My utmost thanks goes to my dear friend Dirk for lending me his Exquisite guitar skills and his voice on this song.
This song is about living out loud..  Don't waste time.. take the leap. 

Lyrics:

Wake to the Sound

Wake to the sound, Don’t drown it out..
Your voice will fade into the crowd.
live every day... you got a say!
It’s much too late, lying in your grave..

Oh, and so.. Everything lies
Sunk like a stone on the bedrock of time
We lose all our dreams
Torn at the seams, Say we’re fine, 
But it’s not what we mean…. Ohh…..

Oh Fly to the sun even if you burn, 
At least you lived at every turn 
Fight for love.. don’t let it go…
Its not too late to know for sure

Ooh... leap ...leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I
And when you’re lost, not sure where to go,
Leave sorrows behind you, come in from the cold
In rasping fire, leave behind all the pain, 
'till you find yourself again….

Ooh... Leap! Leap to sky, 
How can you win if you never try ?
So let's go where We can fly
Over the sea my love you and I.....

Written by the amazing Paul Waaktaar-Savoy

"sitting there smiling, she silently fell apart in front of the world, whilst  everyone was watching"...

It wasn't the rain that washed away...
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly
Almost slowly
Plain for all to see
Oh c'mon please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror shows *
A worn out soul, * 
I thought no one could break
It wasn't the rain
That made no difference
Nervously drumming on:Run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me
Preying on my mind
So, please now
Talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
For how can I stop now
Is there nothing I can do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I was thrilled when Andy and Gaz invited me along on this collaboration.  The Lyrics are beautifully written and sung by Gaz and lends itself to great story telling. It was lovely to join him and to bring my creative spirit in harmonisation to the table.  Andy wrote the beautiful melody and created the gorgeous Instrumental track (which has a hauntingly beautiful Guitar solo) and then brought it All to life with his incredible Production / Mixing skills, breathing life into the song,  and giving it a depth of sound to make it "sparkle".

Lyrics:
Our Devine intervention - Gary Brown and Andy Hall.

Standing on the bridge
Staring into the water
(I’ve kept you waiting
An hour and a quarter )
My Head tells me to leave
My hearts a little more naive
(We’ve had 27 days apart
To rekindle this flagging heart )

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V2
Finally you arrive in your own chaotic style
(So my car went and broke down
And i walk the last 3 miles)
I get the big puppy eyes
And a cute little sorry sigh
(What lies beneath in this rivers deep
Are the same things in the
secrets we keep)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V3
(Let’s stand back to back
Walk in a different direction)
If we just keep right on walking
Then we have lost all affection
(If we both look back and then we stop
We won’t lose what we’ve got)
Well I stopped and looked back
(I kept walking down the path)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To we’re I loved being yours
And you loved being mine
Our Devine intervention
At least we know now this time

Divine Intervention - Nat Daniels & The Conscience of Kings

My profound thanks to Jeff for this wonderful opportunity to collaborate. It truly was a labour of love, and it was also an Opportunity to take his amazing original song, put a girly spin on it, and create something with a more Cubano Spanish Rock Jazz feel to it, and to stretch my Piano Muscles! Jeff added his amazing Guitar and Bass skills, and a fusion was created! It's cheeky and light, even though the song is about parting ways!  We do hope it makes your toes tap and brings a smile to your souls. 
Thank you Jeff for the wonderful song and words.  It was my pleasure and honour. 
Please see Jeff's Page!  https://soundcloud.com/jeff_roberts?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
He's an immensely talented musician and writer, and it's well worth the trip!

The Goodbye Horizon:

Love has come undone
just an empty motel with a broken welcome sign 
so we're leaving now 
leaving this place where the ghosts of our passions abide

He walks without looking behind
I'm standing here losing my mind

We're leaving now for the goodbye horizon
a borderless freedom at the edge of mind's sight
still sheltering a tiny spark
there in the darkness that lies in the orphan heart

Solo - Piano, Nylon Guitar, and Electric guitar.

We are just tourists in the ruins of these memories
where every wall whispers the failure of our dreams
it always comes down to who owns this burden
better just to say, you and I are hurting today

the names of the streets haven't changed
but you and I will never be the same

We're leaving now for the goodbye horizon
a borderless freedom at the edge of mind's sight
still sheltering a tiny spark
there in the darkness that lies in the orphan heart
... a tiny spark that hides... 
and there in the darkness it lies in the orphaned... heart.

