All instruments, vocals, production by Riff Beach.
On The Road To Find Out - Yusuf Cat Stevens
Well, I left my happy home, to see what I could find out
I left my Folk and Friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there
And many stories told me on the way to get there 
(Chorus)
So, on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out 
So, much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (throughout)
But in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song, saying not to worry
(Chorus…..and then instrumental)
Well I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me
Well sometimes you have to moan, when nothing seems to suit ya’
But nevertheless you know, you're locked towards the future
And I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin…..Pickup, pickup a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup the good book now
(Slower) Yes the an-swer lies with-in, so why not take a look now
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup The Good Book now

On The Road to Find Out

On The Road To Find Out - Version

La nostra versione bilingue (italiano e inglese) di questo famosissimo brano.

A man without love (Quando m'innamoro) - Engelbert Humperdinck [live]

The Best Of Marie Osmond

Paper Roses (Re-Recorded In Stereo)

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

North Star

This is an original country song that speaks to those that are far from their loved one, unable to be with them but imagining if only...they could be together. Longing for the time when they can be with each other once again.

We are very happy to once again have the wonderful pedal steel talents of Dakota Holden contribute so beautifully to this track.

Lyrics: "If You Were Here" by Daniels & Durgy

The sun came up, despite the clouds, It was enough, despite the doubts 
To thank the Lord, for one more day, To feel the freedom come my way

And wonder where you are and how, You’re doing at this moment now
To let my heart let go of fear, Imagining if you were here

If you were here, If you were here
All these dreams that we both have would become real,
I would hold onto forever, stop the hands of time together
Kiss you gently as the world disappears…If you, if you were here..

The smile on which, I so rely, A warmth so rich, I can’t deny
The touch that penetrates my soul, How much the distance takes its toll

But I take comfort in the past, That memories are not the last
That time will only make more clear, Just what would be if you were here

(chorus)

If you were here could I contain, The need for you, like sun and rain
Like wind that parts the maple leaves, As waves breathe life into the seas

If you were here there is no doubt, I’d lay a finger on your mouth
And show you as I held you near, What I would do if you were here 

I loved you then, I love you still, There is a void no one can fill, 
The only one, is always you, And no else will ever do.  
It's always been you, always will, Be you and me, forever till
The sun & stars do not appear, To light up like, if you were here

(chorus)

If You Were Here

I Don't Wannabe (Your 51st State) - Dance Version

Mr. President, a moment if you please
Let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my country, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe, your 51st state, no

Friends like us gotta find a way
To make things right for the USA
Friends and family across the border
It's elbows up when we get in the corner
Where we live is happy home
Reaching for something that ain't your own
We understand you want to grow
Our advice, just leave it alone

Mr. President, a moment if you please
We used to be like brothers now you're coming after me
Mm-hmm we fought together, died together too
And I can't believe this nightmare is all because of you
So let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my country, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no

C'mon, I don't wannabe
Never wannabe
I really don't wanna be
I like you very much but I don't wanna be your 51st state

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no

I Don't Wannabe (Your 51st State) [Dance]

"Preghiera atea" è una canzone che esplora la ricerca di significato e identità in un mondo disorientante. Attraverso immagini evocative, l'autore esprime il senso di smarrimento e vulnerabilità, affrontando le sfide della vita. Nonostante il tono malinconico, emerge un messaggio di speranza e resilienza, invitando a continuare a cercare la propria strada e a trovare bellezza anche nei momenti difficili.

Preghiera atea
 
In un terreno che non è mio mi sono perso,   
con il mio senso di orientamento insicuro e falso.  
Tra le brevi pause di colori di un semaforo,  
mi sono ritrovato in un dialogo distratto.

Senza sapere, senza dare, senza avere,  
Forse ho cent’anni o forse molti di  più,  
E so che sopra una nuvola che copre il sole,  
c’è sempre un cielo azzurro sopra di noi.
  
