Without Love Nothing Is Real

Hard To Get

This one is called Hard To Get. A young guy has his eye on a lovely young lady. He can't help but notice her every time she walks by. Especially when there's no one else around.  But she never really says anything to him. He thinks she is playing hard to get by not saying anything to him.  Never figuring out that she's been trying to get his attention for the whole time.

Lyrics;
It was hot and muggy
On a hot summer day
I was sitting on the steps
When I saw her walking by my way
She had a sundress on
And sandals on her feet
And I just watched her walk
All the way on down the street
But I knew that she was playing hard to get
One day she'd be all mine
One day but not just yet
The leaves were falling
There was a chill in the air
The breeze was blowing
I was the only one out there
Then she was walking by
In that blue and black sweater
Never even looked my way
But no one could look better
Still I knew she was playing hard to get
But one day she'd be all mine
One day but not just yet
It was a cold and cloudy day
And ice formed on the trees
I was shoveling the drive
With snow over my knees
And there she was
In a ski coat and sock hat
Building up a snowman
And I thought get a load of that
She's making a man with a heart as cold as ice
she should think about me
I'm warm and oh so nice
The seasons pass
But one day she was standing right there
Looked me right in the eyes
And said ah you men, I  swear
And I was thunderstruck
And I began to sweat
She laughed and said
Why do you play so hard to get?

Hard To Get

If a kiss could last forever, then a kiss from you could never last long enough. I wrote this on a Valentine for my life partner and was inspired to put it in a track! I really love the pop feel of this one. A little more mainstream sounding tham what I usually make but the groove is there and it feels real nice. Vocoded lyrics on the Arturia MicroFreak, bass and 1st melody on my new Hydrasynth Explorer, 2nd melody on Izotope Iris 2, drums on the Synthstrom Deluge.

if a kiss could last forever

Hope it enables a bit of relaxation and mindfulness.

"Mélancolisa" de Jerry Bony 
Détendez-vous avec ce morceau, qui transmet une sensation douce et moelleuse.
Avec des mélodies apaisantes et des percussions légères, c'est la toile de fond parfaite pour votre prochaine frénésie de visionnage.
Si vous aimez la musique instrumentale, ce morceau est fait pour vous.
Les mélodies créées par le violon s'entremêlent .
C'est une belle pièce folk électro rêveuse qui explore la sensation d'une douce boucle méditative et détendue.
La musique est légèrement mélancolique dans sa nature.

Jerry Bony - Mélancolisa

The two extra Darwin gadgets are for the drums :) Otherwise it’s literally the same as the other version.
Not in the competition, since it's a derivative.

Everything (with drums)

This tune was inspired by the picture taken by my friend, Masanori Kozawa. https://www.instagram.com/fo_galaxy_999/
He passed away on 10th Oct 2019. Now this song sounds like a requiem. I thank him a lot for his excellent photos. R.I.P. Masanori.

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
