Nordic Winter / Nordischer Winter - Sandra Labsch

Out on the Bay  (Original)

Although this song was written by me about one of my most loved places in the world, I heard Nat sing it when we were figuring out how to present it, and I just had to have her stick with the lead vocals as she sings it so beautifully, even though she has never set foot in the great Mountain State (now she wants to!). So we just changed "she" to "he" and it all fell into place. It tells the story of someone who has watched a lover leave and seeks solace in the Wonderful and Wild of West Virginia. The state became a bit of a passion for me since I first visited our friends in Keyser when I was still a boy. And it still represents a place of reflection and spirit to me. A place where one can find themselves and answer the deeper questions perhaps. And that's what happens in this song. It celebrates the wonders of this beautiful place even while it describes the complicated challenges of this world. This is dedicated to the entire Campbell family, without whom I'd not know the beauty I've tried to capture in this simple song. I especially want to recognize Margaret & Richard as the head of that Campbell clan, bless them both in heaven. As long as there are mountains and rivers in West Virginia, their memory will live large.

Lyrics;
Hey, West Virginia, I’m crossing your state line
It’s me again, hello old friend, it’s been a long, long time
Four windows open, to feel your mountain air
To breathe you in, rememberin’, the child in me out there
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
I know he’s leaving, I just came to tell you so
These backroads lead me back to me
To watch your Greenbrier flow
Yeah, he’s moving on now, you knew long ago
It’s what I do, so much like you, 
They come, they love, they go
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
He loved my stories, and sunshine, wind and rain 
But like before, he’s found the door, and here I am again
Hey West Virginia, the tall grass crickets call 
The stars appear, much closer here
You catch ‘em when they fall
You always catch me when, I fall
You always catch me when,
You always catch me when, I fall

This terrific song is the work of our friend Steve Low who granted us permission to attempt a cover. As much as we love Steve's original, we saw no point in trying to do it the same as he so wonderfully did, so we thought it would be fun to go country, perhaps a bit bluegrass and we're very excited to share it here. The song has some terrific lyrics that describe the longing one experiences when the one they love is gone. We thank Steve for allowing us the privilege and we also are pleased to again feature the amazing banjo work of Hamilton Belk.

Lyrics (by Steve Low):
You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

All The Headlights

Written by Paul McCartney and released near the end of the band’s existence on the Let It Be album in 1970, something made Craig try it out for our own style. It was a live home recording and we liked it. Nat then took it and added her magic harmonies and piano to pretty it up so nicely. Made it a very much more straight forward country folk sound with the accent on the lovely lyrics.

Seafaring Wanderer 
Produced, Written & Performed by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Starlight star bright 
I wished upon a city light
That the Western Winds will lead me to you
Like a long desert road with no detours or turns one can miss…
Ending in arms wide open
That greets me for certain.. with a kiss.

Oh that sun sets low 
And time waits suspended,
Mesmerising me, like the warmth of your smile
And though I’ve seen it all, the seafaring wanderer
Has found nothing new …
All this time I was searching for meaning
I found it in you.


Starlight star bright 
The bourbon made this night all right..
But the city streets, holds empty and cold
Every neon sign flickers a heart beat the beckons 
“Come on home”..
Every newspaper flutter, is like Angels that Mutter.. 
“Call his phone..” 

Oh this road I’m on has one destination,
Every star I choose just leads me to you…
Yes I’ve seen it all, like a seafaring wanderer
But one thing held true!
All this time I was searching for meaning 
I found it in you..

Seafaring Wanderer

Peace of Your Love

Won’t you listen to me baby
please don’t think that I’m crazy 
I’ve walked so many miles
just - just to see you smile
tell me I’m not wasting - wasting my time
a good women is so hard to find
you turn me off and then you turn me on
can’t you see what I’m saying with my song?
Why don’t you gimme - gimme
gimme - gimme
why don’t you gimme - gimme
why don’t you gimme - gimme
a peace of your love
a peace of your love
sweet peace - sweet peace - sweet peace
of your love.