Lyrics: Butterfly Lips

We're like the pantomime villains
Everybody boo’s when we enter the room 
We’re just an imprint on your souls 
That you left like an unkept wilted rose
It feels like we have been dropped off 
After driving to the middle of nowhere 
So we will clear our desk find a box
Fill it right up and fuck right off

Chorus 
It’s been one of those days 
Now it’s one of those nights x2
And the one thing we’ll never resist
Is the taste of our butterfly lips x2

We are your coffee flavour
In our mixed up bag of revels
Maybe that’s the reason why everyone’s bitter and dishevelled
Our moral gymnastics has somersaulted through the roof again
We will clear our desk find a box
Fill it up and fuck right off

Chorus

Many people like to claim responsibility for their success
But we will find ourselves alone
For the failures and regrets 
So we keep it short and keep it sweet 
'Cause we’re listening through gritted teeth 
So we will clear our desk find a box fill it up and fuck right off!

Reason to Believe

Lyrics

 
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it easy to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you makes it hard to give
* And with it all the hope I felt 

Bridge - By Nat Daniels
Your words are sweet but your heart is cold
Behind your smile, I see your soul,
But Nothing I do is ever enough
You criticise and control and call it love.. 
... it isn't love...

If I listen long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe
Still, I look to find a reason to believe..

My profound thanks to Gaz and Andy for allowing me to tag along on their excellent track! What an aboslute pleasure to work with these two pro's.. !!!

Lyrics By Gaz Brownie:

You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tear dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher

This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything

To The Man Who's A Boy - Conscience Of Kings With Nat Daniels

Marry Me In Vegas

V1
I know I’ve been marry before
But that was a god damn chore
I want to do something different
Instead of feeling insignificant
It’s always been a dream of mine
So baby don’t decline
So I got down on one knee
And said you are the man for me

Chorus
Marry me in Vegas, It will be amazing
I will never look so pretty
Standing in the sin city
And my thoughts they wonder
To Elvis singing love me tender
That Beautiful velvet voice
Being trashed by a pub singer
Marry me in Vegas

V2
Now to be honest I didn’t wanna get married
But Vegas beats my local the horse & carriage
And she’s already brought all of the tickets
I’m British so it wouldn’t be cricket
How could I honestly say no
When it’s a place I’ve always
wanted to go

Chorus
Marry me in Vegas
It will be amazing ……
I will never look so pretty
Standing in sin city
And my thoughts they wonder
To Elvis singing love me tender
That Beautiful velvet voice
Being trashed by a pub singer
Marry me in Vegas

Guitar Solo - Mike Fox

V3
On the day of the flight Im a no show
I over slept and when on a go slow
She was waiting at the airport for me
So I rang her and made up a story 
She said : I’m telling ya this ain't gonna happen
You better get yourself here!
To marry me In Vegas
Am I making myself clear!

Outro
She shouts down the line …….
You better make make it on time ….
To…
Marry me in Vegas

Marry Me In Vegas - Fox, Brownie & Daniels

It's always difficult to find people we are collaboratively compatible with ..  a compatibility of Spirit shall we say...  but from the moment I heard Gaz sing with his intense, captivating voice, I was hooked, and with the amazing production & direction given by Andy, I knew I was home.  It's such an honor and thrill for me whenever they ask me to join them on a song, and their style, musicianship, and sheer talent is always so inspirational, and infectious. The song has amazing vocal moments, and I dare say our vocal blend, and the mix by Andy, is heaven to me. To say this has a been a sheer Joy and a Thrill, is an understatement!!!   Gentleman, my friends, I thank you once again for allowing me to be part of the Kings..   You are both incredible xx. 

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the Conscience of Kings..

Lyrics:
Stitch Your Name

V1
She said words can be beautiful but love is the real action
So stop talking now and show me that attraction
So I poured another glass of wine
I said tonight is the night then we combine
My God your so cheesy but being with you just makes easy

Chorus
If it’s on let’s think it
If it’s on let’s want it
If it’s on let’s do it
The tapestry of natures, embroidery
Stitch your name into my heart
The first letter is always the start

V2
I take that as compliment not treat it with contempt
Underneath the stars in a field in this tiny festival tent
Listening to the echoes of the weekend's event
Will stay with us forever and be always meant
And I don’t think I’ve ever this felt so content

Ive never attempted singing a Rock song, and I was very trepedatious hearing Billy sing the original Concept with his astounding voice.. so saying I felt intimidated was an understatement! but he convinced me to give it a go, and I found the lyrics so immersive, it certainly helped me find that bittersweet place I was meant to find. The instrumental track was played by Bruno De Amaral, who did an exquisite job!! That ending is owed to you!   We hope you enjoy this song..

