wow, great voc performance and mix of instruments

Original vibe, and a captivating performance, and instrumentation. Captures that emotional uplift, and conveys it.

Thanks Suzanne, it’s getting harder to reach those notes these days!

im jealous of your beautiful upper registr

Nice speaker separation in the mix.  I like the flow of the song. Very uplifting and pleasant.

What a bright uplifting song, Chris! Great vouce too...

This is an original song that Durge started by creating a story about a musician going to an open mic night in the city to play some of his music. Nat took over the second part of the song by adding the girl musician and the chance convergence of the two musical souls. We co-crafted the final lines of the song to celebrate the lasting value of such chance meetings and events.

Lyrics:  Shooting Star by Daniels & Durgy 

The sun was just as bright as hell, and the air
Hung upon my shoulders
The city is a wishing well, and it’s where
Everything unfolded

The sidewalk was a frying pan, but it led
Further from the fire
With my guitar case in hand, and a head
Full of lost desire

Just a coffee house open mic, and you said
Your song just really hit me hard
Then we played and it felt just like, 
It was meant to be, just like a shootin’ star

A summer breeze that broke the spell of the heat
Sent newspapers flying
My heels tapped to the silent beat of a clock 
That fate began unwinding 

Tempting chance I kissed a coin, and felt, the aim .. into lover’s fountain
My pearls kept pace as I made haste to the gig, where it all unfolded ..

Dropped my guitar and stood there still as you sang, 
And felt your words like they were mine
Then we played and it felt so right
Like the gods themselves made our souls collide...

Ta da da da da da da...

Every day is a brighter day because you 
Gave your love and hope to me
Having you was a gift so wild
And you stay, in my perfect memory
Time can’t take us ‘cause you will be
Someone who remembers me

Shooting Star

Nice To Meet You

My sincere apologies if you commented on this track before.  I had to delete the entire post because it was not showing up.  For some mysterious reason a few people could see it but in general it was invisible.  Who can understand these mysteries?  So I have given up and am reposting.  

Thank you David Dunham for your unfailing help in mastering my tracks.

Open Gates

How can one person make you feel like this?!  Written in 1992 when my voice was younger and could hit those high notes.  At the time I was in a band and we played this as a rock track which I rather liked but this demo is closer to what I originally had in mind I think.


This Is All


This is all
This is all it’s meant to be,
All my life I’ve been waiting it seems.
When before
Was a haze of clouded dreams,
Now is clear as day to me.

I know better now,
Better not to waste away,
Better not to live life at a crawl,
And it’s for you,
You and only you,
That I’m made to move at all.

Once was a small boy
Who hid behind his hands,
Afraid to catch a glimpse
Of what he might not understand,
But now,
Now I know what’s to be done,
You’ve given me the confidence
To laugh aloud and run

Down the road,
Watch me go, oh see me run,
What on Earth has come over me?
This is you,
Can’t you see what you have done?
This is all it’s meant to be.

Once was a small boy
Who hid behind his hands,
Afraid to catch a glimpse
Of what he might not understand,
But now,
Now I know what’s to be done,
There’s a whole life there in front of me,
I can catch it if I run…

This Is All

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
