You might imagine that this song is very much influenced by Paul McCartney’s classic but although it certainly covers similar ground, the route via which it came to be has a genesis all it’s own.

Some months ago, Barbara Browning & Imre Lodbrog covered one of my songs, ‘Who’s Gonna Be My King’ (https://soundcloud.com/barbarabrowning/whos-gonna-be-my-king?si=e95c961d64c34c798ce64a06d2c3c767).  One of the many delights of hearing it was that, from their garden, you can clearly hear a blackbird singing, almost as if he or she were somehow joining in with them. I’d written the original as a lament to my late brother Bri and every element of Barbara & Imre's version resonated so deeply that it stuck in my mind for quite some time. 

In the early Summer, the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement was beginning to receive some rather  negative press reaction, something that was, to me, entirely and unforgivably misplaced.  Whenever I listened to B & I's version of ‘King', the feelings I still harboured about how unfair and undeserved Bri’s death had been somehow became intertwined with those I was having about the criticism the ‘BLM’ movement was receiving. 

So that was how this song came to be written.  I realise it’s just a cathartic exercise, one that isn’t going to change the world, merely being something I felt needed saying.  What I do know is that it’s a song that I love to sing because I mean every word.

It has been said so many times in these descriptions just how amazing a musician Hans Albers is and with this song he surpassed himself by producing four different versions from the demo I’d sent, all different and all completely wonderful.  Hans had written a tune called ‘Werewolf’ some years before which had a very similar chord structure and he  experimented to see if the two would fit together.  As things turned out, they were a perfect match, which is why we chose to post the version we have.  We hope you enjoy it.  (Terry Reeves)

A mirror image of many things seen before 
Reflecting faces behind slow closing doors
Asking questions to those who lived before
To those who lived before

Time to move forward and statues to ignore 
Duplications of fears hoping to leave all behind
No more chains, No more chains, No more chains 
To holdback opinions of kind 

I heard The Blackbird sing (x 4)

A birthplace of distance not to forget in mind
Born on one planet to help one planet rewind
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast 

No secret should be held of any slavery plan
Celebrating in marble supporting political scams
Family riches remain controlled in Buckingham 
No apologies given rejecting any honest exam

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

What happens when clones repeat living past
Historical opinions keep a discriminating cast
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

Seafaring Wanderer 
Produced, Written & Performed by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Starlight star bright 
I wished upon a city light
That the Western Winds will lead me to you
Like a long desert road with no detours or turns one can miss…
Ending in arms wide open
That greets me for certain.. with a kiss.

Oh that sun sets low 
And time waits suspended,
Mesmerising me, like the warmth of your smile
And though I’ve seen it all, the seafaring wanderer
Has found nothing new …
All this time I was searching for meaning
I found it in you.


Starlight star bright 
The bourbon made this night all right..
But the city streets, holds empty and cold
Every neon sign flickers a heart beat the beckons 
“Come on home”..
Every newspaper flutter, is like Angels that Mutter.. 
“Call his phone..” 

Oh this road I’m on has one destination,
Every star I choose just leads me to you…
Yes I’ve seen it all, like a seafaring wanderer
But one thing held true!
All this time I was searching for meaning 
I found it in you..

Seafaring Wanderer

Up on my feet

Jump into the river of diversity. Let the water carry you around.

Jump In the River (remix)

Play it loud.

I tried to look
But it hurts my eyes
Is this the truth I see
Or only lies

I can't see you
I can't fell you now
I can't hear you
I can't feel you now

POPCORN (CAT EDITION)

a little grab from a recent gig in our home town of Hobart

Live@The Founders Room Kirby/Ward

It’s just a love song. Written in June/July 2022 but set in a room in an old house in Exeter in 1985.

Lyrics: 
I must accept its love

My watch strap smells of perfume from a town in Southern France
You wore my watch last weekend at a party where we danced
We were kissing in the pub, our friends were laughing,  they were singing
The band was playing loud, our lips were sore, our ears were ringing

And now, the window to my room is open to the night
Its cold but I can see the stars, and watch the trees sway in the moonlight
The tap drips, floors creak, but I’m safe within these walls
And I miss you so badly, can’t live at all

Its just so strong ,I feel possessed by these thoughts of you
I’ve tried to fight it but there is nothing I can do
I should accept its love

I hear the train announcements from platforms down the hill
And prayers are said for our love in a room that’s light and still
I love this life I live, but now its dull and slow without you
I don’t want that anymore, and now I know what I must do

And now, I’m alone and lying in the deepest bath
My fingers trace the places on my body where you kissed me in the dark
I want the movement of your body, I want the touch, I want the heat
And I miss you so badly, just got to get through this week

Its just so strong I feel possessed by these thoughts of you
I’ve tried to fight it but there is nothing I can do
And Its changed my life and now all I want is you
I must accept its love
Yes, I know its love
It’s our love 

(Fade out….)
(Sitting by an open window, cold breeze airs my mind
I’ve been writing words with lonely meaning just to pass the time
And I should be working, or reading or something, just things that have passed me by
But your image haunts, it controls my senses, you have my heart and mind
(So Lost without you)

This is a song about enchantment. Take a look at this lady and you know what I mean...

