great riff! super catchy song and great song topic! sounds rocking!!!

Surprised me..an unexpected rocker!  Great classic sounding head-bobbin' riff.  And Uncle Sam?....guess you see it all on High St....

This had my speakers bouncing along with this one, great post.

grew up with this awesome rock and roll beat....great vocals here as well...sometimes songs write themselves when you get that beat in your head

Great rocking blues track, sounds like something from Rolling Stones!

Great tune Krissi.  Great groove and vox, has that smokey bar feel.

ON PARLE DE NOUS

ON PARLE DE NOUS (Chanson Française)

I had this tune in my head for quite a while, and now I finally recorded it. It's always fun to take new approaches to the recording process. It's certainly not as clean and polished as it could be, but there is another version in the works with the Laybow-legacy studio project. 

lyrics:

look, it's the sun that's coming back to shine
even the rain has never felt this fine

and the trees turn back to green
all the colours that you haven't seen for a long time
this past time, fading
to make place for a new day
a new scent is calling
and I will be falling in love again

look, there's a new bird in the sky
circling upward like it never got that high before

and the flowers in the street
so many faces new to meet
all our paths that intertwine
like the bees back to the hive
build another piece of life
like the bird that got so high
it's the only way to fly

always in springtime
a new scent is calling
I will surely be falling
in love again

A Song For Springtime

After a gorgeous Easter long weekend here, my thoughts have turned to summer. Not quite there yet, but enough warmth to think of gardens, colour and...the arrival of ominous smog and haze of urban centers. I relocated from the urban sprawl of what we called "The Big Smoke" of the Toronto area.  I think, the threat of air pollution, especially in the sweltering heat of summer, always makes me mindful of the thin line and tipping point (1.5 degrees C) of global warming. The summer of 2023 left much of North America reeling from the haze of smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada's north.Wearing masks to protect, not from Covid, from PM (particulate Matter of 2.5 in Ontario! Toronto was the worst for particulate matter in the world in June 2023)

Haze
    I love the haze of summer … ah
    1) Short path to the shore
    Secret place, we’ve been before
    A little piece of heaven no one knows
    Quiet time for you and me
    On the beach near to the sea
    A little piece of heaven no one knows
    Ooh – ah…This where the buck stops (x4)
    EVERYBODY’S DREAMING…OF MORE SUNNY DAYS
    BUT CAN’T YOU SEE WE’RE STEAMING …IN THE HAZE?
    2) How long can it last
    Relegated to the past
    Something once forgotten never found
    Just take a little care
    I want to feel it’s always there
    Something once forgotten never found
    Ooh – ah    (x12) 
    (INST)  
    (CHORUS)
    3) Warm days, running dry
    Changing times, a leaden sky
    Is there a piece of heaven no one knows?
    Radiation, in the sand       
    A lasting legend, to our land     
    Is there a piece of heaven no one knows?
    Ha…ya…ya…ze!  (x3)
    (CHORUS)
    I loved the haze of summer …

Nothing Special

Summer Haze

Behaviours are so important going forward. Going to have to be some selfless work from everyone - be exemplary. 

Exemplary

We look out the window and we see it’s our turn
We want to, we need to
The river is rising and grass is burnt
It’s a headache, it’s a heart ache
So we’re walking through the streets so purposefully
We’re marching, some are running
We’re shoveling sand, we’re hosing the land
We’re a commune, to the rescue

Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary
Ba da ba da - We’re exemplary

Children are leaving their classes in droves
They’re frightened and enlightened
They’ve worked it all out, they actually know
They can see it, they’re not stupid
It’s everywhere they look, vapid posturing
It’s so obvious, it’s so odious
It’s all about ownership and total control
They detest it, they reject it

Ba da ba da - They’re exemplary

Mother and daughter father and son
By the 60s we could be gypsies
Everyone a nomad everywhere a land grab
Fight it – be united
Ba da ba da - Be exemplary

EXEMPLARY

Leo is the penultimate piece of the Concept and it is the one that gives the most charge and energy to the whole work♌