Lyrics
See the faceless scurry, shine a light
Feel the deadmen's fury, too weak to fight
If you can change you'll find a home inside...
Frozen shadows for the desolate to mourn,
Chosen gods close their eyes trying to ignore!
Searching for a beacon, where's the house of light?
Is there any hope left in this endless night?

Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness

Verse
Fall into your dreams for the comfort that you crave
Remembering illusions of the love that you gave
You can close your eyes I won't forget...
One by one the ties that hold us are breaking 
All the things we've known and loved suddenly escaping 

Chorus
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American darkness

Bridge
Is the sun really gone? I thought I felt it die...
After you killed the dreamer because he tried to fly,
The idol spoke his words as all the believers wept, 
Then he vanished away with all the secrets he kept!

You can close your eyes... I won't forget..  You can close your eyes, I won't forget!

Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness!
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness!
I won't forget...

Lyrics:

We made this to be broken 
after every word, we’ve spoken
Now we feed every  line 
Trying to make it rhyme 

And now were somewhere in between 
Prose and poetry it seems 
We gotta let it go 
Our Prose and poetry 
you know …. (repeat)

The party is no longer fun 
wallflowers we’ve become 
What happened to our desire 
Our flame only  flickers on the fire 

We drop shade into our light
prose & poetry tonight 
The novel has come to the end
 the lyrics now condescend 
Shadows falls all over us
nothing left to discuss 
amplifier that bleeds out noise
Prose & poetry’s Destroyed

And now were somewhere in between 
Prose and poetry it seems 
We gotta let it go 
Our Prose and poetry 
you know …. (repeat)

Prose And Poetry - Conscience of Kings with Nat Daniels

This song was born from a fantastic Instrumental track Noobly composed, I added a melody and lyrics, and "Weightless in a Moment" was born..  The song is about two people finding that spark in a perfect moment. I cannot say what a thrill it is for me to work with Andy! He's such an intuitive and talented composer and producer, and He knows the perfect way to give a song that sparkle it needs! What an extraodinary artist in his own right! Listen out for those Beautiful synths and guitar work..   We hope you enjoy this song with us...  Nat & Andy xx

Lyrics:
Weightless in a Moment

(Verse)
Can't hide what I feel
Sitting next to you
Underneath this Hollywood sign
Looking out at a City view

(Verse)
You touch my hand 
Look into my eyes
I never thought I’d feel this way
Is it real or in my mind

(Chorus)
You lean in and your lips meet mine
in a slow and burning kiss
(Just falling deeper into this)
Falling into a moment hard to resist
(Each moment’s hard to resist)
Deeper into this sweet emotion 
Searching ’til we find
This weightless moment 
There's nowhere left to hide
When your heart tells you it's right
(You cannot hide when your heart tells you it’s right..)

(Verse)
The city lights 
Twinkle down below
And in this silent pulse between us, 
Something starts to grow
In the depth of the night, 
The love we feel unfolds
And here in that weightless moment,
Our tale was told

(Chorus)
You lean in and your lips meet mine
in a slow and burning kiss
(Just falling deeper into this…)
Falling into a moment hard to resist
(Each moment’s hard to resist)
Deeper into this sweet emotion 
Searching ’til we find
This weightless moment 
There's nowhere left to hide
When your heart tells you it's right
(You cannot hide when your heart tells you it’s right..)

For the one I love..

Lyrics
I’d still love you

(Verse1)
I may not always say it 
But darling you should know
Ive loved you from the moment
You smiled and said hello

(Verse 2) 
The way you walked towards me
So strong and yet so kind
And time seemed to slow down
As we left the world behind 

Oh Your smile could stop the wars
And make the world in love again
Your eyes says how you feel
A truthful heart that loves and mends

(Chorus)
I could search the whole world over
But there's no one quite like you
I could live a thousand lifetimes
But my heart would break in two
And no matter where I go
No matter what I do
I’d still love you..  
And only you...  
  