Una preghiera atea per sperare,  
come un brivido mandato dal destino.  
Sperare in un futuro non posso,  
solo il suono sordo del mio passo,  
E mangiandone solo un piccolo pezzo,  
in questo viaggio la vita non sembra abbia inizio.

Come un mastino che difende il suo osso,  
la vita è un esame, ti mette alla prova.  
Anche senza rima o come una prosa,  
con frasi buttate lì al vento
Senza cercare risposte 
in un mondo che pur si muove.

Senza sapere, senza dare, senza avere,  
Forse ho cent’anni o forse molti di più,  
E so che sopra una nuvola che copre il sole,  
Forse è rimasta  una briciola di speranza.

Una preghiera atea per sperare,  
come un rito premonitore.  
conto le scale e lentamente a salire,  
Come sempre fanno fatica i miei passi,  
come se avessi in tasca mille sassi,  
In questo viaggio sembra  non ha un inizio.

E mentre cammino, cerco un senso,  
tra le ombre e la luce, un equilibrio immenso.  
Ogni passo un segreto, ogni sguardo un motivo,  
in questo terreno che non è mio, 
……ma è vivo!

In un terreno che non è mio mi sono perso,  
ma nel silenzio trovo la mia voce e la mia pace,
anche senza rima, come una prosa,  
continuo a camminare, cercando la mia rosa!

Preghiera atea

In un mondo segnato da sofferenza e incertezze, la ricerca di risposte diventa un viaggio solitario. "Ho perso la fede" è una canzone che esplora il profondo smarrimento di fronte alla perdita, alla solitudine e alla mancanza di aiuto divino. Attraverso versi intensi e riflessivi, l'autore si interroga sull'assenza di una guida in momenti di dolore, mentre cerca di riappropriarsi della propria voce e della propria speranza. Un inno alla resilienza, che invita a trovare un barlume d'amore anche nei momenti più bui.

Ho perso la fede

Cammino in questa vita, un sentiero di sassi,
dove i sogni svaniscono, come un puzzle rotto di mille pezzi.
Ho perso amici, volati via,
e i ricordi si fanno pesanti, come la vita mia.

Ho perso la fede, in un cielo che tace,
le stelle non brillano, in questa notte che dice:
Dove sei, divinità, quando il cuore si spezza?
Come pretendi che arrivi su, fino alla tua altezza?

I cari piano piano se ne vanno
come nubi trasportate dal vento ,
le risate svaniscono, e nel silenzio io mi arrendo .
Cerco risposte, ma trovo solo il vuoto,
un eco di domande, in un destino che rimane sempre più ignoto.

Ho perso la fede, in questo cielo che non mi appartiene ,
Ho perso la strada e mi sento arrugginire
Dove siete voi abitanti del cielo?
Avete forse coperto il mondo con uno spesso velo?.

In questo mondo ancora oggi popoli martoriati,
Con strade troppo spesso affollate di temibili carri armati
Forse la fede che cerchiamo non è solo un’illusione,
ma un viaggio interiore, una nuova e subdola convinzione

Ho perso la fede, ma non la mia voce,
in questo mare di lacrime, troverò la mia croce.
Dove sei, divinità, quando il cuore si spezza?
In questo mondo grigio, la speranza è in recessa.

Cammino in questa vita, con il peso del dolore,
ma nel profondo del cuore, c’è ancora un barlume d’amore.
Ho perso la fede, ma non la mia anima,
in questo viaggio incerto, troverò il mio domani.

Ho perso la fede

If you have ever experienced helping friends or loved ones through tough times or ever had support from others when you have been struggling to deal with things, then just remember that there is always hope :) 


Hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead 

Its our time
We can be what we want if we want to be
Don’t waste it
Its something we need

Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly 

In a new light  
You can look back in time and think differently
Stay with me  
I’ll help you to breathe

Move on
We can leave things behind that we don’t want to see
I’ll be with you
If you want me to be
 
Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Why is it hard staying strong?
Why do we find it hard
When its easy being wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Just hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead

Hold On

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!

