"Daniel, I'm shocked, we're on down time and you're not in your office working." Jack joked as he came into the commisary and sat down at the table Daniel was sitting at.

"We'll I'm shocked that you're still on the base period." Daniel shot back.

"Yeah, well the only reason I'm still here is because I was looking for you."

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to ask you a favor. You see ever since that night you sang with the band, we've be getting a lot of requests from our fans to bring you back. So I was wondering if you'd be willing to make another appearence?"

"I could maybe schedule it in. On one condition, I get to sing my own songs."

"Your own songs. Since when do you have your own songs?"

"Jack, yes or no."

"Ok, ok have it your way. So I'll see at rehersal tonight, my house 6:00."

"I'll be there."

=================================

A few weeks later Jack, Sam, Teal'c, Daniel, and Janet entered the night club, after having gone to a movie and dinner on a "group outing" (A/N: Yeah right it was more like a double date with Teal'c as the chaperon, but Shhhhhhh you don't know that).

"If you ladies will excuse us. We have a show to do." Daniel announced as he, Jack, and Teal'c led them to the table the group always sat at, and then then made their way back stage.

"Whats up everybody?" Jack asked as he came on stage. "You folks asked for him, so back by popular demand I present you with my friend Daniel, who will be singing the first three songs for you tonight."

"Glad to be here tonight. The songs I'm going to be singing tonight are 'Somebody Else's Song', 'Cling and Clatter', and 'Remember To Breath'." Daniel informed the crowd. First up will be 'Somebody Else's Song' this song deals with a time in my life when I was younger and had all these expectations placed on me, from other people, about what I was supposed to become and do in life. It was like I had somebody else in my head telling me what to do. So in away this song is about trying to figure things out for yourself."

(Music starts soon followed by Daniel singing)

"Can't change this feeling

I'm way out of touch

can't change this meaning

well it means too much

never felt so lonely

never felt so good

can't be the only one misunderstood

cause I remind myself of somebody else I'm feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

I want some of my own

I want some of my own can you see me up here would you

bring me back down

cause I've been living to see my fears as they

fall to the ground

I remind myself of somebody else I'm feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

I want some of my own

I want some of my own

I want some of my own am I hiding behind my doubts

are they hiding behind me

closer to finding out

it doesn't mean anything

cause I remind myself of somebody else I'm feeling like I'm chasing like I'm facing myself alone

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head

I want some of my own

I want some of my own

I want some of my own"

"This next song is called 'Cling and Clatter' and it deals with trying to find your way through all noise and emotional distrations in your life and mind to get to what you really want. Also I wrote this song because recently I went through an experince that left me trying to sort through all these conflicting voices inside and outside my head."

(Music starts and Daniel starts singing)

"Too many voices

it won't take long

which one's right

and which one's wrong

and yours is most likely to be misunderstood

screaming in tongues

at the top of my lungs

till I find you

till you found me and somehow

I always knew that you would and I am contemplating matters

all this cling and clatter

in my head

and what you said is ringing

ringing faster and it's all good

if you would stop the world from making sense

and if I could

just realize it doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter if I could touch the sound of silence now

you know I would

if I knew how

to make these intentions come around

and now I'm hearing without listening

and believing every word that you're not saying

speaking without a sound

and I am contemplating matters

all this cling and clatter

in my head

and what you said is ringing

ringing faster and it's all good

if you would stop the world from making sense

and if I could

just realize it doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

trapped inside of these four walls

walking brainless muppet dolls

mushroom face beneath the tangles

bleeding silhouette inside

dancing like an angel would

and it's all good

if you would stop the world from making sense

and if I could

just realize it doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

and it's all good

if you would stop the world from making sense

and if I could

just realize it doesn't really matter

doesn't really matter

all this cling and clatter"

"Alright this last song is called 'Remember To Breath'. I'm not really sure where this song came from. I just know that one day I was sitting around trying to get my work done but I couldn't because my mind kept wandering to that special woman in my life, so putting my work aside I started writting and this is what came out."

(Music starts, Daniel begins singing)

"She fixes her lips they

Always look perfect

Never a smudged line

Never too much

I try on my blue shirt

She told me she liked it, once

She wonders what I'll wear

She knows just what she'll wear

She always wears blue

So sneakers or flip flops

I'm starting to panic, wait wait

Remember she asked you

Remember to

Breathe

And everything will be okay

Okay, Okay

Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright, Alright

Okay"

Finishing up with his last song Daniel made his way off stage and over to the table Sam and Janet were sitting at. Arriving at the table Daniel was greeted with a kiss from a very pleased Janet.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?" Daniel asked after they broke apart for air.

"What can't I just kiss you for the heck of it?" Janet replied.

"Well then in that case..." Daniel put a hand up to Janet's cheek and gently brought her into another kiss.

"OK...alright thats enough." Sam interupted seeing the kiss turing into something not public friendly. "Keep it up and I'll be forced to seperate you two." The other two just responed by throwing crumpled up napkins at Sam, never breaking the kiss. "Geeze thanks."

Since they all had the day off the next day, the group, once the show was over, headed back to Sam's house to get themselves completly drunk and enjoy the good times they'd had together, feeling that they'd had earned the right after all the tough times they'd had together.
