[Verse 1]
She moves like slow sunrise,
Gold dust in her hair,
Every breath she takes
Changes the color of the air.

My thoughts get soft and hazy,
The world begins to sway,
Every time she smiles,
The daylight melts away.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m weightless when she’s near,
Sweetness in my veins,
Nothing feels the same —
She’s dripping through my brain.

[Chorus]
She turns the air to honey, honey,
Sweet and slow and wild,
Honey on my heartbeat,
She tastes like summertime.
She turns the air to honey, honey,
I breathe her in, I drown,
She’s sugar on the ceiling,
And gold all over town.

[Verse 2]
Her voice bends light to motion,
Like waves inside my chest,
She paints the sky in slow emotion,
And leaves me breathless, blessed.

Every color fades to amber,
Every second feels brand new,
If love could make you dizzy,
She’s the reason why I do.

[Bridge]
Golden fire, golden rain,
Pour it on, I’ll take the pain,
Spin me slow, don’t let me see —
The world’s all sweet when she’s with me.

[Final Chorus]
She turns the air to honey, honey,
Sweet and slow and wild,
Honey in her laughter,
Honey in her smile.
She turns the air to honey, honey,
I breathe her in, I drown,
And everything she touches
Turns to light somehow.

PAR ECRIT

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Lyrics

What about salvation?
(Asking for a friend)
Is it too late to learn guitar?
(Asking for a friend)
What about reincarnation?
(Asking for a friend)

Is New York already safe?
(Asking for a friend)
Has the debate taught us anything?
(Asking for a friend)
Can crises be averted?
(Asking for a friend)

Can I get myself into new Zealand?
(Asking for a friend)
Can one get oneself tested?
(Asking for a friend)
Is love still a proposition?
(Asking for a friend)

The title was taken from a tweet by Sean Ono Lennon, when he 'asked for a friend' (#askingforafriend) if it is possible to get a resident permit in New Zealand.

Interstellar Journey Part 3

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.....

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.
