New versions of songs

Daniel — Mon, 07 May 2007 02:10:07 +0000

Many of the recordings on the site are getting quite old, and in a lot of cases, i’ve either recorded new version sof the songs, or have made significant changes at the mixing/production level. So… I thought it was time i uploaded the newer tracks, even if no-one will really even notice.

There should be new versions of A little further, Doll House, Gone but not forgotten, Lost at sea, Seasons, Every Single Day.

I also randomised the song list to the right, and added links to song lyrics from the music pages… (which is very cool - in a dorky way - even if I do say so myself )

Doll House

Daniel — Sun, 06 May 2007 18:46:17 +0000

Where do I begin?
I took your set of keys and let them let me in
And how did this work out?
I climb the step ladder to the top of your house

There’s our old address and your doll house
Some old photographs with your boyfriend scratched out
There’s our old address with the lights out
Some old copied cassette tapes scattered all about

Where do I begin?
Take a cardboard box and let it all sink in
Or pour myself a drink
In the kitchen where theres still unwashed dishes by the sink

There’s our old address and your doll house
Some old photographs with your boyfriend scratched out
There’s our old address with the lights out
Some old copied cassette tapes scattered all about

Every Single Day

Daniel — Sun, 06 May 2007 17:47:52 +0000

Wait up, I’m all turned around
And I’m sure I saw the moonlight,
fall towards your town
I really can not say,
but i think i’ve run a-ground.

Caught up on you, i’ve found
And i’m sure i heard your heartbeat,
though you barely made a sound
I don’t know either way
But i’m scared its slowing down

Every single day can’t end like this
Every single day can’t end like this

Wake up, in an empty bed
The morning winter sky
was slowly bleeding red
And I really don’t recall
But i think thats how it went

And every single day can’t end like this
I can tell you every day won’t like this

And every single day won’t end like this
I can tell you every day won’t like this

Until

Another set of headlights at the cross street
Another car that drives the other way

I’m not sure why i’m waiting
out here in the rain
Until i see you home again, I’m happy to remain

I hear the sound of footsteps on the sidewalk
But i see the shoes and know you don’t wear grey

I hope you’re getting home soon
I hope that you’re ok
I heard there was an accident on 7th street today

And just as i was headed for the doorway
i see you walking carefree through the rain
Your hair was plastered to your face, and hanging in you eyes
You’d never looked so beautiful to me

I’m now know why i’m waiting
out here in the rain
Until i see you home again, I’m happy to remain
Until i see you home again, I’m happy to remain

I would do it again

Daniel — Sun, 06 May 2007 07:28:01 +0000

I chose my thickest coat
I thought about you as i buttoned it up
The cold still shocked me as i closed the door and left
The new year air stung my throat and burnt my chest

I would do it again
I would do it again

Crossed through town, head down
Watching my own own breath
Walked up main street past your bookstore on the left

I got to thinking, about when I got so old
When did first feel this way, and since when did i notice the cold

And I would do it again
I would do it again
I would do it again, for you

When I reached the river, I shiver - the water was deathly still
Not one ripple, as the ice crept in for the kill

I thought about you, sitting here, watching summer’s rise
I remember lost conversations, i remember your blue eyes

And I would do it again
I would do it again,
for you

Lines

[C]

it seems like a truth, as i understand
And i doubt I diverge from the norm
Nothing will ever go as we planned
But lines do stay where they’re drawn

How are you sleeping and who do you love,
Where will you weather the storm?
Memories will fade like old photographs
Sunbleached, misplaced, and torn

Heaven forbid i got it wrong
Heaven forbid i got it wrong
[Am]
With noone to lead me out of this storm
[G]
Slence will be my only reward

[C]
it seems like a truth, as i understand
We leave this world weathered and worn
Our sight and perception will shift with the sand
But lines do stay where they’re drawn

Over and Over

Daniel — Sun, 06 May 2007 07:24:53 +0000

I don’t have an answer
but i do have a plan
over and over
I’ll do what i can

I won’t need a reason
To stay here with you
Over and over
till our lives are through

I Won’t sink entirely
while i have your hand
over and over
you’ll lead me to land

I don’t have an answer
but i do have a plan
over and over
I’ll do what i can

Windward

Daniel — Sun, 06 May 2007 07:23:44 +0000

Turn the wheel and look to windward
Under skies of persian blue
We watched the waves unfold beneath us,
The dying sun, and drifting moon

And if one day you ever find us,
Though i doubt you ever do…

Turn your eyes and look to windward
Just like you always tried to do
Watch the waves unfold beneath us
Under skies of persian blue

And if one day you ever find us,
Though i really doubt you ever do

On a wind, blowing tireless
Under skies of persian blue
Wathced the wake unroll behind us
The drowning sun and sinking moon

And if one day you ever find us
Though i doubt you ever do,
Come sit here down beside us
Just like you always used to do

Turn the wheel and look to windward
With your eyes of powder blue
Watched the ocean dance beneath us,
The singing sun, and silent moon

And if one day you ever find us
And i hope that you do
Come sit here down beside us
Just like you always used to do
