Song of faith for the faithless.

sometimes

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know i feel
time has slipped away

when i can't sleep
shadows cast deep alone
no one hears you cry

tell me that hear me won't you
show me that there is a hand to hold
out here
oh, show me that you know me won't you
give some kind of sign
to show the way
from here

still i'm so glad for you

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know it's real
and i'm not afraid to fly
when i can't see beauty
down deep i fear
that none of this is real

tell me that hear me won't you
show me that there is a hand to hold
out here
oh, show me that you know me won't you
give some kind of sign
to show the way
from here

still i'm so glad for you

sometimes i go elsewhere
i know i feel
time has slipped away

Just A Dream Away

Hills & Glens
(traditional)

V1
'Tis Nova Scotia is my home
I love it as no other
Where man is free to ply his trade
And each to each his brother.

Chorus
The hills and glens that I love well
The rolling surf that charms me
The lake with speckled trout lie still
And all is peace around me.

V2
In summer warmth and winter cold
In fog and storm and sunshine
What 'ere it's mood my heart is here
And will remain for all time. (Chorus)

Repeat V1 +Chorus

Ending
My home... Nova Scotia... is... my home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This track is a  performance of a re-imagined, Nova Scotia folk song, arranged and performed by Susan McBride. The traditional version of 'The Hills and Glens' was collected by Helen Creighton and is part of the famed Helen Creighton Collection. In providing Nova Scotia content in her curriculum during her teaching career, Sue taught this song to many children in the province.

Hills And Glens

Un Canadien Errant (A Wandering Canadian)

V1 French
Un Canadien Errant
Banni de ses foyers
Un Canadien Errant
Banni de ses foyers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays etrangers
Parcourait en pleurant
Des pays etrangers.

V2 English
Once a Canadian lad
Exciled from hearth and home
Once a Canadian lad
Exciled from hearth and home
Wandered alone and sad
Through foreign lands unknown
Wandered alone and sad
Through foreign lands unknown.

(Flute Interlude)

Repeat French
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Un Canadien Errant is a beautiful, traditional, French folk melody adopted by the Acadians. I adapted and arranged the instrumentation with snare drum, violin, and flute to reflect the history of the song and connection to Nova Scotian History. Antoine Gérin-Lajoie’s lyrics were informally adopted by the Acadians beginning in 1844, in the context of the Acadian deportation 1755-62.

Un Canadien Errant

(C) 1999 This is a redo of a Track I wrote around 1985. All instruments are real except I programed the drums.
Guitar, Bass And Vocals by Robert Grigg.
A song about heartache and loss. We've all been through it!

Feelin' Bad

Although this song was written by me about one of my most loved places in the world, I heard Nat sing it when we were figuring out how to present it, and I just had to have her stick with the lead vocals as she sings it so beautifully, even though she has never set foot in the great Mountain State (now she wants to!). So we just changed "she" to "he" and it all fell into place. It tells the story of someone who has watched a lover leave and seeks solace in the Wonderful and Wild of West Virginia. The state became a bit of a passion for me since I first visited our friends in Keyser when I was still a boy. And it still represents a place of reflection and spirit to me. A place where one can find themselves and answer the deeper questions perhaps. And that's what happens in this song. It celebrates the wonders of this beautiful place even while it describes the complicated challenges of this world. This is dedicated to the entire Campbell family, without whom I'd not know the beauty I've tried to capture in this simple song. I especially want to recognize Margaret & Richard as the head of that Campbell clan, bless them both in heaven. As long as there are mountains and rivers in West Virginia, their memory will live large.

