Lyrics:

Gentle is the night, when it’s calling out your name
Gentle is the wind, sliding through the window pane

Gentle were your lips, that left me here like this, 
Pale blue moonlight

Tender were your words, when you whispered like a ghost
The curtain softly swayed, as from my arms you rose.

Gently closed the door, each step upon the floor,
Turns to silence.

And in the quiet of your wake
You still give all I can take, as your body lingers still
My empty arms remain fulfilled

Pain was in your eyes when you said there were no sorrows
And you filled my hands with a million tomorrows

Gentle on each curve, your fingertips and words, 
Midnight breezes

And in the quiet of your wake
You still give all I can take, as your body lingers still
My empty arms remain fulfilled

Gentle was the night
So gentle was the night
Gentle was the night
So gentle was the night

Gentle Was The Night

Lyrics, Music, Vocals, Guitars, Production - Riff Beach
Pour a cup and wash me up
Take me to that place
Cleanse my soul and make me whole
Lord, Bathe me in your Grace
Dry your eyes and don’t despise
All the pain you hold inside
Life’s too short to break a Heart
Can’t believe it’s real
Say a prayer 
Let me know you care
And show me how you feel
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
Oooh, It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
No time to feel alone
We’re all where we belong 
So let’s be strong and carry on
Soon we’ll be headed home
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
It’s just my Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory 
Floating in the Wind

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I have a place, a special place
Down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

Opposites attract is a song about me and my wife. We are so opposite but yet we really fit together so well. most of the time :-))))) You will have to bop to this one its infectious... 

Written and performed by Johnny Mc. Enjoy here are the lyrics to help you through it. 

They say that opposites attract, 
well For you and me that’s true 
Like plus and Minus there’s an invisible attraction
Between me and you 

We are Yin and Yang and that for sure 
If I’m the disease, then you’re the cure 
Like the Lady and the tramp your rich and I’m poor 
Your confident and I’m insecure 
But when we are together we’re a perfect match 
If you’re the door then I’m the latch 
If your the roof then I'm the thatch 
We really fit together 
We area perfect match 

Your rare and precious Your true and pure 
I’m raggie and disheveled and somewhat immature 
We are like black and white, like day and night 
I'm always wrong and your always right .

Your up I’m down your country I’m town 
Your somewhat serious and I'm the circus clown 
Like a hand in a glove like a foot in a shoe
Your part of me and I'm part of you 

But when we are together we’re a perfect match 
If you’re the door then I’m the latch 
If your the roof then I'm the thatch 
We really fit together 
We area perfect match 

When your feeling down you know I'm there for you 
If you’re the stove then I've got to be the flu 
If your the front then you know I've got your back 
If I'm the train you have to be the track

Modes About Me Lyrics:

Toothache Deluxe

And I
I'm probably gonna leave
You're never gonna see me, see me
This shit comes easy yeah yeah yeah
Sad but true
Blue and mom and you
But what's words to a mute
Better get back I shoot
Better get back I knew
I could imagine the things that you do
I could be sad but I know the truth
And ima lay down, lay it down in the booth
It don't feel good when it come from the root
Creatures watch from clouds above
I'm son and blood and winged dove
Swingers club and penis pump me up
Your the chump if you think I'm dumb
Do you know what pain is
If you did I bet you would erase it
No shame just rain just rain
I can fall asleep with a toothache
Do you know what pain is
If you did I bet you would erase it
No shame just rain just rain

The Mysterious Decibel Lyrics:
Ashes in the tomb is where it all looms on my window sill
memories in motion but the remnants will remain Still
When the moon can bud from its cocoon the blood will  spill
creature in the box is manifesting me for a thrill
find me in the Crawlspace
Where the critters do their dance up to first base, what a taste
Get away! I'm feeling reckless
Wear your arteries like a necklace and bury you next bitch

"Your Cheatin' Heart" is a song written and recorded by country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1952. It is regarded as one of country's most important standards. My Dad loved Hank Williams...my first time trying to sing this classic.

Your Cheating Heart - Cover by Tony

Here is a new song I wrote. Hope you all like it.

Half in a daze hours I’ve spent, listening to bards and talking heads
Searching the past for  forgotten shame, digging up graves for someone to blame

Beating the drum and sharpening swords, kindling a flame to burn all the words
Offering service  to bury the truth, with old arguments long in the tooth


Ive heard it all since I was young, in every scene and song that was sung
Replace the old ones with sages in kind, poor sightless men leading the blind

Tell me again what the book says, that you don’t believe but you’ve never read
Bolstering folly to hinder the truth, the old argument long in the tooth.