We’ll I’m walking down the street
the winter wind is at my feet
the summer sun is on mind
you know it’s so hard - so hard to find
love at first sight when the seasons
come and go for all the wrong reasons
I’d love to love you tender & love you true
but I can’t figure out what to do.
Why don’t you gimme -gimme
gimme - gimme
why don’t you gimme - gimme
why don’t you gimme - gimme
a peace of your love
a peace of your love
sweet peace - sweet peace - sweet peace
of your love
of your love

Home (Original)

I wanted a calm beautiful sound when going to the Abyss. No throatlike
 sound. 
You hear a hornlike signal.The engines work smooth and are lightly going. Pride and joy is all around some kind of spirit of departure and optimism. Clear cool but crystal waters all around. It is THE DAY everybody dreamed of for months. Today they go to the almost unknown. A once in a life adventure.
They go to the  Very Deep - the so called Abyss.The passengers feel safe in their submarine, because they have strengthend the mantel and the overall security sytem. They are so proud of those submarines.A labor of love.  Allthough they know it`s a risky adventure, they are so curious not angry at all . Even a heartbeat is pretty loud in that situation.
Seeing  alienlike animals.They see them in pairs or more  - very beautiful (clunkering  slightly asynchron sound ). All are banned by these luminated out of earth beings. Unique animals, unique pictures. All are happy about what they have seen.  All is fine. Everyting is flowing, dreamy and lightweight, allthough it is dark, cold dangerous, hellike outside. The yellow submarine seems to be a homeplace for the passengers  in this unknown world. The machines work like those undestroyable ones, very very smooth, with that special sound.The sonar works well.But something is wrong. But what went wrong? They  don`t know what. But they know it someway. There is it- water is coming in.They have to go up-(  They have forgotten their trusty Beatles music. They have a quarrel about it. They forget about their main intentions, so they didn`t have a close look at their instruments. These say - go down more slowly. But they are a bit to fast, so this  was a bit to much for the trusty overhauled Yellow Submarine. )A tiny crack in ithe bull`s eye.
They are so deep and kilometers away from the surface. From the beauty of the deep to chaos in a second. Nobody really knows what to do, but they have functioning instincts. Exception someone
 who can fix it provisionally, temporary with someting simple (chewing gum, tape or pressing a screwdriver into the crack, I don`t know- but it works. And the engines of theYELLOW SUBMARINE  take them faster than every other divingboat  to the safe surface. For the wounds and lumps there is a  coolpack- find it in the picture.  End of the story.... 

Yellow Submarines Go Deeper ( But Sometimes Must Go Up Fast )

Music & Lyrics: Margareta Theorin

ÄLSKAD AV INGEN JAG ÄR

När jag inte känner för
att göra någonting.
Varje morgon vaknar jag
fast jag inte vill.

Om jag kunde komma på
vad jag önskar allra helst
men jag vet ingen levandes råd
varje dag blir till en pest.

Skönhet och intelligens
saknar jag nog alltjämt.
Ingenting är jag värd.
Älskad av ingen jag är.

I Am I Said - AcoustaTronic SongShot

I Am I Said - Version

Je ne peux plus dire je t'aime 
Ne me demande pas pourquoi 
Je ne ressens ni joie ni peine 
Quand tes yeux se posent sur moi 
Si la solitude te pèse 
Quand tu viens à passer par là 
Et qu'un ami t'a oubliée 
Tu peux toujours compter sur moi

Je ne peux plus dire je t'aime
Sans donner ma langue à couper 
Trop de serpents sous les caresses 
Trop d'amours à couteaux tirés 
Si dure que soit la solitude 
Elle te ramène à ton destin 
La loi du grand amour est rude 
Pour qui s'est trompé de chemin

Je ne peux plus dire je t'aime - Jacques Higelin (18 oct 1940 - 6 avril 2018)

I'M NOT A POLITICAL GUY
DON'T ASK ME TO TAKE A SIDE
IF YOUR WANDERING WHY
IT'S A LONG HARD RIDE

THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH DIVISION
ARE YOU LEFT OR ARE YOU RIGHT
IF YOU MAKE IT YOUR LIFES MISSION
IT WILL BRING YOU PAIN AND STRIFE

(CHORUS)
I'M NOT A POLITICAL GUY
LET ME TELL YOU WHY
WE SHOULD MEET IN THE MIDDLE
WORK TOGETHER TO FIGHT EVIL
WHY CAN'T WE WORK TOGETHER
TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER
AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE
YEA, MEET IN THE MIDDLE

FAMILIES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED
BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT AGREE
LOVE LOST AND FOREVER DIVIDED
HOW DID THIS COME TO BE

WHY CAN'T WE AGREE TO DISAGREE
WHY CAN'T WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER
IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU AND ME
IN THIS LIFE...WE ARE ALL BROTHERS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GOD, FAMILY, LOVE AND PEACE
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

The streets are so dark and dire
What are we doing here...
A strong cup and a smile
Or maybe just disappear...