Oh Stessy, you´re so sweet to me
Oh Stessy, how lovely you can be

Take care of your heart
And set me apart
From all other guys
To be in your eyes

Oh cherie, the fact we met´s both fate and destiny
The first time I heard   the beauty of your voice it changed my world

VERSE french

Take care of your heart
And set me apart
From all other guys
To be in your eyes

Ohoho, ohoho, ho – ho – ho
Ohoho, ohoho, ho – ho – ho

Oh Stessy, the time stands still   when you sing for me
You don´t know    how much you have enchanted my soul

Take care of your heart
And set me apart
From all other guys
To be in your eyes

Le temps s' arrête  ft. SEAN NERNEY

What absolute joy I have been able to experience in recent weeks by working together with these three eminent musicians, composers and producers.
Dan-DT, Ed Cunningham and David Dunham. It's the first time all four of us have collaborated and the result is "The Quietude".
I am very honored, and filled with joy!
So a very warm thank you gentlemen for your generosity and friendship. ;)

Since the theme of this song is the "inner stillness" we all need sometimes, there is also a video for this song on my youtube channel. Please watch it as it adds another dimension to these gentlemen's eminent musical abilities. ;)
You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxFYED8OEeQ

Many thanks Dan for the very beautiful and appropriate track image you created!

We wish you all a moment of "inner stillness". ;)

The Quietude - Dan DT, Ed Cunningham, David Dunham, Seagull

DO YOU REALLY KNOW 
HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO 
LOVE YOU?
 A BROTHER IN LAW CAN BE A BROTHER TOO YOU KNOW 
YOUR STICKING CATS FACES ALL OVER THE PLACES
 IS ONE REASON MORE TO LOVE YOU 
BUT
 LET’S GET SERIOUS BOY DELIRIOUS  YOU ARE LIKE
 DRESSED UP AS A LORD CHANGING THE OIL OF YOUR CAR 
OR SPEEDING DOWN A SLOPE THAT EVEN NOT THE POPE 
ON HIS HOLY SKIS  WOULD COPE WITH 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH US WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU 
WHY DO WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH?

DO WE REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU? 
WANNA HAVE A BEER? KANSAS CITY HERE I COME 
ME NO ENGINEER  BUT WE STILL COULD CHEER AND STRUM 
I’D LIKE TO SHAKE THE PAW OF VIRGINIA WOOF 
AND VISIT YOU FOR A GOOF 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH THEY REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH I REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

DO YOU REALLY KNOW? (Lyrics) song for David

A song about how the Queen is ever so proud and endlessly intoxicated...she is in a state of elated-ecstasy because of the miraculous fact that her King is a Good King, born to instil goodness on earth and beyond.  She will follow her Good King until the end of time...She has nothing but deep spiritual soul to soul devotion-admiration for her one and only beautiful King & of course the feelings dwell inside her, the passion fire never ending but rather only escalating. The almighty Lord Shiva says destruction will never win! One could believe that Shiva is King and his loyal goddess wife-is Parvati Queen. Hope you all enjoy this cosmic number!

Memories flicker between yearning, sorrow, and hope at the moment you realize your loved one has gone. Sweet blessing is an alt-folk tune with southern gothic undertones.
It is the opening track off the d'ville EP:

------------------------lyrics

Sweet blessing,
why are you playing dead, eyes in the back of your head?
I know even though your skin is cold
You're playing the fool in me.

Just last week? Just last week 
you wrapped your pretty head around this old tree
and tried your best to drown 
but when darkness came down
Whispered please save me…

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

On Sundays you go to church alone
Leave your sister's children
Wondering why their two moms are so distracted…

When you come back
you come back, and break all the mirrors again
and scream that dying's the only fair thing
that's left in this world.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

/violin solo @4catsncoffee/

Close those books
Close those books, they smell like dust and ghosts
These old words can't convey the pain
'cause our time is forever near us.

I know a place...
Know a place where almighty sky in the rain
Towers above the earth where we once lay

So bring that broken...
Broken violin with just one string
And I’ll, I'll bring the drums
and we'll sing and dance a play the darkness away.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'cause lately I've been thinking of
Starting over as we grow young.

This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

Follow on Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