[Verse 3]
You’re like a star, one of a kind, 
A light no one can replace
In this vast endless world, 
I long for your embrace
 
(Verse 4)
Your laughter is a melody, 
A song stuck in my head
In my heart, there's only you, 
Weather I walk or lie in bed

(Chorus)
I could search the whole world over
But there's no one quite like you
I could live a thousand lifetimes
But my heart would break in two
And no matter where I go
No matter what I do
I’d still love you..  
And only you...  

I could search the whole world over
But there's no one quite like you
I could live a thousand lifetimes
But I’d Still love you…. Always you

I'd still love you

I'd Still Love You

This is a song with a bit of a "James Bond" Spy theme to it. It's a tale of two spies, and it plays from her perspective, about the burdens and fears he faces, and in finding his "song"... His purpose and courage.  Noobly sent me this truly inspiring instrumental track and it took my mind to a mysterious place! It is such a pleasure to work with him, as he is a brilliant composer and producer who always puts the right touches on everything, from the Guitar nuances through out the song, to the exquisite mixing to give the song that shine that brings the listener closer. It's a thrill to collaborate with him, and I hope you all enjoy this track as much as we did, making it.

Kiss The Night

[Intro]
Double 0…
Took my love before you had to go..
Took my gun and then you kissed me slow
Don’t let go..

[Verse]
Dancing in the shadows
Whispers in the night
I watch you walk towards me
With a jungle cat's delight

[Chorus]
Oh my love
Leave the gun beneath your pillow
Kiss the night and lose your sorrow
Time goes slow before the breaking of the dawn
You will find your song

[Verse]
It's a game I know we're playing
And someone has to lose
It's more than just your training
In these secrets we both choose
Creeping through the shadows
You aim and take and your time
One more life to kill then we say …Goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh my love
Leave the gun beneath your pillow
Kiss the night and lose your sorrow
Time will slow before the breaking of the dawn
You will find your song
Kiss the night
Save tomorrow for the break of light…
Until you find your song.

[Bridge]
Shadow me in flight
Raise your gun into the light
There’s no one left to tell
Raise the fires of hell…

[Chorus]
Oh my love
Leave the gun beneath your pillow
Kiss the night and lose your sorrows
You will find your song

Kiss the Night - Nat Daniels & Noobly

I hope you all enjoy the song..  Live unafraid and make each day count...
Love always.. Nat

Kings and Queens  - By Nat Daniels 

Dirty knees and torn up jeans
Running free through the fields
Chasing dreams lost in time
We were fearless, young and wild 

Oh those days seem to never end
The carelessness a summer lends
To simply be, who we dreamed we’d be 
An endlessness to time it seemed
 
Oh my friends we were Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound, 
Remember who you used to be,
Live unafraid and make each day count

I should’ve called you up sometime
But time was not a friend of mine
I got crows feet, and a deepened frown,
But my eyes still see a child unbound  

And I know it’s been so hard
To keep the bills and fears at bay
But my friend, you’re not alone
And tomorrow's gonna be a better day 

Oh my friends we were Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound 
Remember who you used to be
Live unafraid and make each day count

And when you’re low 
Just pick up the phone, 
And Remember the days with me..
The sun will shine, 
And you'll be fine..
As long as you Remember the days with me

Oh my friends! We’re still Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound,
Remembering how we used to be, 
Live unafraid and make each day count!

Kings and Queens

Makes Me Wanna Cry

(Verse)
All the things I see, should I be afraid 
It's never safe to love someone, what became of the plans I made
Just a tired cliche like thoughts and prayers
When a dignified silence is the only thing we ever shared

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Verse)
I hate where my thoughts go they take me to the pain
We always stayed in character even when we were to blame
Love and things that meant the world just vanished away
I found refuge in your heart but I couldn't stay

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Bridge)

Dead inside this echo chamber and it feels so much like home
Not a soul can touch me here but I don't believe I'm really all alone
The sun won't rise and the sun won't set but I'm nestled in this soft shade of grey
As the following sea surrounds me and slowly washes everything away

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

Makes Me Wanna Cry

Makes me wanna cry - Billy Goodman & Nat Daniels

Just a simple experimental Country Pop track combining Stratocastor, Fiddle, Church Organ and Acoustic Guitars, along with intricate harmonies. leaning towards some insane choral vocalisation, and a solid country melody..  
a Song about love,  and the need to cut loose and to live a little     .  Thank you for listening xx Nat

Lyrics:

Reaching out with both hands
I see you in my dreams
reliving every moment,
behind the silver screen

