If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

Lyrics by Tony Harris & Glen Granthem
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem

In times of old the men would travel west
Searching for silver and gold with little sleep or rest
The lack of housing, It was back breaking work
Living underground digging in the dirt

(Chorus)
Searching for silver and gold
Few got rich in those days of old
Searching for silver and gold
To end up dead and buried in a hole

The lack of law and order The mini camps took lots of lives
From the East and the South They gambled with their life
In all the wrong places they searched for silver and gold
Covered wagons on horse back clipper ships strong and bold.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Repeat Chorus)

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool
Listen to their wisdom
And wear it like a jewel
A glittering jewel
The golden path of progress
Is sometimes much ado
Oh turn around, look backwards

And now this is me, I am he
And the time has come

Listen boy now did you think that
This was all new?
Nothing comes from nothing
Or appears out of the blue
The beautiful blue

And now mark the time, free the mind
And dig for the truth
Don't forget, no regret
They will forgive our youth

Listen boy now, there's a strange man
In the mirror
If you look close boy, the face
Is getting clearer
Now what do you fear?
And what do you hear?

I am you, that much is true
And the years have run
Break the chains, strengthen what remains
Yes the time has come

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool

Give me fresh coffee beans, and….. I’ll wake up feeling fine
Until I’m fed through The Daily Grind
It sure seems good while it’s churning away
But, I’m all ground up at the end of the day
Oh, I got a tune in my head that’s searching for words
Searching for something that’s never been heard
Pebbles in a quarry all mixed into a load
Smashed into gravel and used to build a road
(Chorus)
Change in my pocket and nothing but time
I’m working my way through The Daily Grind
Oooh.....Sometimes, I swear….that I’m losing my mind
‘Cuz, I’m so worn from The Grind
Oh, and I’m so worn from The Grind
Put some coffee on to start my day
Don’t want to work, just hang out and play
Sometimes, I swear that I’m losing my mind
Want more from life than The Daily Grind
Cuz’ I’m so tired of The Grind
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

How the road beneath my restless feet
Had a reason it brought me here
Often obscure and bittersweet"

Claude Ely wrote "Ain't No Grave" in 1934 while sick...decided to try covering it. 

Ain't No Grave - Cover by Tony Harris

New song recorded tonight.

Last night I opened up the window
as streetlight stood in for the moon
across your skin a summer breeze was filtered through the trees
announced by flickered candlelight

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

tonight I open up the window
as moonlight calls out for our dreams
across the sky I hear a voice from somewhere far away
hello and thank you for the day

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

Golden Moment

Lyrics:
I am the man they call Sue Monday
I used to ride in Tennessee
They finally caught me on a Sunday
Now they gonna crucify me

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

Caught me some red legs down in Georgia
Where they been burnin’ down the mills
They had our sisters in their saddles
And I got me four and twenty kills

Yeah they were dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

She must be wonderin’ where I am now
She must be lookin’ for me
But I’m locked up in Louisville, Kentucky
And they are never gonna set me free free free

I’m gonna be dancin’ 
On nothing at all

And I made it right
Yeah I made it right
And I made it right right right right

The Shield

i heard on the radio the other day that loneliness is the new epidemic.............peace and cheers for having a listen





                 Afterthought

well i don't really know what happened to us
but i could sure use a friend right now
cos all that we built is turning to dust
and there ain't no more how or why

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really wouldn't have a clue
i'm trying to appreciate, the little effort that you gone and made
but it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

so don't give it a second thought
it never mattered much before
and if there was a page for all the mistakes we made
i'd fill a book or four, a volume that's for sure

so please don't say that you know what i'm going through
it's plain to see that you really don't have a clue
i'm trying to understand, things were good and now they're bad
and it saddens me that you need to pretend, when you can clearly see
that i'm at the end of my rope
that's ok, i was just trying to say
i need a friend

Afterthought

Copyright Nat Daniels / GRR 2025
Just a simple experimental Country Pop track combining Stratocastor, Fiddle, Church Organ and Acoustic Guitars, along with intricate harmonies. leaning towards some insane choral vocalisation, and a solid country melody..  
a Song about love,  and the need to cut loose and to live a little     .  Thank you for listening xx Nat

Lyrics:

Reaching out with both hands
I see you in my dreams
reliving every moment,
behind the silver screen

(Verse)
Touch me where the heart lies
Like the sun would never set
Take me to forever
Where our souls have always met
  
(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As I'm waiting through the Night
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you 
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

 (Verse)
Running fingers linger
Down the pearls of my spine
Bodies intertwining 
Like the sun,  moon and sky 

(Verse)
Kisses on my shoulder
Running breathless everywhere
And Im swept into this dream  
With no beginning or an end

(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As im waiting through the Night 
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

What you wanna do

Chills (2025) Remastered

[Verse 1]
We were just two small-town hearts
Beating in the dark, parked beneath the pines
Radio low, windows down
That summer heat and your hand in mine
You laughed and leaned in close
Like the world was ours to own
And I swear that moment still glows

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Ain’t it strange how quiet feels so right?”
Then heaven spilled a thousand little lights…

[Chorus]
Stars fell on us tonight
Out where the world was quiet
You took my hand, and I swore right then
I’d never let go again
The sky lit up like firelight
And love wrote its name in the sky
Yeah, stars  fell   on  us  tonight.................

[Verse 2]
Now every time I lose my way
I just close my eyes and I see your face
Back on that road with nothing but time
And the future waiting in your smile
It was more than just a spark
We were flame in the dark
And baby, we still are.........

