My Dad played this song (recorded by Hank Williams Sr. in 1949) on his harp when I was growing up. Good memories.

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Cover by Tony)

Ethiopia  
Words & music: Pravinand Maharaj (Johnny Minstrel)

Your fear has overcome you
And faith is just a matter of doing what you really doubt
Your strength has slowly left you
And everything you lost are the only things you cared about

Your dreams in shattered jars of clay now
Scattered all across the world and everybody knows
You scream through another day now
But all you hear are echoes of yourself the valley throws

Chorus
So far you couldn’t remember Eden
So down the road you don’t know who you are
So close to the post of the one left scourged and bleeding
On the desert road back to Ethiopia

The light is slowly fading
Edges of the darkness are creeping on your soul
Your queen back home is waiting
Waiting for the gift that can’t be bought or sold

Chorus
A sound and your heart it freezes
Till a voice tells you be not afraid
Just be strong
There’s a man and he’s sent by Jesus
As your fears disappear
You ask him what took so long

Chorus

Une île est une chanson française écrite par Serge Lama
Musique: Yves Gilbert
(C) 1969 by Sidonie et Éditions Serge Lama 

Refrain / chorus
 Une île entre le ciel et l'eau
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte, un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage,
Une île, une île
Entre le ciel et l'eau.
1 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, sans espoir d'espérance,
Tout seul face à ma destinée,
Plus seul qu'au coeur d'une forêt,
Ce serait là dans ma propre défaite
Tout seul sans espoir de conquête
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île comme une cible d'or
Tranquille comme un enfant qui dort,
Fidèle à en mourir pour elle,
Cruelle à force d'être belle;
Une île, une île
Comme un enfant qui dort.
2 Ce serait là, face à la mer immense
Là, pour venger mes vengeances,
Tout seul avec mes souvenirs,
Plus seul qu'au moment de mourir.
Ce serait là, au coeur de Sainte-Hélène,
Sans joie, sans amour et sans haine
Que je saurais enfin pourquoi
Je t'ai quittée, moi qui n'aime que toi.
R Une île entre le ciel et l'eau.
Une île sans hommes ni bateaux,
Inculte un peu comme une insulte,
Sauvage, sans espoir de voyage.
Une île, cette île, mon île
C'est toi.

Une île (Serge Lama) par Dominique Briand

Such a great artist and singer/songwriter.  Real and down to earth
songs that are so relatable.  One of country's greatest.  I love Merle
Haggard and I love this tune.  My thanks to my friend, Lefty Mike,
for his vocals,harp,bass and helping with the recording.  Mike is a 
talented singer/songwriter with great songs on SC.  It would be
a treat to visit his SC page.

Song, vocals: me

I LOVE THE WAY YOU SMELL 

It’s not the way I walk 
- You’ve got a funny way of walking
It’s not the way I talk 
- I never listen when you’re talking

-But the other boys can go to hell 
‘Cause you know I like the way you smell

It’s not the clothes I wear 
- I don’t notice what you’re wearing
It’s not my movie star hair 
- Your looks are kind of overbearing

-But the other boys can go to heck 
‘Cause I just want to sniff your neck

Someone can be as pretty as you please 
Smart as a whip or crazy for me 
But I can’t see the forest for your trees
Cause when it comes to love I’m olfactory

When you’re around me you just stutter and stammer 
- ‘Cause the air around you has got some kind of glamour

-The other boys just aren’t as glamorous
The scent of you makes me amorous

What is it about me that’s so alluring? 
- If I told you it wouldn’t be reassuring

-For other boys I just don’t care
Come over here and let me smell your hair

-Yeah you don’t have to win me over 
Cause I really love the way that you smell

The Way You Smell  - With Burn.It.Smith

Wherein we find our hero Captain Bravo and his men inside a Trojan Horse on Planet Khazarghonia. 

Admiral Krank and his Mo Sheen. 

Captain Bravo's Trojan Horse Gambit On Planet Khazarghonia

This song is based on two incidents that happened to me.  One I was on a boat with Scotsman and a German (I'm from the USA).  I was having difficulty understanding the other native English speaker (The Scotsman),  So the German helped me out by translating the Scots English to American English for me.  The other is me understanding my 3 year old Grandson.  Frequently his mother (my daughter) had to translate the 3 years old English for me.

This is a collaboration between myself and Dave Cooper (warfydave).  I wrote the lyrics.  Then Dave Cooper built the guitar chords and provided the melody and vocals.  I then completed it by adding the other instruments and mixing and mastering the song. 


Lyrics:  Can you help me out


Can you help me out
Can you translate for me, I don’t understand?  
I hear the words but I don’t know what they mean  
They sound so familiar but the meaning eludes me  
 
Chorus 
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?  
Can you help me make meaning of these words?  
    