(Verse)
Touch me where the heart lies
Like the sun would never set
Take me to forever
Where our souls have always met
  
(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As I'm waiting through the Night
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you 
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

 (Verse)
Running fingers linger
Down the pearls of my spine
Bodies intertwining 
Like the sun,  moon and sky 

(Verse)
Kisses on my shoulder
Running breathless everywhere
And Im swept into this dream  
With no beginning or an end

(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As im waiting through the Night 
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

Lyrics:
Place a note in a bottle 
Take a chance and let it go
Will it make it to the mantle of your soul
Do a dance like gypsy 
‘Till the cinders hit the sky
And the winds blow this bottle to shore where you lie

(Chorus)
I will haunt your dreams until the morning light
Let the sun pull you from your sleep at night
Yet the dream will endure like a shadow fire 
And remain like a mirror in your mind..   

(Verse)
Blades of grass always shimmer in the blinding sun
Like a lover that is generous and kind
Lay me down in your summer 'till my winter is done
Be the one that can never leave my mind

(Chorus)
I will haunt your dreams until the morning light
Let the sun pull you from your sleep at night
Yet the dream will endure like a shadow fire 
And remain like a mirror in your mind..   
You will see me with your naked eyes

Shadow Fire - Nat Daniels

I was watching an episode of Cowboy Bebop and were inspired by the futuristic cities and their nightscapes.  a Part of me wanted to capture the feeling of looking for someone loved, and the undying need to never let them go until time itself would lie down and be still.  a Little part of that was for me too I guess..    Until we meet again she said..  Spike watched her walk away as the neon lights hummed like a restless dream he couldn't wake up from, and the sidewalk kept whispering her name, like an endless scream...

Until the world stops turning 

[Verse]
Neon hums like a restless dream
Sidewalk whispers in this endless scream
Your shadow fades into a blur
The city pulses like thunder

Every echo feels like you
Every corner hides a clue

[Chorus]
I’m tracing footsteps
Chasing time I see you
On every face that passes by
And I'll keep looking 
Until the world stops turning
Until we make it right 

[Verse 2]
This Wind hits hard
It cuts through my coat
Your name’s a song I barely wrote
Streets point each way but never say
Where to find the ghost of yesterday

Every skyline burns your name
Every heartbeat feels the same

[Chorus]
I’m tracing footsteps
Chasing time I see you
On every face that passes by
And I'll keep looking 
Until the world stops turning
Until we make it right

Until the world stops turning

Lyrics:

Welcome Stranger - By Nat Daniels 

(Verse 1)
The path was vague the night was cold
A waxing moon contained her thoughts
Shadows danced in the tall oak trees
Her breath kept calm trying not to flee

She saw a handle glinting bright
A mansion loomed in ghostly light

(Chorus)
"Welcome… Stranger" the keeper said!
Eyes like coals and hands of dread
The walls drew closer, the air stood still
A waking dream with a deadly chill

(Verse 2)
The candles flickered the halls grew long
The clocks chimed drunk the night felt wrong
Velvet curtains swayed like hands of death 
She heard her name in a whispered breath

The concierge had a cheshire grin,
She tried to run but her legs felt thin…

(Chorus)
"Welcome…Stranger" the keeper said!
Eyes like coals and hands of dread
The walls drew closer, the air stood still
A waking dream, she felt a chill

(Chorus)
"Join us… stranger” the keeper growled!
She stumbled backwards and screamed aloud!
The door swung open into the night, 
She ran as Howling dogs...  Bid her ... Goodnight
Bid her ... Goodnight!

Welcome Stranger

Welcome Sranger

Hey Folks... This is a new collaboration with the insanely talented Mr. Hall! Noobly created this intensely imaginative instrumental track that was just so inviting. He asked me to write lyrics to his inspiring track, and the rest is history. It is forever my pleasure and honor to work with such an enormously talented composer and producer! Thanks for the ride Andy... Here's to many more!

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I walked on sacred stones
to fulfil your dream
I never tried to run
I never dared to flee
I kept this feeling deep
so deep inside I couldn't sleep
And then It woke me up and
Something took a hold of me

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
and finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
The things I thought forbidden
Was not a sin at all
Because we're only human
And it's to want something more..
Is this my skin, is this my all?

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Verse 2)
A Vessel just on loan
A mask I've always worn
But underneath it All,
I feel the seeds I've sown
Is it too late to change
It’s time to let it fall

(Pre Chorus)
It's like I finally see you
And finally see myself

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange..

