Steve asked me if I would like to make some additions to his song and this is the result! It's got a nice laid back groove, and the extract from St Pauls letter to the Corinthians is a philosophy that we should all live by : )

I Was Young When I Left Home (Bob Dylan Cover)

Wrote this for my daughter to be played at her wedding this year. Self-explanatory. Many thanks to my friend and music partner Nat Daniels for adding her talents on piano, bass and the drum track.

Written and performed by Craig Durgy (Guitar and vocals)

Lyrics: see below

I Came Running by Craig Durgy                         

Doctors and nurses and Mom and me
We all were waiting to see, the little girl that would be
You came into view, and I came running to you

So many nights that were sleepless then
And I’d come running when, you cried and I came in, and through 
Every tear as you grew, came running to you

Such a scary world, for such a little girl
And Daddy needs to come through
There to save the day, love makes a daddy brave
And there’s no greater than you
No greater than you, no, no

But little girls don’t stay little long
You’d chase me room to room, those bedtime stories soon
Drifted off like a dream, still there, but not to be seen

We always knew that there’d come a day
Spring flowers never stay, and I’ll give you away
To dream with somebody new, 
Someone who’s wonderful too

Such a scary world, for such a little girl
And Daddy needs to come through
There to save the day, love makes a daddy brave
And there’s no greater than you
No greater than you, no, no

So, on this day, let me see you smile
You’ve made it here so well, no one might ever tell
You fell now and then, black and blue, 
When I came running to you 
I’ll always come running to you / Bye-Bye, Miss American pie
We sang dirges in the dark…..ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhh

I Came Running

Microchip

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

At a booth in the back of the room.  With a smile across your face.  Observing, absorbing dim light.  As a shadow fills the space.   Hang on, it’s just a memory.  Hang on this too will pass.  Hang on, my frozen memory.  I’ll never lose track.  Searching for your secret.  Searching in the dark.  Your presence makes me feel alive.  Hang on, it’s just a memory.  Hang on this too will pass.  Hang on, my frozen memory.  I’ll never lose track. I don’t want to miss you, I don’t us to lose track, I could never forget you, I’ll keep on looking back.  Let’s never get lost again.  Let’s get right back on track.  Don’t waste time on the past, we will catch up eventually.  Insert a computer chip just beneath your skin. Turn on your location, I won’t lose you again.  Hang on, it’s just a memory.  Hang on this too will pass.  Hang on, my frozen memory.  I’ll never lose track.

Dreaming Outloud

Microchip

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

I’ve been driving all night, but I don’t know why.  Been trying to figure out what’s important in my life.  Dreaming of a place in the rain.  Dreaming of a place that’s next to you.  But I’m just lost, lost.  I’m just lost.  I’m just lost, lost.  Hoping to be found.  Dreaming of a place in the rain.  Dreaming of a place that’s next to you.  There’s teardrops in my eyes, I’ve gone blind.  I can see the road ahead, you’re not mine.  Now I’m a disgrace, in your eyes.  There’s nothing left of me that’s made of you.  So, I’m just lost, lost.  I’m just lost.  I’m just lost, lost.  I, I won’t be found.  I’m dreaming of a place in the rain.  I’m dreaming of a place right next to you.

Lost

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

Why am I living this way?  Putting myself through the same shit every day?  Tormenting my happiness until there’s nothing left.  You tell me that you love me, you tell me that you care.  Show me your passion that’s honestly there.  As I remain alone, in this empty apartment wishing you’d come home.  Your memory is everywhere, but only you’re not here.  Wishing I could hold you at least once a day.  Hearing your lies that ring so true.  I’m so pathetic and you’re so fucking cruel.  But I’m no different than you, you fool.

Lies So True

'Strong' is a song I wrote after a policeman instructed me to leave a city’s shopping street while I was working as a street artist. I was so… can I say ‘pissed’? So I had to write a song about it. This was 1992. I played the streets a couple of years when I was a student.

The lyrics of the song (below) point to a broader and still current subject. Staying strong in dynamic times is important for every one of us I think. Today more than ever probably. Follow your personal believes in peace all :)

Guitar is a Crafter or a EKO steel string acoustic, I'm not sure
Recording: live, analogue (Tascam 4-track)

This is a recording of a song 'just written'. In this respect I should have uploaded it on my other page https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/tracks but I didn't :)

Mix: In Cubase I edited a small guitar part around 1:03 minutes because I played one chord a little too long which interrupted the meter of the song.
Master: The stereo WAV track I used had been mastered before so it was not clean when I mastered it again. 
Equipment: Steinberg UR824, Ozone 7 adv. (EQ, Imager and Vintage tape) plus Lexicon LXP Native Hall Reverb VST

Lyrics:

Hey what’s your name
I’m not a game to play
Hey we’re the same
You should feel ashamed to say
I don’t belong to this day

[chorus:]
If you think you’re strong
I’ve got something for you
Cause I feel strong
I think my way
Nothing’s gonna change that
I think my way
It makes me what I am
I feel strong
I feel strong

Day by day
Strongen my way   [note: I know this is not proper English 😉]
Leaded by the inner words I pray
Hey I’m not afraid
To feel the shade
Because I know who I am

[chorus]

Lyrics
The Dream plays On (You are my Sunshine Variation)

The Other night Love, when I lay Sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke I was mistaken
And in the Darkness, softly cried..

I’ll always love you, and make you Happy,
if you would only say the same,
But if you leave me, and love another
Your heart will ache for me someday..

Chorus:
For one sweet moment, You really loved me
and vowed no one could come between
but now you’ve left me, to love another
and in that moment broke all our dreams

And every dream since, repeats you leaving..
And when I wake the dream plays on…
And though I’m broken, just you can mend me..
if you’d only come back home.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey,
You’ll never know how much I love you..
so please don’t take my sunshine away… no please don’t
take my sunshine away…

I’ll always love you…