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?
I don’t understand x 3 - what I’ve heard
 
I don’t understand what is being said  
I try to make sense of these words  
Try as I may I do not understand them
 
Well thanks for the help
The world’s better place
We talk and it makes sense
Translation, oh it’s so helpful

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN

LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

Making Words Rhyme - Original Collab by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band"

With Halloween soon upon us and all the creepy fun that it entails, we wanted to do something a little different from the usual ghouls, goblins and ghosts for this year’s fun. Nat had this idea to have a play with the great pop song David Bowie wrote and made famous in 1969. A song that speaks perhaps to drug addiction as much as anything to do with the vast and gloriously scary expanse of outer space, we tried to put our own Daniels & Durgy spin on it. Though generally in line with Bowie’s fantastic composition, we made some subtle changes to introduce a little love interest to the picture...does his wife actually work as one of the Ground Controllers?! Enjoy the journey and Happy Halloween everyone!

Space Oddity (Bowie cover)

I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.

I ran across this old Merle Haggard tune that was written in the 70's
Boy did it hit home and sure fits with things today.  This is another song
that Mike (Lefty Mike) did a little magic and added bass, harp and his
vocals.  He really made the song.  Thanks again Mike and thanks SC
members for the listen.

Jesus Take A Hold ( cover- Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

Nat and I are both long-time fans of the great crooner, Roy Orbison. Like us, it seems he was a hopeless romantic, so we have contemplated this cover for some time. But it was a challenge to change it up from the classic original that Roy recorded back in 1961. Here we’ve given it a bit of a spin in several ways. Most notably you’ll hear us divide the song into two parts, the man who cries and the woman who goodbyes. Hopefully Roy would approve, but most importantly we hope you’ll enjoy this take on “Crying”. (Written by Roy Orbison & Joe Melson)

Crying

Crying (Roy Orbison cover)

May 19th marks the day of my childhood best friends passing. Losing him at such a young age was a tragedy. We shared so many wild adventures and new experiences, he was like a brother. After I moved to LA, flying home for Christmas was the only time I got to see him. You never know when it’s the last time your going to see someone so enjoy every moment with those you love. Rest well my friend you are still by my side! This track features the amazing violin work of the incredibly talented Joylin and my JCB brother Dean playing bass and making everything sound like magic in a speaker. Can’t thank them enough!

Comme si de rien n'était

Tes fleurs aux murs sont délavées
J'ai pris ton jean pour la soirée
Et quelques bagues pour compléter
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était Rapidement j'ai embrassé
Les joues humides de tes amis
Tout est meilleur le jour d'après Mais moi je déteste celui-ci J'aimerais tes bras pour m'rassurer C'est toi qui sais chasser le pire Comment j'vais faire pour t'écouter Si tu n'es plus qu'un souvenir J'n'ai pas ta force de tout cacher
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était
Ils ont tous parlé de ta vie
Je me demande où ils étaient
Quand toi tu étais proche du vide
Ça n'sert à rien, oui je le sais
Mais je n'arrive pas à me dire
Que tes coussins resteront rangés
Quand j'm'approcherai de ta penderie
J'voudrais tellement les voir voler
Remplir le silence de nos rires
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était
Tes fleurs aux murs sont délavées
J'ai pris ton jean pour la soirée
Et quelques bagues pour compléter
Comme si de rien n'était
Comme si de rien n'était

Comme Si De Rien N'était  avec Teel

Leaders need to be special. Telling someone what they want to hear so you can be popular is not leading..it's pandering. 
If popularity,politacl donations, raw power are the goals of a person who pretends to be a leader ,then the result will be disastrous for everyone.
It is the role of all others to hold "leaders " accountable to facts and basic social norms:tolerance, empathy,equality.

lyrics:

when leaders don't lead and followers don't think
everything that's decent is pushed to the brink

when facts are ignored and replaced by beliefs and religion distorts God's holy words
then books will burn
innocents accused  and then rounded up to be killed and abused
without a blush on one single cheek
without a tear in one single eye

and when it's all over, you'll stand in the rubble
rubbing your eyes from the smoke
wringing your hands from the guilt

how could this happen?
what did we do?
your sorry is too little too late

you carried the torch or worse stood aside
and watched it all happen in front of your eyes
you thought that inside your house you were safe
you never imagined it could be your turn
you didn't speak up when there was something to say
so my questions to you are
will you learn from today and what will you do tomorrow????

when leaders don't lead

LES IMPREVUS MALENCONTREUX

Les imprévus malencontreux
Qui sèment le mal tout autour d’eux
Viennent bouleverser par leurs venus
Certains des jours et même plus
Sortent de l’ombre et des buissons
Nous jouent des tours à leurs façons
A faire des maux, pétrir nos cœurs
Partant de rires, on passe aux pleurs.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous font souffrir, font de leur mieux
Voudraient nous voir sur une image
Noyant nos yeux dans un naufrage
Passent à l’acte sans prévenir
Nous faisant mal, malin plaisir
Sans faire passer comme indolore
Ces coups de l’âme contre nos sorts 

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c’est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Faisant du mal tout autour d'eux
Viennent nous voir de temps en temps
Nous faire savoir tout simplement
Qu’ils peuvent d'une manière
Nous faire du mal, nous mettre en l’air
Et que seul’ment s’ils le souhaitent
Nous laisseront des jours en fêtes.

