MELODY FOR MAX

No More Tears was one of my favourite songs I have ever worked on as I wanted it to be more intense and different. I started working on it after the release of Live It Up With You, when I came up with the idea to make a Drum & Bass

This song was written with all my emotions of feeling sad and happy at the same time, plus it was made with a burst of sugar, spice and all things nice.

Enjoy, and thank you all for listening!

No More Tears

I wrote this song as a tribute to love that endures beyond this world as we know it. My best friend lost his battle with cancer several years ago, but as I often think of him I have envisioned his parting moments with his dear wife by his side. This is just my thoughts on it, I won’t pretend to represent the actual intimacies that would possibly have transpired, but I do have a good idea of how much they cared for each other, and still do.

Lyrics:   Summer Rain by Craig Durgy

Time slowed down to greet me, to carry out my light
You caressed me sweetly, always there right by my side

And as my eyes conceded, that leaving you I must
Despite your tears that pleaded, I just rose out into dust

I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Yes, I became an angel, the moment that we kissed
Through all the years of loving you
That brought me here like this

Now the dust has settled, life and love go on
Raindrops on a petal, and you know that I’m not gone

In this life we’re flowers, but it’s only life’s cocoon
As fresh as summer showers, forever love can bloom

And, I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Summer Rain

This is a remaster of a song I wrote and recorded about 10 years ago.
I had a discussion(argument) with my teenage daughter and, when I reflected on it, I realised that the things we said replicated similar discussions with my parents when I was a teenager. The song is from my daughter's (and my younger self's) perspective. She loved Green Day so I wrote it in that style and even borrowed her Mike Dirnt bass to play it.
She said " Yeah, that's alright dad"

I Might Change My Mind

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

I know what I want
And I know that you just don't
So leave me alone to live my own life

Don't waste my time
I don't want your nursery rhymes
You can't help me so why not leave it

Don't give me your shit
I don't need it, not one bit
You think you know things that I don't

Its useless to me now
Because you're stupid anyhow
I'll make my own mistakes in my life

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

If you're reading this thanks for listening to my song (you rock!), here is what it's about :)
The first verse references the counting of Abraham as the founding Patriarch of the three major monotheist religions.
The chorus is a comment on religious persecution and intolerance.
The second verse references Hinduism, bliss and paradise.
A short reflection on the inevitable 
Solo and musical bridge interlude
Third verse references the similarities of religions. 
And the last verse list different names for heaven and faith based greetings 

Lyrics
From the olden days of Abraham
To the stars of the silver screen
The faithful come to share their tale
Of the way to Eternity

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 		

Older still, a another land  
A different way is found
To reach the bliss of paradise
where deities abound
 
And oh
I long
To see
What 
Will be

The way to heaven
Which way to heaven

Solo
Instrumental bridge

Rituals and temples
Worship and prayer
The commonality laid bare 
For anyone that cares 

And the whip does lash
Upon the backs 
Of those that disagree
And dare to ask
Which way to heaven 

And oh
I long
To see
What
Will be

Kingdom come
Araboth
Swarga
Jannah 
Shalom
Assalamu alaikum
namaste
peace 
be 
with you

The Art of Faking Your Own Life and Suddenly Appearing

Souls are hungry for a different future. Souls need a substance that no one has yet explored. Souls need sentences that no one has said yet.

I would like to thank Fiona Greasley (aka Electrometis). Her song in collaboration with Brian Butt's "Raindrops" made me compose this...

Now one or the other may say or ask: "Huh, what do these two songs have in common?" Maybe not much, possibly. But it still inspired me, that's all 😆

Comforter Of Souls

Gandil Parade

This is a song about missing someone and how utterly useless it is to have a phone conversation with that someone, when what you want more than anything is to be next to them.
