Deja Vu (a look at cover songs)

Your Mix 1

This is a collection of cover songs recorded by Daniels & Durgy or either Daniels or Durgy.

Uncovered

Like so many others out there, I'm a huge fan of Tom Waits for his songwriting and performances. And this song is one of his earlier beauties, simple and direct. Such a story teller, a scene painter and the master of the story within the story, the acceptance and resignation. The lover of pretty things in a shadowy world. I recorded this quick and dirty on my iPhone, no mic, just the basic song...because I love singling it.

I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You (Tom Waits cover) Live

Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Non bisogna vivere con la paura di soffrire ancora.  -Solo accettando il rischio si può davvero amare e vivere.  -Le delusioni non devono spegnere il desiderio di autenticità.  -Il coraggio di cercare emozioni vere dà senso alla vita.

Cerco rumore 

C'é il silenzio dentro il silenzio
Un miliardo o più di occasioni
Intenzioni che potrebbero andare
Se ora se dopo con tutti i miei se

la mia vita rapita dal vento
É alla ricerca di dolci emozioni 
E la rabbia che esplode nel petto
Prende a pugni le false e troppe illusioni

Perché io ho bisogno di stare
É una continua ricerca di me
In fondo in fondo ho bisogno di dare
Se ora se dopo con tutti i miei se

Io cerco rumore
Io cerco rumore di notte
Io cerco rumore
Lo cerco nel cuore mio

Nel mio io non sono un ribelle
Ho le frasi di senso compiuto
E mi fido di stimoli a pelle
Ma é come un prodotto comprato scaduto

Perché io ho bisogno di dare
É un bisogno che parla di te
In fondo in fondo ho bisogno di amare
Se ora se dopo con tutti i miei se

Io cerco rumore
Io cerco rumore di notte
Io cerco rumore
Lo cerco nel cuore mio

Io cerco rumore

“Losing Control” drifts through the storm of sorrow, where rain washes away the past and silence speaks louder than words. It's a soul unraveling—through pain, through numbness—until a glimmer of light breaks the dark. From losing oneself to finding hope in love again, the song is a slow burn of release, reflection, and rebirth.

Break The Matrix

Losing Control

Losing Control (2025 Remastered)

“This song is for all of us writers who sometimes lose inspiration.”

“ Questa canzone è per tutti noi scrittori che, a volte, perdiamo l’ispirazione”.

Emozioni
È strano, non ho niente da dire  
Il fiume di parole è fermo  
Come un lago che si specchia nel cielo  
Scorre solo la mia vita silenziosa

È strano, la mia penna è immobile  
Muta come una roccia in fondo al mare  
I miei pensieri volano liberi  
Ma non si posano su nessuna emozione

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, belle o brutte  
La vita apatica non fa per me  
Vorrei un carico di emozioni

Mi manca il vento che scompiglia i sogni  
Un temporale che scuota il mio cuore  
Mi manca il brivido di una notte insonne  
Un po’ di fuoco che scaldi le parole.

Resto qui, in questa calma apparente  
Aspettando che qualcosa mi sorprenda  
Che una scintilla accenda la mia mente  
 torni a danzare lenta.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire che non provare.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire qualcosa in fondo al cuore.

And For All The Above

I love you, you love me, we love us

I still feel like I'm at the center of the world
Your breath a sweet song
What I've always dreamed of being
Your lips always a nectar to drink

My life a train that runs too fast
Especially when I hear your voice
I would really like to slow down and use the rewind
To make this life last much much longer

I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
Tenderly, 
I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
A triumph of love 
I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
And it will be a love of light without shadows
And it will be a love always and forever

You were good at opening my armor
That kept the beauty of the world closed
To know me, understand me and love me
To make my sadness explode with joy

I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
Tenderly, 
I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
A triumph of love 

I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
And it will be a love of light without shadows
And it will be a love always and forever

Hope, understanding, the importance
Of knowing, learning love
It is part of the life of resilience
A lifesaver for those who try to live

I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
Tenderly, 
I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
A triumph of love 

I love you, 
you love me, 
we love us
And it will be a love of light without shadows
And it will be a love always and forever

I love you You love me We love us

One of the many unforgettable Motown classics, this recording is a cover of the 1965 hit by The Supremes. Once again I took a live, somewhat flawed iPhone recording and simply added more vocals to better capture the soulful beauty of the song (written by Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Brian Holland). I had conceived this interpretation of the song decades ago but this is the first time I recorded it.

