After releasing 5 cds with ATOMSPLIT, singer songwriter Douglas James Davenport (aka DSazster) releases an amazing "solo" CD of 16 new songs.The music spans from relationships, to spirituality, to humorous observations (like "Old Rockers, New Records") and each song features multi-layered acoustic guitar, vocal and bass instrumentation.
Songs on the record...01 "You Deep Somehow"It's Springtime. The birds, the bees, the pollen filled trees. Here's a nice and sweet romantic song. It's a chord progression part I've been working on for awhile. But I desparately needed inspiration to finish the lyrics. I found some...02 "She Can't Help"Are you the girl that second guesses everything? Even when things are coming along nicely there's always that lingeringdoubt that the past will repeat itself. Then girl, this is your song.
03 "Thick to Thin"The song speaks to the dilution of a relationship through time. Typically early on you might call one "thick". But then as time takes it's toll. And reality takes it toll. And the Law of Rhythm takes it toll. Etc, etc, etc. You become "thin". You all know what I'm talking about. Think about how many "dead friends" you have out there. Such is the way I suppose.
04 "Next to This"This is a ballad called "Next to This".
Inspired by true abstract life.
Without drama we would have no art right?Have you ever asked yourself when you end up in a good, content place, "what else is there?"05 "Walls No Ceiling"A song about having safety and security,but also the ability to expand one's horizons. Kind of like parents who take care of you and also encourage you to follow your dreams, or a mate who you're totally in sync with but allows you to also follow your goals. Make sense? I think it could also be interpretted as God in away, too. The safety and support of God.
06 "Grateful"Much of life we take for granted. Sometimes when were too deep into things it's good to step back, take a deep breath and feel grateful.
07 "Achin 2B With You"Ah, that feeling of happiness when you are just aching to be with somebody. It overpowers just about every other emotion or mindset you could be in. Relish in it.
08 "Hey Holiday"I was on an outing with Team Husky and the phrase Hey Holiday swooped into my head. And I realized how much I was looking forward to it. Really for one particular reason more than others. So, read the lyrics, listen, and see if you can figure out what I mean. And I sincerely hope there's many of you out there who feel the same.
09 "Bittersweet Valentine"This song is about having faith that there is Valentine out there for you but he or she is not quite there yet. Maybe you met her and haven't quite sealed the deal but you hope too. Maybe it's someone from your past you're no longer with.
10 "Humility"It must be all my spiritual studies of late. I've discoverd - or realized - that humility is a good thing actually. That when you have a troublesome situation it is helpful to admit to humility that you don't know the answer. Then let God or the Universe or fate (whichever is your personal preference) take care of it. Just surrender it. It's a good way to live. 11 "Love is a Four Letter Word"Love is indeed a four letter word! I know I've felt it many times and I'm guessing you have too.
