this is exactly the time of year to listen to this one.... damn...

Sounds really good Jonathan. Really nice composition and voice!

I hadn't realised that this was out there... My lost but I'm catching up now. This feels like a real accomplishment, so delicate and organic, like it has always been around. Thanks to everyone involved for sharing.

You guys have great chemistry. Another gem..

wonderful guitar playing, smooth vocs - right up my street

Durge sent me this beautiful Acoustic version and we decided to leave this live version intact as an Alternative to the Studio version...  It has Durge singing the lead and myself as the harmony,  just to switch it up, and it was a lot of fun to make it ..  We hope you enjoy this version as much as our recent studio version of this song..     (https://soundcloud.com/danielsdurgy/i-could-fall-9a-eq)   
Love, Nat & Durge. 

Lyrics:
Like a shadow that creeps up on you
Or a bend in the road surprising you
As you walked towards me 
Your smile met mine
and I knew that I could fall

I could I hear my heart beat loud and clear
as the souls in the room all disappeared
and the veil was torn from my childhood eyes
Like a hole I’d fallen through.. 
at the end was you

Oh I.. I could fall… God I think I’m already there
Is it real? Or is it me? 
a fool that never learnt not to care..
but I know what I know
and I feel it in my soul
in a world of constant cynics..
Be the least of all my critics..

Can you stop the waves from crashing down?
Change the flow of the winds, or break the storms?
It’s the same when you find the one you’re meant to love
You leap… you fall… You fall…

Oh I.. I could fall.. 
God I know I'm already there..
‘Cause I’ve given in… 
without a fight to a velvet stare
Oh darling I am yours!
Won’t you tell me you're mine..?
'Cause I.. I could fall
Oh I, I could fall
Oh I could fall for you.

I could fall for you.. You Know…
I could fall.

I Could Fall (Live)

I Could Fall (LIVE)

Half a Pack of Marlboro Lights and a Busted Chandelier

Not the best of days today, 
Bailiff breaking down my door.
Ain’t got no bread to pay
What he was asking for.
Stole my only chair away
It’s why I’m sittin' on the floor.
With all I got to see me right, this statement of arrears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Maybe time to hit the road
In my baby Buick Six.
Transmission fell out months ago
Standing up on bricks.
Seems every turn I’m knocked down low
By the devil’s dirty tricks.
Now all I got to see me right is a box of shredded gears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Chicken shack exploded
Feathers coming down for days
My moonshine still was overloaded
Time to mend my ways
Guess I always knowed it,
Life with the demon never pays
Now, all I got to get me through the night is an empty can of beer,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

Never meant to shoot my hound,
I was aiming for the wife.
Seems I’m not the hottest shot in town.
Ain’t that the story of my life.
If there’s any bad luck kickin’ ‘round
It’ll head my way tonight.
Hell, all I got to see me right is a pocketful of tears,
Half a pack of Marlboro Lights and a busted chandelier.

lyrics:-
Now what you gonna do
With all that freedom
And who're you gonna 
Turn to now
And when it's all revealed
What's the solution
Can anybody tell me how

In 2021
This shall all be done
The prophets and the gurus
Say that we will see the sun
In 2021
Wake up everyone
It's power to the people
And the war is almost won

It's not time to dig your grave
Refuse the distraction
Get up start making waves
Move into action
For all we have is now
Time's an illusion
Get ready to take flight
And just allow

In 2021
This shall all be done
The prophets and the gurus
Say that we will see the sun
In 2021
Wake up everyone
It's power to the people
And the war is almost won

See you same time tomorrow
Goodbye Kelly goodbye Sister J
Oh yes you hide your sorrow well but
No need to tell these kids that god does not appear to care

Oh if he's even there
 
Walked down to old St Martin it's
Dusk already there's cold December rain
In the Piccadilly lights
This place has seen the lost and found for
Seven hundred years
And so they come and pray
Or just to stay out of the rain
 
Oh were there words enough and time I would
Explain the world away and
If life's just a story (maybe) we can change the ending if we try
And though the past's been priced and sold
Tomorrows yet untold
 
Strayed into being happy
Fields of barley framed our stupid bliss
But it was all reflected lights
I never learned how to be kind until I lost someone I loved
But I'm not here to pray
Just trying to stay out of the rain
 
[Repeat chorus]
 
And the words become a song
And the child becomes a man

NEON IN HIS BLOOD (The loneliest boy I ever saw)

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride
If turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side
If "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans
There'd be no work for tinkers’ hands

Neon in his blood

Neon in his blood

The land rolls up and the land rolls down
If Mummy didn't cut the fat off Daddy would eat it
Sometimes the rocks stick out 
But mostly they don’t
The worst part about being old 
Is remembering when you were young 
And we look at the stars 
And we still don’t know what they mean
Except she’s gone so I eat what I like
Pick the goosegrass buttons 
Off the loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

The loneliest boy I ever saw

With neon in his blood
Neon in his blood
Neon in his blood

Neon in his Blood

Neon In His Blood

You're invited to join Shade Structure on a late night walk. Half awake/Half asleep.

Lyrics:
Sleepwalking
In the city at night
Past the dive bars
And the neon buzz

I rarely take my heart out anymore
Sitting here
In my electric chair
Of my own design
Felling fine
Just passing time
Sleepwalking in the city at night
I hope that after my crash
They find my
Black box flight recorder
Of my dreams
So we can retrace
The themes
Of my demise
This could be my last song?
Hey friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong!

I've got the devil on the payroll
Walking around with half a soul
Selling what's left for parts
That's a good start
Walking past the dive bars
It's not a term of art
In the city at night
Sleepwalking in the city at night
Breathing rarefied air

I've got the devil on the payroll
We could light a fire
We could just stand back
And watch it burn
At nighttime no one is really your friend
Working with a halfway, sideways sense of zen
Sleepwalking in the city at night

Walking past the dive bars
24 hour  convenience store
Dodging the busses
Goddamn Uber
The homeless in the street
$12.99
Indian food
All you can eat
Sleepwalking
Friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong
Sleepwalking

Sleepwalking

A little song to celebrate all of you (and those to come) who have followed my musical musings; over a thousand now.  Thank you and God bless you.  Benediction is from the Latin meaning "blessing".   A celebrated blessing said daily around the world I now say to you: "May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.  May the Lord lift his countenance upon you and give you peace".  I am so honored to have Pascal Basso and MoiRa collaborate on this tune giving it a Celtic symphonic splendor:  soundcloud.com/pascal-basso/benediction-v2

Benediction

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.

I have been passionately creating music for a considerable amount of time. My vibe is mainly Rap, Rock and Pop. My purpose in writing music goes beyond mere entertainment. I am driven to compose songs that serve as a source of encouragement, inspiration, and upliftment, carrying a message of hope deeply rooted in the truth that Jesus died for the sins of man. Through my music, I strive to share my personal journey and experiences, revealing how Jesus is an integral part of my life and the creative process.