Sans un bruit, ce matin,
une rose est éclose.
Perdue en ce jardin
où mon coeur agonise.
Au milieu de hautes herbes,
c'est elle survivante.
Soudain dans l'air vibrant,
mes souvenirs voltigent.
Dans la chaude lumière,
de cette beauté naissante;
perdues dans ma mémoire,
de sinistres images...
Sans un bruit ce matin,
mon coeur s'est lavé.
Perdu en ce jardin,
dans la chaude lumière.
Au milieu de mes souvenirs
qui voltigent.
Des hautes herbes
et d'un été naissant.
C'est ma joie survivante,
sur la brande, ce matin.
Aux vies agonisantes,
à la beauté naissante.
Aux images oubliées,
soudain, dans l'air vibrant.

Brande
Without a sound, this morning,
a rose bloomed.
Lost in this garden
where my heart agonizes.
In the midst of tall grasses,
is the surviving rose.
Suddenly, in the vibrant air,
my memories flutter.
In the warm light,
of this emerging beauty;
lost in my memory,
of sinister images...
Without a sound this morning,
my heart washed.
Lost in this garden,
in the warm light.
In the midst of my fluttering memories
.
Tall grasses
and a budding summer.
This is my surviving joy,
on the heather this morning.
To dying lives,
to emerging beauty.
To forgotten images,
suddenly, in the vibrant air.

Backwards (2025) - Rebellion and pride collide with faith
Most of us have broken peace with God at some point. Wrestling with the reality of the transaction that took place on the cross, inspired the creation of "Backwards". With relentless guitar riffs and emotional vocals, this alternative rock song captures the internal battle between rebellion and pride versus humility and obedience. We often feel like we must earn salvation, but God's grace and forgiveness come freely, turning our expectations backwards.

Pee Gee           :    Lyrics

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Now the night is fading
The dawn is yet to come
A new day is waiting
All bad dreams are gone

Time to leave..you told me
In your own personal way
You made your point clear
Come back and make my day

There is a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago
Today is now ..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

They say that time will heal
The wounds if you can wait
Today is now.. today is real
Never ask ..is it too late?

Let us begin the dance
Whirling into the future
Taking another chance
Holding you tight forever

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long  Ago
Today is now..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago....................

Yesterday Is Long Ago ....

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Le père :
On dit qu'les mères en amour ont neuf mois d'avance,
Qu'on ne vous porte pas, et que nous : c'est la loi.
On dit même qu'on vous fabrique par inadvertance.
Mais ma tendresse est un lait qui ne se tarit pas.

Le fils :
Si tu peux tout cela,                 
Rassasier l'affamé,
Pourquoi ces terres brûlées,
Ce vide en moi, papa ?

La mère:
Tu es quelqu'un de bien. Tu es quelqu'un de rare.   
Celui qui te trahit, celui qui te salit,
Qu'il change de trottoir : je lui lav'rai la bouche
Avec du savon noir. Je veux pas qu'on te touche.

Le fils:
Tous tes regards sont teints                    
De ton amour pour moi.
C'est mon pain quotidien,
J'en connais trop le goût. 

La mère:
Blé noir qui se morfond et ne veut pas lever,       
Tu cherches des soleils pour croire et espérer.
Les plafonds sont trop bas, les idéaux s'effondrent
Et la triche est partout, le monde est à refondre.
Tu ne peux plus mettre dans les miens tes pas.

Le fils :
Si tu sais tout cela,                
Sur le tapis vert,
Pourquoi tes mains jetèrent
Les dés perdants, maman ?   

La mère et le père
Les dés seront gagnants si tu changes les règles. 
Hier, j'ai vu un lièvre emporté par un aigle.
Et j'ai pensé : Merveille, les lièvres volent !

Le fils:
Et moi je n’arrive plus à marcher jusqu’à l’école .

The losing dice,

The father:
They say that mothers in love have a nine-month head start,
That we don't carry you, and that we: it's the law.
They even say that we make you inadvertently.
But my tenderness is milk that never runs dry.