The Old Argument

Not sure where these song ideas often come from? Music, Lyrics or both?Sometimes hard to create and other times they just run over me like a Steam Roller. Anyway, musings of someone just 'Letting Go'. Who knows? Vocals, guitars, all instruments and production by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records - 3B Productions.
Letting Go ©
Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2022
I’m basking in Nothingness
I’m pushing through time and space
Not sure where I’m going
Not sure of my place
Such self importance
It’s merely contrived
One day we‘ll wake up
Wondering how we survived
With love in my heart
And a most confused mind
It tears me apart
To feel so unkind
So steady my path, Lord
Tame all my dreams
Show me the way 
To untwist my schemes
May I become better
In all I pursue
For I mean no harm
I simply love you

Letting Go ©

I ran across this old Merle Haggard tune that was written in the 70's
Boy did it hit home and sure fits with things today.  This is another song
that Mike (Lefty Mike) did a little magic and added bass, harp and his
vocals.  He really made the song.  Thanks again Mike and thanks SC
members for the listen.

Jesus Take A Hold ( cover- Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

This is a song that we co-wrote, a simple love ballad that includes a brief piano/electric guitar duet between verses. The subject is self-explanatory. A belated Happy Valentines wish before February melts into the Saint Patrick’s season!

Lyrics:

Of all the things I ever held
Of all that's wrong and right
Nothing makes me smile like you
Or hold onto so tight
Of all the time that filled my eyes
The days I’ve sifted through
What could make me more alive
Than time I spent with you
And nothing hurts as much as missing you

If heaven was a place to find
It’s always been in you
Like a secret key you turned
I opened up to you 
And like an angel bathed me in your light, you made me whole..
Of all the places I have been 
I’ve never felt more home 
I miss your laughter and your hand in mine, 
And I will love you far beyond our time

Nothing Like You

Just a simple, minimally produced Original Tune reflecting on Happy Moments in Life. Sometimes, we all need to embrace and grab onto the present and the beauty in this World whenever we can.

My mind crashed on a tumbling wave
While walking along some familiar shore
Little moments that we crave
Yet, we’re still left wanting more
(Chorus)
Come sit next to me by the fire
Let us shimmer in the light
As those flames keep dancing higher
Love’s burning in our hearts tonight
Some say nothing lasts forever
One day we’ll remember when
Making memories together
While we share the love within
As the cool sand soothes our souls
Let us never lose this desire
We both know what the future holds
When our hearts are set on fire
So, say goodnight to the sun
As the fire casts its amber glow
When the world just feels numb
I know a special place where we can go

This is 'One for The Ages' and an updated version of a Collaborative work featuring my own music composition, acoustic guitar work, and vocals to create a version for 'The In Between' original lyrics as penned by Jaime Webb Ross. This project has gone through a number of revisions and ReMixes, and now also prominently features TytlBlues (Tom Adams) Blistering Blues Guitar work and The Ace of Bass - Vladaroo Vlad Josephson, along with the magical Mix-Mastery of Van Gabriel (Gabriel Vanore).
The In Between © 
(Original Lyrics - Jaime Webb Ross)
No longer here 
No longer there 
You walk along 
Though not sure where
Inside a world 
You've never seen
 Your newfound Home 
Of In Between
Where rules have changed 
You try to learn
 Which bridge to cross
 Which bridge to burn
Where all you knew  
No longer fits
 A whole new world 
Inside exists
Who can you trust?
 What will they say ?
To try to make you
 Walk their way
You learn to read
 Between the lines
 The words not said 
The strongest kind
Listen to  Your inner voice 
Trust yourself
 To make your choice
Continue on
 Find strength within
 Embrace the New
 You're living in
Thanks to everyone for working with me to help craft a work that we can all truly be proud of in this song version for Jaime's Lyrics. There were many other superb compositions featuring these lyrics and they are all unique and featured some most talented musicians in each case. We're just pleased to offer up a Final version of this one in the AcoustaTronic Genre, as well. Thanks for listening.

The In Between

The In Between © - AcoustaTronic Version

He Touched Me” was composed in 1963 by Bill Gaither and recorded by Elvis Presley in 1972.

He Touched Me - Cover by Tony

Lyrics by Tony Harris & Glen Granthem
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem

In times of old the men would travel west
Searching for silver and gold with little sleep or rest
The lack of housing, It was back breaking work
Living underground digging in the dirt

(Chorus)
Searching for silver and gold
Few got rich in those days of old
Searching for silver and gold
To end up dead and buried in a hole

The lack of law and order The mini camps took lots of lives
From the East and the South They gambled with their life
In all the wrong places they searched for silver and gold
Covered wagons on horse back clipper ships strong and bold.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Wonderful 70's Tune originally written and performed by the most talented Singer-Songwriter, John David 'JD' Souther https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Souther
Souther's partnership with Linda Ronstadt led to her beautiful version of this Original song being featured as the third track on her Grammy Award Winning Classic album, 'Heart Like A Wheel' - released in 1974. The song has been covered by others, but the Ronstadt version is the Gold Standard and more than survives 'The Test of Time', even today!

