Paroliers : Hubert Giraud / Noel Roux

On peut vivre sans richesse
Presque sans le sou
Des seigneurs et des princesses
Y'en a plus beaucoup
Mais vivre sans tendresse
On ne le pourrait pas
Non, non, non, non
On ne le pourrait pas
On peut vivre sans la gloire
Qui ne prouve rien
Etre inconnu dans l'histoire
Et s'en trouver bien
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Il n'en est pas question
Non, non, non, non
Il n'en est pas question
Quelle douce faiblesse
Quel joli sentiment
Ce besoin de tendresse
Qui nous vient en naissant
Vraiment, vraiment, vraiment
Le travail est nécessaire
Mais s'il faut rester
Des semaines sans rien faire
Eh bien, on s'y fait
Mais vivre sans tendresse
Le temps vous paraît long
Long, long, long, long
Le temps vous parait long
Dans le feu de la jeunesse
Naissent les plaisirs
Et l'amour fait des prouesses
Pour nous éblouir
Oui mais sans la tendresse
L'amour ne serait rien
Non, non, non, non
L'amour ne serait rien
Quand la vie impitoyable
Vous tombe dessus
On n'est plus qu'un pauvre diable
Broyé et déçu
Alors sans la tendresse
D'un coeur qui nous soutient
Non, non, non, non
On n'irait pas plus loin
Un enfant nous embrasse
Parce qu'on le rend heureux
Tous nos chagrins s'effacent
On a les larmes aux yeux
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, mon Dieu
Dans votre immense sagesse
Immense ferveur
Faites donc pleuvoir sans cesse
Au fond de nos coeurs
Des torrents de tendresse
Pour que règne l'amour
Règne l'amour
Jusqu'à la fin des jours

La Tendresse (Bourvil) par Tulipe et Dominique

I hope to open my eyes tomorrow...I still have dreams and don't want to fade away.

Dreams Fade Away (Dark Demo)

A gentle love song that expresses the uncertainty of the unexpected seeds of intimacy and desire, and an overall message to not waste time, and to make each day count, whether it be in love, or in life.

Lyrics:    

Another Day

Another reed bending still, another tie of the will
Another stolen day we borrow
Another chance to lift the sorrow

Another day to begin, another share in the sin
Another moment to be hollow
You’ll never lead, I’ll never follow

Chorus:
I keep buying the illusion, when we say that it means more
But it causes such confusion, when we say nothing at all
Don't waste time.... Don't waste time!...

Do you reach for my touch? Has the night been too much?
Has polite masked the truth, past the welcome of my use?

Chorus:
You may not feel the same, I don’t hold you to blame
But there's an ache for you still, like that reed to the will

Will you ever fight for me…
Or leave me stranded in your sea?
A perfect love from perfect seed
Born from a place the angels keep...

Don’t waste time,
Another day passes by

Another Day

WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT (Lyrics) – Beth Williams Music ©2021
If you don’t wanna live your life riddled with regrets
You got to do the right thing, you got to do your best
With so much confusion and trouble in the air
Sometimes it’s hard to keep going, sometimes it’s hard to care

You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

My momma always told me , daddy told me too
Be honest and good, remember how we raised you
I didn’t listen and there for a while
I was a crazy, out of control. Lost and running wild

but now I know
You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

Aint nothing to be gained by putting yourself first
In the end we all die and are put down in the dirt
Can’t take it with you. All that remains
is the love you leave here and the things that you change
Be the change C’mon and
hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right
Bridge
On the other side of forever there’s a river of life
We’ll all be…. free from sorrow and the dark of night
Won’t need a candle, a lamp or the sun
God’s light will be shining on us everyone.
God’s light will be shining on us, everyone.
God’s light will be shining on us, everyone

You got to hold on – lean into the light
Hold on Do what you know is right
Hold on Let your love shine bright
Hold on Do what you know is right

Do what you know is right
Do what you know is right…

Una nuova vita

Una Nuova Vita

Keep on running from the claw

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

Use to listen to this album quite a a lot, and still do. I like learning how to play songs and arranging them acoustically sometimes. I believe the raw, bare bones is all a really good song needs. I love the passion in these lyrics and melodies.   

Lyrics
In Candy's room, there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
When I come knocking, she smiles pretty, she knows I wanna be Candy's boy
There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe
We kiss, my heart rushes through my brain
And the blood rushes in my veins
The fire rushes towards the sky
And we go driving, driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes
She says, "Baby if you wanna be wild
You got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt, let them fire, let them burn"
'Cause in the darkness, there'll be hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close, she makes those hidden worlds mine
She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who give her anything she wants
But they don't see
That what she wants is me
Oh, and I want her so
I'll never let her go, no-no-no
She knows that I'd give
All that I've got to give
All that I want, all that I live
To make Candy mine
Tonight

Candy's Room

The colorful symbols are my message to everyone... 🌍 ☮︎ 👍 🍀 2024 for a better world...!

Every Little Symbol

lyrics:
Oh, I never tell ya, when I’m suffering
when I open up to ya we just start arguing
Oh, I never thought I could feel this bad
Seems to get worse When I say I’m sad
Oh, I never meant to finally explode
Guess I needed release from this dark hold
Oh, I never tall ya, I miss how we used to be
when I speak truth You just take it personally

But what if I, just needed a hand
And what if I, didn’t know how to land
Sometimes fly high, others times I’m low
Sometimes goodbye, is the way to go
But I, won’t give in that easy
I just need you to hear me
cuz I, won’t give in that easy
Gotta make sure you hear me
I love you
And I struggle too
I love you
But I struggle too

When I started to tell ya, that I had it rough
Response the same But I kept opening up
When I felt like I couldn’t be more vulnerable
pushed past these walls, proved that we’re capable
When it felt like any moment I just might explode
We’d sit down, talk and try and lessen the load
slowly but surely became what we wanted
We tried our hardest, this is how it started

What if I, just needed a hand
And what if I, didn’t know how to land
Sometimes fly high, others times I’m low
Sometimes goodbye, is the way to go
But I, won’t give in that easy
I just need you to hear me
cuz I, won’t give in that easy
Gotta make sure you hear me
I love you
And I struggle too
I love you
But I struggle too

I Struggle Too

My sweet love song 'God Always Knows'. The lyrics of this song are based on a conversation between a man and a woman. I hope yo enjoy!

Lyrics:

I loved him with the redness of flesh
Carried his name on my breath
And each time the sun headed west
We were one

Rose, I loved her and loved her alone
But I confess, it cuts to my bones
I had another woman at home
 It is so

He was the river of blood inside me
Poured himself into my deeps
And his love was easy and sweet
Till he’d gone

Lord, I swear I am a man of your law
I ask not for forgiveness thus more
I deserve all your earthly chores
That is sure

Ah
Ah
Ah
God always knows	

So, I am once again on my own
That’s okay, I got my soul
But yes, wherever I may roam
He’s my home

Me, I will never be able to leave
The sin of infidelity
For the love that she afforded me
Was my defeat

Ah
Ah
Ah
God always knows

Ah
Ah
Ah
God always knows

God Always Knows
