(Song Set) All Original Songs by Chris Martin

For some reason my stream does not play well on SC for iPhone but sets do. So, I created a set of my music and it works perfectly. Odd. And yes, sadly, I do listen to my own music now and then .. somebody has to! ;-)



(Song Set) - All Original Songs

Well, this is what happens when you feel a little lonely one day and then spend several hours with your guitar ;) ... But I like the song anyway so decided to share it.

Lyrics: 
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No one's com'n by to be ... by my side
By my side
By my side

No one to call
No one at all
No one's standing by to catch ... me if I fall
If I fall
No one at all

It's not hard to see
The sad side of me
If you knew me I am sure you'd agree
You'd agree
You'd agree

Someday I'll see
The good man in me
Then I'll know that I am free ... to be me
To be me
To be me

Nowhere to go
I'm older you know
Where my friends have gone I no ... longer know
I don't know
I don't know

No one to call
No one at all
No one's standing by to catch ... me if I fall
If I fall
No one at all
No one at all
No one at all

Always Introspective

This is a remixed version with some added strings and some piano towards the end. For those of you that heard this song before, you won't hear much difference -- except for at the end I guess.

"No One At All" - Version 3

Two of my extended family relatives passed away recently. Just weeks apart. In my anger at their loss, this is what came out of my guitar. Thought I might share it for a while.

On March 26th, 2014 the Brooklyn Attractors, including Victor Axelrod, Andy Bassford, Larry McDonald, Brett Tubin, Dan Jeselsohn, Eddie Ocampo, Buford O’Sullivan, Anant Pradhan, Luke Penella, and Rich Graiko came together to play a show at the Shapeshifter Lab in Brooklyn, NY. Thankfully the audio was captured by the crew at Shapeshifter Lab and subsequently made available for release.

Lyrics:
                                            
I’m sitting in the lonely bar just staring down a drink...
Wondering just how low my life can sink.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even through these hazy eyes it’s not too hard to see…
I’m lonely as a man could ever be.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even as I try to hide I’m haunted by the past…
Wondering just how long the pain will last. 
	
I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


Hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 

Ending:
I say hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you….
Oh a better man with you…. 
Yes a better man with you…..
I was a better man with you.

/Really should be /goin’ 
You /know I want to stay 
It’s a /midnight rendezvous 
At this /internet cafe 

They don’t serve /whiskey…there’s no /coffee…
Hell /you can bring your /own 
/Come just as you /are… 
Just as /long as your alone 
The /distance it won’t /matter 
You only have to /care 
24/7 …someone’s always /there 
What’s your time zone honey 
/the moon’s here on mined 
You give me your e-mail 
I’ll give you mine 
Really should be going 
But I know I’m gonna stay 
For another midnight rendezvous 
At the internet café 

They don’t serve /whiskey…there’s no /coffee…
Hell /you can bring your /own 
/Come just as you /are… 
Just as /long as your alone 

This aint no next room
But I /think I’m gonna /stay 
And keep my /midnight rendezvous 
At this /internet … internet /café/

/I don’t know…what love is…/Only know I cry …
/Every time I think of you…and /ask… myself why… 
Why you’re just so distant…you /won’t take my calls.. 
Its like /what we had…never happened…at /all… 
But my /heart knows…oh, my /heart knows… 
My heart knows…What/ love is… 

It /seems like all those places…we /used to hang around. 
/Don’t mean much to you…/now  there just empty ground… 
/You think that those memories…can /all just be replaced 
And /all the love we felt…can be /erased… 
But my /heart knows… my /heart knows …
My heart knows…What/ love is …

(bridge)Love’s the /ultimate addiction…/loss of all control  
/Permanent affliction…/ Tumor on your soul 
As /I assess the /damage…
and  my /current /state of /mind 
it /might appear at /first…that I’m just /fine…
but my /heart knows

NEVER SAID GOODBYE (FAST TRAIN) by DOUG ROOSSIEN
Time goes slow…waiting for payday…
Real slow…when you ain’t got a job…
When you’re living life alone…life takes too long
It’ll take a lot of time…before your memories gone
I wanna take a…

Fast train to the future…Leave the past behind…
Start a new life…get you out of my mind                               (CHORUS)
I’m looking for a way…to leave…what’s left of you and I
There’s still a part of love…that never said goodbye

You left your dreams…laying in my pocket
Every time I reach for change…I think of you again
I just can’t let you go…my heart won’t take no
It’ll take a long time…to change this heart of mine…I wanna take a
(CHORUS)
There’s many ways to leave…many ways to stay
Here in my heart you’ll live forever…sure as I’m standing here today
I wanna take a…
(CHORUS)
(END_TAG) There’ll always be a part of me…that’ll never…say goodbye

Welcome to my SoundCloud page! Please click on the "Tracks" link to hear all of my music. I really appreciate it when anyone enjoys my music. Listen, download, like, share, enjoy! 

About me: 
I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. I'm a singer-songwriter as I enjoy writing my own songs most. I play acoustic guitar and the harmonica. My style of music is Contemporary Folk and Singer-Songwriter. The decade of music that most influenced my music taste is the 70's. Most influenced by Neil Young.  

I like to write songs from the heart. I want to express how I feel about past experiences, about current events, and just about anything else that really moves me in some meaningful way.  I hope that you "feel" what my songs are about too when you listen to them.
