Dawn
Night To Day. Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price. Vocals by Teagan Riordain Geneviene.
I played an unplugged version of Night To Day on my freshly restored Elvis Presley Harmony guitar in my farewell to 2023 video on New Year’s Eve. I later recorded the metal version and asked Teagan if she wanted to sing it. She wasn’t sure about singing metal, but Teagan is a good sport, and she is adventurous when it comes to art and music, so she dove into the metallic pool and nailed it. Her ethereal voice is perfect for the ghostly theme of Night To Day.
If you have trouble viewing the video, you can listen to the song on SoundCloud.
Night to Day
Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price
Vocals by Teagan Riordain Geneviene
[Verse 1]
I saw Sun crash to the ground
It threw colors far and wide
With yellows into reds consumed
Swallowed up by ravenous blues
[Pre-chorus]
Dusk sang dirges to the dark
Clouds ignited a fiery show
[Chorus]
See the darkness
Nighttime’s falling
Time to slumber,
But ghosts are calling
Feel the darkness
Your skin starts crawling
Who can sleep when ghosts come calling
[Verse 2]
As embers meander through the night
Shadows creep under bright moonlight
Dawn wakes colors that light the sky
Painting darkness red, yellow, blue
[Pre-chorus]
Defeating darkness that’s Eos’ way
She breathes life into one more day
[Chorus]
See the light
Ghosts dissolving
Time to rise
A new day’s calling
Feel the light
Your skin stops crawling
When you’re up to see ghosts dissolving
[Bridge]
Night to day. Day to night
Flesh and spirits, in a moment, fight
For the right to live or die
Trading places, one sacrificed
[Outro]
See the darkness
Nighttime’s falling
Time to slumber
Ghosts come calling
See the light
A new day’s calling
Time to rise, see ghosts dissolving
Rio Samba
Altissimo
Guard hummingbird en garde
Spotted Towhee in the tree. House Finch lands in the same tree. Spotted Towhee chases House Finch away.
Spotted Towhee was all proud of himself.
Nora Owl flew over where I could get better shots of her this afternoon.
Walter and Willa were in the top of the cottonwood huddled up together and dozing on and off.
Osric Owl was trying to sleep with the wind blowing his ear tufts.
We have had persistent high winds since Thursday night. Several thunderstorms blew through this afternoon dropping a quarter inch of rain, and pelting us with marble sized hail.
Off Center & Not Even 
More great photos! Walter and Willa look cute all huddled up! Spotted towhees are notorious hiders, often heard but rarely seen. Your pictures here are remarkable!
I couldn’t play the video, marked “Private.”
I did not set the video as private. What are you trying to view it from? If you are trying to view it on your phone, I noticed there are a lot of problems with viewing videos on WP on phones right now. It actually had all my videos mixed up on the wrong posts the other day, The video might not had loaded yet. You should try it again. Thanks, Susan.
I was trying to view it on my phone. I came back over and it played fine, I am pleased to say. Nice work, Tim and Teagan. 🙂
I’m happy you got to see it. Thanks, Susan.
Thanks for giving it another try, Susan. Hugs.
Tim, thanks so much for letting me sing this song. I know you put a lot of extra work into it to raise the key for me. Wow… me on the same song as that fantastic guitar work! I’m giddy.
The video turned out extremely cool. I love what you did with that, moving around in the still images. Adding the glimpses of Laurie’s fingernails and the woman blowing bubbles really added to the surreal feeling of it. Brilliant work. Hugs!
Thank you for singing for me Teagan. Your voice fits so well with the song that I thought it needed a video to go with it. Brilliant work on your vocals and your CGI. Laurie noticed it was really good quality work, way beyond what most people produce.
whooo hoooo you two.. so good,. Love filming lyrics and singing. Teagan did nail it and is was sooo great! The ghosts are calling in summer no less. Amazing what the storms can produce. 💓💓
Thanks for the great comment, Cindy.
Haha. You are so kind, Cindy. Thanks for listening and for making me smile. Hugs.
You both do metal brilliantly!
It’s fun to keep trying new forms of creativity, Mandy. I’m so happy you enjoyed this. Hugs.
LOVE the metal version!
Teagan sounds fab. What a great song team you are making.
Teagan, your voice suits metal. You could be a metalatrix!
Great shots Tim, and the music makes the post special.
Hugs to both of you!
Thanks, Resa. I really like having Teagan sing. Her voice is bea3utiful and unique. She makes a huge difference in the sound and felling of the song.
You are far too kind. 🙂
Ha!!! The geriatric metalatrix! Resa you are a delight. Thank you so much for your encouragement. Please take good care of you. Hugs winging back to you.
Hugs awinging!
Fly! Fly away! In a hug.
xxoo
Wow. Awesome song, Tim on guitar and Teagan singing. You do metal really well. And the sky photos were amazing. The owl family always nice to see. Great work! 🎶🎶🎶 Christine
Thanks, Christine.
You are so kind, Christine. Thank you so much. Big hugs.
What a wonderful post!
Great photos, great song and great voice!!!
Thanks, Luisa.
You’re most welcome!
Dear Luisa, I appreciate you stopping to listen. Thank you for your kind words. Hugs.
You’re most welcome, as ever 💗🌹💗
Hats off to you two. This is superb.
Thanks, Shey.
Thanks very much, Shey. Hugs.
Youa re more than welcome. YOur voice is brilliant.
Ah, Tim and Teagan this is brilliant! Teagan’s rendition adds an eerie dramatic tone and your guitars and production send it sky high! Owls, hummingbird, Towhee and painter, all agree!