The son:
If you can do all that, 
Rassasier l'affamé,
Why these burnt lands,
This emptiness in me, dad?

Mother:
You're a good person. You're a rare one.   
The one who betrays you, the one who dirties you,
Let him change sidewalk: I'll wash his mouth
With black soap. I don't want anyone to touch you.

The son:
All your looks are tinged 
With your love for me.
It's my daily bread,
I know the taste too well.

The mother:
Black wheat that mopes and won't rise, 
You're looking for suns to believe and hope.
Ceilings are too low, ideals are collapsing
And cheating is everywhere, the world needs to be remade.
You can no longer follow in my footsteps.

Son:
If you know all this, 
On the green carpet,
Why did your hands throw
The losing dice, Mom?

Mother and father
The dice will win if you change the rules. 
Yesterday, I saw a hare carried off by an eagle.
And I thought: Wonder, hares can fly!
Son:
And I can't walk to school.

My second time to try covering my favorite John Denver song.

Country Roads - Cover by Tony

Pierre and JC Bordetti productions (c) 06/2025.

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Pierre Bordetti and Jean-Claude Bordetti on drums.

Lyrics
Lost in the night, under silver beams, Drifting through cosmic, endless dreams. 
A thousand lights whisper my name, Guiding me home through time and flame.

Stars above, shining so bright, Lighting up the lonely night. Tell me tales of space and time, Sing me songs, make the world divine.

Fullness

The first version of this in 2005 was a reaction to nationalism as exhibited via plane hijackings. This time the US border politics triggered a rewrite with a different chord structure and words. Just acoustic guitar and bass: back to basics!

INTERNATIONAL NATIONALITY 2025

I woke up to face the day Acapulco Hilton
I knew I had to catch a train to the USA
I should be excited but I know I’m not
I’m feeling all the fears that America’s got 

There are borders and a national guard
There are people who are living so hard
I think it’s time to make us all the same
An international nationality

Out of the xray beam to the border gate
Who’s got a false passport are they here today?
I’m looking around for a sweaty brow
Has the guard gotta grudge and a sacred cow?

Let’s get something underway
Take away the borders of today
I think it’s time to make us all the same
An international nationality

Free them . . . and you’ll be halfway human
The children . . . let them be in arms tomorrow

I’m looking out through the glass at the other’s world
Seeing them through the fence where they’re all being held
Who’s that getting up and walking around
Are we just gonna leave without making a sound?

International Nationality 2025

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

In 1986 I was 17 , My big brother Scott was 19;.  He was killed and left at the side of a road by a drink driver who didn’t stop. They drove off and were eventually caught. This song is a dedication in music and words for my brother and for others who have lost a loved one to crime.

Brotherly love .mp3

Mayday, Mayday!

I don't know where I am or what time it is.
I was in a town I didn't know.
People wearing unfamiliar clothes.
I can't understand their language.

Is this some kind of accident?

Mayday, Mayday, emergency!
I feel like I'm about to sink.

Everything was normal until I got off the train this morning.
As I walked toward the office, things started to get strange.

Is everyone trying to deceive me?

Mayday, Mayday, emergency!
Or am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to contact you, but I don't know how to use my cell phone.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Where did my iPhone disappear to?

For now, where should I go?

Mayday, Mayday, emergency!
The situation is serious.

Mayday, Mayday, emergency!
I'm waiting for your rescue.

Mayday, Mayday!

Kindness feels a little drowned out these days.

We say, and now's not the time for violence, but now's not the time for letting go.
Fools always run with madness.
And fools always think that might is right.

It's war they will tell you.
Flames in the sky.
Can't we remember, that kind is not weak.
lost for your words, lost in your heart. 
Yet somehow, we feel that kindness can't speak.

kindness won’t speak. 
kindness can sleep.
kindness has drowned and lost all speech. 

Kindness won't speak.
kindness can sleep. 
kindness has gone; we fall we weep.

