About David Bonner

I am David Bonner, a singer/songwriter from London England, and have lots of my own songs I want to share with you, if you would be so kind as to have a listen.

They were all recorded at home in 2005 and 2006 on a digital mini studio. It would be good to find out which songs people like the most, assuming you like any, that is !!! I do hope so :-)

Apart from the vocals, I played the instruments myself too, mainly guitars, bass, and a bit of keyboards here and there. I must admit it was hugely enjoyable to produce these recordings, and it's the first time I've ever really had the chance to do so, for one reason or another.

Certain songs, such as e.g. The Earth Below and a few others were actually written in the 1990's, but many of the songs were written much more recently.

I also have a lot more other songs which I wrote in the 90's, you know how it is though, and I'm a little keener on the more recent stuff myself at the moment, so that's why I've included a lot of it.

I guess it's so hard to get enough people to hear your music, but at least this is one way of trying. What I would really love to do is get a live acoustic spot on the Jools Holland show or similar on TV, and then hopefully get some more bookings from that. DB

Here are the lyrics to a few of the songs:

******************************
Give Me Your Love

Give me your love right here right now baby
Give me your love
Give me you love right now - just there baby
See you in the Summer keep me warm in the Winter time

As the days draw in and the nights grow long
And as the Earth spins round the other side of the Sun
I watch the Oceans freeze and feel the North wind blow
If only you would come and keep me warm you’re the one now

Give me your love right here right now baby
Give me your love
Give me you love right now - just there baby
See you in the Summer keep me warm in the Winter time

Then I won’t mind if the days are cold and
As my love spins round the other side of your heart
I watch your eyes as we find our desire by the fire
With the stars shining down from the dark Winter skies

Give me your love….

******************************
Unbelievable Life

Beautiful life, this is, with its sun-filled days
And - those passioned nights - and
All the times when love and warmth were staying your town

Did I forget to mention they�d be moving on sometime?
And that the Winter wind would blow its frozen breath into this place?
And sometimes everyone can feel alone -
Sometimes everyone, can feel alone

And if you cry - just lean on me
Don�t be afraid to let it go - it doesn�t mean that you�re not strong
If you cry - it�s just water flowing downstream in your soul
It's only water flowing downstream in your soul

Unbelievable life, this is, I wouldn�t change it for the world and
It�s such a priceless gift, just to stay alive
And live some more of this amazing journey
But I have to mention there will be hard times - along the way -
To lose the ones we love
And sometimes feel alone -
Sometimes everyone can feel alone

And if you cry - just lean on me
Don�t be afraid to let it go - it doesn�t mean that you�re not strong
If you cry - it�s just water flowing downstream in your soul
It's only water flowing downstream in your soul

My Old Ways

Here I stand, stuck in my old ways
When will I find the strength to change � change
Well I know � there�s many things that I should do
I�ll get round to bit it�s � so hard to find the time � hard to find the time � oh oh

It�s hard to find the time you know when �
I�ve got all these other things on my mind
A daydream and a thousand sunny days
And a deep blue cloudless sky and -
The wonderful life that�s waiting for me
One day I won�t stop believing

Come back down to Earth you tell me
Come and take a dose of this reality
If there was a Heaven � it would know
Just how much � I have tried to change � change

Beautiful dark eyes that light up the night
Reflecting the blue sky in the back of your mind
Try as you might you can�t stop yourself smiling
With your boat drifting on on the waves now

Come back down to Earth you tell me
Come and take a dose of this reality
If there was a Heaven � it would know
Just how much � I have tried to change � change

Marine Life

And so many times I walked into the sunlight with you
From the darkness – you finally emerge
Like a flower – to caress me
And cure me from all that I’ve seen – Cure me from all that I’ve seen

Chorus: I don’t want to see you – when you don’t see me
I don’t want to be with you – when you’re not with me – woh oh oh…

And of all the times I slept under the starlight with you
Like a sunrise – you finally appeared
From the morning to find me
And lead me away from the night – Lead me away from the night

Chorus 2: I just want to love you and feel you inside. I just want to sweep you away on my tide - woh oh...
