DANIEL NIX

Song by Daniel Nix & Loderick Matthews

Musicians:
Guitar – Loderick Matthews
Bass/Vox – Daniel Nix
Percussion — George Esquivel
Drums – Earl Darling

The first song that Loderick and I wrote together before forming Shaken Not Stirred. The first song we ever cut in a studio. First song we ever had played on the radio. Funny note: Loderick and I love 6/8 as a time signature and the initial structure came together so quickly we called it “15 Minute Orgasm” until I wrote the lyrics.

Oscillating between religion and spirituality while questioning everything, but knowing it’s all too wondrous to be for nothing.

I have always loved stylized songs. This was my Spike Jones doing Charlie Mingus.

In June of 1989, I was in a very dark place. I wrote this as a poem (and it was typed on a typewriter). When I met Loderick, he added music and we had our second song together.

I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety. This was my catharthis and mantra.

Finding the humor in all the different types of relationships that we all need badly.

This was my feeble attempt to emulate Pat Metheny. It was recorded for a client Christmas album (Spoiler alert:      Greensleeves and What Child is This are the same song.).