Credit and my thanks go to Haracio30 (Pixabay) for the cover photo.

Stop In The Name Of Love

Stop in the Name of Love

My second time to try covering my favorite John Denver song.

Country Roads - Cover by Tony

                   

the song is metaphorical...not biographical 

Princess Margaret                                                                                    
The pageant begins, now court is in session
I bow to your Grace, that look on your face,
the serpent uncoils.
                                                                       
Its venom released, the cameras don’t see it.
No word out of place, alone in this space, how could we be royals?

Just as Princess Margaret tried 
to find a place to ride.                                                               Put out on parade, she could not be saved
Her dog days are through
She danced in the night
Then gave in to the fight  
So when you play the Queen
I'll be the Princess Margaret for you 

The royal blue, this tainted luxury. 
Just like the fear, I keep inside of me. 
We’ll keep our distance, just like the monarchy.                                                                      
When you play the Queen, I'll be the Princess Margaret for you

Here comes the Prince, you know the one ‘cross the ocean.
Changing his name, he found future and fame, then something to do.

And like the soon to be King, he’s been waiting forever.
It’s really too much, this brief human touch, he gives me and you.


Princess Margaret tried,
To find a place to hide.
The royal parade, she could not be saved,
Her dog days are through.
She danced in the night.
Then gave in to the fight.
So when you play the Queen, 
I'll be the Princess Margaret for you.

That jewel you crave, our crown of destiny.
These games we play, you’ve got to ride with me.
Wave to the crowds, cause they can't really see,
How you play the Queen and I play the Princess Margaret for you.
You play the Queen and I'll be the Princess Margaret for you. 




Princess Margaret

One of my earlier recordings trying to make my own interpretation of this great old Zombies tune from the 60's.

Shes Not There (Zombies cover)

Although not generally a big fan of the Bee Gees, I always connected with this song, even as a young teenager when it came out (1969). Melodramatics are typically hard to take seriously but I am a sucker for the ones done right. So I gave this a quick shot with a country flair and hope the Bee Gees fans will forgive me...

The Joke Was On Me (Bee Gees cover)

Ever wish you were somewhere else.  I know I'am not the only one who, at times,has to sit and listen while be chewed on.  Let your mind take you away.  John Prine- Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame.  He won his first Grammy in 1991 and at age 70 he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association.  His songs have been recorded by the likes of Johnny Cash, Bettte Midler, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait and many others.  His new album , The Tree of Forgiveness is receiving so much acclaim.  Love this man

The Other Side Of Town( Cover-- John Prine)

This is a cover of the 60's pop song written by Chip Taylor and made popular by Merrilee Rush. Our live performance here is a more gentle, quieter take on this beautiful love song. It's all acoustic and a simple, heartfelt interpretation of this old favorite.

Between You and I

Angel of the Morning

Angel of the Morning (Taylor) - Cover by Daniels & Durgy

Another live interpretation of an old classic love song, this one was originally written by Jimmy Duncan and first recorded by the Sonny Land Trio back in 1957. But this caught most of our attention from the Bobby Helms recording later that same year. I’ve also been a big fan of the version released in 1968 by The Vogues. This started as a live recording that Nat once again brought to full life with her beautiful accompanying vocals and instrumental nuances.

Deja Views

My Special Angel

My Special Angel (Cover)

This beautiful ballad was written by Michael Nesmith, probably best known as one of The Monkees, but remembered here as a solo artist. Sadly this was his only top 40 success though I feel he had other well written efforts. This is another one of our recordings that started with a raw live performance with some minor post-live enhancements.
Produced and Performed by Craig Durgy and Nat Daniels

Joanne

Joanne - Live (Cover)

Started with a few simple tracks - vocals, my Martin Acoustic, a little backing vocal, and some quiet harp texturing. Marc Elluse wrapped my tracks with his luscious guitar work and tweaked a mix that just blew my mind. I'm so very proud to be part of this project and cannot say enough about the creativity and skill Marc brought to make this a recognizable cover, but a totally unique one, as well. We didn't want a sub-par soundalike version of this Classic Rock masterpiece. MakaVox Sax (jazzy key synth) in the mix, as well. :D
