SAMPLESOSYNTH

Martin Young, Lee Jones, Aron Sandham &amp; Gary Crawford after a Poker session!
I can't imagine what was lost when roads were crossed without a sign
A social worker, hostage taker or the lover of my life
I fly my kite so way up high it all caught up deep inside
wrapped like a bow around my power lines
Through the night a distant light it gets turned on by my third eye
Show me the way, i said "show me the way i am ready to shine
Let's be creative not a slave to all these problems so unkind
wrapped like a bow around my power lines
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires watch you don't catch on fire
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires it's getting out of control
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires watch you don't catch on fire
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires around my power lines
Through the light i move just right, the moon. It uncovers my soul
The planets are aligned to create this beam but they're not that old
Weaving a web into my head, just be careful of what you find
wrapped like a bow around my power lines
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires watch you don't catch on fire
Too many wires, Too many wires, Too many wires it's getting out of control
around my power lines
it's getting out of control
around my power lines
it's getting out of control
it's in my head i'm a weasel oh no
i don't want to be a weasel
maybe a beaver
Eat the wood
Eat the wood
Eat the wood
Make a dam
Make a dam
Make a dam
Eat the wood

Story about love

Lyrics written by Martin Young

YOU ARE ME

You've got an answer for everything
Living thinking dreaming questioning
Taking a punt, do your best
keeping those cards close to your chest
You hold on to the things you love most
but sometimes love can be mad as toast
you climb the ladder but snakes bring you down
you don't want to be around, don't be down

You are Me, it couldn't get much better, 
it couldn't get much better
You are Me, it couldn't get much better, 
please not in a text. more like a letter

You like it hot but you don't want to boil
Sometimes emotions, but head in the soil
You want to fight for you rights
go to bed early or stay up all night

You are Me, it couldn't get much better, 
it couldn't get much better
You are Me, it couldn't get much better, 
During the day i have become quite a sweater

Working your shift for however long
Taking breaks from your day long song
Clean out the cupboards from around your head
Sometimes your better off not being dead
You've got to want to come out to play
you'd like to do it nearly everyday
you've put the time in, you will get it right
its going to be a long flight, into the light
its going to be a long flight
its going to be a long flight, into the light
its going to be a long flight

into the light, it couldn't get much better, 
it couldn't get much better
You are Me, it couldn't get much better, 
Straight from the heart i'm not a quitter 
it couldn't get much better, 
it couldn't get much better,
You are Me, it couldn't get much better,
you wont always be around, get down. don't be down You are Me.

You Are Me

Made this on a Tascam 4-track back in 1994 and I’ve been carrying the cassette around for far too long.

🎶 Martin Young (a.k.a. Elephantgrass) 🎶

Welcome to my SoundCloud! I’m Martin Young, also known as Elephantgrass, a passionate songwriter and musician hailing from the beautiful Shropshire, England. With over 25 years of experience crafting songs and melodies, I strive to create music that resonates deeply with the heart.

As a guitarist, I love exploring the rich textures of sound, and my musical journey has been shaped by both solo endeavors and collaborative writing with fellow artists. I believe in the power of authenticity, and while writing from the heart can sometimes be a challenge, it’s a journey I embrace wholeheartedly.

Outside of music, I find inspiration in meditation and the exploration of ideas, which often seep into my songwriting process. Join me on this creative adventure, and let’s connect through the power of music!

🌟 Follow me for new releases and updates, and let’s share this journey together!

Maybe.