Oh, and if you never know, never know, never know where all the good guys go.
I'll let you know, let you know, let you know, that's just the way we go.

We say, and now's not the time for violence, but now's not the time for letting go.
Fools always run with madness.
And fools always think that might is right.

kindness won’t speak. 
kindness can sleep.
kindness has drowned and lost all speech. 

Kindness won't speak.
kindness can sleep. 
kindness has gone; we fall we weep.

Kindness Can't Speak

Shadow Lessons

Love is nothing from above
it's only for a few
And you can't take it with you

Fear is nothing but a coward
That never had to walk alone
Under this rain shower

Love becomes tomorrow's sorrow
Nothing you can win
No time that you can borrow

Hope, what are we looking for?
Looking at the world around
Without an open door

Peace, the world will never see
No one can see eye to eye
Including you and me

Tomorrow's Sorrow

The Feeling Stays

"Zovŭ Vesny i Jaryla" (Call of Spring and Jarylo) An invigorating song celebrating nature's awakening, the first plowing, and the sowing of seeds, invoking Jarylo, the god of spring and fertility, for new growth.

Spring has arrived, snow now melts away, Earth awakens, from slumber's sway. Green leaves unfurl on branches high, Jarylo comes, life reborn beneath the sky.

First plowing done, furrow deep and wide, Seeds now fall, a promise high to abide. Birds softly sing, spring's glory they praise, New lineage grows, towards bright light it strays.

Prayer on our lips, hope in every heart, May our field be full, fulfilling its part. Lada with us, Peace in our home's embrace, A song we'll sing, in this springtime grace!

Zovŭ Vesny i Jaryla

Song of Time and Transformation

The Song of Time and Transformation is a ritual chant of the Garumani, sung in harmony with the flowing waters of Narvelar — the Twin Currents of Shadow and Light.
It weaves together the ancient rhythm of Sanmor (Silence), Larin (River), Thilor (Light), and Viloth (Spirit), reminding the wanderer that life is not a straight path, but a cycle of echoes.

Each verse speaks of change: shadows becoming light, endings returning as beginnings, rivers flowing endlessly into the Ocean of Spirit (Viloth’larin). The refrain repeats the four eternal presences:

“Oto cisza, oto rzeka,
Oto światło, oto duch.”

— “Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

The song is both simple and profound. Its rhythm is steady, like the heartbeat of water. It is meant to be sung softly, allowing the voice to merge with the rippling reflections of light and shadow.

The Song of Time and Transformation is not only music — it is meditation, a bridge between the inner self and the eternal river of existence.

Song of Time – Narvelar

Shadow flows, and light returns,
The river dreams in stones of weight.
The spirit of change is dancing in water,
And silence is breathing in the deep.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Light is guiding, shadow is shelter,
Two currents meeting within the song.
Stars of Shanoril flicker on the surface,
And the stones of Moril keep the memory.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”


Maroth the butterfly hovers above,
Its wings are singing of change.
What has been is always returning,
What will come is already breathing.


Sanmor lo, Larin lo,
Thilor lo, Viloth lo.
“Behold silence, behold the river,
Behold the light, behold the spirit.”

Coda

Narvelar flows with twin voices,
Shadow and light entwined as one current.
Whoever gazes into its waters gazes into their soul,
And the spirit answers within silence.

HE NEVER GOT A FAIR SHAKE			
NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED			
NEVER GOT A BRAKE			
ALWAYS WANDERIN' WHY			
			
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOIN' ON			
HE NEVER CAME OUT ON TOP			
WHAT DID HE DO WRONG			
HAD WORKED NONSTOP			
			
(CHORUS)			
HIS GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID			
JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ALLWAYS DO WHAT'S RIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT			
			
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN 			
DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD DO			
RUNNIN' FOR THAT TOUCHDOWN			
CAUSE HIS TIME WAS OVERDUE			
			
HIS LIFE WAS FILLED WITH STRIFE			
NEVER STOPPED DREANIN'			
WANTED THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE			
NEVER STOPPED TRYIN'			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT
