I felt the wind blowing in straight to my bones; it pierced right through my skin. This storm coming down will shatter my home and tear roots from the ground. My father built this house on dear love with sweat and blood to keep cold out. But crashing thunder broke into his veins as cancer cells. This rain keeps out the light of day, weighs on my heart and sends all hope away. My heavy tears that fall turn into floods that drown all other thoughts. And the weather reports say to hold onto little things; each day is a new day. But I'd much rather say this storm never came our way; that my father still had this health.

Dude I saw you at last years rowans got talent thing where you did so sick acoustic, and ever since then ive been lovin ur music. Do you gig around jersey much with a band?

[danwythoff]

@pb0o6 I used to play around South Jersey and Philly a lot, but it became very difficult to gig around and costly, especially when I'm going to school full time and working part time. I'm trying to get out and play again soon with my new material soon. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for listening!!!!!

dude, germany is with you! tell me please how you play like that and can sing so good? i have even problems with regular chords, haha. tell me please! ps: you're fuckin awesome, dude!

[danwythoff]

@jmrhcp a thousand thank you's to you! You can't even really think about what you're playing when it comes to singing and pluckin at the same time haha. Seriously thank you for your feedback, it means so much to me.

Fantastic. One of my highs in life is discovering new music. It is getting rarer these days that a voice or songwriter hit that magic spot! But Dan's music does just that. Best of luck for the future. From the sunny UK!

@elanaisonfiire the harmonica is in the key of C. Start out with a G Major chord formation with the capo on the 5th fret and go from there. It sounds quite nice.

[elanaisonfiire]

@danwythoff I'll continue spreading the word about you, dear.

Which key is the harmonica in?! I have a few lying around, I'd love to put them to use.

[danwythoff]

@elanaisonfiire as always, thank you thank you thank you for your kind words. i wouldn't mind some fame and more people hearing my music lol I have a new song called "A Day In Winter" you'll be able to cover. Very simple capo 5th fret with like 3 or four chords and just strumming. i'm trying out a new element with that song and that is harmonica! If I don't make a video for that one, I want to record soon, so either way you'll hear it lol

[elanaisonfiire]

Fancy seeing you on my homepage :) Your songs keep getting better.

Maybe one day you'll write a song easy enough for me to cover.

Dan, your lack of fame baffles me.
