Maria Daines Band Through the Years ~ Part 1

Hi everyone, Paul and I thought it would be nice to share some pictures and video clips of our time playing live through the years, and our song 'Battle Scars' seems the right background music for this trip down memory lane.
Our band members changed a lot over time, but during the later years, it was always Bob Bampton on bass and Mark Gordon on drums, they are great players and still great friends of ours.
Sometimes when band members couldn't make a gig, me and Paul would play as an acoustic duo but we always preferred playing as a four piece band. We played over 1000 gigs during those days and definitely got the battle scars to prove it haha, so many late nights and long road trips in battered old cars and vans, criss-crossing many counties to get home in the early hours. We have lots more pictures and video clips to share with you, so I will try to make another video of the good old days as soon as I can. We hope you enjoy it. Our grateful thanks to all the photographers who took the time to take pictures and video clips for us-and especially to our friend Bill Pearson, a great photographer who was, and still is, always there for us with his perfect sense of art, expertise and talent. And to our wonderful Brenda Oakley-Carter and Paul Oakley, they managed to get some great video clips that we treasure and they always made every gig better just by being there and lending their support, hugs and friendship, they are the best.
Thank you to you all for watching and for your wonderful and loyal support. We are so lucky to have such awesome fans, you are always appreciated.
Maria & Paul xx
'Battle Scars'
Wear your battle scars with pride
Hold your face up to the light
Tired of playing with the fire
Singing solo in the choir
Laughing when you want to cry
Find your colours paint the sky
The bravest love will hold us tight
We'll be alright, alright...
Safe like mountains under snow
Hold our breath it's ten below
Ice will melt and river's flow
To the rainbow…
Hear the birds forever free
Singing songs to lonely trees
As one together, land and sea
I hold you in me…
Don't hide, I know you can be strong
Those wounds are not where you belong
In time the past will walk away
Your voice will find the words to say
Wear your battle scars with pride
Hold your face up to the light
Tired of playing with the fire
Singing solo in the choir
Wear your battle scars with pride
Hold your face up to the light
Tired of playing with the fire
Singing solo in the choir

Merci pour ce partage dans le temps, quelque soit le morceau choisi c’est toujours un excellent moment d’écoute entre ta voix magique et exceptionnelle sur les mélodies éternellement reconnaissables dès les premières notes. Lorsque je vous écoute j’oublie tout et pars dans mes rêves. Encore merci pour tout ce que vous faite. Mais pendant la lecture de ton texte j’ai ressenti de la bienveillance de la gratitude auprès des personnes qui vous entourent, j’espère que ce n’est pas un au revoir sur la partie 2. Vous êtes un super groupe ❤❤❤❤

Je ne sais pas pourquoi et cela me perturbe , j'aime tellement votre voix 💓🎤

[@markpashia7067]

The radio system in my car broke recently but I can bluetooth my phone to it letting me play my playlist. For weeks now I have been on my Blues list and have about thirty songs of yours in that so get constant reminders of your talent. Thank you for the years. A few favorites is "pay for this" and "long time dying" and "ain't no love". But "galgo blues" is no slacker either. You have about ten percent of my blues playlist. Long time fan.

[@MariaDainesband]

Thank you so much Mark 🙏🎶
