Walk on, Through the night 
Lunacy is burning bright
Stand tall, Against it all
If you trip I'll break your fall 
Hell fire, Burns away 
The fabric of our life today
Shell shocked, Everyone 
Now we stumble as we run

You been waiting a long time 
You are strong and you burn bright
Come on now and bring it all together 
You're the one to show me how 

Hold tight, Break the mould
Don't buy everything you're sold 
Eyes wide, Take it in
The only way to see within
Don't bow, Lift your head
Never forget the the things she said 
The memory, Of it all 
Pick it up, Take the call

Screen down, Look around 
So much more that can be found 
Boots on, March along 
Walk on back to where you're from 
Guilded cage, You're in 
Break it down, that's how to begin
Wake up, Can't you see 
Everything is energy 

You been waiting a long time 
You are strong and you burn bright
Come on now and bring it all together 
You're the one to show me how...

Your Own Time

So you’re feeling down now child
And your days are looking black
Just remember to open your eyes
So you see where the love is at

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember your not alone
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
All I can for you
Any you will find your way
In your own time

Watch out for those smiling
False friends by your side 
They’ll take everything they can
And leave you far behind

And I will always do
All I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time

Sometimes you won’t feel tuff enough
Sometimes you won’t feel cool enough
And sometimes this old world 
Can really get you down

Ah but don’t you worry dear
It’s not really all that bad
Just remember to open your mind
And you soon will understand

It’s an uphill battle yeah 
And it’s easy to get lost
Just remember who you are
And it all will be worth the cost

And I will always do
While I can for you
And you will find your way
In your own time
Your own time

Was lovely to write a song at my acoustic piano again.  Huge thanks to my lovely and talented Sander for mixing and mastering. 😊🎶❤️🎹🎤🎼🎵🎧❤️

SAFETY NET (acoustic piano and vocals)

A sunday acoustic song I wrote and recorded today.

Maybe

This is a first for Daniels & Durgy. An indulgent bit of fun we had in composing and performing this melodramatic Halloween themed extravaganza. To make it even better we have two of our best friends, Todd & Mike, joining in for the instrumental bridge near the end, something you won’t want to miss! We recommend a string of garlic and a silver stake in hand as you dare to venture into the mist............................   Video on YouTube for some added fun: https://youtu.be/_XPgAU8Mqms

Lyrics:

Silence, awakened by moonlight
Eyelids, open wide with the sound of the rain
Shadows, they creep from each gravestone
I rise up among them, as she calls out my name
Calling, her song high and haunting 
Wanting, the lips that I fear
Ohhh, marching, like a corpse hit by lightning
Frightening, but compelled yet to see her

She’s my beautiful nightmare,
My blood inside her, love is in vein
Cold, is the need as I’m bowing 
Howling, In the thunder and rain..
Mercy, I'm begging for freedom
From the life that she feeds on
With the bite of her kiss

Oh, I know you have what I need
But the moon has compelled me to feed
But there’s something inside your eyes that confounds me.. 
A rush that dispels me…
And some how I can feel your heart beat inside me
It’s lifting the curse that’s been there so long
Can you finally save me?… You’re the one I’ve been waiting for….

Darkness, I'm chained to this darkness
Like a slave in a harness, for one moment of bliss
I'm a slave in the mist
With the bite of her...terrible kiss

Slave In The Mist

AB Medley✌🎶

This is our late night, voice memo contribution to the global pile of indie-pop quarin-tunes.

"Marigolds" by Russ Stone and Annie Nirschel: they met at a murder mystery seahorse jamboree in 2004 and have been quarantining together ever since. They are not friends.

Welcome to Mike Spring’s corner of in-your-face songwriting

This page is inspired by the charm of pure songwriting. It is about the creating of a song, improvised music and raw demo’s. Naked not afraid ;)

‘Sketches from Holland’ is created by MIKE SPRING. This page holds raw recordings of original songs played live solely or invented in the heat of the moment. Tracks may be mono and not mixed. 
Once my inspiration is lit into a song idea a musical train starts rolling off hill. Often I finish a piece. Sometimes it stays a sketch and is forgotten about many years.

Thank you for listening!