(Pre Chorus)
My skin's a silent witness
To stories never told
Lost and found within it
A soul that’s slowly growing old
On earth for just a moment
'til I'm truly home...

(Chorus)
And it's so strange...
It’s so strange…

It's So Strange

It's so Strange - Nat Daniels & Noobly

Durge Wrote a song Many Many years ago, called "What I'm Wanting for", but it was very experimental and quite pleasant though the lyrics werent fully composed.  I listened to it, and loved it so much, I decided to dust it off, write lyrics to the song and give it a new style and flavour.  So on his Birthday, I pay homage to my incredible partner in Musical Crime, and dedicate this recreated musical Art, to him!

What I Waited For
Lyrics: 
What I Waited For

[Verse 1]
I've known you for so long now
But every day is Still New
You are the kindest soul, 
And that's why I love you
I want to go on loving you
Till the world is through..

[Chorus]
When you reach for me
There’s something strong in me
And it’s there because of you…  

[Verse 2]
I've known you for so long
But every day is still new
You have a way about you,
That drew me right into you

[Chorus]
It's a crazy world
I’m just a small town girl
who wants to be
The only one for you.. 
The only one for you.. 
   
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I've known this for a while now….
But You’re what I waited for..
What I waited for       


What I waited for

Song about strength and finding strength in yourself by remembering who you are and where you come from.

Lyrics: 
ROEM IN MY HART -  Direct translation: (Roaming in my heart)
 
1.
En saans as die maan oor die vlaaktes ‘weeg,
(when the moon moves over the landscape at night)
Dan sien ek gesigte van verleed,
(I see visions and faces of the past)
En dan hoor die stem van voorouers wat sê,
(I hear the voices of ancestors say)
Doen jou beste en hou altyd moed.
(Do your best and keep faith alive)

En ek hoor nog die stem van my Pa,
(I still hear the voice of my father)
En die liefde van ‘n Ma wat my nooit sal verlaat,
(I still "hear" the love of my Mother ever present in me)
Die wysheid van my ouers,
(the wisdom of my parents)
Wat my lei op my pad,
(Leading me on my journey)
En God wat steeds roem in my Hart.
(and God who still roams in my heart)

 2.
En die wind hou haar styf teen die branders vas,
(The wind embraces the crashing waves) 
En ek dink hoe ons as kinders was..
( and I think on how we used to be as children)
Vol vertroue en drome wat niemand kon keer,
(full of dreams and confidence undeterred and determined)
Waars die kind? en wie’s nou in beheer?
(where is this child now? and who is in charge now?)

Dan onthou ek die stem van my Pa,
(then I recall the voice of my Father)
Behou die goeie in gedagtes, wees opreg in jou hart
(keep goodness in your thoughts when dealing with anything, and be righteous in your heart)
Mik nog vir die sterre en jy haal dalk die maan,
(Aim for the stars, and you might reach the moon)
Moet niks in jou pad ooit laat staan
(don't allow anything to stand in the way of your dreams)
 
3.
En hoor hoe die krieke in die velde nog sing,
(I hear the crickets singing in the fields)
En die vuurvlieg wat sy liggies nog bring,
(I see the fireflies sharing their little lights)
En die sout van die see wat nog sweef op die wind, 
( i smell the salt of the sea in the air)
En die dae met my broers as ‘n kind.
( I vividly recall the days I spent with my brothers as a child )

En Dan onthou ek wie ek is in my bloed,
(i'm reminded who I am and the blood that runs in my veins)
En die sterkte van voorouers wat vloei in my gemoed,
(and the strength of ancestors that abide in my soul)
Die kultuur van my mense wat hul nooit weg kan vat,
(the culture of my people, which they can never take away from me)
En die kind wat steeds roem in my hart.
(and the spirit of the child who still resides deep in my heart)
 
4.
En soos die jare in wysheid soos herfs begin,
(and as the Years turn to autumn, and brings wisdom)
En ek self in seisoene bevind,
(and I find myself in later seasons of my life)
Dank ek God vir my Engel wat my steeds vas hou,
(I thank God for the angel which still holds me)
En sy liefde wat my hart bewaar en behou,
(and His love that still protects me and keeps me grounded)

