It's amazing to me that you two don't record in the same room, and that there is an ocean between you. The sound and performances are just so organic.

Classic and so deeply felt. Every move real and right for me.

Man, I so enjoy all of your post--to get such quality from your recordings-you two were meant to sing together !!!!

Well written song and perfect performances right across the faders

Beautiful song, great writing, and superb vocals and harmonies Nat and Craig!

Fantastic vocal blend. Awesome that you put this together working across continents. Really nice lyrics too!

Child's Play

I'm just so beyond it all this is child's play to me
Think you're clever? I don't know. Let's just wait and see
Before you lay your trip on me let me lay my trip on you
I could be doing a million things but here I am with you

Hey hey hey

Try to get a little you can't get enough so you divert the stream
No more thirst you've got a flood watering your dreams
Before you try to probe me get get to know me on the street
The rumble of the highway bridge underneath your feet

Hey hey hey

I'm just so done with it all this is child's play to me
Walk away, it falls to ruin. What is that to me?
Before you put your trust in me there's something you should know
I'm in love with everything and everything must go

Hey hey hey

Child's Play

WHEN YOU FINALLY L:EAVE

Future sunset Omarama
Knowing only you will see
It’s a low brow shrinking ceiling

A contract without words
It’s the thick of family
Harbinger of lonely hearts
The fate of you and me

And when you finally leave
We gotta face it courageously
When you finally leave
We gonna have to suck it up – it’s the right thing to do
We gonna have to draw down on memory 

Fate is born by trajectory
Attraction mangles fences
Leaving snow grass blowing free

And how the years were kind to us
Yearning for the workplace
The weekends oh so bleak

And when you finally leave . . .
Instrumental
You got a date stamp – a black hole in the sky - And I got to make way

You and your Omarama – we’ll both be conscience free
But how will we feel? . . . 

Cause when you finally . .

When You Finally Leave

Onion Peel part l to lV featuring Jo Richter(Sonic Structure and Silent Stretches)

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love, I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Unlimited (unlimited)
My future is (my future is) unlimited (unlimited)
And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy
I know, it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday I'll be
Flying so high (defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye (defying gravity)
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down

Just Forget Me

Behind You

This time, I played one of Led Zeppelin's signature songs, "Stairway to Heaven," on a nylon string electric acoustic guitar.
This song is included on Led Zeppelin's fourth album. The album sold over 29 million copies worldwide and was certified platinum in the United States.
Like all guitarists who consider themselves avid Led Zeppelin fans, I love this song and often play it lightly when tuning my guitar. I omitted the effect processing and simply adjusted the volume and uploaded it. I noticed that it sounded more boosted than when recording the chord strokes in the second half. Since it's a Led Zeppelin piece, I thought it might not be a bad idea to listen to it in this condition.
Personally, I hope that everyone can feel that the nylon strings (end type) that come with the two electric acoustic guitars fit perfectly into the guitar itself.
Winter is over in Japan, and we are about to enter the spring season, but I chose this piece as the final part of this winter's nylon string solo performance series. After this, I'm starting to look forward to the possibility of using a nylon string guitar to complete some of the collaborative pieces that I've been unable to complete.

LYRICS

Kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one round they'd gone to bed
They were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

The Governments just would not help
Just told us tighten up your belt
Another notch or two
But we know that we'll get through

ooooh la la la la
ooooh la la la la

My shoes were worn
And full of holes
I could touch the pavement through the soles
One good shirt and one good vest
Now no-one had a Sunday best

Churches empty no-one prayed
Everyone just seemed afraid
They'd meet God soon enough
They've got things oh so rough

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la

Looted shops and broken glass
The lifestyle of the working class
But no-one worked there were no jobs
And factories had turned to rust
And rival gangs patrolled the streets
Would kill each other when they meet

Instrumental

Food was rationed just enough
And any dreams had turned to dust
But lords and ladies dined so well
They had no idea of this hell

I kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one around they'd gone to bed
But they were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la


Outro

Things They Could Not Change Change

An easy going country tune that tells the story of a guy whose girlfriend breaks things off because she has doubts about being confined in their relationship. He walks away but never gives up hope that she would want him back, and well...I don't want to give away the ending.
Many thanks to Nat Daniels (Gentle Rain Records) for her considerable production work that greatly improved the final track from my original recording.

Lyrics:The Last Time by Craig Durgy

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Breaking up, moving out
Gentle touch, no need to shout
We can see, what it's about
You need to be, free of all doubt 

Waking up, laying still, found the channel changer, lost my will
Writing letters, to myself, trying to gather, my mental health

I walk door-ward…you look forward

Board the last train, for the last time, 
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Holding on, laying low
Winter gone, and I’m praying for snow
Crossed the train tracks, 1 A-M
Brings my thoughts back, to you again

Now and then I'd, make the trip, down your street I'd, quietly slip
Looking up, window light, who was in your, arms tonight?

Afraid of knocking…keep on walking. 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

But sometimes when you, keep hope alive
Something happens, making it right
Ringing phone, your voice I hear
Saying please come home and,
Wipe away my tears

I'm headed door-ward…we're moving forward

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline 

Board the last train, for the last time
For this lasting, love of mine, Madeline (repeat)

The Last Time

An easy going country tune where the singer tells his lady about somebody he's in love with, someone that has been around since he can remember. A grade school crush, the high school prom date, the college sweetheart and the passing beauty in a random hallway. But they were all just wanabe dreams that never came true, until now.

Better Than Blue

In Love With Somebody by Craig Durgy

Copyright Daniels & Durgy 2019
Written by Craig Durgy

Lyrics:
Far away again,
Living on barley and a picture by my radio
Sometimes it fades out of view

It’s been done before
Time pulls apart or brings together
Making something new
Well honey that may be true
I still only know it’s You,
That makes me love you like I do

Chorus:
I do, do , do…. 
like I do
I do do do
Folks can scream until they’re blue
But I’ll keep coming through
to love you like I do

The telephone rings
I can’t even tell the way that you’ve been wearing your hair..
sometimes it fades out of view.

Fighting for your way,
crashing into things that sometimes 
slur the words you meant to say,
Well honey here’s one clue, 
and it’s high time that you knew..
You make me love you like I do

Chorus:
I do, do, do…. 
I Do!
I do do do
Folks can scream until they’re blue
But I’ll keep coming through
to love you like I do

Bridge:
I know you can see it when you try
you know I’ve got my own style
You make me smile..
You make me smile!

Don’t you fade away...
Like the pictures and the telephone line.. oh baby no,
honey stay right where you are!
There’s nowhere I’d rather be,
Just closer to you with each day that passes by, 
just closer to you, baby you get me through
I’m so glad I’m alive, ‘cause you let me love you like I do

Chorus:
I do, do , do…. 
I love you like I do
I do do do
Folks can scream until they’re blue
But I’ll keep coming through
to love you like I do...

Folks can scream until they’re blue
But I’ll keep coming through
to love you like I…. Do
