Better Days

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

*Update - thanks for the condolences you guys.  it's very appreciated.   much love


I've been away a few weeks. My sainted mother passed unexpectedly over the winter break and in her final notes she'd requested that I play this song at her memorial.  
There's really no way I could've made it through to the end of the service playing live, so I recorded this arrangement and it was played during the memorial.   

I snagged the isolated vocal track from the original recording and then added the sitar, keys, bass and 7 or 8 guitar tracks, mix, production etc..

It turned out ok I think.  This is not a cover I'd typically do, but seeing how it was the most special of requests, I was honored to do it.  I'm looking forward to getting back into things - listening and writing etc...  Hope you can enjoy this Beatles cover

In My Life - The Beatles Cover

when the solstice come and the season change
under charcoal sky
broad the landscape, dull and barren
swift like the crow would fly
I will meet you here in this quiet place
when you feel alone
down the hallway, in the kitchen
of a blessed home

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your skin
shed the grief you’re tangled in

frames and pictures on the shelves
with all the books we’ve read
woolen blankets, smooth the covers flat
when we make our beds
sit up talking in the evening, late
and our faces smile
tired of walking, would it be alright
if I stayed a while?

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your face
fire in the fire place

shiver from the northern winds
someone turn the shutters in
warm light falls upon your skin
shed the grief you’re tangled in

Northern Winds

This was a straight forward melody I wrote some years back which I’ve never wrapped up until I came across the famous poem “The Road Not Taken” few years ago.  I found that with very minor changes, the poem fit perfectly into my melody.  So the result is this song here which I now call it “Two Roads”.
Let me know what you think & thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Two roads diverged in a wood
Sorry I could not travel both
Be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Took the other just as fair
It was grassy and wanted wear
Had worn them about the same
And having perhaps the better claim


(Chorus)
And both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should (ever) come back


I'll be telling this with a sigh
Two roads diverged in a wood and I
Took the one less traveled by
And guess that has made all the differences

Instrumental

Repeat Chorus

Both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should ever come back

Knowing how way leads on to way

Text:
Where is their mind
With the Feet on the air and their head in the Clouds
They try this Little Trick and Spin it
Your head collapses
As you can‘t understand 

Where is their mind

Way down in the Land
You See them marching …See them marching

With the Feet on the ground and fear in their eyes
They don’t Understand his Little Trick
The Heads burst
As the bullets Hit them
Way down on the meadows in the spring

God! Where is their mind
Where is their mind

With the Feet in the dust and the Head on the ground 
A Last  breath whispers „Hunger“
The dictator tries this Little Trick
Down there 
In the east
In his Palast 

Way down in the Land you See Millions suffer

Where is his mind? Where is your mind?
Hey, Where is your mind?!

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this little trick and spin it
Your head will collapse
But there is nothing in it

Where Is their Mind - Adaption of Pixies' "Where is my mind" by Gebr.K
