"To the Heavens" by Dano
Chords | C | E7 | F | C G |
I've called you here today, to listen
to the silence that's between us
I'm asking you to stay, and hear me
without my words
And we could gently, close our eyes to violence
Reach out for hands and raise them to the heavens
To the heavens, to the…

"Snow Falls and Icicles"
I took a number from the avenue,
and waited for a stream to carry me, to the town
Where the reeds are waving,
and where the wheat is always tall, tall and strong
Where snow falls and icicles...call
Where snow falls and icicles...call
I bought a ticket to see a native chief,

iurie said… - Dear Dano, thank you for your beautiful music. I suggest you to place( compress ) your music also in Ogg format, the quality will be better.
Ogg video and audio files now play without plugins in Firefox, Google Chrome, and other browsers, so the player you have seen on my site is a default browser player :) - just use HTML5 and tag.
Ogg Vorbis is free audio format not restricted by patens and sounds better than PM3, if It is compress down to a smaller size than MP3.
Visit www.playogg.org or http://www.vorbis.com/
I hope next time it will be possible download your music from danosongs.com directly in Ogg format. :)
Best regards
Install Firefox - if you use Firefox just click on the right button of mouse and download :)

Martin Vos said… - Hello Dano. Thanks for some great sounds! I've used them in a couple of motorsport films I've just uploaded, and they really make the movie come alive. Hope you enjoy seeing how your music is used in different ways. Thanks for being generous enough to share these tracks - much appreciated. Grumpy Git, UK.

Rob Chuah said… - Hey Dano, Yeap I am the member of the warrior forum. I actually wanted to contact you to figure out a way to thank you for your music, which as you've seen, is now being used as the video promotional material. I am still pretty new to this and let me figure out if there is a way to send you private message.

Daneeta Loretta Saft said… - Hey Dano. Just wanted to give you the link of a little PSA we did for a non-profit here in New Orleans in which we used your music. They have just launched their Gulfsouth Youth Biodiesel Project whereby they turn used cooking oil (and boy do we have a lot of that down here with our fried foods) into biodiesel fuel. The link on Youtube is here:
