Great job Nat  and  happy birthday to my friend

This was so worth revisiting, so glad you did. This is a classic, should be a hit in a sane world. Lovely work by you both. Happy birthday Craig

Sounds fantastic Nat and a fine write by both you and the birthday boy:)

fantastic sound and arrangement Nat!! who's playing guitar? (ace work)

Beautiful work on this new production! Everything sounds great, Nat

I thought I would rework this a little as it still applies to the situation today
lyrics

lables are toxic
and they choke off our brains
instead of progress
all we get is cold rain

we all have problems we have to solve 
issues of life that impact us all

there's kids who are hungry
bridges that fall
people who hate for no reason at all
now we burn books
cause we're afraid of some words
we throw rocks at others before they are heard

this is a democrat
that's a republican
how can they be right when they are both so wrong

get away from lables
stop fencing our minds in
with stereotypes hyped by leaders who grin
they've duped us to think that we don't have the sense
to think for ourselves
so let's give common sense a chance

think for yourself
use your own ears and eyes
let your heart guide your hand
not the unfounded lies
that these leaders all tell
they don't care about you
they have something to sell
and that something is you

are you for sale#2

A-Festivity New World

Felt for producing some rock, since it was forever since I did it. I used Logic.. (Im more of an Reason user). But happy with the results. Specially the session drummer feature, its very useful.
I hope you enjoy :)


GONE LIKE SMOKE

You pulled me closer, then you let me fall
A whisper of heaven, then nothing at all
Between the real and unreal

Gone like smoke, you leave no sign
Whispers fade, but they are not mine
Reach through the shadows, I hear the call
But there is nothing, nothing at all

You pulled me closer, then you let me fall
Now I am haunted with nothing at all
Between the real and unreal

Gone like smoke, you leave no sign
Whispers fade, but they are not mine
Reach through the shadows, I hear the call
But there is nothing, nothing at all

Fade in, fade out
Call me, shut me out
Hear me, fear me
I am still here, see me

No sound, no sign
Your silence is mine
I fall, I crawl
Through nothing at all

Gone Like Smoke

There are voices you don’t just hear – you feel them.
Janne Hennie’s voice is one of those.
It’s honest, warm, and full of soul – turning this song into something that comforts.

In her interpretation of the classic by Mariah Carey, there’s so much heart that the song gains a new depth. Every note carries emotion, every word feels sincere.

I had the great privilege of creating the musical arrangement for Janne’s version. What emerged is an interpretation that moves – quietly, genuinely, and without pretension.

Thank you, Janne, for your voice, your trust, and this very special collaboration. 💫

Lyrics:-
Could I walk down the street
With my head high
If I didn't question 
All the reasons why...
That our "leaders"
Pretend to care 'bout us
But do the opposite 
That's treasonous

So sick of this veil of deception
Whether right or wrong at inception
The only way has 
Dignity and truth
Open up the windows for us
Let the light shine in dark corners
The only way has
Dinity and truth

We should peacefuly stand
And not comply
Every woman every man
Should now ask why...
Do we pay to a system
That don't work
Before it gets better
It's gonna hurt

I've seen you coming. I've seen you go. 
The more you look for answers, the less you really know. 
I hear you crying. I hear you moan. 
What you really fear is you'll end up all alone.

I don't know where we're going. 
You don't know where we've been. 
Ain't no use in fighting. 
We'll end up here again. We'll end up here again.

I've seen what you're writing. Writing in the sky. 
Maybe I'll understand it, in the by and by. 
Living with no direction, not looking for a sign. 
When you've got nowhere you're going, 
You're always there on time.

Roadside Taj Mahal, Dry Niagara Falls, 
One more mile to The Thing, Souvenirs for all. 
For all I know, we've been here before. 
We've been here before.

Been Here Before

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
