Afternoon Slumber

This is an original song that Durge started by creating a story about a musician going to an open mic night in the city to play some of his music. Nat took over the second part of the song by adding the girl musician and the chance convergence of the two musical souls. We co-crafted the final lines of the song to celebrate the lasting value of such chance meetings and events.

Lyrics:  Shooting Star by Daniels & Durgy 

The sun was just as bright as hell, and the air
Hung upon my shoulders
The city is a wishing well, and it’s where
Everything unfolded

The sidewalk was a frying pan, but it led
Further from the fire
With my guitar case in hand, and a head
Full of lost desire

Just a coffee house open mic, and you said
Your song just really hit me hard
Then we played and it felt just like, 
It was meant to be, just like a shootin’ star

A summer breeze that broke the spell of the heat
Sent newspapers flying
My heels tapped to the silent beat of a clock 
That fate began unwinding 

Tempting chance I kissed a coin, and felt, the aim .. into lover’s fountain
My pearls kept pace as I made haste to the gig, where it all unfolded ..

Dropped my guitar and stood there still as you sang, 
And felt your words like they were mine
Then we played and it felt so right
Like the gods themselves made our souls collide...

Ta da da da da da da...

Every day is a brighter day because you 
Gave your love and hope to me
Having you was a gift so wild
And you stay, in my perfect memory
Time can’t take us ‘cause you will be
Someone who remembers me

"Delia's making a list of every lie she's known
I ain't on it yet, I never will be I hope" 

Two ideas crashed together or this one -- it's rough.

Delia's Song (Don't Let Your Love Stray)

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocal & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Lyrics:

You tighten your grip that you have on me
Iam so scared
Baby , why can't you see
That you got me exactly where you want..
When you say you're leaving
I beg you Please baby, don't!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
with no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

You can take all my money
Spend it your way
You can take whatever you want
As long as you stay..
You don't have to love me
Or tell me that you do
You can do what the hell you want
As long as i have you!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me , baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

Somewhere over the Rainbow  (Cover)

Was this your final dance ?
Like a fool I did not know
Like a fool I let it go
Now as you turn to leave the floor
sing how you love it when it rocks
and how all you really need
is one more match in the box

Was this our final chance ?
Like a fool I did not know
Like a fool I let it go
Braving those cool December dawns
we dodged the Jackals and the Fuzz
Now to perform the next encore
Just one more itch, one more buzz

Pictures of a conversation
Some of love, some for frustration
Easy come, so easy go
Is this the showdown, the final blow
Music, so to save confusion
it’s rock’n’roll, there’s no illusion
Tell me what is on your mind
Tell me what is the bottom line
Please, tell me the bottom line

Like a fool I did not know
Though if I did I let it go
This was the final chance
Well now I am haunted, I agreed 
to watch you burning down the stocks
not thinking that there were indeed
only 9 matches in each box

I have these
pictures of a conversation
Some of love, some for frustration
Easy come, so easy go
Now is this the showdown, your final blow
Music, so to save confusion
it’s rock’n’roll, there’s no illusion
Tell me what is on your mind
Now please, tell me the bottom line

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.
