Romance

Everything For The Now

Another lyric and melody fragment grown by trading the memory card back and forth between us. Still to remix at some point. Thanks to our SC friends and hope you enjoy.

Lyrics: 
Turn down your fear
Lay down your worries
Tell me all your sorrows
Give them to me, let them be only mine

Know that I'm near
Stay, don't you hurry
Listen for your answers
Speaking to you, a whisper at a time

Turn down your fear
Lay down your worries
Tell me all your sorrows
Give them to me, know that they are mine

Worry

A song from a couple of years ago, with my old friend Gareth on acoustic guitar.

The Drink Talking

I have said some foolish things
In my life along the way
But I am not a sober man
So pay no heed to what I say
And when I say, I love you
You may never know it’s true
That’s not my heart
It’s just the drink talking

And we won’t think too deeply
About the nature of these things
We were thrown into this sea of life
Without any water wings
And we can sink alone here
Whilst hope eternal springs
But we can’t swim
We’re just treading water

And in this dreamed existence
In our imagined feather bed
Our wishes become fishes
Our dreamcatcher is misled
We dream our future perfectly
In homes of gingerbread
This isn’t life
We’re just sleep walking
       That’s not my heart
        It’s just the drink talking

This is part 2 of some improvisational recordings I made with Pat Howell's beautiful handcrafted-from-a -kit dreadnought acoustic guitar.  Part 1 details the guitar's journey a little more and here I wanted Pat to hear his guitar in drop D tuning, and I thought you'd like to hear it too:)

This is a new version of my song 'Journey Into The Unknown' that I offered as an open collab (https://soundcloud.com/omcb/journey-into-the-unknown-open-collab). 
Now I have discovered a song by Cecilia that goes very well with it. 'The Bright Side' goes incredibly well with the track. The right lid for the pot, as we would say here :-)

Open collab by @specialececilia

The Bright Side - Special Cecilia & OMCB

This is a song Craig wrote and was the first song that we did together, prior to officially forming Daniels & Durgy. Both of us added fresh vocals and Nat has gone back in and polished up a lot of the sound quality and added instrumentation to make this now a new, Daniels & Durgy creation. The song describes two people who are temporarily separated by distance but not in spirit. The man remains at home in the country (rural) while the lady is off at some urban setting waiting to return home and be reunited.

LYRICS:
Softly, softly the morning
Sunlight, quietly warming
Fills the fields, with you until
You're back home with me

Echoes, traffic below my
Window, strangers that go by
My hotel, can't wait until
I'm back home with you

Every day far away 
Each moment filled with you
Everywhere I feel you there
So gentle and so true
Time alone, but love has grown
So softly, softly with you

Glowing, lights of the city
Knowing, your heart is with me
A siren cries and fills my eyes 
Till I'm in your arms again

Starlight, showers the quiet of the
Dark night, and I realize it is a
‘nother sign from you, till I'm
In your arms again

Every day far away 
Each moment filled with you
Everywhere I feel you there
So gentle and so true
Time alone, but love has grown
So softly, softly with you

Softly, softly the morning
Sunlight, quietly warming
My windowsill, just wait until
You’re back home with me

Echoes, traffic below my
Window, strangers that go, right by my
Windowsill, just wait until
I'm back home with you
Gentle rain on my window pane, till you’re in my arms again
