Dark and mesmerizing piece of jazzy atmospherics. Really love your vocal performance as always and the evocative feel of the music throughout. Masterful!

Really love this. And it seems to me much to the point, although this humble comment is probably just another hollow social media trick.

Oh, the existential dread in this is wonderful. Something about to happen.

What a voice.  Sometimes it's hard to get back to everyone we have followed but I'm glad I looked you back up.

Just love coming across your tracks, the originality gets me every time. I always get the impression that Leon Redbone is alive and well. Love it.

This is a first for Daniels & Durgy. An indulgent bit of fun we had in composing and performing this melodramatic Halloween themed extravaganza. To make it even better we have two of our best friends, Todd & Mike, joining in for the instrumental bridge near the end, something you won’t want to miss! We recommend a string of garlic and a silver stake in hand as you dare to venture into the mist............................   Video on YouTube for some added fun: https://youtu.be/_XPgAU8Mqms

Lyrics:

Silence, awakened by moonlight
Eyelids, open wide with the sound of the rain
Shadows, they creep from each gravestone
I rise up among them, as she calls out my name
Calling, her song high and haunting 
Wanting, the lips that I fear
Ohhh, marching, like a corpse hit by lightning
Frightening, but compelled yet to see her

She’s my beautiful nightmare,
My blood inside her, love is in vein
Cold, is the need as I’m bowing 
Howling, In the thunder and rain..
Mercy, I'm begging for freedom
From the life that she feeds on
With the bite of her kiss

Oh, I know you have what I need
But the moon has compelled me to feed
But there’s something inside your eyes that confounds me.. 
A rush that dispels me…
And some how I can feel your heart beat inside me
It’s lifting the curse that’s been there so long
Can you finally save me?… You’re the one I’ve been waiting for….

Darkness, I'm chained to this darkness
Like a slave in a harness, for one moment of bliss
I'm a slave in the mist
With the bite of her...terrible kiss

Slave In The Mist

Just the thing for a hobgoblin hoedown ...

All Hallow's Eve

Taken from my album Tales of generation x
People may ask themselves over time of why carry a burden and stay alone? and to not find love
I carry a lot of love and desire ,we are on this planet for a very short time and people need to find the right person and the right kind of love and friendship otherwise we might waste our energy and freedoms in the wrong direction if you find a spark try and keep it lit

PARENTAL ADVISORY (with Modes About Me & The Mysterious Decibel)

This is an unusual one for us as we were asked by a friend to do a cover of Alan Jackson’s country song, “Small Town Southern Man” using slightly modified lyrics to personalize it for a family member. Without access to the kind of instruments we would need to replicate Jackson’s recording we opted for something we’ve never done before, a modified karaoke track! With the instrumental track easily secured Nat and I simply added our vocals using the provided modified lyrics. 
Nat added Piano on the track to personalise it.   
The photo cover here shows a glimpse of downtown Shepherd, Michigan and we hope the person for whom it is intended gets a kick out of it. We had some fun doing it. With that said, this track goes out to our friend Larry, with Super Bowl/Valentine’s week best wishes to all our friends out there in music land! 🍻🏈💝

Small Town Shepherd Man

Within

This is a song that we co-wrote, a simple love ballad that includes a brief piano/electric guitar duet between verses. The subject is self-explanatory. A belated Happy Valentines wish before February melts into the Saint Patrick’s season!

Lyrics:

Of all the things I ever held
Of all that's wrong and right
Nothing makes me smile like you
Or hold onto so tight
Of all the time that filled my eyes
The days I’ve sifted through
What could make me more alive
Than time I spent with you
And nothing hurts as much as missing you

If heaven was a place to find
It’s always been in you
Like a secret key you turned
I opened up to you 
And like an angel bathed me in your light, you made me whole..
Of all the places I have been 
I’ve never felt more home 
I miss your laughter and your hand in mine, 
And I will love you far beyond our time

Nothing Like You

A ditty I wrote during holidays by the bay.  Enjoy 

Summer Song

N.B. 11/07/2023: at last I think I managed to delete the more disturbing noises!! And keep quite the best of the recording ! Hope you better enjoy the song now 🎈 … and the new cover art 🤩 closer to the chorus ❤️‍🔥

it's been a dilemna to choose wether or not I would publish that track:
1. After hours and hours of work on mastering to remove the huge amount of noises on that old tape recording , it was only half a success...
2. I love this song!... despite its not perfect sound

Hope you’ll validate the option 2 :)

Bruno (future Loony) wrote the song, programmed drums, played the bass and the guitars, and sung.
Composed in July 16th 1989
Recorded in January 1992 on Yamaha 4 tracks

The song has been played live with the Catsbleed between 92 and 94, meeting a bit of success 🎈

Thumbing the nose at bad moods/anxiety. Who wins? The jury is not yet out. Just happy to have achieved a post, it has been a while.

What's that?
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
Yep, it's hollow inside
We've been tricked by social media
Hollow inside?
Keep it down or he might here you!
Yep, it's hollow inside
Hmm...

I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
I just want to go back home
(I don't like it here)

What's that?
It's hollow inside
I just want to go back home
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home 
It's hollow inside
(I don't like it here)

I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside
Can't believe there's nothing in there!
I just want to go back home
It's hollow inside

It's Hollow Inside

Midnight Talking (For two guitars)

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

Trippy track - the title referring more to the recording and mixing process rather than to the lyric content. The saga continues...


LYRICS: 

Talk to me, look at me, tell me what the feeling means.
Dead end streets, weary beats - hypnotic eyes stare into my mind.
Where are you? And what am I?
Bridges crossed, bones to grind,
Meaningful or senseless life. Forever lie awake at night!
Cannot cease to twist and turn. Cannot quench the inner burn!
Wounds don't heal, it's hell on earth. Expanding thoughts while the road is turning...

The Revenant

Smoke and Mirrors

Piano player, singer,  righteous upright bass & concatenator of disparate factors.

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.