En ek’s dankbaar vir my vlees en my bloed,
(I'm thankful for my flesh and blood)
Vir die broers wat my lief het, vir wie ek sterf as ek moed,
(for my brothers who love me, for whom I'd give my life)
Vir hul liefde en hul wysheid wat my help as ek val,
(for their love and their wisdom that helps me up when I fall)
En die God wat steeds roem in my hart. 
(and God that still prevails in my heart)
Ja .. die kind wat steeds roem in my hart.
(yes the child that still roams (prevails) in my heart)

This is a Raw recording of this song which captures the emotion of the moment and I decided to leave it as is due to sentiment.   
The heart wants what it wants..  ☀️🌻
Three things remain: Hope, Faith and Love.. but the greatest of all.. is Love.     

Lyrics:

I know you’re tired love
You ache in your bones
You walk home alone..
But i’ll  be here when you walk through the door
In my arms you will be reborn

You question all things love
But love never fails
You ask how you got here
Yet the road we all take is the same
But I’ll walk by your side all the way

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time

Our heaven is here love
in each others arms
You’re mine and I’m yours love,  
every thought, every kiss, every moan,
rise again through the love we have known

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time
Oh Love never fails..  My Love
I’m two steps behind..
And when you are broken
I’m your Angel, I’ll heal you each time,
Love never fails … My Love.
Love never fails..

Love Never Fails

For Maïa...

I never released this song as it was written for my Daughter and private at the time..  She's much older now, but I hope this will serve as a lullaby for those who need it xx. Written with so much love for you my Maïa...  So much Love. 

Lyrics:

Maia my bee on her flying machine
Flying so high like a circus trapeze
Dashing and daring ‘bove clouds and ‘bove seas,
Braving the skies with the greatest of ease.

Riding her horse as she lasso’s the moon,
Scooping up stars as she’s singing  a tune,
Giddy up cowgirl, the suns’ rising soon,
Stardust a trail as you’re passing the moon! 

Round up the planets and sing to stars,
Sail on the ocean’s of Pluto and mars,
Taming the lions and tigers and bears, 
Brave new adventures that carry you there.

Brave like an Angel and kind like dove,
Dancing and singing and giving your love,
May your dreams always be wondrous and free
and know that you’re Loved, little Maia our bee.

Lyrics
Sittin' here tonight
By the fire light
It reminds me I already have
More than I should
I don't need fame
No one to call my name
At the end of the day, Lord I pray
I have a life that's good 

Two arms around me
Heaven to ground me
And a family that always calls me home
Four wheels to get there
Enough love to share
And a sweet, sweet, sweet song
At the end of the day
Lord I pray ... that I have a life that's good

Sometimes I'm hard on me
When dreams don't come easy
I wanna look back and say
I did all that I could

Yeah at the end of the day
Lord I pray....  that I have a life that's good

Two arms around me
Heaven to ground me
And a family that always calls me home
Four wheels to get there
Enough love to share
And a sweet, sweet, sweet song
At the end of the day
Lord I pray
I have a life that's good

Lyrics
The Dream plays On (You are my Sunshine Variation)

The Other night Love, when I lay Sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms
But when I woke I was mistaken
And in the Darkness, softly cried..

I’ll always love you, and make you Happy,
if you would only say the same,
But if you leave me, and love another
Your heart will ache for me someday..

Chorus:
For one sweet moment, You really loved me
and vowed no one could come between
but now you’ve left me, to love another
and in that moment broke all our dreams

And every dream since, repeats you leaving..
And when I wake the dream plays on…
And though I’m broken, just you can mend me..
if you’d only come back home.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey,
You’ll never know how much I love you..
so please don’t take my sunshine away… no please don’t
take my sunshine away…

I’ll always love you…

Lyrics:   Where Are You Now (I Surrender) 🌻☀️

Darling ain’t no use, to try and let you go..
Because your sweet touch lingers in my bones
You said all the right words to make me believe and in that surrender
You brought me to my knees…

Adept at discretion, you made it easy to dwell,
But like an assassin, you knew me too well..
And I let my guard down, went out on a ledge 
But where are you now? When all has been said…

I stare at that shimmer, that glides on the waves
I swear I can hear you calling my name
And there in that whisper of a slow midnight breeze
I surrender, but you’re not here with me…

I wasn’t used to love, and may at times seemed cold
But somehow you saved me from the dark in my soul..
But where are you now when I finally believe ?
Oh I surrender unto the dream…
Baby I surrender unto the dream.
