My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

When Tom made me hear this music, I immediately thought of singing a text I had written a while ago for a previous song. It felt like the obvious encounter of these words with their music. It is a huge pleasure and honor to be part of this project with two fantastic members of the SC community.

Vois la grisaille
Qui voile la ville
Moi je fais bye bye
En remontant par l'écoutille

Je mets les voiles
Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Vers mes désirs qui se dévoilent

Vois-tu la faille
Au-dessus du vide
Assez de regarder la paille
Lassé de moi terre-à-terre aride

Je mets les voiles
Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Peut-être à la prochaine escale

Cherche un amer
Un bras de mer
Capte un signal
Des étoiles, des étoiles

Je mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Mets les voiles
Vers mes désirs qui se dévoilent

I am very delighted to this collaboration with VagueWanderer. "Frame" is actually Manca and Alessandro' s idea (music and poetry) and i added to the music.

Frame (collaboration with VagueWanderer)

Nat came up with this lovely piano track and we let it sit for a while before I finally gave it a try with some words and my take on a melody to start it off. Nat then wrote her half of the lyrics and we harvested this somewhat ultimate ode to love between two soul mates. It accents the journey through failures and disappointment to finally connect with the lasting fulfillment. The happy comfort of finally reaching home.
Lyrics
You Are My Home by Craig Durgy & Nat Daniels 

I….. was lost till I found you
With the light all around you, that made us connect

 I……..was drawn ever nearer
Like a child to a mirror to truly reflect

You….conquered the blue and the dark
I….let you through to my heart

Now, I will be yours always
I will be yours always, to the end of days…..

Eyes that calm, my heart within your palm
Sweet, hold me complete, you are my home
I’ve found my home
Dar-ling you, passion so deep and true
All that I hold on to, you are my home

All my Life, I felt so unaligned, 
Outta step …outta time, ‘till you came along
 
Now each breath, is light from the day we met,
The comfort of you has left, me a prisoner of Love

There, is no one but you for me.
Nights I searched, would always lead you to me.. And I..  to you.

Darling you.. complete me in every room
That’s found in my solitude … a heart not alone
For you are my home… Oh you ARE my home.

You Are My Home

Lyrics:

The only way to reach out is to ride through the beat
A fossil that can filter out the grime and deceit
Am I crossing a line that sides with decease?
Pull me back Pull me back over in one piece

We all try to chase the fireflies
And some will catch the common prize
And some can say at least they tried
And others wash away with the tides

Song recipe: Borrow chords from the CCR Songbook that my Dad gave me for my 12th birthday, play some distorted Elmore James guitar licks, shout some vocals, become a human beatbox, add black magic, press record.
Adding to the guitar player meets the devil mythology. 

Lyrics:
When John met the Devil
The Devil was in a hole
And the Devil said to John:
Give me your hand, and I will give you riches like you've never known
Just give me your hand, John
I'll give you riches like you've never known
I'll give you a brand new (to you)
Gently used mobile home

Oh, John, don't worry about the bad
Cause the bad sleep well
Every single night
I'll leave you lots of whisky and bones
With meat...
Meat on them bones!

You can have all the love that you want
From these bathing beauties
in this Devil factory
It's like a bad restaurant
That's not very good
But you can have all you want
Understood?

One man's good luck charm
Is another man's burden
One man's suicide tree
Is just another man's shade

John, I can give you guile
Vanquish demons
I can keep you in style
Indulge your Id ego
I'll help you keep it under control
Hey John, Let me out of this hole
Get me out of this hole
Give me your hand, John!
Your hand John
Lift me up and out of the hole

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!
