“30 Years” Music and lyrics by Danny Hauger        www.dannyhauger.com

I know that I’ve been waiting here

30 years to come along.

In the spotlight I’m standing here.

There’s a lot on the line.

A fabric so old as time,

Intertwined.

 

Bring yourself a lumineer,

A firefly to bring you light

A Guster here, and a Gin Blossom.

Were never known to tell you lies.

 

And if you think that you’re heartstrings are pulled,

Your marionette that just won’t dance

Your paint a picture of a day gone by

You lose yourself in that trance

That’s where your at.

“Wandering and Waiting” Music and Lyrics by Danny Hauger  Copyright 2017

Key of E Major

Instrumental available on YouTube Playlist “Acoustic Duets” on DannyHauger’s Channel

There’s a season for the words I have to say,

There’s a reason why the world’s about to change.

But I could keep it all away from my mind,

If I could just see you walk by.

Only two of us are in this world,

One of them’s intrigued by this girl.

I can hope you’ll see how I am,

Believing there’s a chance to begin.

I’ve been wandering and waiting for you,

Humbly contemplating to you

Why am I still understated to you?

Hopelessly devoted, devoted to you.

Never wanted to seek adventure,

Rarely wanted to hear the truth,

If I had ventured outward,

Maybe you would be the proof.

“Before the Afterthought” Music and Lyrics by Danny Hauger

Im sympathetic for the causes you run,

I don’t have the shoes on my soul to keep up.

Before the afterthoughts critique your makeup

These are not the only times i miss.

Think about the lonely times not with you.

These are not the only times I miss you.

Think about the lonely times not with you.

And I feel like I can make a stand

Even if its not the one you hoped or you planned.

If it’s my own life, then can I make it my own?

Does it mean the house we shared can not be our home?

These are not the only times i miss you.

Think about the lonely times not with you.

These are not the only times I miss you.

Think about the lonely times not with you.

Bass guitar roll call with a spacy blue pad and reverb drum kit. This is a slow groove. I stayed the urge to layer a dozen synth or keys on top, instead, just 2. Mainly one lone Bb keybaord to set the tone for the track. Most of the melody is actually carried out by the bass guitar, which is unusual for my studio, I hope you like the track! Its the 5th free song of the year! Danny Hauger Here in Spirit Instrumental Free Song a Week #5 of 52 2017 #SongaWeek Challenge.

Today I spent an hour in studio trying to work up a style that I enjoy listening to a lot, but with my own signature twist. Even though I consider myself to be an independent musician, an indie sound usually is more hip, cutting, and edgy than the laid back and reflective flavor my music normally takes shape into. I started with bass today and a simple drum pattern that builds throughout the song to really generate a more indie feel to the song. I like the way it turned out, although this is just a first micx, the instrumental performance was pleasing to me. I hope you will enjoy it to. I'll also be posting the instrumental only version for listening.

I guess my cajon has been making phone calls to my half Mexican side, because tonight I was pulled into this four-chord jax progression that was begging for an open-air instrumental session. It was recorded simply and efficiently using a Samson USB mic on the cajon tapa, and two tracks with my acoustic guitar. I really liked the jazz style groove of the isntruments together. I'm still a total novice on cajon, but I even managed to work in a left foot slide up and down the tapa. Listen close for it when the chords change to the bridge bit. I really had some fun recording this, and I am headed directly back to the Friday night studio session to try and work in some lyrics if they can come about naturally to add to the guitars. Wish me luck, and thanks for listening!

The song a week (#SongaWeek) Challenge continues to week 4. Help me grow my music in 2017 by downloading free music? Good deal right? This week is a semi-psychadelic feeling acoustic and electric groove called "See the Sun", about going outside. Who would have thought in the booming Industrial Age of America or the steel revolution that we would one day right a song about getting away from computers to go see the sun? Well, we're here, and today I did, it was a gorgeous day in San Francisco at the Maritime Museum and Hyde Street Pier! Then I came home and finished this song, and I hope you enjoy it!

“Come Outside” Music and Lyrics by Danny Hauger

I was a fold into a crescent,

I was a petal on a rose out in the rain.

And i’m not here to hurt you.

I’m not here to hurt you.

Come outside and see the sun.

Don’t stay inside and hide from everyone.

Come outside, and have some fun.

Come outside,....

There’s a chill in the winter wind.

I feel the season changing again.

How many more are we guaranteed?

How many lives are we gonna lead?

Come outside and see the sun.

Don’t stay inside and hide from everyone.

Come outside, and have some fun.

Come outside, and you can see, see the sun.

On January 21st, my old buddy and one of my early guitar influencers Greg Kettelhake came into studio. We were hoping to get in an acoustic jam session like old times. We did. Actually, within the very first chord progress we strummed out, we had the basis for a brand new acoustic song. In the key of E Minor, we began to develop and hash out a two guitar solo, recorded one take a piece. It can't get more simplistic than that. We liked the interplay of the two guitars and panned them to separate channels. Greg jammed on the cajon, and in30 minutes or so we had a complete piece, named "Owl Gray". Enjoy and thanks for supporting the podcast.

Inspired by a few takes I did with a heavily hacked John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival type vocal, I ranw ith the idea of a similar Western Rock influence for this which really plays ona  country-esque chord progression. Some lap steel would have gone great into this carnival tune. Sounds like something I want to play at a County Fair performance one day. I really got caught with the hook and had to go record it, even though I was actually in the middle of building a sound proof box for my voice overs. Everything had to be halted to get this song made in the middle of the day, and it was worth it. I hope you enjoy "Out of Trouble", its a song about the trade off for family from the days of wild action to the days of routine traction. Thats a pretty catchy line, I'll have to remember it in case we ever have an interview about this one. Thanks for listening everyone! I loved recording this one start to finish, it was a lot of fun!

“Out of Trouble” Words and music by Danny hauger, Copyright 2017

I challenge you to tell your best story,

Try and entertain the room.

I’ll have you beat at every moment of glory

But no one to go home to, when all the partying is through.

I’ve been wasting all my time/lfe

I’ve been staying home at night.

I’ve been changing all mys trips, so I, can stay out of trouble.

So if you’re tired of all your solo mornings,

When you’re left with your head aching.

Trade your limousine for my Toyota Camry

Ride yourself in routine, that never ends.

I’ve been wasting all my time (And who I used to be)

I’ve been staying home at night. (So you can be with me)

I’ve been changing all mys trips, so I, can stay out of trouble.

Today we tracked some freeways and took a trip to Berkeley, CA. My good buddy Matt Aguire stopped by the studio and for the first time in more than 10 years, we recorded a brand new song. Unplugged, acoustic, and in one solid take, we recorded the guitar rhythm and cajon into a fun and upbeat acoustic song. Tomorrow my YouTube Channel will feature a full mix, but enjoy the first studio cut of "Anywhere you Want (Cruising 101"! Thanks for listening and supporting the podcast!

“Cruisin Down 101” by Danny Hauger and Matt Aguire

Crusin’ down,

101,

Got the top down,

In the sun.

Cross the bridge,

To your town,

To pick you up when you’re feeling down,

(When you’re feeling down) Feeling down.

From Saratoga to Santa Cruz.

I’ve been out here looking for you.

From Monterey to Cambria,

I just can’t find you.

From San Francisco to San Jose,

You’ve been out there trying to find yourself

From Santa Barbara up to SLO

Anywhere you want, we’ll go.
