(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

"No One At All" - Original Demo

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.

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.

"In The Mountains" Lyrics:

I wake up early in the mountains...
First light shines across the lake
The early morning fog is lifting...
The peace is there for me to take

I watch the old boats as they glide by...
Men with peace upon their face
They're not thinking 'bout the old days...
Must be the magic in this place

I watch the children play beside me...
Building castles in the sand
You can feel the joy among them...
Part of the wonder of this land

In the evening when the Sun's down...
A million stars up in the sky
I can only look with wonder...
I even feel a little high

I woke up early in the mountains...
First light shone across the lake
The early morning fog had lifted...
The peace was there for me to take

Lyrics:
I don’t know what you’re feeling...
I can’t know your pain
I don’t have the right words...
I can’t ease your rains

And I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind

II.
I did not live your past...
I don’t know why the haunting lasts
But when those clouds come rolli’n in...
We’ll go through them thick or thin

And I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind
I’ll always be by your side
I’ll never leave you behind

"By Your Side"  - by Chris Martin Music with GATE57

I just had to write this in memory of Whitney Houston. I hope you enjoy it.

STIR MY HEART
lyrics & vocal melody- http://soundcloud.com/gnetsound
music & backing vocals- http://soundcloud.com/nj-apostol

Heavenly Father
I'm down on my knees
I'm asking forgiveness
For all the things that I've done

For all of the heartaches
And all of the shame
For all of the sorrow
And unwanted pain that I've given you (hmm)


Stir my heart ( Heavenly Father) to remember your name
(Heavenly father) Seek for your words, your mercy & grace
Never let go (never let me stray away)
Did you hear my pray, that I've given you 
Heavenly Father ( will you hear my pray)

Stir my heart- gnetsound original & nj apostol (version 3)now with lyrics

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.