Les imprévus malencontreux
Nous rongent,
Et à cause d’eux
On songe,
A ce pire, l’angoissant,
De se dire à nouveau c'est quand….

Les imprévus malencontreux
Que cherchent-ils contre tous ceux
Qui veulent vivre tout simplement
De grands bonheurs qui durent au temps
Pensant à chaque fois que tout bien
Vivant nos jours et leurs lendemains
Jetant les doutes à tous les vents
Pour que l'amour reste bien grand.

THE UNFORTUNATE EXPECTATIONS

Unforeseen events
Who sow evil all around them
Come to upset by their arrivals
Some days and even more
Come out of the shadows and the bushes
Playing tricks on us in their own ways
To cause pain, to knead our hearts
Starting with laughter, we move on to tears.

Unforeseen events
Make us suffer, do their best
Would like to see us in a picture
Drowning our eyes in a shipwreck
Take action without warning
Making us hurt, evil pleasure
Without passing it off as painless
These blows of the soul against our spells

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say to yourself again when….

Unforeseen events
Doing harm all around them
Come see us from time to time
Just let us know
That they can in a way
Hurt us, put us in the air
And only if they wish
Will leave us days of celebration.

Unforeseen events
are gnawing at us,
And because of them
We think,
At this worst, the distressing,
To say again when is it….

Unforeseen events
What do they seek against all those
Who want to live simply
Great happiness that lasts over time
Thinking every time that everything is good
Living our days and their tomorrows
Throwing doubts to all the winds
So that love remains great.

Soften My Heart - Beth Williams Gospel Songs

Once I wrote a longer description here: a love song in 7/4 ¿or 14/8?

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti) /  Silvia II (What I feel for you)

Es de difícil clasificación  /  It is difficult to be classified
dentro de las variedades del amor  /  among all varieties of love
lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  what I feel for you, what I feel …

Sólo sé que no puedo vivir sin ti,  /  I only know I can’t live without you,
no puedo ver sentido a mi vida si no estás aquí.  /  I can’t find sense to my life if you are not here.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando todo va bien  /  When everything goes fine
lo que me une a ti es tu forma de ser,  /  what joins me to you is your way of being,
es muy fácil ver  /  it is very easy to see
todos tus encantos de mujer.  /  all your woman's charms.

Una idea que no puedo soportar  /  An idea that I cannot bear
es verte en brazos de otro, en otro lugar.  /  is seeing you in other one’s arms, in another place.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

No puedo imaginar  /  I cannot imagine
tu voz susurrando a otro compás.  /  your voice whispering to another compass.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
puedo contemplar tus defectos con claridad.  /  I can behold  your faults with clarity.
Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
sólo quiero escapar a otro lugar.  /  only I want to escape to another place.

Grab it !!

Je te promets (French cover song)

Wonderful 70's Tune originally written and performed by the most talented Singer-Songwriter, John David 'JD' Souther https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Souther
Souther's partnership with Linda Ronstadt led to her beautiful version of this Original song being featured as the third track on her Grammy Award Winning Classic album, 'Heart Like A Wheel' - released in 1974. The song has been covered by others, but the Ronstadt version is the Gold Standard and more than survives 'The Test of Time', even today!

This version is my own 'AcoustaTronic' sketch. Hope it's enjoyed in its own way? As always, Thanks for Listening. Most genuinely appreciated, along with comments, likes and/or reposts. Many Thanks! 

Continued Best Wishes on your own musical journeys, whether you're an enthusiast, performer and/or producer. Music is the Beat of Life! :D)))

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

Music/Vocal/Mix by Riff Beach
The cover art is the Painting hanging in the Shop 

Walking into an Antique Store
On a cold Winter's day
I noticed a painting…...
That I hadn't seen before
With a Guitar in the Center
Well, my mind, it went back in time
To when Elvis lived here
Such a fine picture
Strollin' through the shop
Well, he was on my mind
Yeah, Tupelo….
That's where he learned to play
On an old flat top
(Chorus)
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
Let your mind relax….and float away
Down in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
And you know, all his Daddy could afford
Was a two-room house
But, it kept him from being bored….
Playing music over in East Tupelo
This 'Ol Southern town
Why, it just has music in it's soul
You can feel it in the air - everywhere
As you drive around
In Tupelo…..
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Just Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day

I first heard this tune from the great Tony Rice (bluegrass flat picker). I immediately wanted to pick it and I immediately realized that I was no
Tony and just could not keep up with him.  I still love this tune and had to slow it way down and adapt.   Just picking and singing.

Skin  RAE MORRIS ft. The Gatsbys

Written by two Frenchmen, Pierre Delanoe (lyrics) and Gilbert Becaud (music) this now famous Everly Brothers recording from 1960 was originally recorded in French as “Je t’appartiens” by Gilbert Becaud. Nat and Craig feed on classic vocal harmonies and naturally greatly admire what the Everlys did with this beautiful love song. We cover this in a way that fairly closely follows the Everly approach.

Lyrics
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this Heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me

Let It Be Me

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.
