Pensées

I wrote this song as a tribute to love that endures beyond this world as we know it. My best friend lost his battle with cancer several years ago, but as I often think of him I have envisioned his parting moments with his dear wife by his side. This is just my thoughts on it, I won’t pretend to represent the actual intimacies that would possibly have transpired, but I do have a good idea of how much they cared for each other, and still do.

Lyrics:   Summer Rain by Craig Durgy

Time slowed down to greet me, to carry out my light
You caressed me sweetly, always there right by my side

And as my eyes conceded, that leaving you I must
Despite your tears that pleaded, I just rose out into dust

I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Yes, I became an angel, the moment that we kissed
Through all the years of loving you
That brought me here like this

Now the dust has settled, life and love go on
Raindrops on a petal, and you know that I’m not gone

In this life we’re flowers, but it’s only life’s cocoon
As fresh as summer showers, forever love can bloom

And, I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Summer Rain

This is a remaster of a song I wrote and recorded about 10 years ago.
I had a discussion(argument) with my teenage daughter and, when I reflected on it, I realised that the things we said replicated similar discussions with my parents when I was a teenager. The song is from my daughter's (and my younger self's) perspective. She loved Green Day so I wrote it in that style and even borrowed her Mike Dirnt bass to play it.
She said " Yeah, that's alright dad"

I Might Change My Mind

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

I know what I want
And I know that you just don't
So leave me alone to live my own life

Don't waste my time
I don't want your nursery rhymes
You can't help me so why not leave it

Don't give me your shit
I don't need it, not one bit
You think you know things that I don't

Its useless to me now
Because you're stupid anyhow
I'll make my own mistakes in my life

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

I Might Change My Mind - Remaster 11.01.22

If you're reading this thanks for listening to my song (you rock!), here is what it's about :)
The first verse references the counting of Abraham as the founding Patriarch of the three major monotheist religions.
The chorus is a comment on religious persecution and intolerance.
The second verse references Hinduism, bliss and paradise.
A short reflection on the inevitable 
Solo and musical bridge interlude
Third verse references the similarities of religions. 
And the last verse list different names for heaven and faith based greetings 

Lyrics
From the olden days of Abraham
To the stars of the silver screen
The faithful come to share their tale
Of the way to Eternity

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 		

Older still, a another land  
A different way is found
To reach the bliss of paradise
where deities abound
 
And oh
I long
To see
What 
Will be

The way to heaven
Which way to heaven

Solo
Instrumental bridge

Rituals and temples
Worship and prayer
The commonality laid bare 
For anyone that cares 

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 

And oh
I long
To see
What
Will be

Kingdom come
Araboth
Swarga
Jannah 
Shalom
Assalamu alaikum
namaste
peace 
be 
with you

LYRICS
-------------

Adrift In a world that you can't comprehend
As you shuffle down sidewalks you used to defend
And pick through the garbage from parties you no longer attend

You know you're a stranger in still stranger lands
Where the crumbling monuments once used to stand
And they look at you funny when you ask them where to find an honest man

When you're gone, long, long gone

When they try to dismiss you, you piss on their shoes
As they fondle their falsehoods and call them the truth
If only the hunger in our bellies were so easily soothed

But you are not like them and you don't even try
No matter how rotten, you can't make them cry
You're as real as their shadows but they'll never understand why

Until you're gone, long, long gone

So you eat in the market and sleep in a hole
You drink from your hands now instead of a bowl
Stand naked before them to show how the years take their toll

And when the wild dogs come to nip at your legs
And the passing onlookers who expect you to beg
But your life was a promise and it's far too late now to renege

And then you're gone, long, long gone

This is a song about missing someone and how utterly useless it is to have a phone conversation with that someone, when what you want more than anything is to be next to them.
