What keeps me awake at night is death. It lurks a round every coner and every person must die at some point. That or the end of the world. I mean just one day and BOOM! its all over every thing the human race made and its gone in one swipe.
The touch of my fingers to the ivory. Now that's worth fighting for.

sandcastles is possibly your best song!
*stands up and applauds*
You are a very emotional person, aren't you? A lot of your decisions and outlooks on life are based on either your emotions, or what you perceive as the emotional interplay of the world.
You write some really beautiful music, you should know.
And yeah, some people are close to my heart, for sure, and my family, my life, my future, stuff like that.
As for what keeps me up at night thinking...well, that's a complicated question. It depends on so many things, such a complex interplay of so many variables, it's really hard to say at all, but usually it's the world. I like to try to get a concept of the world, fit everything into one package without simplifying, trying, above all, to Understand. I guess that's the ideal that everyone's always been searching for. As far as I know no one's gotten there yet. Well, there's a first time for everything.
I like the beauty of the world, music, nature, etc, really brings the heart to emotional states and that can be good sometimes, especially for people like me who spend a lot of their time dug into logic.
Stick with the piano, it's lovely. A few light added instruments can really add to a piece, but don't try to turn it into an orchestra. I'm thinking of River of Eden as I write this, actually I'm listening to it right now, it's incredibly beautiful, touches the soul.
Great pic, btw.
And good luck with everything.
What's closest to my heart? That keeps people awake thinking...
regret...that...um...I couldn't (i don't know...)
(read some of the other comments)
It's touching, you know?
Your music.
I guess it's the feeling....that we understand what you felt when you were writing your music that made us come here. But it's just a guess.
Ah...I think I get what I was trying to write about (from above)
When we make mistakes in our past...and it hurts so much you dream about it... like a friend i couldn't contact over the summer....I had a dream more than once that she popped up and told me a random number...and it happened so much that I was actually tempted to call. I guess it's that feeling, that you regret something that's......i think...connected with people you love...not embarrassment...not that kinda regret....the kind that makes you cry when you know that you just can't die until you...well, for me, find that person. But since it's just for me. that wouldn't make a good song, would it? *laughs* well, I guess, keep on doing what you're doing, since you have the talent and the voice...i'm jealous.
i love the song when i wake. great job!
Dan.
If I had any money to donate I would believe me.
Amateur (I don't think so) or not, we need more music like yours today.
I am so sick of (c)rap there are maybe 2 or 3 rap songs that I could say that don't make me want to barf (no offense to people who like rap).
Your music is about the things that matter, unlike the crap today that is about sin and enjoying it.
As for whats been keeping me up at night. Well...
How's this for a good one:
The inability to tell someone how I feel about them.
Not because I'm unsure about myself, but because I'm afraid that If I say something and they don't feel the same way, not only will I lose them as a life partner, but I fear I'll lose her as a friend as well.
Keep up the great work Dan, this is the stuff that changes lies forever.
I love your music you rock!!!!!
I have download everyone of your songs XD
As Lumarin said yes i too believe you should create more songs like Sand Castle, Just Begun, An Angel Falls and When I Wake those are my favorites.
Please keep bringing your awsome work.
your songs with lyrics stick close to my heart... when i wake still gives me shivers...
Dan, Darlin', Long time no talk, eh?
I see you've been working hard on some new amazing pieces of pure talent. ;3
I love the recent stuff. Amazing doesn't even begin cover it.
When I Wake was...indescribable. You're definately getting better. I thought you were good before...you're soaring now!
-snort- But anyways, as for the type of music, I think both are amazing. Do a bit of both if you want. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that drools over both kinds of music you submit.
Keep it up, Dan! You're going places.
Keep in touch! ~o^
YOU ROCK
well i feel left out. by the time i discovered your pwntasticness you were long retired. that really sucks.....
so dude will you be makeing any more music.....ever. do you still log in?
I really love your music, I used too play piano, but dropped it for another instrument & have been wishing I hadn't ever since. One of the reasons I like your music so much is because you make every note count and truly bring out the best of every instrument in every piece, thank you
Seriossly, man, I've and your fan group here are waiting for another song of you for a long time now but the long waited 50th submission in colaboration didn't came out. We hope you made something really awesome next time.
By the way are serious about asking people for an idea? I mean if you can't feel the song by your self how can you make it real? Wouldn't it be commercial? If you are ok with it I can tell you what keeps me all night awake just say and I'll send you PM.
I love it all, but I'll also just say this.
Ode to Angels is still the #1 played song on my entire iTunes library...after all these years ;P.
welcome back. its been a while since i checked your page and i saw that new post. lucky me. as i cant give you any money to help...imma hobo. tell me if you have any pay per click adds and i shall click it like there is no tomorrow then update my spyware just in case
Well first of all, Canada huh? buddy that's way cool, all of the cool artists always come from Canada. Second, what really drives something closer to my heart is the way people can create sounds that are unique to them from all over the world, and Food, I've always wanted to be a culinary chef, and when I graduate it's that or Psychology, I also like the cognitive sciences and biology. Third, I ponder what my life will be like when I hit like 24, and where will I be at the time, and I stare at the cosmos and all of it's beautiful stars.
Fourth, I love Piano, I have one but I'm just only gonna get better!
And I love the Guitar, acoustics and electric as well as Violins. Pretty much stringed instruments, and a very few Wind Instruments oh, and I also love the Xylophone, that is a cool instrument!
I would like to contribute an idea for one of your next songs, okay so here it goes:
I know that there is music from all over the world that almost sounds I don't know, Interesting, but play what you feel is beautiful to your heart and that is the most beautiful of all creations. Play with your soul, and then that is a sure fire way to get a record deal, your young, let it all play out!!!!

Hmm, i like your piano and voice personalty, but the theme i'm going to suggest would need more and probably no voice. I love rain, just hearing an instrument's/musician's interpretation of it. So if you get lost on what to make there ye are.
