This one would get a crowd going live for sure.  Nice one Nunz!

this is just a really good song:guitar/melody/vocals..neat break at 230 or so

Great song! I bought Prehistoric Sounds 79’ I remember a tune called Church of indifference. Still humming it 😄

A great night playing some cowpunk in my flannie (flannelette shirt). I pretty much followed the setlist but actually played Desdemona by Paul Kelly which I haven't put on SoundCloud so I used one of his other songs for this playlist. 

Setlist for Open Mic - September 2025 - Cowpunk

Just Like Fire Would (by the Saints)

This is an original blues tune called Epiphany Blues played on electric guitar this time. I like the sound of this guitar so I thought I'd share one of it's recordings. Hope you enjoy!

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

FLYING TURTLE

Slowed down version of old song from the archive

The Way I Feel - Deep Down

This here is a little ditty I wrote last year. I thought it sounded a bit cowpunk so I gave it the unimaginative name Cowpunk 24. I played around with sounds and ended up playing my acoustic electric through my Vox amp with maximum flanger. Yeeharrrr!

River Blue

I Can't Remember Love (From Queen's Gambit)

Cover from Emmerson Lake & Palmer. All instruments and voices are played by myself. This was the first song ever with a moog syntheziser solo at the end !

前夜 (zenya)

This is my soundtrack for the short film "Hagstone" by the skilled and passionate filmmaker Jamie Hawkins (Side Owl Productions):

As always this is supposed to blend with the images, sounds and dialog. Hence the best experience will be to watch the film as a whole.

For all the composers and sound nerds out there: You might want to have a look at my YouTube shorts where I show a lot of "behind the scenes" material, especially the recorded instruments:

Hagstone (Original Short Film Soundtrack)

I've set the mood.

Presenting "ELARA" - Sisyphus & His Stone (The Perpetual Refresh & The Lagging Connection)

Sisyphus & His Stone is used to describe any effort that is laborious, futile & repetitive.  It highlights the frustration and meaninglessness associated with ELARA's tasks, often encountered in various aspects of her life from work to personal struggles.

Original Lyrics 

I really don’t want to bore you
but then again I can’t ignore you

so its
One step forward
two steps back

Taking two steps forward
Taking one step back

Woke up with the sunrise, a fresh page to write
Left the shadows behind me, stepped into the light 
Had a vision, a clear path, felt the wind at my back
Every stride was a promise, no turning, no looking back 
Built a little momentum, saw the future unfold 
A story of rising, brave and bold 
Thought I'd finally broken free, from the weight I had known 
On solid ground, I thought I'd finally grown

(Chorus)
 But it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back 
Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
Then the phone rings, a sudden jolt, a bill I didn't see 
Or the car breaks down again, just when I felt free 
A whispered doubt from yesterday, echoes in my head 
All the progress I had made, lies broken, unsaid 
The energy drains from my bones, the fire starts to fade 
Another dream postponed, another promise betrayed It's a familiar ache, this sinking feeling deep 
As all the ground I gained, I just can't seem to keep

(Chorus)
And it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control
How many times can I stand up, when the fall feels so profound? 
How many times can I rebuild, on this unstable ground? 
The spirit's weary, the hope is thin, but something stirs inside 
A stubborn whisper, telling me, there's nowhere left to hide 
From this endless push and pull, this fight I have to face 
To find the strength to start again, and run this endless race

(Chorus)
Still, it's one step forward, two steps back, a cruel, familiar track 
Just when I think I'm gaining speed, the world pulls me back Like Sisyphus and his stone, forever climbing steep 
Every victory feels borrowed, every promise hard to keep 
One step forward, two steps back, the rhythm of my soul 
Trying to reach the finish line, losing all control

Yeah, one step forward, and two steps back... Just gotta find my way... back on track.

ELARA - Sisyphus & His Stone

Flower'$ Won't Grow

Copyright Nat Daniels / GRR 2025
Just a simple experimental Country Pop track combining Stratocastor, Fiddle, Church Organ and Acoustic Guitars, along with intricate harmonies. leaning towards some insane choral vocalisation, and a solid country melody..  
a Song about love,  and the need to cut loose and to live a little     .  Thank you for listening xx Nat

Lyrics:

Reaching out with both hands
I see you in my dreams
reliving every moment,
behind the silver screen

(Verse)
Touch me where the heart lies
Like the sun would never set
Take me to forever
Where our souls have always met
  
(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As I'm waiting through the Night
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you 
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

 (Verse)
Running fingers linger
Down the pearls of my spine
Bodies intertwining 
Like the sun,  moon and sky 

(Verse)
Kisses on my shoulder
Running breathless everywhere
And Im swept into this dream  
With no beginning or an end

(Chorus)
The hours hold no meaning
As im waiting through the Night 
I will hold on 'till I see you 
If it breaks the morning light
'Cause every moment with you
Is where I want to be
Take my hand and steal away with me

Steal Away With Me

Steal Away With Me - Nat Daniels

Solo acoustic rock n roll! 🎸🎤

I am a solo guitarist mainly playing acoustically. I am a rock n roller with folk, country, blues, jazz and classical influences. It could be summed up as cowpunk.

I have written two songs, Mexico and Solution, and have also written a number of instrumentals. As I don't have many songs of my own, I like to learn to play standards so I have developed a bit of a repertoire.

All originals are copyright. 

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it! This is NG, bluesing out!
