Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

You Complete Me

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

Wow, this is the 5th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the conservative agenda, which at the time was more noticeably gaining momentum, to systematically whittle away and block the rights of those groups that did’t align with their values. The conservative agenda continues to gain strength, and it is up to the people to support each other in maintaining and advancing rights (including those of groups one is not a part of).    

It has been a great pleasure working with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou on these tracks. We are blessed by all the support the SoundCloud community has given to our releases. We can’t wait to share more music with you all. 

I haven't done a more straight up hip hop song in ages!

Lyrics:

Hit the streets likes it’s a brand new day
Pound the pavement for the payment 
Of knowing I slay
Say hey to all my homies around my way
Say hey to all the folks just trying to get paid
What up party people dying to get laid
Let you freak flag fly high up and away
Pray to allah Pray to Jesus 
Get all Polytheistic if it pleases
Go to college and write a thesis 
Couch surf around the globe and sleep on beaches 
Who needs meat when we got peaches
Who needs warfarin when we got leeches
Use yo magic to cure diseases 
Go help somebody with yo expertises 
Take a stand against injusticeses 
And don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Word
You know we still fighting 
To open minds to new perspectives
And hearts to other ways of being  And that’s for real
Yo

Who you got a problem with 
What you try to solve it with
Why you got that solid fist
When now’s the time to 
Listen go out and try something
Different see what chu mighta been 
Missin’ dismissin’ 
Omittin’ what wasn’t Fittin’
Your world view 
Let go of what you knew so
You can become a new you
Discover what’s now true 
To hold onto your values
And speak your truth and stay for real
While holdin’ space for others to feel
What they gonna feel and what they says their truth
But if it falls to pieces and their beliefs lead to more injusticeses 
Then don’t give a damn if no one agrees with

You 
won’t see eye to eye with
You
Isn’t able to fully accept 
You
doesn’t want to believe in
You
Be real to your-self and stay true

Yea
That right
This one goes out to all those leading the fight 
In the struggle on the day to day

Hoy que la noche es oscura,  /  Today that the night is dark,
(y estridente)  /  (and strident)

Budget's tight so I haven't been able to get studio time, but this is the demo I made at home for another Witches Junkies & Weirdos track I call They Don't Know!

They Don't  KNow (Demo)

Piano - Andy
Strings (vst)- Helen

Helen thought the repeating piano phrase reminded her of an old fashioned treadle weaving loom. So the track is a sort of homage to those who laboured at these devices to create fabric and clothing for the masses. The painting is "Weaver" by Vincent Van Gogh.

This is the story about a Blade of Grass....

Copyright Nat Daniels 2023

A Blade of Grass -  by Nat Daniels

There’s a blade of grass , stuck on my shoe
It weathered many storms 
And bathed in sunny hues
But it never saw the sun 
Like I saw it in your smile 
And it never saw a kiss so sweet
Like a gentle breeze 
‘till you moved your lips on mine ..   

Chorus:
It had lead a simple life 
‘Till I tracked it through your door
It was happy and content 
Now it’s torn in knowing more
For it never knew what people do
And that love can be so beautiful 
Like Yours and Mine 

2. 
So that Blade of grass boarded a train
And it crossed a sunny border in the pouring rain
It had traveled all the world
Seeing splendour in all things
But the little grass would trade it all 
To be there with you .. 
It would be her only wish.

Chorus:
Now it’s resting on a shelf, 
By those worn and travelled shoes
And it longs to glide on wings,
In a journey back to you
To relive the dream ..  
Of Me and You
On a starry hill that’s made for two 
.....  Made for Two

There’s a blade of grass, next to my shoe
And it knows a fairy tale 
Of a night so deep and blue 
If it only had one wish 
It would wish to be a star
And to lead me back into your arms 
And to smile on us from a far..

Blade of Grass

LYRICS:

Do you think you're ready for what I've got on my mind?
You think that you've got me but instead I think you'll find...

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Every time you speak it's like a razor up my spine
It's not worth pretending everything is good and fine
Maybe you'll cut into me the way I do to you
Love or hate me for everything that I ever do

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

Too bad for me
Too bad for you

All the noise I push away
Set the mark and struck the vein
And it's going to bring the pain
Cause I don't fucking need you

As night rolls over to day
Every word you have to say
Brings a smile onto my face
Cause I know I'm gonna hurt you

Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me
Never needed you anyway
You made the bed in which you lay
Now you're feeling dead and grey
Cause I didn't let you haunt me

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

I've been making music for around 15 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
