We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around
(Repeat Verses)

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta
(Repetir versos)

#16 (Number 16)

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

Ruby & John - Beth Williams

This song tells the story of love hidden beneath the surface that aches to be realized and brought to life. Nat penned this beautiful ballad that marks the first new recording for Daniels & Durgy in 2023, five years of D&D music together!

Lyrics:

Drop-off Departures, 
We say our goodbyes…
Your smile says you’re happy .. 
But your eyes shows the lie…
Love’s like the wind, I can’t see it
But with you I've always felt it..

So when will we go, and leave the charade of our existence? 
And run like the wind, and be who we are, to hell with the consequences!
And shatter the glass of your endless suspension…. 
And live in the Realm of our Inspiration.

It’s you that completes me, like no other can..
I promise to love you with all that I am..
We can go on just dreaming,
Or do more than just believing..

So when will we go, and leave the charade of of our existence? 
And run like the wind, and be who we are, to hell with the consequences!
And shatter the glass of our endless suspension…. 
And live in the Realm of our Inspiration.

Instrumental Solo 

But when will we go, and leave the charade of of our existence? 
And run like the wind, and be who we are, to hell with the consequences!
And shatter the glass of our endless suspension…. 
And live in the Realm of our Inspiration

Realm of Inspiration

Realm Of Inspiration

No title for this one yet,so all suggestions welcome.

Careless and immortal
Time goes drifting by
Turning full circle
No time to say goodbye

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

Behold the gift of hindsight
If only we had known
Contempt for our birthright
Trouble is homegrown

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

Project 27.05.23

We are pleased to present track 1 from our new album, 'Squaring The Circle,' the fourth solo album by Amanda, music by Verulium, full album now available on Bandcamp, we hope you’ll enjoy!

Squaring The Circle

The Last Refuge Of The Lonely

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocal
Hans-Michael Albers:  All instruments, arrangement & production

Whenever we send Hans the demo of a new song, one of the most enticing parts of the process is that we never know what is going to come winging it’s way back from Hamburg.  We never try and steer him in any particular direction because we have total faith that whatever he sends will  be much, much better than anything we’d had in mind.

Quite often, once a week or two has passed and he’s had the chance to expand on his thinking, he’ll send another version, totally different from the first but always something equally as brilliant, causing both Tel and myself to ponder which one to post.   A quandary of the very best kind.  

Chris O is a multi-faceted musician who seems at home within any genre but there’s no doubt she is best known for her mastery of The Blues, hence the demo leaning very firmly in that direction…or so we thought  However, on hearing it for the first time, Hans heard something very different.  His thoughts focused on a simple piano / voice ballad, something we were certainly not expecting but which totally blew us away.

By the end of that weekend though, along too came the blues version, a delicious groove to which I couldn’t wait to add some drums and as those who’ve already heard it will know, that’s the one we eventually posted.  Nevertheless, the indelible mark imprinted on my sensibilities by the unplugged mix simply refused to go away.  Even though it’s precisely the same vocal, the pared-back accompaniment pushes it’s heart and it’s power to the fore and I felt that it deserved to be heard.  So that’s the reason we’re posting ‘The Love of Mrs. O’, phase two…

In closing, despite our retirement from active involvement here on SC, Cripple Club wanted to send each and every one of you our sincere thanks for continuing to support our work.  Your generosity of spirit and kind words always mean so much to the three of us.  (Gary Reeves)

I met a brave woman by the name of Mrs O
Playing ‘The Blues’ flying high sometimes flying low
Guitars and Banjos pitching..always acoustic 
Singing and sharing a love affair with music

The Love Of Mrs O

No distance too far, mile by mile growing warm
Confidence of written word believing in art-form
Marriage strings and voice harmonising sounds
The love of freedom scales tightly in bounds

The Love Of Mrs O

Concerts of brave, pulse to a time
Ensemble in waves, helping the climb
Brothers of blues, traveller of love
Live music choose, to fit like a glove