[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t explain how fate can feel so right
But I still feel it every single night

[Chorus]
Stars fell on us tonight
Out where the world was quiet
You took my hand, and I swore right then
I’d never let go again
The sky lit up like firelight
And love wrote its name in the sky
Yeah, stars   fell   on  us  tonight ................................

[Bridge]
Now we're older, got a front porch view
Kids asleep, and I’m still in love with you
Sometimes when the moon is high
I swear I see them falling through the sky...

[Final Chorus]
Stars   fall   on   us   tonight   ................
Just like that first July
You’re still the one who owns my soul
Still the hand I’ll always hold
The sky still burns like firelight
And I still thank God for that night
Yeah, stars   fell  on  us   tonight  .................
Stars    fell  on  us…  tonight  ................................

Stars fell on us tonight

A hold on me (Original)

STUCK IN MY HEAD by NOVA J

[Vers 1]
I didn’t know I’d be on a plane
When I woke up today
Don’t wanna go, wanna see you again
I wish you’d asked me to stay

But you told me to go
For reasons only you know
Now I’m flying solo
(Flying solo…)

[Pre Chorus]
And my flight is running late
Rain is falling at the gate
I thought you were my soulmate 

[Chorus]
And I keep replaying what you said
When we were laying in your bed
And now you’re stuck in my head
Stuck in my head 

[Hook]
(Stuck in my head)
Why’d you move on
(Stuck in my head)
like we never met?
(Stuck in my head)
And now you’re stuck
(Stuck in my head)
Stuck in my head 

[Instrumental]

[Vers 2]
You said I’m married to my career
And you feel like a mistress 
But you’re the one who disappeared
And now you’re keeping secrets 

What’s his name again?
You’re my best friend 
I don’t want us to end
(Not the end…)

[Pre Chorus]
And my hands begin to shake
Every drink’s a new mistake
I thought we had what it takes

[Chorus]
Because I keep replaying what you said
When you told me our love had to end
And you’re still stuck in my head
Stuck in my head 

[Hook]
(Stuck in my head)
Why’d you move on
(Stuck in my head)
like we never met?
(Stuck in my head)
And now you’re stuck
(Stuck in my head)
Stuck in my head 

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Now my flight is running late
Rain is falling at the gate
I thought you were my soulmate 
And my hands begin to shake
Every drink’s a new mistake
I thought we had what it takes

[Outro]
And now I keep replaying what you said
When we were laying in your bed
And you told me our love had to end
But you’re still stuck in my head
(Stuck in my head)
Why’d you move on
(Stuck in my head)
like we never met?
(Stuck in my head)
And now you’re stuck
(Stuck in my head)
Stuck in my head 
(Stuck in my head)
Why’d you move on
(Stuck in my head)
like we never met?
(Stuck in my head)
And now you’re stuck
(Stuck in my head)
Stuck in my head 
(Stuck in my head)
Why’d you move on
(Stuck in my head)
like we never met?
(Stuck in my head)
And now you’re stuck
(Stuck in my head)
Stuck in my head

Stuck in my head

What was that man dreaming of, the one who played the saxophone the other night? When he finally wakes up, we’ll ask him – though it’s unlikely he’ll ever reply. And if by any chance he were willing to answer, he might say: "Nothing that I can remember, because nothing ever happens in my dreams."

This is the second in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

lyrics
Kids caught between magic and real life
Just drifting no where to go
Kids love magic
Just drifting no where to go
Kids love magic

It’s same for adults 
I know 
No matter what you look like 
You are angel

Kids caught between magic and real life
Just drifting no where to go
Kids love magic
Just drifting no where to go
Kids love magic

Kids caught between magic and real life
Just drifting no where to go
Kids love magic
It’s same for adults 
I know 
No matter what you look like 
You are angel
子どもたちは夢と生活の間で途方に暮れている
子どもたちは魔法が好きなだけなんだ
どうしていいかわからないんだ
子どもたちは魔法が好きなだけなんだ
大人たちも同じさ
ほんとうはわかっているよ
あなたは天使だって
どんなふうに見えたとしたって
あなたは天使なんだ

Something About the Nighttime ©  - ROCK Version
Riff Beach Original
RiffWerx - 2017
There’s Something about the Nighttime
Something ‘bout The Night
Sometimes it just seems like The Right Time
It just feels so Right
Don’t lose your grip on The Day
Don’t lose your Inner Light
And, Don’t Let it Get Away
Keep it Shining Bright
(Chorus)
There’s Something about The Nighttime
There’s Something about The Night
Sometimes, it just seems (feels) like The Right Time
It just feels so Right
(Just feels so Right)
Bridge (Slow Transition - Key Change)
Passing Slowly
Passing Fast
Grab on Tightly
Before……The Future’s Past
(Last Verse)
In those Morning Hours of Reflective Thought
As the Sun rises slowly in The East
Well, those times, they just can’t be Bought
In which Wonders never seem to Cease
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

Mr. Bojangles was the nick name used by Bill Robinson, a black tap dancer who appeared in many movies in the 1930's.  After his success, many black street dancers became known as Bojangles.  The song was originally written by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1968.  I tried a little sit down feet shuffle at the end.

Mr. Bojangles (cover)

Working on some blues tracks for the new CD. I'm not sure if this effort will make the cut but I learned a lot while writing my supporting tracks and  mixing my keyboard work.. I tried also to keep my bass part in sync with the Bass drum.. key for lots of punch.
