The Danny Elliott Band

The songs on here are unfinished scratch versions from my forthcoming album and a couple of older tunes tooThe truth be known i'm not one for bigging myself up. I've had a pretty crazy life, done a lot of things and have had a lot of stuff to get out of my system, hence the song writing. I don't know what I'd do without it. I certainly don't understand how people deal with all of life's shit without having some kind of creative release. I guess that's why people go out at weekends and get smashed out of their faces. It's a release I suppose, not very positive, but a release all the same Writing a biography? Hmm, I've given this much thought and have come to the conclusion that people aren't really interested. Everyone is far to worried about themselves to be bothered about some guy's history, especially an unknown. I think the music speaks for itself. If people like the groove or relate to the lyrics of a song in someway that's enough. I mean, I could go into great detail about how I got to this point in my musical life, but at the end of the day people will see and feel the music from their own perspective anyway. I mean who wants to know about the shit someone has been through to be able to write the songs the way they do. I do what I do because I have to and because I love doing it. If I didn't, I'd go mad. It's as simple as that. Fuck all the cobblers about 'The up bringing he had was an alternative one that was diverse which gave him a different outlook on life'. Or 'He suffered so much pain and anguish at the hand of a torturous life' it's all flannel. The truth is I have a great life. I'm free to do as I please, I have two amazing kids, great friends, a supportive family, a good job and a promising future. what more could I ask for? I realised what life is about and I'm going to live it. I'd suggest you all do the same. Think of others, try not to be too self obsessed as many of us are and be happy. Life's short and should be treasured Love and luck to everyone Danny. X