Lyrics;
Hey, West Virginia, I’m crossing your state line
It’s me again, hello old friend, it’s been a long, long time
Four windows open, to feel your mountain air
To breathe you in, rememberin’, the child in me out there
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
I know he’s leaving, I just came to tell you so
These backroads lead me back to me
To watch your Greenbrier flow
Yeah, he’s moving on now, you knew long ago
It’s what I do, so much like you, 
They come, they love, they go
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
He loved my stories, and sunshine, wind and rain 
But like before, he’s found the door, and here I am again
Hey West Virginia, the tall grass crickets call 
The stars appear, much closer here
You catch ‘em when they fall
You always catch me when, I fall
You always catch me when,
You always catch me when, I fall

Back To West Virginia

Angel - COMBSTEAD / Robert Grigg

On a smooth sandy shore, near the blue ocean’s roar,
Stands a music cabana with a worn wooden floor,
There the bright music dwells, floating in on the swells,
People come to play and listen while they pick up some shells.
You can hear the accordion leading the chorus on,
Mixed with the mandolin, making the neighbour grin,
There’s a cowboy harmonica, weeping behind it all,
And the sweet guitar strums as the grey sailor hums.

At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na
At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na.

Hear the lilting piano played by the lovely soprano
Who sighs at the melody the fiddler begins,
There are kids having fun, beating all kinds of drums,
And the standup bassman jams like he’s all fingers and thumbs.
You can hear the accordion leading the chorus on,
Mixed with the mandolin, making the neighbour grin,
There’s a cowboy harmonica, weeping behind it all,
And the sweet guitar strums as the grey sailor hums.

At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na
At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na

There’s a boy playing banjo, that he shares with a hobo,
And a crazy cat who’s blowin’ sax like he’s strictly alone,
Then a young man from Cuba arrives with his tuba,
Gonna start a brass section with his friend on trombone.
You can hear the accordion leading the chorus on,
Mixed with the mandolin, making the neighbour grin,
There’s a cowboy harmonica, weeping behind it all,
And the sweet guitar strums as the grey sailor hums.

At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na
At the Music Cabana, Music Cabana, Music Cabana na-na-na

On a smooth sandy shore, near the blue ocean’s roar,
Stands a music cabana with a worn wooden floor,
There the bright music dwells, floating in on the swells,
People come to play and listen while they pick up some shells.
People come to play and listen while they pick up the shells.

We Will Miss You When You're Gone

Okay guys! I won't mention what language it is I included in this song. I actually wanted the song to be entirely in the language (yeah the language cos I'm not mentioning it😁 try guessing and let me know your answers no google please😁)  
When I started, I met a native speaker of the language. I told him, "I'm writing a song in your language" He replied, "What!" I laughed but repeated it and what he said next was, "Blunders"🤣😁
That made me forfeited the idea with hope to improve and research more before I execute my idea. I have been writing a song in Spanish language, it's two years now, that song hasn't been completed. I kept postponing to execute my idea with this phrase, "I can do better"  constantly following.
"Perfect songs are made in heaven", Said my Song writing Professor. "You are here waiting to write perfect songs when others are winning awards with imperfect songs" he used to tell us.
Well, you get the drift. Perfect or imperfect I tried something different this time and I hope you like it. Have a nice start to the week, guys!

KOCHAM CIĘ

Verse 1

Home alone!
Looking at my phone
I know this sounds so crazy
But everything feels so hazy
Just looking at your lovely face
Oh, I'm humbled by your grace

Will dial you, maybe
And call you, "Baby!"
Sounds so cheesy 
But you make me feel dizzy
Make you my first lady
Then we'll soar high in the sky
And shut the town down

Pre-chorus

If I don't say, I love you!
Then when would I do?
There's no better moment than now
What I'm feeling is true
It's running me through
I Won't hush this time around

Chorus

Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię!
Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię

Verse 2

Lovely one
Oh, precious gem stone
When you smile its just sweetness
Oh gosh, you're my weakness
You take my breath away
And make brand new my day

Cześć Malenka
Hej Ślicznotko
Księżniczko...hej hej hej hej
Śliczne oczy
Wspaniała
Piękna dama... Świet..Świet..Świetna

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge

I so much love it how you call me
Then I go bright like fire work in the sky
I so much love it how you look me
It powers me and shoots me high

Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię!
Ko ko ko ko ko ko kocham cię


it's what I'm feeling...I'm feeling
it's what I'm feeling...I'm feeling
...what I'm feeling...what I'm feeling...what I'm feelinnnnnnnnnng

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

i was a little kid, and now im grown
its been a while ive been on my own
i tought i knew a lot of things about life
but nothing close to what we call right
the more you learn the more you know you dont know
humble yourself, prepare for tomorrow
help one another, remember each other
we re all ending up facing the mightyy father

ive got faith in my soul, say i and i need no throne
ive got love in my home, im not alone im not alone im not alone

people use to tell me if you want to be free
you have to work a lot and look up for money
the time you have in life is worth than gold
you ve gotta think twice before you get bold
dont you be afraid in the valley of shadow 
you can brake that stone with just one blow
they will call you maybe
they will call you crazy but

ive got faith in my soul, and i dont need no arrow
ive got love in my home, i dont care if you follow

Yes I

Im not alone

Some Fun Every Single Day

What you need
Is a stable boy
Yeah you need someone
You can rely on
Yeah you need someone
Who'll bolt the stable door
Before the last horse has gone

And love it's such a cheesy song
But we've all got to sing along
Yeah love is blind it's plain to see
That love will never let us be

What you need
Is a stable boy
Yeah you need someone
Someone who isn't me
Yeah you need someone
Who'll bolt the stable door
Before the last horse has gone

Tin Whistle - Nat Daniels
Bag Pipes - Donald P Hicks   -  Our profound thanks to you Don!!
Written by Craig Durgy
 
For those that have occasion to think back on "the one that got away". Imagining that other person today, wondering what might have been and what has actually happened over the years since. This wistful, original song is done in traditional folk style with an Irish/Celtic feel. Let your guard down a moment and go with the contemplation, for better or worse, a brief indulgence as Saint Patrick's Day visits us once again...only to drown our lament and fancy in Guinness and whiskey. Many thanks to our good friend Don Hicks for his wonderful bagpiping on this song.

Lyrics:

Darling Where Are You Now  - by Craig Durgy

Where are you now, is it too far away
Will the distance allow, you to say
To say you remember, when there was no doubt
Just an ember, oh where are you now

Have you really forgotten, did you really move on
Did life take you to, where I am gone
Do you sometimes imagine me,  some day some how
Or abandoned me, where are you now

The heart’s a good soldier, as time marches on
But wiser and older, seems wrong
The days melt like candles, but one won’t burn out
As my heart rambles, where are you now

Did the mountain Laurel bloom like a sunrise at noon
Did your eyes shine like light from the moon
Do our promises echo like birds in the clouds
Have you let go, oh where are you now

If we came face to face, would we smile and embrace 
Or has love disappeared with no trace 
When your memory’s near I may, wish you could hear me say 
Darling, oh where are you now

Chances

Darling Where Are You Now

I witnessed a friend going through a really tough patch, to the point he had lost the plot... His family saved him. It made me think how important it is to have family friends and loved ones, who you know are there for you through thick and thin.

Won’t Be Lost With You – Per Ploug 2021

V1
On a planet of blue light
Floating in galactic might
Circling round a tiny star
Beside a million other ones
I’m a little lost
In the scale of it all
I’m a little lost
Have I reason to stand tall

V2
An insignificant lump of rock
A speck of dust among the lot
Time is nothing but a blink
Does it matter what I think?
I’m a little lost
In the scheme of all things
I’m a little lost 
Should I care of what tomorrow brings?

Chorus
Well You, you bring me right back to Earth
You make me see for what it’s worth
And plant me firmly on the ground
Yes you, you give me purpose love and life
You are my universe in sight
Won't be lost with you tonight

V3
When lights go dim and times are hard
You are my ever-guiding star
When trees are blocking out the wood
You make sure I come out good
I’m a little lost
When I can’t find peace of mind
I’m a little lost
When hope and dreams don’t take flight

Chorus

Won't Be Lost With You
