Just had to have a few more spins of this amazing song while visiting your cloud. It's a wonderous thing how you can convey as much emotion with your fingers as you do with your beautiful voice. A song and vocal of much greatness. Fab lyrics as well.

Great song and singing Nat...beautiful expression.

Oh my.  This is super good Nat.  You always melt the heart with your vox.

Its me again.....Wish I could repost this more than once. I know nothing about sending songs off to publishers etc as I have never tried but this one has to go, surely. Its a stunning song, though I cannot imagine anyone singing it better than you Nat.

toujours aussi bon..j'adore la voix...et la music..encore bravo

Songs That Need Repeating!

This song is for anyone who is in a long distance relationship regardless of how (physically) close the other may be.  It is for those who feel something for another.  The other also feels this attachment.  But something is preventing them from turning this love into a physical relationship (marriage, children, gender…).  They see each other frequently.  Perhaps they are neighbors, co-workers, or spouses of friends.  They enjoy their time together but it is always at a distance.  Never to be consummated.  The first and third verse & choruses are in the Key of G.  The second verse & chorus is in the Key of F.

But We Can Love

Verse:
I see you every day
SO  much more in the month of May
You return my eye contact
We share this painful pact

I see that longing in your eyes
It wells up in me but I cannot cry
The hint of love for me
My body aches to get down on knees

Chorus:
We cannot touch
We cannot hug
We cannot caress
We cannot kiss
But we can loo-o-o-ove
we can loo-o-o-ove
hmmm hm hmmm

Verse 2:
The desire to take the next step 
In my mind has often crept
But I know it cannot be
No lunch nor sharing a tea

When I see you my body yearns 
My heart aches and burns
I want to be close and touch
Press you against me and such

Verse 3:
But alas I know it is not to be
There can never be a you and me
Our history has not unfolded that way
The fates have shouted neigh

The us that we desire will never be we
It will remain a separate you and me
We remain distant to each other
It is as though we are sister and brother

Outro:
The kiss is only in our minds
Safely hidden behind the blinds
Deep inside our head

But We Can Love

Thanks to some amazing musical genes, I find myself fortunate to be able to lean into generations of musical knowledge and perspective. Here is a take of #TomWaits’ #NewCoatOfPaint from his 1972 masterpiece #TheHeartOfSaturdayNight.

Today I feel like I’m sitting in the heart of Sunday Afternoon...

All The Headlights

You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching  . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

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..

Home (To My Daughter)
Hi, how are you doing?
How was your day today?
You must've had a good time, haven't you?
Cause I can see it from your face.
um,,, wait a minute, I can hear your heart's singing.
So, what happened? oh come on, tell me please.
OK, what was the first prize of fun today?
oh, don't tease me, tell me tell me tell me.
ha ha,,, oh that's funny. That's good! Good on you!
Anyway, nice to hear it.
I'm glad to be with you.
I'm glad to be with you.

You are my home.
And I'm your home.
This is your place at any time.
You are my home.
And I'm your home.
I'll always be here,
as your home.

You OK?
You look sad today.
If you want to talk, I hear you.
If you need to cry, you know I'm with you.
I wish I could take your place.
I wish I could mend your heart.
But I know, you're the one who can get over it.
So don't worry too much.
You'll be fine as you are.
You know, time is always on your side.
And I'm always on your side, too.
I'm always on your side.

Home  (To My Daughter)

Home is where you find yourself

Lyrics:
I pray the sky to tell me
Is there a place that I can call mine?
Am I in the right way?

Surrounded by this plain
I let my body sway
In this ocean
Floating in the silence
Plunged in changing flow
Will I arrive at the point?

And I’m searching for home
In this solitude
I’m searching for myself
In these warm days
And I’m waiting for the wind
In this endless view
Preciously holding my memories

And it’s hard
To feel things changing
Rearranging all of us
Thinking ‘bout it could have been

Surrounded by this plain
I let my body sway
In this ocean
Floating in the silence
Plunged in changing flow
Will it be a point?

And I’m searching for home
In this solitude
I’m searching for myself
In these warm days
And I’m waiting for the wind
In this endless view
Preciously holding my memories

Help me

Written and recorded 3rd January 2021

My first jam and recording session of the year... another song based on an improv with my bouzouki, which is the main rhythm instrument in this track.

After a difficult year, and a socially distanced Christmas and New Year, the only solace is knowing that we are doing what we can to keep each other safe.

Lyrics:

These darkened days
We've stayed away...

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

No face to face
No meeting place

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

We'll join again
Some glorious day

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

Safe

A million thanks to Nat for her gorgeous vocals here. This song is for the soldiers who risk their lives for us and get nothing in return but mockery. We hate war and want our boys back home. But those who fight for us deserve respect and recognition.

Politicians sent our boys to war
to a place they've never been before
I'd like to send the old guys instead
to make them think about a senseless death

Hey, this is no game, you have no right to waste their lives
hey, have you no shame, you wouldn't dare to be on the other side

Defend their country - that's all they should do
but there is so much more you send them through
how can you make them fight in foreign lands
cause you know pretty well how that will end

Don't leave them alone
bring our boys back home

Badly traumatised when they return
rejected by the people makes them burn
they risk their lives but mockery's all they earn
will the politicians ever learn?

They deserve respect, please act like that and honour them
give them all they need to find their way in life again

Don't leave them alone    
bring our boys back home

Home  ft. NAT DANIELS

This is an original song.
I hope you like it.
Thank you.

You’re Still In That day

Last night I saw you
it’s been a while
same like before
in my dream

Sometimes I wonder
what would have changed
if I could tell
I love you

I think I knew
this could be the last
that you are there

I always loved you
always loved you
I’d love to tell you
but I can’t

I always loved you
always loved you
I should tell you
since that day

You’re still in there
you’re still in there
you’re still in there for me

You’re still in that day
you’re still in that day
you’re still in that day for me
for me

（日本語訳）
昨晩、君を見かけたよ
久しぶりに
いつもと変わらない君を
夢の中で

時々思うんだ
何か変わっていただろうか
もし、思いを伝えることが出来たなら

わかってたんだ
これが最後かも知れないって
当たり前のように君がいる事が

君をずっと愛してた
ずっと愛してた
伝えたかった
でも出来なかったんだ

君をずっと愛してた
ずっと愛してた
伝えるべきだった
あの日から

君はそのまま
そのままなんだ
僕の中の君は
いつまでもそのままなんだ

君はあの日のまま
あの日のままなんだ
僕の中の君は
いつまでもあの日のままなんだ

You're Still In That Day

Martin contacted me with the title of the song in his mind...he wanted me to put his excellent acoustic recording track with some lyrics.
I was glad to offer my ideas and the result was a true folk song of modernity.
I hope you enjoy our collaboration.
