What a smooth and emotional cover of this all time classic. It‘s a little bit like Thrill is gone meets Aint no sunshine. Great work!!

'Oceans Apart' talks about the situation of being in a relationship and feeling like you grew apart from your partner. Without realising you simply fall out of out of love with the other person and no matter how much you try it never works out. 
Sometimes it is for the best to be "cruel" as in the end you are in fact being "kind".

I wrote this song about a relationship I was in. I was working a lot and simply did not have enough time to see my partner, or the time I had I wanted to be alone which ended up with me feeling like we were 'Oceans Apart'.

"The Thrill Is Gone" by BB King is a timeless blues classic that encapsulates the raw emotion of lost love. With BB King's soulful vocals and masterful guitar playing, the song paints a poignant picture of heartbreak and resignation. The haunting melody and expressive lyrics evoke a sense of longing and melancholy, making it a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced the pain of a fading romance.

The Thrill Is Gone

Make me smile

Lost love

"WOMAN IN THE BIBLE IN DAYS" By: Duke Turner

Written and Sung by: Damien Daniels


When I think of you
And your warm embrace
I cant help but have a smile
Written on my face
Baby

You Lift me up
When I'm 
Oh oh so down
Baby
You Lift me up
When I'm Down
Down 
Down 
Down 
Down

I haven't always had someone on my side
I have to cherish every moment I have in mind
We are something special 
and something real
baby 
Tell me is this how true love feels
I don't gotta worry 
bout a thing with you
You're the only one I want
my boo
they cant understand my mind
no
When I got your love I'm fine
I think about it all the time
I cant believe you're mine
oh

You lift me up
When I'm
Oh oh so down
baby
You life me up
When I'm down
Down
down 
down
down

Clear the way
You're my great escape
Baby
Clear the way
You're my great escape

Lift Me Up - Damien Daniels

Music written by Bruno Bertrand pre-2020, original instrumental demo recorded during the pandemic "Lockdown Sessions". Lyrics and basic melody written by Mark Bullock later in the year. Melody further developed by Emeline Gouban, and first performed with Emeline on vocals in 2022.

This mix is a hybrid of a live recording from 2023 (sax, drums and guitar taken directly from the mixing desk) and studio recordings from 2023/2024 (keys, bass and vocals).

The sax lines and performance are all by our old friend Tim Morisset.

Sliding through our Sunday
Like a rowboat on a river
An end-of-summer breeze
Guinness and the papers
At a table on the sidewalk
Dappled sunlight through the trees

Rough and not-yet-ready crew
Who called ourselves a band
We were mainly paid in beer
For our one-night late-night stands
Scratch drank real fast
Used the bottle as a slide
When he took that job with Prince
He had to say goodbye

Paris streets in late September
And times I still remember
Playing through the night
Trading riffs and sharing stories
Writing songs and dreams of glory
Till dawn's early light

Rough and not-yet-ready crew
Who called ourselves a band
We were mainly paid in beer
For our one-night late-night stands
Scratch drank real fast
Used the bottle as a slide
When he took that job with Prince
He had to say goodbye

Didn't you try to tell me that nothing lasts forever
Didn't you try to tell me to take time
Didn't you try to tell me being happy ain't a birthright
It's all gone now
And I don't know why

Then life dealt cards to all the band
And we had no choice, had to play the hand
Too many folded, quit the game
Wound up scattered just like seeds
That would never get to grow
And things could never be the same