This version is my own 'AcoustaTronic' sketch. Hope it's enjoyed in its own way? As always, Thanks for Listening. Most genuinely appreciated, along with comments, likes and/or reposts. Many Thanks! 

Continued Best Wishes on your own musical journeys, whether you're an enthusiast, performer and/or producer. Music is the Beat of Life! :D)))

Faithless Love - Version

Lyle Lovette- four Grammy awards.  It is kinda hard to put him in any particular category  Such a great singer, songwriter and performer.  I got to see him a few years ago.  I love his music along with his pals John Hiatt and Guy Clark.

Thanks to Wayne for inviting me to write some lyrics for his song.  This was a fun tune and I sure enjoy Wayne's music.
Lyrics:
In the morning, when the sun comes up
Sipping coffee from my favorite cup
Wondering what kinda day this day will bring
No time to just lay around
Got to get up and plow some ground(know what I mean)
Don't want to waste your dreams
Dreaming (keep on dreaming)
Thinking(keep on thinking)
My old body seems to be slowing down
It can't keep up with my mind that keeps going 'round
I just do the best I can
I know sometimes life gets hard and rough
That's the time your spirit needs to get tough
Do what you gotta' do don't worry 'bout a thing
Gotta keep those dreams alive
You'll make it, You'll survive
Just do the best you can
Break
You got a whole lot left to say and do
A little old age don't mean it's the end of you
You keep on going 'till the keep on going is gone
No time to just lay around
Got to get up and plant some ground(know what I mean)
Don't want to waste your dreams
Break
Chorus

DOWNHILL SLIDE
Lyrics by Tony Harris (that inspired Glen to create this track)
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem 

HE WOKE UP ONE MORNIN'
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOIN'
HAD BEEN A LONG HARD RIDE

HE HAD HOLES IN HIS SHOES
PATCHES ON HIS BRITCHES
NOTHIN' LEFT TO LOSE
TRYIN' TO STAY BETWEEN THE DITCHES

SEEMED HE'D LOST HIS WAY
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE'D BEEN
HAD NO WHERE TO STAY
HE JUST COULDN'T WIN

(CHORUS)
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
COULD BE HIS LAST RIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE
ON A DOWNHILL SLIDE
WITH THE DEVIL AS HIS GUIDE

HE FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY
ON THE WAY TO ROCK BOTTOM
THAT LIFE'S NOT ALL PLAY
HE WAS THE PROBLEM

LOST SOME GOOD FRIENDS
LETTIN' THE DEVIL BE HIS GUIDE
PROMISED HIM GOOD TIMES
IF HE'D TAKE THAT RIDE

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
DON'T TAKE THAT RIDE
CHANGE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE
IT'S A DOWNHILL SLIDE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Downhill Slide - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glenny G's "One Man Band" - Original

Milco Huisman, initially asked me about adding some of his superb flute music to my version of this Traditional song. I was honored and most enthused to oblige his request. Makavox, also added some jazzy, bass-y keyboard work, as well. Thus, we created somewhat of a Jethro Tull-style version and one of the few renditions of this song featuring a flute. Thank you, Friends, for your hauntingly beautiful contributions. This little ReMiX freshens it up almost three years later! Hope it's still enjoyed. As always, thanks for making time to listen and/or comment. http://www.americanbluesscene.com/2011/11/a-brief-history-of-house-of-the-rising-sun/

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

I grew up listening to country music along with early Rock & Roll. Chuck
Berry was nicknamed "Father of Rock & Roll.  With such songs as
Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, Rock & Roll Music and Johnny B. Goode he topped the charts in the 1950's.  Every guitar player of my
generation played or tried to play Johnny B Goode.  He died March 18, 2017. No one does it like Chuck Berry, so I decided to do my version of Nadine as a tribute to the man.  Thanks

This song came to me all at once The Lyrics / Music everything. I had to get out of bed to capture the idea for a morning session.
LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

My Daddy Was A Carpenter - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Lizzie Taypen - Original

First of all thanks for dropping in on my page.
I sing, write songs and play rhythm guitar. I'm trying to learn a bit of bass. People tell me I've got a reasonable voice and I have a liking for melody. As I make my way with multi-track home recording, I'm hoping the the end result will be greater than the sum of the parts!
So again, thanks for dropping by. Hopefully you will take a listen to some of my songs and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you could leave a comment.
