Nat came up with this lovely piano track and we let it sit for a while before I finally gave it a try with some words and my take on a melody to start it off. Nat then wrote her half of the lyrics and we harvested this somewhat ultimate ode to love between two soul mates. It accents the journey through failures and disappointment to finally connect with the lasting fulfillment. The happy comfort of finally reaching home.
Lyrics
You Are My Home by Craig Durgy & Nat Daniels 

I….. was lost till I found you
With the light all around you, that made us connect

 I……..was drawn ever nearer
Like a child to a mirror to truly reflect

You….conquered the blue and the dark
I….let you through to my heart

Now, I will be yours always
I will be yours always, to the end of days…..

Eyes that calm, my heart within your palm
Sweet, hold me complete, you are my home
I’ve found my home
Dar-ling you, passion so deep and true
All that I hold on to, you are my home

All my Life, I felt so unaligned, 
Outta step …outta time, ‘till you came along
 
Now each breath, is light from the day we met,
The comfort of you has left, me a prisoner of Love

There, is no one but you for me.
Nights I searched, would always lead you to me.. And I..  to you.

Darling you.. complete me in every room
That’s found in my solitude … a heart not alone
For you are my home… Oh you ARE my home.

You Are My Home

Forgiveness Dub

Ever felt like life is passing you by?

You're just crossing off the days?

Ticking down the time?
_______________________________________________________________

Ticking

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog come down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.

If Wishes Were Fishes by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

modern day

photos are memories I keep within my mind
stored in the basement in a crate I’ll never find
songs are the stories and the places I have been
authored before this mental knot I’m tangled in

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears

poets and prophets weave our words into their art
read in dramatic mien and spoken from their heart  
unseal the parchment let the words escape their cage
left with a book with seven hundred empty page

styles we made are old and frayed 
where all the past is filed away
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
the sky is wet with ink

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears
modern day is bland and beige
remembrance of the golden age
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
my heart is black as ink

Modern Day

This song is a tribute to beautiful lives cut short. Back in November 2022 last year three University of Virginia football players were shot and killed by a former teammate as they returned from a trip to see a play in Washington DC. It happens all too often in this country. These three were outstanding young men much loved and mourned by the community.

The amazing Ceci Wynans paid tribute in song at their memorial service:  https://youtu.be/VLA6biZDTx0

The art is a painting by D'Sean Perry, one of the three young men lost. 

This is song is sung from the imagined perspective of their parents.

Brother Gone

I still see a little boy running hiding from me and laughing then
I'd like to think that losing you had some higher reason in the end
but how can anyone know how hard it is to let you go

you were the one who always knew everything is in God's hands
but you're not here and it's so hard to understand

just look at all these people standing here
calling out your name
this would be the happiest day of my life if you were here by my side
instead all I've got is this heartbreak and pain

how was I to know it'd be the last time
that I'd see your shining face next to mine
they can take away the good years that should've been yours to claim
but they'll never take away the good man you became

I'll always see a little boy running hiding away from me
but this time you're not coming back
and I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna live with that

God I need some peace of mind
I hope that it isn't far away

Brother Gone

Earth & Sky - Tea R. Sea collab with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary)

So this was going to be a nineties throwback petshop boys style piece. I could never get it right, it's such a nihilistic piece. This is a very rough version, two takes on the piano, and a few takes on the vocal.

Let’s go, just you and I, 
while the world still dreams below the starry sky
Down the lonely street into an empty town 
From our mindless sleep on to Hallowed ground

I always thought there would be time
but i watched it slip away before my eyes
Yet we had time for our goodbyes
Looking out, at the edge of the demise

Without you here, what would I be?
Within your arms, you comfort me
You keep me close, 
you set me free!

It doesn’t end with a whimper or a bang, 
We just slowly fade to black from where we came
It doesn’t end in flood or fire,
It all just simply falls to our desire

will there ever be another?

A Love Song From The End Of The World

To the Hilltops of Toledo

Ballad For Two Guitars

I've been writing poetry, songs(R&B, soul, country, love songs, breakup songs, and everything in between....I played my all-natural acoustic, and combined the lyrics a couple songs(with a little editing) I wrote back in 2016. I was 30-31. Life was a lot different. I've learned so much since, humbly speaking. ➡️❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥....through experiencing suffering, loss, grief,confusion, pain, "The blues",  one can use it and BLASTOFF! Or one can stay there and live a sad, unfulfilled, victim-hood type of life..

not me. Not Dylan James Sweet

Much Love from hot and sunny 🌞 Arizona. enjoy....thanks for listening! means a lot