Thanks, Marina. Perfect assessment of Teagan’s voice.
I really enjoyed your collaboration!
Marina, what a wonderful comment! Thanks so much for listening. Hugs.
You’re so welcome, Teagan. It was a pleasure listening! Thank YOU! Many hugs back!
Teagan’s voice matches perfectly in your song. Having an espresso on a Sunday morning and playing your song is a good way to start the day…
Thanks, Herman. We are happy to give you a good start to your day. I hope you had a pat of dark chocolate, also.
Of course, that’s the perfect combination every time…
Give me water like chocolate. Chocolate like coffee. And music like the three, and I will find life.
You are so kind, Herman — thank you for this lovely compliment. Hugs to you and the kitties.
My pleasure, Teagan! Thank you so much!
You and Teagan did a fantastic job with the video! I also enjoyed all the bird and flower photos. Mr. Spotted Towhee is a most handsome fellow.
Thanks, Liz. Mr. Towhee is a sassy fellow, also.
You’re welcome, Tim.
I’m so happy you enjoyed this, Liz. Tim did all the heavy lifting on this one. I only sent one image for the video, but he did such cool things with it. Hugs.
He is a very good videographer.
This song is really good. A great tune and Teagan did a magnificent job with the singing 😊🩵
Thanks, Robbie. I’m happy you liked it.
You are so kind, Robbie — thank you. I hope your week is off to a great start. Hugs.
I keep moving forward. I’m going to Oslo and Amsterdam next week so I can’t complain.
Have a great time.
Robbie, don’t ever let anyone tell you “You should be glad it isn’t worse.” I’m glad to hear that you’re getting a break. I hope the change of scene is refreshing and that flight doesn’t feel as long as it is. Big hugs.
😁, the flight is long and it will take me 15 hours to get to the airport in Norway but The Scream by Edward Munch awaits at the end 😉. That painting has influenced a lot of my writing.
Long flight. I love The Scream.
Love those stormy skies!
Thanks, Ingrid.
Another brilliant collaboration Tim and Teagan!! I love the video, great work! 👍
Thanks, Tiffany.
Thanks so much, Tiffany. I agree that the video is fabulous. Tim did all the heavy lifting on this one. Hugs.
You and Teagan make a great duo, Tim. Her voice is honest, beautiful and captivating. Your playing works in perfectly.
I enjoyed seeing all the scenes from Price gardens to bosque and Sandia skyscapes. Those are some mighty active clouds.
Exactly. Teagan’s voice is special. Thanks, Lavinia.
Dear Lavinia, I can’t think of a more wonderful compliment. Thank you so much. Big hugs.
You have a lot of talent, Teagan. I am still waiting for your book Guitar Mancer to be finished, too.
FABULOUS!!! Teagan and you have a wonderful collaborative approach to creating music. WOW!!
Thanks, Rebecca. I just sent Teagan another song to think about.
This is wonderful news!!!
Thank you kindly, Rebecca. I’ve been polishing up the story I promised to read for you. Hugs.
Fabulous photos and Teagan has the perfect voice for the song. Thanks, Tim, and congratulations to both!
Thanks, Olga.
Olga, thanks for all of your support. Big hugs.
Super cool lyrics and photographs; love the shot of the birds, flowers and storm! 💕

WOW!
Thanks, N44.
Thanks for your encouragement, Noelle. Hugs.
Thanks, Neolle.
Makes me think of Jefferson Airplane…
great owl photos too. (K)
They got in my head with this song too, Kerfe. Actually, more on that at my place on Wednesday. Thanks for commenting. Hugs.
Looking forward!
Interesting and cool. Thanks, Kerfe.
The photos are great. The video is excellent. Music and lyrics are and interesting mix, and Teagan did a wonderful job with this song. You guys make a great team!
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Dan. Teagan did a magnificent job.
Thanks for your encouragement, Dan. Hugs.
Not sure where my comment went but you gotta know I LOVED THIS and great lyrics and singing by Tegan. Ghosts are real and your pics amazing, Tim❣️
Thanks, Cindy. I checked spam. No comments from you in there. I guess the ghosts got it.
Hahahaha or my phone.. or i dreamt it.. no i tried. Weird things happening in my comments right now.
Many thanks, Cindy. LOL, the ears of the world can be thankful that Tim asked me to sing his wonderful song, otherwise I was considering trying a cover of a Grace Slick song to go with my midweek post, The Rabbit Hole. Ha!
WP really is the devil about comments… It’s frustrating. Hugs.
You are so funny but we knew that already and most welcome. The Rabbit hole could be apropos for WP for sure.. ha 💓🤗😎
This is a fabulous collaboration, Timothy, of you and Teagan! Loved the song and Teagan’s singing! And your photos are beautiful. I love owls, so I’m partial to your owl shots. Wonderful post!
thanks for your wonderful comment, Lauren. Most of my posts over the past couple of months of had owls. You can see lots of owls if you need an owl fix.
Thanks so much, Lauren.
Tim could make a wonderful picture-story book with all his owl photos and the captions on them. Hugs.
Well done both of you. I love Teagan’s voice. A dynamic duo!
Thanks, Darlene. A dynamic duo like Cat Woman and Robin.
You are so kind, Darlene. I’m sorry for the late reply. Big hugs.
😘
Your song reminds me I have to get going on this year’s new Haunted Trail props – don’t have much time left to get everything done.
Only 121 days left until Trail Time. You better get hoppin on those prorpins. Thanks, Brian.
