Don´t Keep Me Waiting

My life is so empty without you
After all the years we´ve been through
Long ago when we first met
You caught me in your net
Do it again!

My body yearns with desire
My bleeding heart burns like fire
The moment you made eyes at me
You blew my mind entirely
Do it again... Don´t play for time
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

My nights are long and lonely
I´m waiting for my one and only
I´m in need of your kiss
And I´m dying for your caress
Do it again..throw me a line
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting..........................

Don't Keep Me Waiting

ABOUT

This track has been on the back burner for a (very!) long time and started out as an outline composition in support of a short film, about a reincarnated witch.   As it turned out the film didn’t happen, but the song continued to evolve, and somewhere along the way got renamed to Selene!

It’s a song about two women, separated across time, and could follow several different themes: haunting, possession, reincarnation or perhaps love.. I'll leave you to decide..It touches on separation and isolation, the power of connections and perhaps a life rebuilt, for both the songs characters.

I’ve been very fortunate to be ably assisted in creating this track, by two fantastic pro musicians; Glenn Welman, on drums, and an absolute POWERHOUSE soprano vocal performance from Marion Schneider (Mioune) Without their talent, innovation and, in Marion’s case, a ton of advice, Selene would not be the track it is!  Thanks should also go to Joseph, at JREL Music Studio, Oklahoma City, whose mastering skills put the finishing touches to a track that I really am pleased with!  Thanks a million guys! 

Selene, Music and Lyrics:   Goff Johnson
Drums: Glenn Welman

Lyrics

Verse 1: woman

In the quiet of the night,
Something stirs the wind
The silence isn’t right, I don’t know where
There’s some-thing lost inside,
 
Verse 2: Ghost 

I was a sigh behind the moon
A darker shade of night
A story ended far too soon, and far from sight 
But longing for the light 
 
Pre-Chorus: woman

I’m filled with questions with no answers
A masquerade without a dancer
 
Chorus: Ghost

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light
 
Verse 3 (duet)

There’s a truth to be revealed
Through shadows and through time
Throughout the counting of the years 
Our stories will entwine
You’ll be my voice, I’ll be your flame  

Pre-chorus 2 : both

The veil is torn, all doubts are gone
our souls are joined, our names are one
 
Chorus: both 

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Middle Section : Ghost  

I thought I’d never be complete
A will without a form
You’re the spell I couldn’t speak
I’m the storm you’ve always worn 
                      
Final Chorus: both

Reach through the night — awake within my dream
Reach for the light 
 
Outro Chorus (quiet reprise)

Tonight — wake within my dream (ghost)
Reach for the light (woman)

Selene

“Walk In The Park” by Northern Sky is about those simple, golden moments that feel like they could last forever. It’s a song for lazy Saturday afternoons, wandering with someone you love, talking about everything and nothing. Warm sunlight, soft melodies, and that feeling of getting a little lost together — until the stars come out.

Walk In The Park

I grew up in the bay area and lived in and out of several cities  about 15 minutes from Frisco.  I had a front porch session this weekend because the sun was shinning . I always like to get that outdoor microphone tone on these types of raw recordings. The only drawback is singing live and playing lead. You have to accept the flaws , But you do get a live feel. 
BAY AREA BLUES By Glenny G
Yeah I'm Walking down the train track between the pillar before Bart
Take me back to Richmond the place where it all starts
Catalog from Woolworth reading the news
Why I'm sitting at the diner with the blues 
Mira Vista hill top, the schools on the other side
Throwing a dirt clod The field was open wide
Yuba hill was rolling with skateboards flying by
Yeah I'm leaning on a wall and wondering why
( Guitar Solo )
Just Fifteen miles from Frisco, Golden Gate on the other side
El Cerrito and the highway, the bus was my ride
El Sobrante to San Pablo, Frisco on the other side
The Bay was open wide
( Guitar Solo ) out ,,,,

Broken / Pretty

Pretty Unauffällig Dann

An intense and atmospheric instrumental dive where silence weighs as heavily as sound. Each layer breathes tension and reflection — a journey into the beautiful discomfort of emptiness.

The Stifling Nothing

Ron Snyder sent Austin Grey some music (which happened to be for the verses) for him to come up with some lyrics and a melody. Austin came up with the lyrics, melody, bridges and repackaged it into this demo recording. He has a lot of soul in his voice.

*** NEW MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK RELEASE, SELENE NOW OUT ON ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS!!***

What a great place Soundcloud is !  I can honestly say I never imagined there were so many talented and generous artists, composers and producers,  to be found in one place!  It's been my very great pleasure to meet and collaborate with some of you, already, out there in the WWW,  and I hope many more in the future! 

I've written and recorded music since I was a teenager  (... that's a long time ago!!) and about half the tracks posted here are purely my own work. I also experimented, for a while,  with A.I. supported music, which I used to help build up a Sci Fi "concept album" (for those that remember them!) titled "Stories of Stardust", released 26th Feb 2025.  

A.I music can be a divisive topic, but I've no wish to use it as a replacement for human musical talent, and going forward I'm back to  working  with real people again. That's where the magic is to be found!  Which brings me to....

Collab is ALWAYS welcome!!  In fact it's my favourite way to work - check out my Collabs playlist for some recent examples!  Really enjoyed working with these talented artists!!   

For me the collab journey is only just starting so please (please)  gimme a shout if you think we could work together in the future! 

cheers, and keep the music playing !!