Seeking asylum from
a shade that you cant unsee
White light clouds my head
I’m Diving in too deep...

Words they elude me now...
You take 'em right away 
Why is the one that led you here...
Lookin the other way

We’re far away from home
oh so far away we roam
So far away...here to stay
Oh so far away from home...

What are you thinking now 
Behind that vacant stare
The weight of the world somehow
upon your face so fair...

Words they confuse me now...
You take 'em right away 
Why is the one that led you here
Lookin the other way...

The streets are so dark and dire...
What are we doing here

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL
WAS A SMALL COUNTRY STORE
BUYIN' A COKE AND MOON PIE
IT WAS QUITE A THRILL

WHERE THE OLD MEN GATHERED
TO PLAY DOMINO'S AND CHECKERS
YOUNG BOYS GATHERED TO PLAY BALL
IN THE PASTURE OUT BACK

THE KID'S LOVED CATCHIN' FIRE FLIES
AND PUTTIN' THEM IN A JAR
WATCHIN' THEM LIGHT UP
UNDER THE STARY SKIES

(CHORUS)
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
WITH COUNTRY ON MY MIND
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME
YEA, GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME

SETTIN' OUT FISH HOOKS
ON A SMALL CREEK BANK
SITTIN' AROUND A CAMP FIRE
TELLIN' STORIES AND JOKES

NO CITY STREETS OR BOULEVARDS
PLAYED SOME BASKETBALL
WITH  HOME MADE GOALS
IN OUR BACK YARDS

NO I-PAD OR I-PHONE
JUST SOME GOOD TIMES
AND GOOD MEMORIES
OF A WONDERFUL HOME

Lyrics:

Unveiling of the night
Leaves a misty moon 
In the morning light
Driving in my car 
I know what’s up ahead
And seeking what’s behind

Floating down I’m lost within this feeling
As your sweet sweet words own all meaning
I’m in trouble....

Chorus
Chances are... you’ll stare at the same moon
Chances are... you’re needing my love too 
I can see your lights are on,
As I’m passing on your line
Chances are... I’ll give in one more time
Chances are......Chances are....

Memories rewind like a broken film
Taking me through time
Wish I had a dime for every time I said
I’m leaving it behind

It’s no use, I’m locked within this feeling
‘Cause your sweet sweet words ...
Owns all meaning ...  I’m in trouble..

Chorus
Chances are...my phone will play a tune
Chances are... you’ll sway me like you do
It’s a game the fates keep playing 
And It’s playing you and I
Chances are... 
the road will lead me to your arms tonight ..  
Chances are...   
Chances are...   
Chances are.

HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER

HE NEVER EVER PRAYED OUT LOUD	
OR TRIED TO STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO LUST OR SIN	
NEVER AFRAID TO SAY AMEN

JOHNNY LOVED JESUS, MUSIC AND FAMILY  	
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HIS OWN WORST ENEMY	
HE LOVED SINGIN' PRAISES TO HIS LORD	
PRAYED THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE HIS REWARD	
	
	
HE DIDN'T LIVE IN A MANSION	
OR NEED LOTS OF  ATTENTION	
HE DIDN'T DRIVE A FANCY CAR	
OR OWN ANY RARE GUITARS	
	
HE LOVED HIS OLD FLAT TOP	
AND HE PLAYED IT NONSTOP	
HE WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE	
OF THAT OLD TIME COUNTRY GOSPEL

Waiting for your Sunshine / Standing in the Moonlight / Cecilia, Paploviante & Lillithe

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

- John

My humble tribute to Rick Wakeman-

I’m lying on my back
As I watch the clouds
I’m turning down the noise
Because it’s much too loud
It’s easy to get distracted 
From what is real
It’s easy to get confused
About the way you feel
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