The Love Of Mrs O

Mrs O keeps soaring magnum opus in her hands
Song of friendship for a man from many bands
Expanse of cumulus clouds, filming for all to see
Never hiding from the challenge in the Nebulosity

The Love Of Mrs O

Up and down across the world finding a closeness
No discrimination of any kind, love is always best
From ‘The Beatles’ land to a Sydney education 
Fondness for Mrs O, giving a continuous ovation

The Love Of Mrs O

THE LOVE OF MRS. O (UNPLUGGED) - CRIPPLE CLUB

A Good Man Down ( Fox and Brownie )

I watched it all on my Radio

Lyrics below by Tony Harris - US
Melody, Vocals, Music & Mix by Mike Fox - UK

WHEN HE LOOKED IN THE MIRROW
ALL HE COULD SEE WAS SORROW
THE YEARS HAD TAKEN A TOLL
ON THIS MANS LONELY SOUL

THE YEARS HAD PASSED HIM BY
NOW HE WAS WANDERING WHY
HE NEVER STOPPED TO SMELL THE ROSES
AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES

(CHORUS)
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
YOU MAY NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
DON'T LOOK IN THE LOOKING GLASS
HE MAY LOOK JUST LIKE YOU AND ME

HE NEVER SPENT TIME WITH FAMILY
ONLY VISITING THEM OCCASIONALLY
ALWAYS MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
WHEN NEEDED HE WAS NEVER AROUND

THE GRASS WAS ALWAYS GREENER
ALWAYS CONSIDERED A LONER
AND WHEN HE FOUND THE OTHERSIDE
HE NEVER SEEMED TO BE SATISFIED

(REPEAT CHORUS)

HIS BODY WAS LAID TO REST
UNDER THE BIG SKY OUT WEST
THE BURIAL PLACE IS UNKNOWN
SAD TO THINK THAT HE DIED ALL ALONE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

If Not For You
Written by Michael Duffy

If Not For You - lyrics

Every time you leave town
I feel so down
I'm in the danger zone
Anytime Im left alone

I don't trust myself
Cant you see
Your not the problem
I known thats its me

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Your my anchor
Keep my feet on the ground
My shoulder to lean on
When i'm feeling down

Through the highs and the lows
Together we stand
You by my side
I've got nothing to hide

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

In my shadows of doubt
When i'm feeling low
You be my shelter
The place where I go

Your the stars in my night
The moon in my sea
The purpose of
Who I'm meant to be

Nothing
Nothing
I say nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Rogers B train/Colab

RogerBTrain at work here. Amazing work .               I've jumped in with a song (henceforth my new blues persona is The Rev Hugo von Scrotum ) 

I remember you, you were naked in my bed
you were a mistress of invention, all my appetites were fed.
but now you're god's girl.......you've been saved.
etc etc etc.

It's on download so if you're busy take it for later with a shot of something hot.

God's Girl   \Roger B train\ Steve Killingbeck

In selecting songs for my cover album one of the challenges was to select one of the nearly 400 songs by The Rolling Stones. When I first heard this song in 1966 I never thought in my wildest dreams that 53 years later I would be recording my own version. Even though sometimes it’s “a drag getting old” I can console myself with the thought that I’m one year younger than Mick Jagger and still Rockin' and singing my heart away.

Video coming soon.

Rambler's Final Ride

Skin and Bones  Words and Music: Pravinand Maharaj

Skin and bones
Heat and snow
Dark and white
Rest and flow
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Leave and run
Be my guest
All the guns
Haven’t fired yet
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

There’s a hole on the mountain
There’s a tower in the fountain
There’s a bridge over Hades
By the Quarry-side
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Meet the damned
Damn the beast
Half the man
I’ll always be
It’s the wider truth
A big fat wider truth

Skin and Bones

I try not to write or record songs longer than 3 minutes because I feel its hard to keep the listeners attention after the first 15 seconds. This one became a production of 24 tracks and ended up well over the 4 minute mark. If you stick around until the end I thank you very much.
I call it Living Like our Yesterdays . A love story put on hold for all the obvious reasons from 2020/2021,

Living Like Our Yesterdays ( Original )
