It’s closing in the beauty and the panic
Growing nearer I pray circles around it
And Behind the purple branches
Moving shadows linger can’t see past them

But there her face is shining 
So much warmth surrounding here it’s frightening 
Hurts to love you
Always adore you
The One who gave and formed you I’ll let lead

Wisteria woods
Creation in the chaos
Beautiful one I am yours you are mine

It’s opening the mystery the madness
Perfect shapes are forming in the sadness
And behind your eyes my dear 
Reflections of pure love cast out fear

And there His purpose showing
Even here in darkness light is glowing
Hurts to love you
No one above you
The One who made life for you I’ll let lead

Wisteria woods
Creation in the chaos
Beautiful one I am yours you are mine
Wisteria woods
I’m so grateful I am so lost
Thank you for this spark to guide me through the dark

Through the dark
Swaying purple branches
Perfect love cast out fear
Wisteria woods

Wisteria Woods

Here is a little ditty for ya!

Song by Eric Feltham

Lyrics:
Set out in the forest for a morning walk met a man on a stump and we had a talk
He said Ive been here since there were no trees now go away son and leave me be

He said

I can’t understand a word you say don’t go drifting out of your lane
Come back when you’ve found your way you can't keep cutting against the grain

I then met a man by the waterfall the plaque on the wall said he knew it all
He said ive talked to many people in my life listen to me son and take my advice

He said

I can’t understand a word you say don’t go drifting out of your lane
Come back when you’ve found your way you can't keep cutting against the grain

Against The Grain

When I wrote this song, I had a female voice mind. I sent it to Nat Daniels and asked her if she was interested in singing it.  Long story short, both Nat and Craig got their creative juices flowing and came up with this beautiful rendition of the song. Ive always admired their work and it was a privilege to be able to do this with them. I hope you all like it!

Lyrics, Music, Vocals, Guitars, Production - Riff Beach
Pour a cup and wash me up
Take me to that place
Cleanse my soul and make me whole
Lord, Bathe me in your Grace
Dry your eyes and don’t despise
All the pain you hold inside
Life’s too short to break a Heart
Can’t believe it’s real
Say a prayer 
Let me know you care
And show me how you feel
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
Oooh, It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
No time to feel alone
We’re all where we belong 
So let’s be strong and carry on
Soon we’ll be headed home
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
It’s just my Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory 
Floating in the Wind

Blistering End Of A Shovel (Lyrics by Tony & Phillip - vocal/music by Phillip Clarkson)

This original pop ballad relates two people who have been separated and unable to be together for too long. When they are finally reunited it seems too good to be true. There is a tension, trepidation in how to reengage and to open up the deep affection they have for one another. The ukulele drives this one from the start as it brings some old school crooning with the two voices that celebrate this uplifting love song.

Lyrics:
Please, tell me what to do
I just cannot believe 
I’m standing here with you
You're really here with me

And oh, we held off for so long
So fine, the line between right and wrong
And now you fill the air I breathe
Your eyes seem too much to conceive
And I’m just standing here in awe
Tell me should I close the door

And hold you in my arms
Just Like I used to dream
Tear those bridges down
So you might never leave

Now, the face I know so well
The cloud is lifted I can tell
Your smile can finally be revealed
Now we know our love is real
As I close the door behind
Your lips come close to mine

Oh just kiss me till I go
With love I need to know
This time is ours alone
Tomorrow is long gone

Please, tell me what to do
As I’m standing here with you
I just cannot believe 
You're really here with me

Tell me what to do
Please, tell me what to do
I’m so in love with you
Please, tell me what to do

Tell Me What To Do

Full Moon Night (V0) - Piano Works

Tea plantations on the planet Athoek, the location of some intrigue in Ann Leckie's book, Ancillary Sword.
I took inspiration from the early work of Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou (Vangelis)RIP. I loved how he combined traditional Greek instruments with electronics on "Earth".  "Heaven and Hell"  remains a personal favourite.

Plantation On Athoek

The Other Side   -   Noobly & Bel

Here is a little ditty I wrote. Hope you all dig it!

The Old Oak Tree

Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background.
"Like A Rock"
Bog Seger 
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow-straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock
Standin' arrow-straight
Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock
Carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock
Hard against the wind
Like a rock
I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock!

The flower that she was way back when
Grew into the woman she is today
I loved her from afar, Lord
Then, she offered me…….
a warm place to stay
We never looked back 
Our Love, it’s found a way
Time has been most kind
And, it’s brought us here today
I wish the days could be longer
And…..the feeling’s growing stronger
As we move along our way
For the Flower that she was
Is the woman
She is today
The time left in our Lives, Lord
Falling more and more in love 
Each and every day
Falling more and more in love
Each and Every Day

Lyrics:
This Holy Christmas Eve.. 

