I miss ya'll every day my friends
You're only pictures on my wall
And the summers are just not the same
Only waiting for the fall

I thank you all for being here
If only for a while
And even on my darkest day
I won't forget to smile

Take me home 
Where the one's I loved are there and I'm no longer alone
Take me high
To a place where I belong in the sky

Take Me Home

The Mist Of Time

Take A Moment

Humans are the only species who preserve a lasting relationship from parents to children and vice versa after the offspring has reached adolescence. This can be curse and blessing at the same time in some cases, but overall it is a gift in my view. We will stay the children of our parents for a lifetime obviously. Once you have realized this and don't consider it a threat anymore you are given the chance to close the circle in a peace- and beautiful way.

One Day When it was Time to Come Home

Dance In The Wind

Green and the Blue

This is a cover of one of my favorite songs by the artist Fink. I made an acoustic instrumental version, loosely based on the original, however using some of the key melodies and riffs. The track develops into a full band halfway during this track. I hope you'll enjoy my version... -Dan

Green And The Blue | FINK Cover by Dan van den Berg

Sun ! Begins to shine on me, I'm fine
Sun ! My body's ready to feel the burn
I don’t even move a single finger
Sun ! Begins to sway me in the waves

You can join me, drive your car, come along
You don’t have to tell anyone where we’ve gone
Leave it all yeah, all behind
Cos' you know it's a blessing to feel the sun

Sun ! Sun's rays on the sand, it feels so great
Sun ! Just chilling here, with a fun-filled fate
Waves chat with the shore, secrets in store
Sun ! Summer vibes got us craving more

Take a break, let's chase the sun and the sea
No worries baby, just living the dream
Windows down, wind in our hair
Summer days, full of laughter, fun everywhere

Forget all about your troubles (All about it)
What a beautiful day
Let the summer vibes come to your rescue
Sun

Sun ! Begins to shine on me, I'm fine
Sun ! My body's ready to feel the burn
I'm ready to feel the burn
Sun !
It feels so great !
Sun !
Are you goin'to feel the sun ?
Sun !

Too Good To Be True

Never the Bridle in interview with Mark Watkins: tinyurl.com/5n7frwf6

'Lessons' was a November 2024 Fresh on the Net 'Fresh Fave' and has been played on Exile FM and North Manchester FM.

'Lessons', 'Say it now', 'Over and out', and several more album tracks, have had Amazing Radio airplay and are airing on their indie, pop, and rock + metal genre streams.

You can now hear them along with the rest of the album: 'Eldest Daughter Energy'.

-----------

Solo singer-guitarist-bassist writing upbeat indie songs about anxiety and postpartum life. Keen to write for other artists.

I record the vocals, guitars and bass at home. Guest drums and production are by Martyn James.

The artist name is a reference to the scold's bridle, an archaic instrument of punishment primarily used on women.
