You guys did a great job with this this song. Great history and music.

Timeless song-craft and impassioned delivery!

We bring you tobacco and you mock us in song!!!  Jamestown was a disaster of famine & canibalism.  *Elizabeth the ancient queen had only been dead about 20 years when the London Company founded Jamestown   ;  )    This has a classic feel and could easily be a shanty from 400 years ago -- nice collab guys!

Jeffs understable error is to assume the subject of the song was one of the original settlers. In my mind she arrived in the 1700s when things were more established. Piracy was a big problem  in the area at the time with several executions recorded!

great timeless ballad..could have been written anytime the last 200 years..wonderful story/melody

Very reminiscent of a sea shanty. The backing includes a beat and a harmonica or accordion. The vocalist has a rolicking style. The lyrics tell a complete story.

Great song! Top-notch vocals, arrangement, and production. Love your versatility Del🔥

So lovely vocals and awesome songwriting!

According to the story of Buzz Aldrin during his trip to the moon his vision of "fireflies" through his cockpit.....! Thanks for your listen ! : )                                              Sounds of perfect landing : https://soundcloud.com/blink-twice-archival/sets/ark-dambient-open-collab

LUNAR

Based around an acoustic riff, the song is about how a wave can be the start, or the end of something, and maybe a chance to start again. Produced by Shael Wrinch at Stone Hill studios on Bowen Island, B.C. Chris Herbsen on vocals, Shael doing harmonies and more of that great slide guitar. 
Lyrics:
She waved to say hello, she waves to say goodbye
She left a scent of faint perfume, and clouds in a sunny sky.
Coffee stains and magazines, and a space where she used to lie.
We're livin' here on shifting sands and we're left to wonder why.

I could have stared for hours and hours
at footprints in the sand
It took a wave beyond my powers
to help me understand 
that life come in waves.

Children's laughter fills the room. I hear her laugh and sing.
Faces stored in a picture frame can't beat the real thing.
What's been lost and what's been found, and what we hope to gain
is all that matters in the end, not teardrops in the rain.

I could have stared...

Life Comes in Waves

Now Or Never

John Stone: Music, lyrics, piano, lead vocals

She was born on an isle off an island
In the midst of the Emerald Sea
Her daddy spied a light in her eye
That showed what she was born to be

And they called the girl Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learned
Should be learned again

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia knew that she was loved
But she knew that she was poor
One morning when out gathering
Between the strand and the old sea shore
A pirate blown by cruel fate
Slipped his anchor close to land
When he spied the girl his pirate mind
Thought he’d take the girl in hand

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

He took our fair Virginia
Set course for the Isle of Man
He hoped that on the island
There he could complete his plan
But the ocean storms were brewing
And they blew them out to sea
Till the ship was was smashed on the distant shore
That we now call Cape Henry

And the land was called Virginia..

Now Virginia swam towards the shore
Though the company was drowned
But she gathered strength and she walked the way
that leads to James’ town
Now Virginia saw Virginia
And knew that the land was good
And that she could build a better life
than ever she’d have thought she could

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Now Virginia came with nothing
But nothing was enough
To build herself a better life
Though the going would be very tough
She had an eye for business
And she had an eye for style
And she became the richest soul
In the county by a country mile

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Then one fateful morning
A stranger came to town
She saw at once the hated face
Of the man who’d tried to drag her down
A gun was on the table
She held it to his head
And as he begged for mercy
This is what the lady clearly said

“You brought me to Virginia
Named for an ancient queen
Who knew how to fight in a world of men
And the lessons learnt should be learned again
Its true that life’s been good to me
Since you took me from my home
But leaving all that I held dear
That choice was mine and mine alone”

Oh Virginia, Virginia wild and free
Though waters flow and winds may blow
You should be what you were born to be

Virginia  (John Stone + Del Wags)

Let Me Go 
(In memory of my little girl Daisy I just lost)

Lyrics

Mommy it's time to let me go,
I know you heart is breakin'.
You see me everywhere,
in my basket of toys, soft bed I slept in.


I had to rise above this earthly world
and leave all my suffering behind.
Although I hated leaving you,
please know, we'll meet again in time. 

Let me go where I can run free,
my  body healthy and anew.
Picture me the way I used to be,
the way I'll be when next I see you

You gave me such a wonderful life,
and I always felt loved and adored.
I know I made you happy too,
you were my person, and I was yours. 

I know you are crying now,
and don't want to give me up.
The years we spent together
were so precious to this pup.

But now, you need to dry your tears,
and find the strength to let me go.
We'll meet again one day you'll see.
We'll be together forever then.. you and me. 

We'll be together forever then..you and me.


Let Me Go (Original)

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

Luster

Blues about the fall from grace of a former drinking partner.
Lyrics:
Well, well, well,(cough) well, well
So here you are
You're back in the bar
Well, well, well, well
You've been living the life of an eccentric
You've been out there in the realm
Like way out there man
Like gone, like real gone
You'd been living it up downtown
But uptown, you've lost your shine
Hanging around the Garden of Babylon
It's where you left your keys, your heart and your mind
Well, well, well, well
It's the bottom rung of the ladder blues

What did I see?
Out of my peripheral vision
My friend?
They always say:
You always come back to where you begin
You've been living uptown
But downtown, that's right
The money, the money , the money, the money
She never treats you right
C'mon!
Well, well, well, well
The bottom rung of the ladder blues
I hit the bottom rung of the ladder blues

Well, Well, Well, Well (Bottom Rung Blues)

AB MASTERED SONGS

IS THIS LOVE

Del Wags is the music of Dave Wagoner: a collection of homemade tunes meant to please no particular demographic. Dave is a one- man show of rhythm guitar loops recorded in the basement, choruses born in the shower, lyrics written on the couch, and tracks mixed on the laptop (and the occasional cover). Go ahead, tap your feet.

I played only acoustic guitar and harmonica for many years, playing the same covers alone and occasionally with friends. I never thought I wanted an electric guitar or lots of music gear because I didn't want to accumulate more things. In 2019 by chance I obtained a cheap electric guitar from a friend, and my life changed as this new tool unlocked a creative door. During Covid I bought a looper and a keyboard and began teaching myself to play it, and the creative door flew wide open. I challenged myself to ride the learning curve of home computer music production. I re-tapped into my poetry-writing brain from high school and songs began flying out of me. I haven't been this creative since I was a teenager and it's pure joy.

I'm thankful to have a place here to share my creations, make connections with others, and hear so much unique and wonderful music and sound from people all over the world.
