True To You 03:37
Remembering us in full swing and laughing all the time It’s sad to see regretfully our paths no longer wind Our journey from these days has gone to take another ride I’m overcome, I can’t go on, I need you by my side As with everything you’ve come to bring me in the past you’ve tried To soothe me with your calming words and reinstate my pride So thankfully, I’m glad to see how time has kept us true This loyalty means all to me, I owe my life to you People calling out to you People falling down for you People who will see you through People who are true to you Those times when darkness shines more so than light in our short lives We’ve proved to be security upon which we both thrive So whether we’re together or a thousand miles from view I’ll overcome, I will go on, I owe my life to you People calling out to you People falling down for you People who will see you through People who are true to you Like a bird on the wing it’s a wonderful thing I’ve been longing to sing about you my friend Whenever I please, I see you on the breeze I know that you’ll be there right till the end Ain’t it just so, with the way that things go How our fate will just flow, make us rise then descend Fortunate though, through this living rodeo Certain to know that we’ll always depend People calling out to you People falling down for you People who will see you through People who are true to you

Stuck behind an unseen wall Distinguishing nothing at all Outside the boundaries of my barrier Who knows who could be a carrier Of a social disregard Cause I feel as though it’s hard to deal with Slam right through my unseen wall But still I leave unseen your call Persevere with your attempting To steer me from my venting Of your social disregard That I feel is oh so hard to deal with Sorry for not obliging, these streets are a joke Recurring expectance, I don’t smoke Getting to know you, now I sadly revoke My misdirectness, you don’t smoke A tragic scene you soon unfold A wasted dream is all you hold Of all the things in life you’d rather Had surrendered but your father Who died alone and cold By the tree beside the road To think behind my unseen wall Had I left unseen your call You’d have walked the streets for hours For a place to buy some flowers For the funeral this afternoon With an added sense of lonesome gloom Sorry for not obliging, these streets are a joke Recurring expectance, I don’t smoke Getting to know you, now I sadly revoke My misdirectness, you don’t smoke Were you lost inside, indignified, the world’s ignoring With foolish pride I stepped outside to hear your story To be blown away with what you say, anticipating You to provoke me for a smoke, so irritating I don’t smoke. You don’t smoke. We don’t smoke. I don’t smoke. You don’t smoke. We don’t smoke.

Live As Two 04:17
Been thinking to myself lately I’m losing my identity Cause I’ve turned into you and you to me And it worries me now I can see You’re acting like it’s meant to be That I’m so much of you as you are me Do you ever wonder how as one we’ll survive? I never should have loved you, you’ve acquired my life I have always been a part of you I exist the way you want me to Independence don’t come into view Maybe we should try to live as two I’ve longed for your intimacy Appreciate your company But you’re becoming way too much for me I fear that you’ll eventually Completely take my liberty That’s why I must selfishly ask you Do you ever wonder how as one we’ll survive? Wouldn’t it be better to regain our lives? I have always been a part of you I exist the way you want me to Independence don’t come into view Maybe we should try to live as two Live as two, yeah I have always been a part of you I exist the way you want me to Independence don’t come into view Maybe we should try to live as two I want to say to you, I want to say to you That you’re drowning me, I can’t get out away from you Cause you’re constantly beside me even when I want to hide me And I really can’t be spending every day with you I’ll be adding to my vanity but saving from insanity Cause baby it just cannot be this way with you I really wanna feel for you, but in the meantime we just need to Live as two

All the people in the street That you fraudulently greet A psychological defeat But I don’t want to know Still you get ‘em everywhere Rope ‘em in without a care And count the profits that you share But I don’t want to know Don’t tell me so Too many times your word’s been spoken Paper, TV and radio Now on the street the ice you’ve broken Need to move on, you’re hesitating Keeping me here for all I owe Business has gone, cause I’m not waiting Well I don’t want to know So don’t tell me so There’s a hundred deals a day With the strategy you play You’re on a working holiday And I don’t want to know But I’m betting deep inside All you want to do is hide Your integrity will slide So stop with your show Cause I don’t want to know Too many times your word’s been spoken Paper, TV and radio Now on the street the ice you’ve broken Need to move on, you’re hesitating Keeping me here for all I owe Business has gone, cause I’m not waiting Well I don’t want to know So don’t tell me so Too many times your word’s been spoken Paper, TV and radio Now on the street the ice you’ve broken Well I don’t want to know Need to move on, you’re hesitating Keeping me here for all I owe Business has gone, cause I’m not waiting Well I don’t want to know So don’t tell me so And stop with your show Cause I don’t want to know

Romantic movie Where you said to me That everyone must chase their heart Not like that movie You prove right to me That my acting doesn’t suit the part Although I’m ever grateful for all that you’ve done I’ll wait till you say I’m the one, it’s you who I adore Thinkin’ bout the time we’ve spent is more than I can handle But I’ll not be dampened that you drew the line Everyone and everything I meet will never make my life complete Until the day where you’ll be mine Now that you’ve moved on And you’ve found someone To give your love to every day But if that someone Should ever move on Serendipity will come my way Hope you’re ever grateful for all that I’ve done Why can’t you see that I’m the one, it’s you who I adore Thinkin’ bout the time we’ve spent is more than I can handle But I’ll not be dampened that you drew the line Everyone and everything I meet will never make my life complete Until the day where you’ll be mine Thinkin’ bout the time we’ve spent is more than I can handle But I’ll not be dampened that you drew the line Everyone and everything I meet will never make my life complete Until the day where you’ll be mine Until the day where you’ll be mine

Comfort Zone 08:25
Your careless days were not to stay Your childhood has flown away As you begin another day Of work that you can’t stand, but the money in your hand At the end of the day, you only do it for the pay The weekend comes, how glad you are But happiness still seems so far You drink alone beside the bar Thinking back on times you regret you left behind For security of home stuck here in your comfort zone Left here once before, couldn’t take no more I don’t understand what drove you back again Sad and all alone stuck in your comfort zone Makes no sense to me that You’re living your life where you don’t want to be Now bury your fears and fight to break free You pack your bags up once again Assured that this will be the end Get your life back on the mend Move to what will be your place of destiny New job, new life, new soul, whole new opportunity The road looks tough from here but at last your dreams you see And if you survive your fears, you can call yourself free Left here once before, couldn’t take no more I still don’t understand what drove you back again Sad, bored, depressed and hey you’re all alone Stuck here in your comfort zone Now you clearly see You were living your life where you don’t want to be You buried your fears, you fought to break free Life can offer so much more, now Take that risk and leave your comfort zone Once you step outside that door, now A world awaits to call your home A year has passed, you’ve reached your goal Of work and friends and life and soul Out of your shell, out of your hole Thinking back on times that you’re glad you left behind For security of home in your brand new comfort zone…

about

Dan’s debut musical release was his EP Comfort Zone, consisting of six self-penned reflections on life which were independently recorded and produced in 2007 by James North Productions.

Having grown up in rural North Queensland before relocating south to the state capital of Brisbane, this acoustic folk/rock collection looks upon lessons learnt during his country-to-city transition in his early 20’s.

From the harrowing story of I Don’t Smoke thanks to a chance encounter on inner-city streets, through to a missed opportunity for love as told in More Than I Can Handle and onto the coming-of-age title track, Comfort Zone paved the way for Dan’s ongoing musical journey and future worldly travels.
