A multi-genre playlist for songs that deserve more listens.

Hidden Gems 2025-11

Monday Playlist week of 9/15/25

So much talent from my part of the country (SW Louisiana, SE Texas) George Jones, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, George Straight, Janis Joplin, Edgar Winters and the list goes on.  Tracy Lawrence sang with a Louisiana based band in 1988-1990.  He was shot 4 times by robbers in may 1991 which delayed his first album Sticks and Stones.  He was named top new male country vocalist in 1993.  He continues to create great music.  Just one of my favorite Tracy Lawrence songs.

Six Feet Never Felt So Far. By Glenny G November 8th 2021
SIX FEET NEVER FELT SO FAR
I RIDE ALONE IN MY CAR
I LOOK TOWARDS A DISTANT STAR
WONDER IF THERE'S LIFE ON MARS
WENT TO FISH MY FAVORITE LAKE
WHEN THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE
I'VE NEVER FELT A REAL EARTHQUAKE
AM I ASLEEP OR AM I AWAKE
I CAN'T DENY IT I SEE THE SIGNS
AS THE SUMMER FRUIT ROTS ON THE VINE
NOW THEY SAY THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE
STORMS AND FIRES HAVE MANY NAMES
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT THE SAME
THE WILDLIFE DISAPEARS
WE NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR
WE JUST BURN OUT ANOTHER YEAR
THEN LOOK OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
BUT THERE'S A GOOD LIFE STILL AHEAD
I'M STILL BREATHING AND GODS NOT DEAD
GODS NOT DEAD NO GODS NOT DEAD 
SOLO/CHORUS
THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES
WE'RE CUT IN HALF AND THEN DIVIDE
ALL ALONG IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT
SIX FEET APART NO END IN SIGHT

Six Feet Never Felt So Far (Original) With Lyrics

Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Mike listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK 

IT WAS A SAD DAY TODAY
IN OUR SMALL TOWN
THE RADIO STATION
IT CLOSED DOWN

FOUNDED IN NINETEEN FIFTY
AND A LOCAL LANDMARK
PLAYED ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
WAS SPECIAL TO OUR HEART

(CHORUS)
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY
IN OUR HOME TOWN
THEY FLIPPED THE SWITCH
AND IT FADED AWAY
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THIS
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THAT
WHAT MORE CAN YOU SAY
THE MUSIC DIED TODAY

THE DEJAY'S WERE THE BEST
ALWAYS TAKING REQUEST
THE SONGS WERE ALWAYS PLAYIN'
AND VERY SATISFYIN'

TEARS FLOWED FREELY THAT DAY
AS AMERICAN PIE WAS PLAYED
AFTER SIXTY SEVEN YEARS
WHY WAS THAT CALL MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THE RED BRICK BUILDIN'
NO LONGER STANDS
THE RECORDS WERE SOLD
THEY WASHED THEIR HANDS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 times)

The Music Died Today - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox - Original with Lyrics

MURDER ONE

Nova Crisis

A song about struggling to keep up with the kids

State of Mind

Back on the Spintunes train... The round one prompt ('A day in the life') landed in my inbox whilst I was travelling around Italy. Not sure if that comes through in the lyrics at all? We stayed in an apartment in Genoa where the AirBnB host told us about her grandmother, Rosettina, who had lived there years before. Some of the details come direct from that, some are inspired by our travels in general. Ultimately it's a fictional portrait, but kind of dedicated to the real Rosettina, who sounded like a champion.

LYRICS

Daybreak on Via Luccoli
In this ancient town by the sea
Rosettina traces the lines in her face
She’s as old as a woman can be

On days the sun runs like honey
A memory is all she needs
Papa pressing the case for the convent
Rosettina saying, “No nuns for me”

[chorus]
Rosettina, Rosettina
Rosettina, would you say
It’s a day in your life
Or your life in a day
When everything changes
And only your memories remain

After breakfast, she takes down the photos
Dog-eared and monochrome
Left in a will by a photographer friend
Who died many decades ago

They show a young girl in Portofino
Who used to hitch down country roads
To hang out in bars with the Hollywood stars
She met Bogart, Bacall and Bardot

[chorus]

At noon, Rosettina takes coffee
Under the stripy facade
Of the old cathedral of San Lorenzo
In the bustle of tourists and cars

She sees how her city keeps changing
While the names on the streets stay the same
Buildings built on the bones of buildings
Then they do it all over again

[chorus]

Her family comes in the evening
Four generations are there
Aged twenty-one she met a pharmacist’s son
It was a Genovese love affair

And when they go, Rosettina relaxes
Soap operas and the nine o’clock news
Imagines a time when she will leave them behind
‘Cause we’re all just passing through

[chorus]

Rosettina

[Verse] She walks in frost that bites the air A crown of stars A frozen glare Her footsteps hum on crystal glass Each step a whisper A shadow cast

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Verse 2] The rivers pause beneath her gaze The sky turns pale A ghostly haze Her laugh is sharp It cuts the wind A riddle wrapped A soul unpinned

[Prechorus] But does she dream Does she cry Does she melt beneath the sky

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Bridge] She builds her walls of icy stone A castle carved She stands alone But deep inside A fire sleeps A secret warmth A flame she keeps

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

Ice Maiden



Lyrics: 
Its seems that fate has crossed our paths again, the one I did offend, no chance to make amends
Benevolence and smiles are all pretend , in light of ill intent , just attempts to make amends 

All of us are hopeless sinners some are losers some are winners
Straining or found resting by the plow

Waiting and anticipating a trophy for participating 
In a game that started long ago, so long ago

The memories  like ice  flood in my mind, but the eye that sees is blind, and  truth becomes denied.
when light shines brighter than the  day , and we turn our look away ,  we continue in the maze

Some of us are lost forever misguided in our endeavors
Choked out by the thistles and the thorns

Lying still in total silence contemplating scenes of violence
Amending for what happened long ago, so long ago

(Blues/Rock)  
WELL, I WAS WALKIN' OUT THE DOOR…  
JUST WHAT DID I FEEL?  
YOU KNOW I FELT THE RAIN
  IT WAS POURIN' DOWN ON ME  
JUST POURIN' DOWN ON ME… OH, YEAH!  
  THEN I JUMPED IN MY CAR…..  
WELL, I TURNED ON THE KEY  
OF COURSE THE CAR WOULDN'T START
  HOW COULD THIS BE  …..
HAPPENIN’ TO ME?  
JUMPED THE CAR OFF
  …….AS I WAS DRIVIN' DOWN THE ROAD
  I HEARD A BUMPIN' SOUND
  A TIRE BLEW OUT   
WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
  AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
  OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT
……IMAGINE THAT?
 WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
  I REACHED FOR MY CELL
  TO CALL OUT FOR HELP   
OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD  
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
  FLAGGED A CAR DOWN  
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
  BLEW HIS HORN  
AS THEY DROVE ON BY  
(CHORUS )  
WELL, I WAS HAVIN'   
ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
WHEN NOTHIN'S RIGHT
  ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
NO HELP IN SIGHT
  ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
OH YEAH, ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
(BRIDGE)  
HAVE YOU EVER HAD?  
ONE OF THOSE DAYS  
PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE
(OH….BRING IT ON HOME, TOM!!!)  
(CHORUS)

One Of Those Days - Original

One Of Those Days - Collaboration with Tony's Lyrics & Tom Adams

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