I guess it’s time to set the table
The fairy lights they flicker like fireflies
The smell of wood and coal from the fire
The Laughter of family and peace is found in all

There so much I feel so grateful for
The years have been so sweet
And through the blessings 
And the bitter 
Life is so complete

The TV plays a Christmas Carol,
There’s far too much to do..
Don’t want the time to run a mile,
And yet it slows down lost in the thoughts of you…

Yes the You that is the World today, 
The way we all can be
I’ll give my love with warmth and pleasure 
A hand , a hug,  
We stand together 

But All I am is all I can give
My love is yours.. yes yours
And may the world find peace this evening
As the snow falls on the this Holy Christmas Eve

This Holy Christmas Eve

The season is upon us...Merry Christmas Folks! The Constant reliability through the Ages, has always been our ability to Love, to Hope, and to Dream.  May this song remind you all, that no matter how small an Idea or action may seem, you can never know the ripples it will initiate through time.  May you ALL Be Blessed, Fed, Healthy, and Loved this Christmas..    With All our Love, Nat & Durge.  

With Special thanks to Little Miss Maïa for singing along on this song! She's only 9 years old, but she showed a lot of courage to sing a long with her Mama, and her awesome Uncle Durge.

Lyrics: Down Through The Midnight by Nat Daniels

Rolling downward, through the midnight
Bursts a glorious heavenly song
And It’s a chorus of Light and Angels
That pierced the night so long ago

Oh Glory in the highest
On this glorious Christmas Eve
And it’s so crazy oh…to imagine
What a night it must have been
The earth stood still and witnessed Holy peace ..
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

Choir:
Glory in the highest.. 

The gentle cry of a child that saved us
Will echo on ‘till all is gone,
But times have made life so confusing
And yet His love lives on in all

Oh Glory in the highest
Christmas Eve so long ago
And It’s so crazy oh.. to imagine
How a child could change the world
The earth stood still in silent reverie
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

So do you hear it, through the midnight?
Can you hear the Angels’ song?
Oh it’s only heard in your kindness ..
And you will hear their song of old

Down Through The Midnight

Satin Sheets was a popular country hit song written by John Volinkaty and first recorded by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard on their March 1972 duet album, Bill & Jan or (Jan & Bill). It was then famously covered by American country music artist Jeanne Pruett in February 1973 as the first single and title track from her album of the same name. The song was Pruett's only Number One country hit, as well as her only chart entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
Nat & I were asked by Jerry Madden if we would collaborate on this classic cover and we were all too happy to do so. Jerry shows his tasty guitar playing throughout and we thank him for giving us the opportunity to join him here.

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
MUSIC WAS A SWEET MEMORY
WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY
NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO PARTY

STUDIED HARD IN HIGH SCHOOL
NEVER ANYBODY'S FOOL
MADE GOOD GRADES IN COLLEGE
FILLED HIS HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE

GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE
TOOK A JOB IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
CLIMBIN' THE CORPORATE LADDER
TO HIM..IT WASEN'T THE ANSWER

HE WAS PROUD OF HIS EDUCATION
THE CORPORATE LIFE TAKES DEDICATION
DIDN'T WANT A LIFE FILLED WITH STRIFE
DECIDED TO ABORT THAT KIND OF LIFE

(CHORUS)
PULLED HIS GUITAR OUT OF IT'S CASE
PLAYED SWEET HOME ALABAMA
FOLLOWED BY AMAZING GRACE
THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
DECIDED TO LEAVE THE RAT RACE
CAUSE, THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'

(GUITAR SOLO)

HE PUT A COUNTRY BAND TOGETHER
NASHVILLE WAS THE PERFECT THEATER
SINGER SONGWRITERS WERE EVERYWHERE
MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT HE DIDN'T CARE

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY FAST
STARTED PLAYIN' IN THE SOUTH FIRST
WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS COUNTRY ROOTS
AND WEARING HIS WESTERN BOOTS

SOON THEY WERE PLAYIN' THE RIGHT SONGS
AND THE RIGHT CHORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
HAD A BAND THAT HE COULD TRUST
AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BUS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)

SHE GREW UP IN A VERY SMALL HOUSE	
IN A LITTLE TOWN CALLED PEPPER TOWN	
HER MAMA WORKED AT THE LOCAL COFFEE HOUSE	
HER DADDY'S FACTORY WAS SHUTTING DOWN	
	
YES, TIMES WERE HARD IN PEPPER TOWN	
JOBS WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN	
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN	
HIS FAITH WAS ON THINGS UNSEEN	
	
CHORUS	
PEPPER TOWN SEEMS SO FAR AWAY NOW	
SHE'S GOING BACK SOME DAY SOME HOW	
THE MEMORIES STILL LIVE ON	
PEPPER TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE HOME	
YEA, PEPPER TOWN WILL ALWAYS BE HOME	
	
THEY ALWAYS HAD PLENTY TO EAT	
AND A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD	
ALWAYS A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP	
JUST COULDN’T GET AHEAD	
	
