This piece represents a sonic journey of introspection and renewal, inspired by moments of burnout and the desperate need for respite.

Close your eyes and let the music carry you away. 

Experience the gentle sway of the tide, the warmth of the sun on your skin, and the whispers of the sea breeze. Dive into a world where reality blurs with hallucinations, where the boundary between dreams and waking life dissolves

"Oceanic Fever" is a reminder to pause, to breathe, and to find beauty in moments of stillness.

Oceanic Fever

Croque

A somewhat eclectic folksy tune that demonstrates a man's frustration with a partner that just doesn't communicate. A little mandolin, guitar, harmonica, mouth harp... a bit of fun.This is another rejuvenation job by Nat Daniels/Gentle Rain Records to improve upon my original recording. Thanks to Nat for her intuitive and compassionate assistance!

Lyrics:
Left Unsaid by Craig Durgy

On the phone with Cousin Linda, she got you to laugh so hard
Caught you talkin’ to the window, watching squirrels play in the yard
You said something to the mirror, as you put your makeup on
Then you stopped as I got nearer, you and the grocery list were gone
You make comments to the TV, but you never talk to me

Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration
Before we leave this thing for dead

Guess you kinda like your pillow, ‘cause you’ve been talking in your sleep
Sometimes you’re weepin’ like a willow, while I just lie there countin’ sheep
Heard you speaking to the fire, something ‘bout how love’s a joke
But you’re just preachin’ to the choir, through the chimney, up in smoke
I hear nothins and they ain’t sweet, but you never talk to me

Tell me how you feel, think we need some conversation
Tell me how you feel, seems like something’s been unsaid
Tell me how you feel, need to check our respiration, desperation darling
Before we leave this thing for dead
Left unsaid…Left unsaid…Left unsaid

Left Unsaid

Hello dear Listeners,

This is the 'Radio Edit' of an improvised piece almost twice the length.

It's truly a beauty, and one of the peak experiences guitarist Tim Elliot and I have had together as Shekinah Fire.

I'm playing my ES7 Stage Keyboard and he's on his Attila Custom electric Guitar... 

May you enJoy !

The Waltz (our Memories)

David D has been doing some legacy production for a close friend. David envisioned this head-to-toe tattooed woman as a feature in a traveling circus or carnival, but in her private life and dreams wanting to be a younger normal person, not an object of scorn or bewilderment. 

He asked me if I had any ideas about incorporating some of Clara's lovely voice. And since the song is a very fun idea and deviates from the norms through this crushing mix of genres, of course I wanted to do what I could.
Hope you get a surprising and pleasant listen. ;)

Pipe Dreams All the Way Down is about the nature of reality (or realities?). It tries to capture the dizzying thought that reality might consist of endless layers of illusions, each one nested within another like an infinite set of matryoshki.
