about

Series Notes:
All the "Home Sessions (Raw Singles)" series of recordings follow the parameters of making live music. Each song is performed and recorded live, in one take. Sometimes other musicians join in on the song, sometimes Daniel plays and sings alone. Either way, there is only a single track, no doubling up, no layering.

"Gonna Need A Witness" was written the week prior to Valentine's Day, 2015. This cold, dark Ohio Winter got me down a little bit, and despite how silly a holiday like Valentine's Day seems at times, I found it was good to stop and think about love.

Andrew Miller and his banjo joined me for this song. He learned on the fly and we recorded two takes. This is the better of the two.

lyrics

I'm gonna need a witness
There are so many things to share
Memories are more vivid when there's someone around
Someone who's almost always there

I'm gonna need forgiveness
For all the mistakes I make
For trouble, heartache, struggle and pain
Forgive me, forgive me, for all that I take

I'm gonna need a friendship
Someone who'll listen in
Tell me stories and I'll tell you mine
Time after time after time after time

I'm gonna need some truth
In a world that just don't seem right
Show me what's good, show me what's not
And when it's all stripped away just what have we got

And I'm gonna need you honey
When the nights get cold and long
When we take to the highway or take to the sea
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
