Ecstatic Contemplation Of Unfolding Realities

A new song.........I have always wanted to write a tune about how calm and peaceful I feel when I am around water . The inspiration for this song came after viewing a beautiful photo of a a lake in the evening moonlight. So here you go.........😊🎸🎼🎶

Lyrics:

Peaceful waters calm and flowing
Soothing and refreshing
The calmness of the water
Relaxing my inner soul

Reflections and colors
Sparkling like the stars
They twinkle in the night sky
I feel one in the universe

The moonlight is glowing
Reflecting on the water
The gentle wind is blowing 
Through the trees and the leaves

The rippling waves creating circles
Pleasant thoughts within my mind
Breathing in and breathing out
The calmness I desire
The calmness I desire
The calmness I desire

Calmness

Q-Not Quite Meditation

 thinking about the people who feel soft when you need them and still cut you deepest.
Sitar crying over 808s like Michigan snow on hot skin, tabla snapping like bones you never set right, đàn bầu whispering the names I never say out loud.
Silk that kisses, scales that bite.
I left the venom in the mix so you’d feel it too.  codawolf | Michigan basement | 3 a.m.



Dragon Silk

The light is fading....

Lyrics

the hours I had waited for the chance

wait all alone the any hour

always get the chance

oh there is nothing left to me I cannot

see the light in me is flickering out

oh the light in me is flickering out

I decided to expand this a little. 

I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to leave a comment as your feedback is greatly appreciated and helpful.

Merry Christmas Folks!!  The Christmas season brings with it many different emotions and expressions. Pure joy and excitement, laughter and fun.. each moment has a role as people gather and celebrate. Nat got this particularly fun idea to create a "swing thing for us to sing" and we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did recording it. This is our third and final Christmas song for 2025. We send out our sincere wishes that all our SoundCloud friends will have a most blessed Christmas.  Nat & Durge

Lyrics: Sleighbell Swing
Oh, the snow is falling on the trees outside
On this frosty Christmas Eve
There's children playing in the snow
As we're walking down the street
Oh, the stars are bright in the sky tonight
As you're walking next to me
There's twinkle lights with colors bright
Just as far as we can see

Curled up cozy by a fire, bells will start to chime
We'll be dancing later to our favorite songs
At the sleighbell ball tonight

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring

All the children sleeping in their beds, are waiting patiently
To see if Santa will be there tonight
Leaving presents under the tree

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring

It's cold outside, the trees are bright
On this snowy Christmas Eve
There's chestnuts roasting on a fire
And we hear some caroling
Oh, this time of year can bring such cheer
Giving love to all we meet
We tap our fingers to a melody
Rocking to the sleighbell beat

With the lights down low, all the world's a-glow
As we ride in a one-horse sleigh
And we jingle and a jangle holding hands while we do the
Sleighbell sway..

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring…
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring…
