Ode to Gabriela Mistral (Live)

Breathe the light, soft on the sea
Dive where the sky empties
No more words are needed, only this sound
The sun is silent, the water is long

The wind is soft, the air tastes of salt
Paths without a trace, in a golden glow
The waves tell of things that pass
But everything remains if we simply stand

Sun and sea, a silent gaze
Colors flow, return
No goal, no plan, only this moment
Which calls itself like a distant promise
Sun and sea... between light

The evening falls, the hours pass
Shadows move gently, creating worlds
When I lose myself in the sound of the sea
I myself become wind and idea

Sun and sea... between light
A breath, a shimmer, a silent weight

Sun and Sea.m4a

The long anticipated;) follow up has arrived.  I begin the song with a brief reprise of "Two Faced" to set the stage.  After the cold and bluster of March, the gentleness of spring and early summer is felt with a walk in the park.
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my ode to March and especially the interest shown in the little teaser, epilogue now a more complete thought.  As they say, "take time to smell the flowers":)

A Walk In The Park (David, acoustic guitars)

In The Midst Of The War

Just bunch of nice software synths, peaceful evening, closed eyes and waves just emerge by themselves. If only there would be more moments like that, in all that hurry of life...

Grace of Lady La Mar

It may be obvious that this piece has its roots in Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" Op. 27 No. 2.  My first iterations were much closer to the original but I have now wandered far afield.  Sincere thanks to you for listening.  I'm honored.

*If I am slower to respond lately it should be noted I have a new puppy.  I am hoping he won't eat my house and pianos.

Sincere thanks to my good friend and frequent collaborator David Dunham for mastering my track @david-dunhamuser589535203

Introspection

Jazz Quartet 05.07.25

Not exactly fine dining music. Rather, a bit of easygoing and no fuss music with my good friend David Dunham. Good with a cup of coffee and maybe a piece of apple pie.   Thank you David.  It's always a pleasure to make music together.  Check out David's soothing guitar here ---> @david-dunhamuser589535203

Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Glen are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

BACK IN NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT
HE JOINED A RECORD CLUB
RECEIVED AN ALBUM EACH MONTH
WAS UPSET WHEN LATE

HE PLAYED HIS NEW ALBUM'S
ON AN OLD CONSOLE STERIO
THE DAY HE RECEIVED THEM
COULDN'T WAIT..DON'T YOU KNOW?

(CHORUS)
HE HAS SOME GREAT MEMORIES
FROM THAT RECORD CLUB
NOTHING WAS BETTER
THAN LISTENING TO HIS RECORDS
ON THAT OLD RECORD PLAYER

(INSTRUMENTAL SOLO OPTIONAL)

HE STILL HAS THOSE ALBUM'S
CAUSE THEY'RE SPECIAL TO HIM
BRIAN WILSON AND THE BEACH BOYS
WAS A FAVORITE..REST IN PEACE BRIAN

RECEIVING A TRANSISTOR RADIO
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE 
AND LISTENING WHILE ON THE GO 
MADE HIM FALL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC

(REPOST CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)
