lyrics based on the poem My Cocoon from These Tales Are True

my cocoon

not breaking the grounding between my feet
but stepping into the dance.
a move behind me at times
and then leading,

you work me into a circle
circling my radius
my cocoon
 
in my body
you work me, my cocoon, 
in a dance, in a dance, an inner dance

My Cocoon | of mystique & myrcury

Working from Home Lyrics

This one is loosely based on a friend.  He is handling the lockdown business in a very good stride.  Ok?  I think?

Another morning without my shoes
Nowhere else that I'd rather be
Plugged into my computer
Morning commuter never had it so easy

Virtual meeting in the morning
My castle got to be the perfect scene
No one will see the dirty laundry
For all they know this castle's always clean

Workin from home
Put on a coat and tie
I'm barefoot in my underwear
Seeing the screen with my naked eyes

Smile for the camera stiff upper lip and lift the chin
Show a positive expression all the way to the end
Pretending everything is normal here like this is how it's supposed to be
Safe and sound in my kitchen with my pop tarts and hot tea

Workin from home
Put on a coat and tie
I'm barefoot in my underwear
And I'm so happy I could cry

I don't need to gas up my car
Or go out for milk or bread
Groceries delivered right to my door
Working from home is going to my head
Another morning without my shoes
Nowhere else that I'd rather be
Plugged into my computer
Morning commuter never had it so easy

Oh yeah we're working from home
We're all alone so we're part of the team
From the miracle of wifi
Comes a new kind of American dream

Working from home.....

Lovely to write at my real piano for this one...😊🎹❤️🎧🎤🎵
Thank you Sander for another lovely mastering job. You’re the best...😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don’t know whether to sink or swim
So I’ll just keep floating
Don’t know if I’ll say a prayer
In the hopes you might appear

You can soften the blow
Don’t make me watch you go
Let me down so gently
Soften the blow...

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Memories keep drifting by
Don’t know if I’ll say a prayer
In the hopes that you’ll appear

You can soften this blow
Can’t watch you go
Lay me down so gently
Soften the blow...

Soften the blow (acoustic piano)

TAFFETA | Part 20

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:
https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1

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.
