I wrote Angel in 2001 and it has taken many different arrangements - many that are unfinished.  For example you can hear a version of Angel - slop demo on my soundcloud.  In this one, it is all about a lush big arrangement, as always I am performing it all.  Still attempting to discover resolution on how I might present this old song as the lyric continues to change.  This is one serving suggestion. And this a rough  vocal, simply there for me to recall timing for changes.  Don't bash the vocal, scratch track. - copyright DD Enterprises, LLC all rights reserved.

Cover Me With Flowers (Voc112602) Sylvian; Daniels Cover

David Daniels - composed, performed, recorded, produced and now shared this notion of being   "The Changed" - all DD

Lyric goes like this:
The Changed – David Daniels
I am not dead anymore
The soil is clean
Faith no more

And in the winter
I have changed
My mask is gone
And everything is not so simple anymore
My angel is not the same

If I only I could love
Share passion beyond love

And in this village
All of us have changed
I see Your Face
Can we escape the ravage of our lives?
And the memories are the same

If Only We Could Love
To Move Beyond The Hurt

The Myth of The Rising

The Changed

From the demo of the musical. The Myth of The Rising by David Daniels. This that collection of feelings that I wrote about being away overseas, in battle and coming home to find home life is just as disrupted in a different kind of war. This is Homecoming - Parts I-III #TMOTR

10 Homecoming - Part I (the Journey Be

Hi - I wrote this back in 2002, it was meant to be the last track on "The Reflecting Pool" but it didn't fit.  This is the original demo from that time, copied, compressed, optimized, it is lo fi - but if gives you a sense of what it is/was. 10 years later I am working into that musical.  here it is a demo track, w/ me on these things: 
DD: Keyboards – Synths and Piano: Emu Proteus/1, Roland TD-6, Oberheim Matrix 1000; Electric Guitars – Fender Stratocaster; SX Custom Telecaster, Acoustic Guitar – Short Neck Classical 6 string; SynthBass: Casio VZ-10M, Oberheim Matrix 1000; Electric Bass Guitar – Jackson 4 String; Drum Programming – Drum loops; Drumming and Percussion – Roland V-Drums; Vocals   ... I attempted my best Robert Fripp slippery Guitar in places :)

The Lyrics
Bound to Light
Daniels (5/6/02, modified 5/14/02)

a ray of light, let it shine
take my hands as the rope unwinds
in the silent pews, we hear all that’s not said
though stained like glass, our hearts lift up again

upon the broken road, my eyes are open wide
the hurt is undone, but i’m still tied to someone
i’m bound to light, bound to light

feel the cold, through the tattered threads
taste the tears, that we can’t soon forget
on the dripping wax, a soiled lilly blooms
the rusted signs, the memories we regret we lived

upon the broken road, my eyes are open wide
the hurt is undone, but i’m still tied to someone
i’m bound to light, bound to light

in the shadows of a mall in a far away land
they find solace in the temple mount when no one else can
bound to light, bound to light
up above us in the heavens where the hope has all gone
the footsteps of violence dance to the flashes of a gun
bound to light, bound to light
from the drowning in the well to the drought across the sea
the cardinals cower with the devil there behind the screen
bound to light, bound to light
for the boys on the ship swells the peace that never came
a wave creates a chasm and a fear we’ve never seen
bound to light, bound to light
in the knowing of subconscious where the autumn storm forms
is a candle and a flame for a person we all know
bound to light, spellbound, bound to light
spellbound, we’re all spellbound, spellbound
