Never Ending Song of Love

There once was an amazing magical musical Band called 'Bread', fronted by the inimitable David Gates. Cover 'Sketch' created with all due respect and love for Bread, albeit only a rather small slice here. ;-)
Look What You've Done
(Bread - Gates - 1970)
You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
There is some-one you ought to meet,
It's me, Mister Incomplete.
Look, at what I've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That I'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.
Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed
But from where I stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that I might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times I've pleaded.
Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.

Look What You've Done - Version

Years Between - Lyrics

Time to go home
Time is not enough

And I have seen down the ways of time
And I feel them coming through me in waves

In my life, like a shadow in the sunlight
Just passing over all the days and the years between
And the long way and the journey into night and day
And when it's over our days are lost into real life

Breathe in the years
Time greeting me

And how all these things have me weighed down
When I have seen far away

And in my life, like a shadow in the sunlight
Just passing over all the days and the years between
And the long way and the journey into night and day
And when it's over our days are lost into real life

And what about when I get old?

And in my life, like a shadow in the sunlight
Just passing over all the days and the years between
And the long way and the journey into night and day
And when it's over our days are lost into real life

And what about now?

Strange Part of the Country

Years Between

My own derivative AcoustaTronic version of a Gatlin Brothers creative interpretative of a Trad Gospel tune predicated upon the story of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).
Prodigal Son 
(Referencing The Gatlin Brothers-Gaither 'Come Home' Version - 1997)
There was a young man who had the best of everything
(Oh Yeah) He was the first born of a wealthy man
But he was not satisfied with the best of everything
So he took his possessions in his hand
He traveled far and wide and he tasted worldly pleasure
Deep inside he was lonely without measure
And he wound up in a pig pen when he was nearly left for dead
Then he raised his eyes toward Heaven as he said
(Chorus)
I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house
I will beg him to forgive me for the fool that I've been
I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house
I will gladly be a servant if he'll take me back again?
I was a young man who had the best of everything
I was the first born of a hard-working man
But I was not satisfied with the best of everything
So I took my possessions in my hand
I traveled far and wide and I tasted worldly pleasure
Deep inside I was lonely without measure
Wound up in California where I nearly died
Then I raised my eyes toward Heaven as I cried
(Repeat Chorus)

Just a little song that I wrote awhile back.  I intended to rework but
never got around to it.  I kinda lost interest in it.  Oh well, seems I 
have a lot of these unfinished projects

Let It Roll  (Original)

Written and Produced by: Josh McAlexander

Nowhere To Run {Original}

This is an original love song that recalls such a vivid passion that he temps fate by dare asking if all these years later it could be reignited. Despite all odds, he ponders the seemingly impossible.

Lyrics:    Like We Could by Craig Durgy

I’m sure we can’t recall, the name of that motel
Where we parked our cars and hugged so hard we, 
Nearly fell
Like first time teenage fool-arounds we, 
Unlocked that door
And our summer duds went flying to the floor

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if we really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

The sun just melted all our cares, that distant day
But the bluegrass bands, like sonic fans just, 
Blew the sweat away
And I held you by your cut-off jeans like, 
Somewhere deep I knew
That loving you was too good to be true

And I loved you like no other, ‘cause I could
Never love another, the way we would
And I’d go back to that day with you, when it felt so good
Would you kiss me now, as if you really could
Can you understand, what we understood
And felt so good, like we could

Like We Could

Lyrics:  “Stronger Than You Know” by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Trying to collect her thoughts
Like shards of broken glass
Taking care of work and family
Never stops to ask for anything.
She just needs her second wind

Oh she’s a cowgirl
With a spirit free and wild
And life may take her down 
And keep her there a while
But like a Valkyrie
She’ll find the strength to rise up like before
Like a sunbeam 'cross the floor
Cause she’s a cowgirl, and she’s strong…
Yeah, stronger than she knows….

He comes in and slams the door 
And shows his weary eyes
Paying bills, no time for thrills
He’s giving every inch he’s got inside
But he needs a breath of life…

Oh... he’s a cowboy
With a spirit free and wild
And he may be grounded
But they can’t take what’s inside
And like a phoenix from the ashes
He will rise again once more
He’ll be stronger than before
‘Cause he’s a cowboy and he’s strong
Yeah, stronger than he knows…
You’re stronger than you know
You’re stronger than you know…

Stronger Than You Know

Souls Apart

It’s difficult for people to escape doubt. No matter how good things may seem at any point in our lives, there are always moments of concern, of counter-thought and worry that lurk in the shadows of our imagination. Few things are without blemish and most of us can be unforgiving in the presence of imperfection. Thus, the shadows and the darkness that seeks to stifle the light.

