Happy Valentine's All you Hardcore believers in Love! 

A beautiful bluegrass/country song recorded by J.D. Crowe, written by Steven F. Brines and James B. Smoak, interpreted here with a simple acoustic guitar, piano, vocals and mandolin complements. A long time favorite that we think was wonderfully suited to Nat’s gentle voice in lead.

Lyrics:

When you say you love me I don’t know what you mean
But it seems like I should
So if I say I’m bruised and torn and other loves have warned me
You won’t mind if this one is for good

I don’t know if I can take it if we can really make it
I’ve never known a love without an end
But if you really think we can then you can share my blanket
And we’ll see what happens then

When your coat falls from your shoulders in a heap upon the floor
And the door behind is closed
I don’t know if I can stand it it’s an awful lot to handle
Taking count of all the things I know

When you say you love me I don’t know what to say
I’m afraid to go along
Afraid that you might hurt me unable to be certain 
Afraid that I might turn and you’ll be gone

So I don’t know if I can take it ..if we can really make it
I’ve never known a love without an end
But if you really think we can then you can share my blanket
And we’ll see what happens then
You are more than a friend...
I guess... we'll see what happens then....

You Can Share My Blanket

Interlude (2020)

This is an oldie of mine that languished on my personal page for years, suffering from a poor recording job and ignorant production (both among my common maladies prior to meeting Nat). I asked Nat if she could help me produce my original recording to improve sound quality and timing issues and she came to the rescue. Despite some egregious issues on my old tracks she generally synced it up, replaced my pathetic bass playing and added some sharp vocal harmonies. Along with some general EQ adjustments it has a new face and I’m much happier with it. I wanted to post it as Daniels & Durgy to recognize Nat’s tremendous contribution. The song laments a duplicitous lover and expresses some notable bitterness.

Lyrics:
She told me, yes she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Yeah, she told me lies, and I cried.

Yes, she told me, she would die for me
When she’d hold me, clearly I could see
We were meant to be

Cause, she told me, that she knew my heart
Heart and soul she, said we’d never part
But now, she’s gone away
Somehow, there’s nothing left to say

Cause she told me, oh, she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Oh, she told me lies, of the crooked truth love buys, and I wonder why

Why she showed me, her most private pain
Love was holy, but she just stopped praying
And now, she’s gone away
Somehow, there’s nothing left to say

Cause she told me, oh she told me lies
Yes, she sold me, on the truth love buys
Oh, she told me lies, just a love disguise
The crooked truth love buys, and I wonder why

She Told Me Lies

Here is my isolated guitar solo track with full orchestra for my title track "The Wheel."
The Wheel is a concept song spanning over 20 minutes long, which I wrote in 2017/2018 and recorded in 2019. I uploaded it to my SoundCloud back in early 2020. Here are the last 4 minutes of the song. The song itself is a finale to an album idea that I had, and this guitar solo acts as the grand finale movement. The Wheel was written, recorded and arranged by Louis Taverna

My Funny Valentine - Solo Guitar by Earnest Woodall

Mes Failles (My Flaws)

For this track I used volca drum for the lofi beat as I've often done lately. Many of the synth lines are made with the minilogue xd, but I also tested out a modern wavetable vst (vital), a type of synthesis I haven't yet experimented with much. You can hear it in the deep resonant line that comes in for the final minute or so. I'm looking forward to further experimenting with it!

The photo is from a  strange national park in Utah called Goblin Valley  that has a lot of interesting rock forms. I spent some time camping with friends there years ago, though I didn't take this particular photo.

Peacemongers

Peacemongers - Billy Korg & winkandwoo

An Easter message? Music against war?All wars are wrought with inhuman threads of unwarranted violence and destruction whether in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Congo or... (place any name of any war at any time in history).
In this one, a special military pox upon Putin and his house and all those who abuse and terrorize innocents and rain destruction upon all those who simply want to live and to exist. Justice? Where? ICC - we hope you're leading the charge for justice, and NATO, EU, UN - don't look away!

 (Don't)Look Away

1)Another day, another day in this war. 
A family man asks - What’s it all for?
Have we forgotten what we came here for? Don’t run away.   

To kill a man, a woman or a child. 
There’s something wrong, wrong in their minds.   
They look to God, but he does what He does best. He looks away. Hey?   

There’s always war in a far distant land
and civilised man goes out to lend a hand.
Holy Lands? Are you having a laugh? 
Laugh away, hey…  laugh away….hey…

(CHORUS)
I CAN SEE THEM ALL - LAGGING BEHIND. 
THEY’RE NOT PART OF THIS - HUMAN KIND
THINGS GOT SLOW, SLOW IN THE HEAD. 
WHY DON’T YOU GO SHOOT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…YAAH

2) Armies are led by those who think they’re right. 
Tell us they want peace.    
To get it they must fight for… the love of God pray how is this right? 
Pray away. 
They say destruction is their means to an end. 
Aim their gun at what once was their friend.
Turn their back on humanitarian trends. Then look away, 
hey… they look away…

(CHORUS)     

(MID BREAK)   
Lay down on your pillow…sleep tight with your greed 
because your safe… you’ll dream… while others bleed…
and you tell me…that God is on your side…you don’t believe it…
and that’s what I despise….
then you look away…
nd then you look away…

3) They shake a fist with a gun in their hand. 
It’s an action only they understand. 
One step away… from a hellish end. 
Shake away… shake - away…  

If there’s a place I could send them all. 
Be deep space, on a hot fiery ball  
Where you can all…Happily annihilate yourselves!                                                                        Then fire away…fire away, fire away…hey…

(CHORUS)

4) One more day is too much in this war. 
The family man asks - What’s it all been for? 
His loved one’s buried with his heart in the floor. 
Please look away…

Look Away


Lyrics
[Intro]

[Verse]
Smoky bar at midnight hour
Whiskey burning down my throat
Your silhouette against the window
Tells a story I already know
Every scar upon my heart
Sings the blues in minor keys

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river bend
Wash away these sins again
Let the current pull me under
Till I find my way back home

[Inst]

[Verse]
Cigarette between my fingers
Ashes falling to the floor
Memories like broken glass
Cut deeper than before

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river bend
Wash away these sins again
Let the current pull me under
Till I find my way back home

Down to the River
