First, they charm you, promise you a rose garden, a castle in the sky. You stumble, you fall. The breakdown begins: gaslighting, fear-mongering, isolation, abuse. And the beating. You know you should run. But you're alone, afraid dependent, and torn. Not everyone gets away. But this one did.

Why I ran Live at Toads 2025

Damnation Station (demo)

This song was written by Billy Goodman, and it is our first Vocal collaboration. Performed as a live track.. It is a thrill and honor for me to work with this insanely talented guy, and I fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. Beautifully crafted lyrics and melody, it was a joy to add piano, cello and vocals to this gorgeous song. Thank you for allowing me to tag along on this awesome ride Billy!! Here's to many more.

Makes Me Wanna Cry

(Verse)
All the things I see, should I be afraid 
It's never safe to love someone, what became of the plans I made
Just a tired cliche like thoughts and prayers
When a dignified silence is the only thing we ever shared

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Verse)
I hate where my thoughts go they take me to the pain
We always stayed in character even when we were to blame
Love and things that meant the world just vanished away
I found refuge in your heart but I couldn't stay

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Bridge)

Dead inside this echo chamber and it feels so much like home
Not a soul can touch me here but I don't believe I'm really all alone
The sun won't rise and the sun won't set but I'm nestled in this soft shade of grey
As the following sea surrounds me and slowly washes everything away

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

Makes Me Wanna Cry

Makes me wanna cry - Billy Goodman & Nat Daniels


She’s rhyming reasons why
No clouds up in the sky
Feels better when it rains
Washes her tears away 

The starlings dance and sing
But she can’t feel a thing
Dreams without wings can’t fly
Hearts without dreams,
Hearts without dreams can die

She fogs the windowpane
Then draws a smiling face
Puts herself in its place
Then she DRAWS the window shade
I’d rather take your fall
Then watch you walk away from it all 
If the rain is where you hide
I’ll be waiting outside

Eden seems so far away

Reached out to touch the sun
On fire, burning wings are gone
Fall burning just to be
Between the sky and sea

Some cast in molds cracked and broke
While others tempered and gold
Some lost in a gaze
While others burn and fade

She fogs the windowpane
Then draws a smiling face
Puts herself in its place
Then she draws the window shade
I’d rather take your fall
Than watch you walk away from it all
If the rain is where you hide
I’ll be waiting outside


When it Rains
