It's simple but impressive country style rock!

Outstanding and passionate vocal performance Eric.

i just really liked singing 'so many stars' all of a sudden😂

first morning waking up in a spaceship far from home....
fear gives way to wonder


'so this is the first morning
and what was 'here'
is now afar

this is the golden dawn
black icebox...
white furnace......
and......
... ..  . so....................          ............ ............... . . . . 
......... . . . .man......y....................s.....t.....ar......s........ . .    .. . . . .. .........'

so many stars [WIP]

Nat came up with this lovely piano track and we let it sit for a while before I finally gave it a try with some words and my take on a melody to start it off. Nat then wrote her half of the lyrics and we harvested this somewhat ultimate ode to love between two soul mates. It accents the journey through failures and disappointment to finally connect with the lasting fulfillment. The happy comfort of finally reaching home.
Lyrics
You Are My Home by Craig Durgy & Nat Daniels 

I….. was lost till I found you
With the light all around you, that made us connect

 I……..was drawn ever nearer
Like a child to a mirror to truly reflect

You….conquered the blue and the dark
I….let you through to my heart

Now, I will be yours always
I will be yours always, to the end of days…..

Eyes that calm, my heart within your palm
Sweet, hold me complete, you are my home
I’ve found my home
Dar-ling you, passion so deep and true
All that I hold on to, you are my home

All my Life, I felt so unaligned, 
Outta step …outta time, ‘till you came along
 
Now each breath, is light from the day we met,
The comfort of you has left, me a prisoner of Love

There, is no one but you for me.
Nights I searched, would always lead you to me.. And I..  to you.

Darling you.. complete me in every room
That’s found in my solitude … a heart not alone
For you are my home… Oh you ARE my home.

You Are My Home

Going Home...

„Der Atem des Nebels“ Atmender Nebel  (16.11.2022 ) 


In früher Morgendämmerung atmet die Erde auf. Die ersten Sonnenstrahlen durchdringen die Wolken. 
Nebelschwaden bedecken wie ein feines samtiges Tuch die Felder, Wälder und Täler.
Die Erde erwacht. Sie ruft den Wind auf das der Nebel langsam davon schwebt und die Landschaften freigibt.

Zart, flüsternd schwebt der letzte Hauch des Nebels dahin und ein neuer Tag entfaltet sich in ganzer Pracht.

Ein musikalisches Landschaftspoem.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

" Breathing Fog” “The Breath of the Mist"  (2022-11-16)


The earth breathes a sigh of relief in the early dawn. The first rays of sunshine penetrate the clouds.
Wafts of fog cover the fields, forests and valleys like a fine velvety cloth.
The earth awakens. She calls on the wind that the fog slowly floats away and reveals the landscapes.

Soft, whispering, the last breath of the mist floats away and a new day unfolds in all its glory 

A musical landscape poem.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Can't You See - JaMix

Can't You See - JaMiX Version

This is a story song. I called the two characters Max and Lilly for ease of reference when I was writing it. Best with headphones! 
V1- The smutty comment by Max is an old phrase some retired soldiers used to use in a depot I worked at in the late 1980’s. It made me laugh as a young man so thought I’d use it now. 
V2- my grandparents lived in a village near Stonehenge and I was also born there. Always wanted to include it in a song. 
Lilly’s dream is a recurrent day dream I used to have as a kid in the back of the car on family trips to the West Country. I always imagined the spirits of Ancient Britons watching the cars and the modern world and warning us about change…as you do!! Their world was rocked by the Roman invasion so they would know a lot about change!
V3 - I’m that age where we are losing friends and family. The hospital scene is something I’ve seen a lot of recently and so put Lilly into that setting. 
Hope you enjoy the song. 
James

Lyrics- It was like that then

Her shin had started bleeding, it wasn’t deep but really hurt
She’d tripped on his old cricket bat, his socks and dirty shirt
He was laughing from the bedclothes saying “don’t drip blood on my bed”
He was drinking in her nakedness and said ‘the hungry must be fed!’
She hopped across the bedroom, laughing as she fell
Into his arms and gently kissed him, and soon she could tell
Than another Sunday morning would be spent there in their bed
Loving without end, it was like that then

Jackdaws chatted in sunshine as they walked towards the stones
They saw some tourists in the distance, but in the field they were alone
They laid a blanket by a hedgerow, and lay there holding hands
Listening to the insects, they drank some wine and made their plans
And Air Force jets flew overhead, as she gently held him tight
And they stayed there undetected as the day turned into night
And a barn owl left its hiding place and swooped down on its prey
Loving without end, it was like that then

And she sensed the magic seep
From sarsen stones as sleep wrapped itself around her in the night
And she dreamt she saw a chariot, with warriors, swords and shields
Saying
“Live life to the full, grasp it hard, yes hold it tight
Savour and devour it, because nothing ever lasts
Don’t take things for granted, change comes hard and fast
Remember how it was, remember how it was”

She lay still in the bed, and looked out of the window,
It was too warm in the ward, she watched the falling sleet and snow
The kids had sent a card and it was on the bed beside her
She looked down at herself, at the gown, the tubes and cannula
She thought about the hard years, the arguments and debts
The everyday monotony, the things they said and should forget
And he woke up in the chair, and knew that he was losing her
Now and then, loving without end

“Don’t take things for granted, change comes hard and fast
Remember how it was, remember how it was”

(Loving) Loving without end, it was like that then
(Loving) loving without end, it was like that then
(Build a foundation), loving without end, it was like that then
(Build a foundation) loving without end, it was like that then

Jesus Is Coming Back Again # 15, Gene Jumper, ( Original )

jesus is coming back again

I created this song a long time ago. My son Filipe made a mix that was placed in Spotify. Here goes my mix.

Já não há mais caravelas,
porque os heróis do passado
voltaram do fim do mundo,
enterraram o horizonte.
Já não há mais caravelas,
mas o sonho é que não para.
Vai vencendo as tempestades
na distância imaginária.
Sentados à secretária
para aqui vamos navegando,
cá nos vamos afogando,
mas a sede não nos larga.

Será que ainda há fim do mundo?
Será que ainda há horizonte?
Já não há mais caravelas,
mas a vida é que não para.
Vai vencendo as tempestades
da espiral inflacionária.
Nesta confusão diária
para aqui vamos navegando,
cá nos vamos afogando,
mas a sede não nos larga.

Nossos pais naufragaram
para verem o mundo até à última gota de mar.
E eu também quero ir...

Google translate gets a little lost, so here it goes:

There are no more caravels,
because the heroes of the past
returned from the end of the world,
buried the horizon.
There are no more caravels,
but our dreaming never stops.
It overcomes the storms
in the imaginary distance.
Sitting at the desk
here we keep sailing,
here we keep drowning,
but the thirst won't leave us.

Is there still an end to the known world?
Is there still an horizon?
There are no more caravels,
but life keeps going on.
It  keeps overcoming the storms
of the inflationary spiral.
In this daily mess
here we keep sailing,
here we keep drowning,
but this thirst won't leave us.

Our fathers shipwrecked
to see the world down to the last drop of sea.
And I also want to go...

Ja Nao Há  Mais Caravelas (Mix JFC)

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