SAID I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE SOMEDAY	
NOTHING FOR ME IN THIS SMALL TOWN	
SHE PACKED HER BAGS HEADED TO LA	
SHE WAS CALIFORNIA BOUND	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
THE STARS DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN	
NOT EVERY STAR IS LIT	
THE SUN DOESN'T ALWAYS SHINE	
NOT EVERYONE MAKES IT	
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA	
IS FULL OF DRAMA	
ONLY WAY TO FIND GOLD	
IS TO SELL YOUR SOUL

=== Lyrics ===

California

Surfers in their beat-up cars
Setting off the girl alarms
Smell of salt and sand stuck to your toes

Sun is glowing, sinking low
Sky is wearing pink and gold
She’s living on the California coast

California
Did you stop to wonder where I’d been?
California
You gotta end to let the sea begin

Diving underneath a wave
Feel it crash and you’re too late
Churning foam and water up your nose

Shake your head and feel it spin
Spit and dive back down again
Cause nothing could be better for your soul

California
Did you stop to wonder where I’d been?
California
You gotta end to let the sea begin

What’s it feel like
Waves pressed all night
On your trembling
Mountain skin

Does if feel like
Tectonic bites
Or does it 
Feel like love is pushing in?
Does it feel like love is pushing in ?

What’s it feel like
Waves pressed all night
On your trembling
Mountain skin?

Does if feel like
Tectonic bites
Or does it Feel like love just floating in ?
Does it feel like love is floating in ?

Wander sunday afternoon
Taco stands and cactus blooms
Yesterday was better for the shells

Wake up burned and touch your skin
Look around and see your friends
Seems like home is here beneath the swells

California
Did you stop to wonder where I’d been?
California
California
You gotta end to let the sea begin

Tom Adams created this sparkly Country-Blues inspired Gem as an Open Collab offering. Crafted some lyrics, sang along, and then added a little Harp. Always amazed by Tom's Guitar Mastery, and he's created yet another superb tune here. Honored to contribute, and hopefully, lend something to it in some way? Big Thanks to Tom and also Tony Harris - Two of my Longtime 'Cloud Heroes' and Friends. Chuck Aaron and Steve (Spanish Lillies) also created their own Fab takes on this Open Collab Project. Please check their versions out, and you can always also enjoy Tom's Blissful Blues Guitar at Tom Adams (SC site), as well. Thanks, again, Tom.

Just Hold on….
Oh, Yeah.......Hold On Tight

Fly On High!
Down that road, 
We’re feeling so Alone
Burned all our bridges
....in the Rear View
Heading to..... 
Our Soon-to-be-New-Home
But, I’ll be smiling…..
How ‘bout you?

Ever wish you were somewhere else.  I know I'am not the only one who, at times,has to sit and listen while be chewed on.  Let your mind take you away.  John Prine- Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame.  He won his first Grammy in 1991 and at age 70 he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association.  His songs have been recorded by the likes of Johnny Cash, Bettte Midler, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait and many others.  His new album , The Tree of Forgiveness is receiving so much acclaim.  Love this man

The Other Side Of Town( Cover-- John Prine)

I grew up listening to country music along with early Rock & Roll. Chuck
Berry was nicknamed "Father of Rock & Roll.  With such songs as
Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, Rock & Roll Music and Johnny B. Goode he topped the charts in the 1950's.  Every guitar player of my
generation played or tried to play Johnny B Goode.  He died March 18, 2017. No one does it like Chuck Berry, so I decided to do my version of Nadine as a tribute to the man.  Thanks

Oh and I am so thirsty
This seed still needs to grow
There is never enough in the well

All my leaves
They refuse to turn green
And down to the ground they go
There is so much more that I need

Plant me next to your river
Need to be filled by your living waters
Springing infinitely abundantly 
Waters flow trees grow

Bones are dry
Oh and I am so thirsty
My roots won’t seem to grow
There is never enough in the ground

All the trees
There is no fruit in the spring
And down to the ground they go
There is so much more that I thirst for 

Plant me next to your river
Need to be filled by your living water
Springing infinitely abundantly 
Waters flow trees grow

I’m so thirsty

So Thirsty

Lyrics:

Blue on blue
As the falling leaves flew 
What a terrible thing to leave you.   
What a terrible truth to need you. 

Oh...  What I could I do? 
Should’ve kissed you by that window in your bedroom

As the pink light faded into the midnight blue
Guess it all came crashing down..  I needed you
Should’ve told you that I loved you
that I didn’t care who knew.. 
Blue on Blue..

It’s like we’re on two trains in the opposite way
Both looking in the same direction 
Holding onto this crazy connection 

Oh..    All I know
This feeling’s getting stronger
And I want you more 

Baby hold on to this feeling, I feel it too
Don’t care how long it takes, I’ll wait for you
Should have held onto you longer
When you held me in your arms
Blue on Blue

Blue on Blue

Blue On Blue

Wolves

Wolves (feat. Danny Bourgeois & Chris Church)

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!
