Wait A Million Years (cover) by Durge published on 2023-03-15T16:47:57Z Written by Gary Zekley & Mitchell Bottler and recorded famously by one of my favorite bands of the 60s/70s (The Grass Roots), "Wait A Million Years” has lingered in my teenage memory and finally gets a quick treatment here. Once again I did a first pass test on my iPhone and grew attached to its raw simplicity despite the rough recording. I subsequently added a vocal harmony and some harmonica accents. Then my Daniels & Durgy partner, Nat Daniels, got her hands on it to lend a hand with some bass, percussion and other editing improvements so that I might offer it here without too much embarrassment! I'm pleased with the results but welcome any comments on this considerable twist on the original Grass Roots version. My great thanks to Nat for her invaluable assistance on this solo track.

But I will say, this is lovely, and it carries for me a sense of nostalgia even though I did not know the song. All the additions by both of you to the original recording are ace. 2023-03-20T12:31:03Z Comment by Tony's Lyrics Really nice work on this cover Durge! 2023-03-20T02:08:18Z