Lyrics:
Shadows of Doubt by Daniels & Durgy

Love can come, through the wind and rain
But too much sun, burns it all away
What I thought was fun,
What I thought would stay
Is up and gone like a Christmas Day

You appeared and your lips were true
Through the fear, I was lost in you
It was all so clear, but the moments flew
Then it slipped away with the slightest clue

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever, really cut you loose

As love grows, time reveals
Everything it knows, coming off its wheels
Dealing blows, does it blow the deal
Does it show what my heart should feel

Just a couple words, did I read ‘em wrong
Cause the way I heard, hit me pretty strong
The doubt occurred, like a half-wrote song
Throw it all away and just move along.  

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever really cut you loose
No, I just can’t let you loose.

Shadows Of Doubt

27 Seconds And Counting

I wrote this one just before July 4th, 2016 as I was troubled by how patriotism seems to be fading these days. Frequently equated with nationalism, or expansionism and other more aggressive, negative concepts relative to the global community. Pride and values for our traditional ideals and foundations have been well battered. It's often an unpopular and uneasy position for a person to show true love for America. So this song attempts to declare it indeed very cool and very important to hold onto the basic and good principles that make America uniquely wonderful. Right on!

Remixed and produced with many thanks to Nat Daniels to help improve my rough original track.

Lyrics
Right On by Craig Durgy

I passed somebody on the street today, he said how are ya and I said OK
I never saw the guy before or since but he’s my brother, we’re Americans
Right On, we are Americans, Right On

But lately we’ve been getting pulled apart, 
Testing our constitution and our heart
Some people make and others take too much 
And now we’re hunted down, we’ve had enough
Right On, it’s time that we get tough, Right On

Right On, sea to shining sea, Right On, trying to keep it free
Right On, brother you and me, let’s pull together
Right On, when we fought for days, on Iwo Jima till our flag was raised
Right On, when only God was praised, Right On

These days I guess our country ain’t so cool, all our customs are like fossil fuel
So many people that don’t give a damn,
For Old Glory and our Uncle Sam
Right On, for our Uncle Sam, Right On

Right On, freedom must be won, Right On, we can’t turn and run
Right On, till the fight is gone, we must stay together
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On

Although the world wants everything we’ve got, 
They pile upon us till we start to rot
But we can’t forget that we’re still free 
Or those white crosses left in Normandy
Right On, way back in Normandy, Right On

Right On, for the farmer’s hand, Right On, for our firemen
Right On, if you understand God and country
Right On, for our men in blue and for Thanksgiving and Park Avenue
Right On, bleed red, white and true, Right On

Right On, may our flag yet wave, 
Right On, for all our veterans and soldiers brave
Right On, for every life we gave, Right On
Right On, say the words out loud I pledge allegiance and I pledge it proud
Right On, just like my grandpa vowed, Right On
Right On, love it then and now, Right On

Right On

Nick Drake - Place to Be

Guitar and vocals by Stefano Manotti 

When I discovered Nick Drake's music, I immediately felt richer as a musician and less alone as a person. An artist who delved into the depths of human emotions, unafraid, driven solely by the need to express himself.The eternal beauty that he created will endure for centuries. I wanted to pay tribute to him with his masterpiece, in the fingerpicked version he recorded as a demo.
 

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

EVERY BREATH I TAKE

EVERY STEP I TAKE

EVERY WORD I SPEAK

EVERY PROMISE I KEEP

EVERY RIVER I CROSS

EVERY MOUNTAIN I CLIMB
IS BECAUSE OF YOU  

THE FAITH THAT I HAVE
IS BECAUSE OF YOU
THE HOPE THAT I HAVE
IS BECAUSE OF YOU

THE LOVE THAT I HAVE
IS BECAUSE OF YOU
THE BLESSINGS THAT I HAVE
ARE BECAUSE OF YOU

WITHOUT YOU LORD
I AM NOTHING
BECAUSE OF YOU LORD
I AM SOMETHING

For My Audience Of One

For My Audience Of One ( Fox , Brownie & Daniels )

When my best friend moved back to West Virginia when I was still in elementary school, I knew I had to go visit the Mountain State that I had heard so much about. After several summer visits with my family I quickly found a sort of second home away from Connecticut where I've lived my entire life. The images of the town of Keyser, the people, the vast woodlands and easy going way of life really hit me and has never left. Since those early days I've returned with my own kids and they too got an idea of how I felt about "The Friendliest Town In The USA" as the sign plainly states as you drive into town on Route 220. This song is dedicated to Margaret and Richard Campbell, my friend's parents who are no longer with us, but have made a lasting impression of kindness, family values, tough love, backwoods wisdom and southern hospitality.

