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 thought I'd give it a try and write something smooth and relaxing. Very different to what I would normally do. Hope you enjoy it, and of course share and repost.

Mindful Serenade

Reflection

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

Soul of the Souk - Windtronix (Windscale Blues Experiment & Gary Rees)

Bleaklow: a windswept gritstone plateau in the Dark Peak area of Derbyshire. In amongst the stark features of this wilderness are peat bogs, heather moorland, the sad site of a B29 plane wreck and The Wain Stones. Two of these boulders form the amazing 'Kissing Stones' - an inspiring sight for those who venture up there.

Bleaklow Blues (The Kissing Stones)

Hello, this track is acid, funky, electronic and the groove comes straight from the inside out, a lot of analog and modern sonic colors on board!
I wish you much fun while listening!
Cheers

A mi padre (For my dad) HD Version 

Created in January 2021 and published in February 2021.

Life sometimes gives us a second chance. My father had it 45 years ago when he survived a serious accident when he was going to work. Contrary to medical opinions, he was able to walk again, have two more children, travel, and watch his family grow during all that time.

He survived cancer ten years ago and no longer able to move as before, he took refuge in learning everything he could think of: he learned computer science, journalism classes and English language.

From him I learned many things ... effort, honesty, passion to learn ... love for music.

Before all that and getting married, between the fifties and sixties he was working in the south of Germany, where he soon learned the language with a Bavarian accent, which caused him some problems in the north of the country, where he was after a few years as well.

When he came from there he brought a typewriter (He loved writing for some years), a radio, a record player and a tape recorder, where he listened to his favorite music. And that was what he listened to when I was a kid.

My father passed away a few days ago, and it's been hard times for me. 

This little tribute is for him.

Covert Art. Composition of photos of his youth in Germany of my father and his wedding with my mother.

Para Mi Padre

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
