full of insight with a great new country sound

Beautifully sensitive and insightful writing and gorgeous delivery from both of you!

Nat's vocals on this are so evocatively powerful (wonderful harmonizing Craig) I like the theme of love and understanding, when hurt feelings overwhelm.

Great in country how you can lay out the bare facts - just the best country sound around too

Geez, those are brilliant lyrics.  You both bring it all together so well.

A timeless song written by Rogers and Hart. Solo, trumpet and piano ￼- covered by Janis Joplin and Diana Krall to name a couple. 

Lyrics:

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unhappy little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time, you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time, you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue

No man´s land

Nat wrote this beautiful song about the complexities of marriage that can lead to unfair assumptions, where one spouse takes advantage of another based on the “wedding ring”. The words attempt to get through to the guilty party in hopes of easing the burden on her friend and revitalizing the marriage.

Lyrics:
Gun For Hire by Daniels & Durgy

It’s time to set aside 
All the shouting and the drama
To look inside yourself 
And release a little karma
‘Cause I heard the way you talked 
About a man I call my friend
And just because you’re married 
Don’t mean you own him ‘till the end

No, a ring and a contract 
Won’t keep a good man faithful
It‘s in the way you choose to treat him 
When you’re being mean and hateful
When you break down all his friends
And his ideas just cause you can 
Then expect him to love you with a fire, 
On command like he’s a gun... for hire

No a man needs some comfort 
And some words that understands him 
The hardships that he faces 
‘Cause he's the man to whom you're turning
He carries that with gladness 
For his woman and his kids
And he’ll treat you like an equal
If you do the same to him

So try to show some kindness
Without a reason or a motive
Allow him to have his dreams 
So he can come to you for purpose
And listen without judgement
Before sarcasm leaves your mind
As he is, don't change a single thing 
And he’ll be faithful without a wedding ring 

Oh love him with passionate fire
Not just.. like he’s a gun.. for hire

I´ll Be There

“This is about a toxic relationship inspired by the music of Charlie Puth. The song came together after watching some music production tutorials online with Charlie Puth and I was inspired by my love of his CHARLIE album, which is now in my Top 5 albums of all time. I get inspired for the direction of a song by my initial idea and so for this I was thinking Charlie Puth, which had me think of the word ‘proof’ and then the direction of the song was there. The opening lyric came to me and with that I created a story of a toxic relationship. It all came very quickly, which is always exciting. Thank you.” 

Proof. 

Why won’t you give me some proof? 
That you love me
That you’ll never let me go
Did you want me from the start? 
So come on tell me the truth 
Why won’t you give me some proof? 
How broken were you to do what you do? 
You said “I should go” 
From loving to hating you 
I need a reset, yeah 
So come on tell me the truth 
Why won’t you give me some proof? 

I can’t believe
You did this to me
A ghost and a dream now a nightmare on my TV screen
With charm and the heat and the dirt on your feet
Some Devilish plans and Heaven in her hands 
Wrapped all round my neck and making me sweat
I swear it’s a curse it makes this story worse 
With tractor beam grin she was pulling me in

_
Like waking from a deep, blue sleep
For many months the light was bleak
But this morning something happened
A rumble deep inside
Baby, I was coming alive


So many days it has been low
And often eyes would overflow
But this morning something happened
All around blue skies
Baby, I was coming alive
*

 With sunshine in my eye
And you by my side
Pieces of the darkness disappeared 
Yea with sunshine in my eye
Now a pep in my stride
Baby, I’m coming alive
*

The brighter days to come eventually 
Take advantege of that feeling free
Cause this morning something happend
And my smile was open wide
Yeah baby! I feel alive
*

With sunshine in my eye
And you by my side
Yeah (baby)! I’m feeling alive
Baby, I’m feeling alive

Coming Alive

The two await the unstruck sound
unconfronted.
Apart and stainless.
Impossible, yet apparent and whole.
Indestructible upon leaving
to the form between births
where the winds of the body dissolve
and enter the red and white drop.

The quartz hums in it's place
on the shelf
reflecting the roses.
Do not let the dust fall there.

There is a light on for you
where the solar plexus pulses
awaiting your radiating branches
and the evening redness on your skin.

Hi Everyone!
This is a simple and cheerful song for our dog named Waldek who is a fan of music and especially country music! 🍀

Of course, I also love country vibe (especially Johnny Cash !!!) and use this musical heritage, but here I certainly don’t play in this style. 
Fortunately, Waldek liked this song! 🔆

Hope you enjoy the vibe! 
Thanks a lot for listening and support!
