A beautiful melancholic meandering of the instruments

The city plays with lights...
You are far away my dear
Days pass by days
Where to find strength in me...

Я Не Можу Без Тебе/ I can't without you

Nat wrote this beautiful song about the complexities of marriage that can lead to unfair assumptions, where one spouse takes advantage of another based on the “wedding ring”. The words attempt to get through to the guilty party in hopes of easing the burden on her friend and revitalizing the marriage.

Lyrics:
Gun For Hire by Daniels & Durgy

It’s time to set aside 
All the shouting and the drama
To look inside yourself 
And release a little karma
‘Cause I heard the way you talked 
About a man I call my friend
And just because you’re married 
Don’t mean you own him ‘till the end

No, a ring and a contract 
Won’t keep a good man faithful
It‘s in the way you choose to treat him 
When you’re being mean and hateful
When you break down all his friends
And his ideas just cause you can 
Then expect him to love you with a fire, 
On command like he’s a gun... for hire

No a man needs some comfort 
And some words that understands him 
The hardships that he faces 
‘Cause he's the man to whom you're turning
He carries that with gladness 
For his woman and his kids
And he’ll treat you like an equal
If you do the same to him

So try to show some kindness
Without a reason or a motive
Allow him to have his dreams 
So he can come to you for purpose
And listen without judgement
Before sarcasm leaves your mind
As he is, don't change a single thing 
And he’ll be faithful without a wedding ring 

Oh love him with passionate fire
Not just.. like he’s a gun.. for hire

I was looking for inspiration for a new piece when a few notes with an impressionistic and jazzy accent came to me. It was then that I saw a connection with my previous piece entitled "Morning Light," which I wanted to continue the inspiration and exploration of. Hope you enjoy this sequel!