Wrote this song while living in London and working at a high street vape store. Days were long, sometimes it was quiet and i was looking out of the window, at the passers by. Noticed some people that seemed to keep on walking past many times, every day, looking stressed out and sometimes a bit out of it. There was this guy wearing a plastic Uncle Sam hat and shorts, carrying a boom box on his shoulder. There was another one pointing at people with a remote control  as if controlling the world around him with it. There was a homeless lady carrying all her belongings back and forth.
First i had this riff in my head. Then a melody started building. The story told itself. This one's for all of you people of High Street in Kilburn NW6.

Krissi- High Street

This is a song for Mary. 🎵 It's a song about living in the beauty of the present moment and conquering the inner demons that haunt our minds. 🔥 Letting go of old beliefs and embracing magical adventures. 🌟✨

~~~~~~~

I start to feel
The spirit rhyme
You come to heal
Always sublime

I learned to hear
The flowers grow
To disappear
Along the road
You don't compare
You calm my soul
You take me there
Down the rabbit hole

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons are imaginary
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons were imaginary

And our world
Condemned by their rules
With their madness
No one is a fool
Only with sadness.
And opening eyes
Like sand in their clocks.
We still improvise

The NOW WON in the Mary land of wonder
No future, no past, no drama, melodrama,
Enjoying the real view of going under
In the Mary, Mary land of wonder.

A warrior plays along
With peace, inside the soul
And there's nothing wrong:
With no flags and no time
No needs, no borders
No space and no rhyme
No system disorders
No stars under the sun

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons are imaginary
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons were imaginary

Instrumental

The NOW WON in the Mary land of wonder
No future, no past, no drama, melodrama,
Enjoying the real view of going under
In the Mary, Mary land of wonder.

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons were imaginary

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
All the demons are imaginary

And the demons, they ain't living in the mirror

Mary

Adrift

This original song finds a woman that is soul searching and feeling deeply in need of something to reignite her inner self. Anywhere would be a step up from the mundane path she has settled for. She contemplates the changes that only she can make happen, the places and actions that must carry her upward and ahead to fulfillment.

Road To Anywhere by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy
“Hey don’t you know I was thinking of you”,  she keeps sayin’
But somehow the time just never seemed right either way
She talks to herself, as she plays with the keys in her pocket
The cobblestones glow in reflection of streetlights and rain

The more we change the more we seem to stay the same
It’s time to grow, It’s time to go, and fly away
She ain't sure where she’s going….her heart knows there’s somehow a plan

There’s a hole in her soul 
Thats’ been troubled so long
And a call to somewhere left unknown
And putting it off due to family ties, plans grew old
Hit the road to anywhere, however long, she doesn’t care
To escape was the plan all along
When she finds him, her heart will just drop, and finally be home

She walks through the doors of a tavern called “Admiral’s Daughter”
And sits in her corner seat looking at folks come and go
She keeps the seat next to her open and watches the doorway
And waits for the ghost of a sailor she knew long ago

But change will never come if she remains the same..
Hit the road to anywhere, however long, she doesn’t care
To escape was the plan all along
And when she finds him, her heart will just drop, and finally be home

Road To Anywhere

Tańczący nenufar/Dancing water lily

Oh well, the sign on the door
Says she opens up at 6AM everyday
But then she saunters in at 8:15
And everybody seems okay
You could some order eggs over easy
(extra greasy)
The hash brown scramble
She's not a good cook
But her beauty is hard to handle
I'm falling in love
At Rosies's Cafe
Falling in love every single day

I stumbled in there late one night
After a , uh, let's just call it a little fender "bender"
If you will
She brought me a cup of instant coffee
Mixed with Pepsi
And a slice piece of pie
I looked into her chestnut eyes
I fell into a dream...

Flap jacks
That look like mud flaps
Home fries with gravy
That would sink the navy
Her hash brown scramble
Her good looks are hard to handle
I'm falling in love
At Rosie's Cafe
Every single day
