ON A PICNIC

I heard this incredible instrumental track and fell in love..  it had this Flamenco quality to it which is hard to master.. but I heard the musical genius in the track and for a year the song called to me.   I asked Stefan if we could add words to his amazing Guitar track, and Durge helped me bring this lovely love story to life..    Thank you Stefan for allowing us to create with you.

Lyrics:
If I only could, I’d stay awake 
And dream with you
Grace the dead of night
‘Till I saw you smile in the sunlight ....

You touched me in a way I’ve never known
Silent rain burns on the undertow..

I concealed my gaze, 
But your smile taunted me as the flamenco played
Gripped around my waist ... 
Felt your hand lift my knee onto your thigh in close embrace ..

I dreamed of you... as my hair tumbled down onto my spine
I fell for you... And I won't be the same 'till I know your heart is mine..

Burning, yearning, Set the world on fire!
Time has lost all meaning in your eyes...

No deambule mas mi amor
(Wander no more my love)
Mis brazos estaban destinados a sostener solo a ti
(My arms were meant to hold only you)
Baila conmigo para siempre
(Dance with me forever)

It was like a dream came to life when I saw you!
And I’ll never let go as long as I draw breath!
‘Cause I dreamed of You…..

I Dreamed Of You

I Dreamed Of You - w Rock Flexible

This was supposed to accompany some vocals, but I realized it worked better as an instrumental piece. A different version with the vocals will follow at some point.

Lancelot's Eyes-Instrumental Version

Night Falls

Once I had a dream of us and all that it could be
now underneath the memory of the trees

My eyes woke to the barren branches holding their few leaves
longing for days of Springtime company

When the night falls and the moon cast her lonely spell on me
I will dream
When the night falls and the river is crying to the sea
I will sing

The birds were singing joyfully, the flowers to the bees
why must they come to only have to leave

And underneath the fallen snow our grounds of fertile dreams
now lies within the hope of tender seeds

When the night falls and the moon cast her lonely spell on me
I will dream
When the night falls and the river is crying to the sea
I will sing

When all that's left the trees confess, the falling leaves taking their last breath
The hills like arms, a gentle crest, now casting lonely shadows of our loneliness

When the night falls and the moon cast her lonely spell on me
I will dream
When the night falls and the river is crying to the sea
I will sing

Durge sent me this beautiful Acoustic version and we decided to leave this live version intact as an Alternative to the Studio version...  It has Durge singing the lead and myself as the harmony,  just to switch it up, and it was a lot of fun to make it ..  We hope you enjoy this version as much as our recent studio version of this song..     (https://soundcloud.com/danielsdurgy/i-could-fall-9a-eq)   
Love, Nat & Durge. 

Lyrics:
Like a shadow that creeps up on you
Or a bend in the road surprising you
As you walked towards me 
Your smile met mine
and I knew that I could fall

I could I hear my heart beat loud and clear
as the souls in the room all disappeared
and the veil was torn from my childhood eyes
Like a hole I’d fallen through.. 
at the end was you

Oh I.. I could fall… God I think I’m already there
Is it real? Or is it me? 
a fool that never learnt not to care..
but I know what I know
and I feel it in my soul
in a world of constant cynics..
Be the least of all my critics..

Can you stop the waves from crashing down?
Change the flow of the winds, or break the storms?
It’s the same when you find the one you’re meant to love
You leap… you fall… You fall…

Oh I.. I could fall.. 
God I know I'm already there..
‘Cause I’ve given in… 
without a fight to a velvet stare
Oh darling I am yours!
Won’t you tell me you're mine..?
'Cause I.. I could fall
Oh I, I could fall
Oh I could fall for you.

I could fall for you.. You Know…
I could fall.

Hard To Get

This one is called Hard To Get. A young guy has his eye on a lovely young lady. He can't help but notice her every time she walks by. Especially when there's no one else around.  But she never really says anything to him. He thinks she is playing hard to get by not saying anything to him.  Never figuring out that she's been trying to get his attention for the whole time.

Lyrics;
It was hot and muggy
On a hot summer day
I was sitting on the steps
When I saw her walking by my way
She had a sundress on
And sandals on her feet
And I just watched her walk
All the way on down the street
But I knew that she was playing hard to get
One day she'd be all mine
One day but not just yet
The leaves were falling
There was a chill in the air
The breeze was blowing
I was the only one out there
Then she was walking by
In that blue and black sweater
Never even looked my way
But no one could look better
Still I knew she was playing hard to get
But one day she'd be all mine
One day but not just yet
It was a cold and cloudy day
And ice formed on the trees
I was shoveling the drive
With snow over my knees
And there she was
In a ski coat and sock hat
Building up a snowman
And I thought get a load of that
She's making a man with a heart as cold as ice
she should think about me
I'm warm and oh so nice
The seasons pass
But one day she was standing right there
Looked me right in the eyes
And said ah you men, I  swear
And I was thunderstruck
And I began to sweat
She laughed and said
Why do you play so hard to get?

Reflection

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. We struggle against things that are ultimately good for us. I think when we let our guards down and become more open, we discover wonderful things in our lives.
