tremendously confident and resonant guitar (and mandolin?)

I pressed play with some trepidation - who covers a song like this and doesn't sound hammy? Jeez I was wrong - I love this country version, you totally own it and it works a treat.

I'm stunned at how you put this together - the base iphone recording is great!

Nice atmosphere. Love the feels. Just wonderful!

almost a totally different song. like the light of a new day

Very different to the Beatles version but appealing nevertheless.

Interesting reimagining of a classic!! Nice!!

Lyrics :

Stop running
Fly

I Figured out you did it
That’s sad enough
Back like a zombie storm

I always have a deal
With such gods, just
Processing the details
Always

Hey you have to feed my ghost
No reverse
We backed into the drive

It Will End... (Part III) - Beyond the In-between

Another Allegory Of Evil

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.

Beware Of The Fake People - INC VIDEO

Garbage Can (Digital Master)

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

Space Oddity (Bowie cover)

The Beatles were a profound influence on so many of us that grew up during the 60’s, musically, culturally and emotionally. The frenzy they stirred while somehow mostly evoking a certain playful joy will never cease to touch my memories of growing up with hope and enthusiasm. This song covers one of their beautiful old-school ballads, written by John Lennon, and providing a bit of a contrast to their signature rocking hits. It was released in 1963 as a single that ended up on their 1964 album, “Meet The Beatles”. I’ve always loved how it pulled together a bit of the 50’s slow-dance beauty with John’s emotive vocal delivery and the groups tight harmonies and overall Beatles vibe. Happily, Nat was glad to give this cover a go as we revved it up with a somewhat country-bluegrass feel while trying to hold onto some of that Fab 4 charm.

Track # 10 from my new Christmas Album "Starry Nights & Northern Lights

10. It Doesn't Seem Like Christmas To Me

Another classic love song made most famous by the one and only Elvis Presley with his 1961 release as part of the soundtrack album “Blue Hawaii”. It was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore & George David Weiss (Gladys Music, Inc.). This is based on a live recording that we feel captures the essence of the lovely emotions the song expresses.

Can’t Help Falling In Love

Can't Help Falling in Love (Cover) LIVE

This beautiful ballad was written by Michael Nesmith, probably best known as one of The Monkees, but remembered here as a solo artist. Sadly this was his only top 40 success though I feel he had other well written efforts. This is another one of our recordings that started with a raw live performance with some minor post-live enhancements.

Joanne

Joanne - Live (Cover)

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

Let It Be Me (Cover)

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.