Update (2023): Many thanks to my esteemed music partner and friend, Nat Daniels, for re-mastering and producing the updated track for this song.

Lyrics:  
Keyser West Virginia by Craig Durgy

If you’re out some Sunday and you check your map
Headin’ south through Maryland and the Cumberland Gap
On Route 220 where the valley comes to view

You can smell that paper mill, miles away
As the road descends into the Mountain State
Past a parkin’ lot full of cars at the Chat n’ Chew

When you cross that bridge where the North Branch flows
And you see that sign that everyone knows
There ain’t no doubt it’s Keyser, and it’s true

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

You can ride on down along New Creek Drive
Or take a golf cart ride at the Polish Pines
And on Green Mountain someone’s huntin’ for deer 

On Friday nights in the early fall
The Golden Tornado gonna move that ball
On Saturday they say how 'bout them 'eers!

Green tomatoes in a frying pan
String beans, bacon and chicken, man!
Or try some Stray Cat wings with a couple of beers. 

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A. 

Here in West Virginia, Lord you know I love this mountain state
Allegheny air gets in ya, 
And man those pines at Dolly Sods look great 

Some folks work at the ABL
West Vaco also pays pretty well
And Pot State College has lots to offer too

You can be a local or from out of town
Maybe up from Dallas or from Boston down
You'll get a wave from a lotta folks that ya never knew

And if you get the urge and the highway calls
Take a day trip down to Blackwater Falls
It’s West-By-God-Virginia, through and through!

That it’s the, friendliest town in the, friendliest town in the,
Friendliest town…in, Keyser West Virginia,
In the whole U.S.A.

Keyser West Virginia

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)

SHE GREW UP IN THE COUNTRY
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
HER HOME WAS HER SANCUARY
SHE KNEW THE MEANIN' OF HURT

HER MAMA WAS A SWEET SOUL
WITH A HEART OF GOLD
HER DADDY WAS A DRINKIN' MAN
AND DRINKIN' WAS HIS PLAN

THEY LIVED IN A RUN DOWN HOUSE
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
MAN...WAS HER DADDY A LOUSE
LIP STICK ALWAYS ON HIS SHIRT

(CHROUS)
NO GOOD TIMES COULD BE FOUND
TEN MILES SOUTH OF TOWN
DREAMS TURNED TO HURT
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT
YEA…DREAMS TURNED TO HURT
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT

MANY NIGHTS SHE CRIED HERSELF TO SLEEP
LISTENIN' TO SCREAMIN' AND SHOUTIN'
THE SCARS IN HER HEART RAN DEEP
SPENT A LOT OF TIME DREAMIN'

BEGGED HER MAMA TO LEAVE HIM
WAS JUST TOO SCARED TO TRY
THINGS WERE LOOKIN' PRETTY DIM
THE PROBLEMS BEGAN TO MULTIPLY

SOMETHIN' HAD TO GIVE AND IT DID
HER MAMA SHOT HER DADDY
WHEN HER EMOTIONS EXPLODED
TIRED OF BEIN' TREATED LIKE A NOBODY

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

NO MORE SCREAMIN'
NO MORE SHOUTIN'
IT'S IN GOD'S HANDS
WHERE THE BLACKTOP TURNED TO DIRT

Years ago I saw this artist perform at the Hard Rock In New Orleans.
Keb Mo, just him and his guitar.  Wow, I was hooked , obtained his CDs and wore them out.  I had to learn a few of his songs.  This is a short version of this great tune.  Just acoustic guitar with a few lick.  Singing and Picking

Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

JOHNNY WASEN'T A PREACHER MAN	
OR THE LEADER OF A WORSHIP BAND	
HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER	
OR EVEN A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER	
	
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	
	
(CHORUS)	
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

NOW HE'S SINGIN' WITH THE ANGEL'S	
AND WALKIN' THE STREETS OF GOLD
