at the party
in your kaftan

hesitating never knowing what to say

sunday morning
ruffled pillows

what just happened, am i waking all alone
was i dreaming how come i can’t find my phone

heart is racing
head is spinning

my new boyfriend i don’t even know your name
be my boyfriend never thought i’d play this game
listen boyfriend you have left me overthrown
be my boyfriend you can even keep the phone

lyrics:
Can't obtain no fucking mortgage. 
And I can't pay no fucking rent.
I would rather you probe me 
than get fucked by our government
who attempts to control me 
and put nonsense in my head.
Who would rather see me
livin' in debt or end up dead.
Come and take me away.
Beam me into space.
Fly me to a planet
where there exists no hate or greed. 

Take me to Utopia.
Teach me all your ways.
Save me from dystopia.
It's time to turn the page.
Something better must exist
out there beyond the stars,
where everyone can love and live,
unlike what's become of ours.

utopia (with the Eclectic Collective)

This is a cool number that Chris and Eddy had been sitting on for about a year or so I believe.  They sent it to me and I really liked it.  I added some wacky percussion noises and the lead guitar throughout.  Then Chris put in some vocals.  was great working together with them.  It's called No Rush

Lyrics:
I don’t know where we went wrong.
Did we ever get off?
As the train moves along,
I’ll sing my railway song.
There’s no time to rush,
Should we get out and push?
No hungry mouths to hush.
I’m done hiding in the woods.
No rush, take your time.
There’s underdogs on the mainline.
No need to heed the signs.
We roll slow on this grind.
No rush, I’ll say it again.
You river rats that cooled my hand.
A blank stare and a grifter's grin.
“You’re just bluffing” said the drifter's friend.

No Rush - w/ eddyoffline and C.G. Maness

My lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

THEY HAVE GREAT MEMORIES
OF ROCKIN' IN THE SIXTIES
LISTENIN' TO CCR, BEACH BOYS,
JAN AND DEAN AND THE BEATLES

THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIP HOP
OR TODAY'S MODERN POP
THEY LOVE CCR'S WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN
AND THE RAINS STILL COMIN' DOWN

(CHORUS)
THOSE COOL OLD GUYS
HAVE NEVER BEEN SHY
WHEN THE MUSIC'S PLAYIN'
THEY'LL BE SWAYIN'
CAUSE THEY'RE COOL OLD GUYS

YOU MAY THINK THEY'RE OLD AND CRAZY
CAUSE THEY'RE CRAZY ABOUT MUSIC
IT KEEPS THEM WRITIN' AND PLAYIN'
AND IT KEEPS THEM GOIN'

THEY WILL NEVER LET THE MUSIC DIE
WILL KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON
AND KEEP THE MUSIC FLOWIN'
CAUSE THEY'RE COOL OLD GUYS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

This song originated with Mark creating a bass line to a metronome, and sharing it with Ken. Ken immediately added his driving drums, and invited the rest of the EC to join in. JJ was first up, laying in his foundational organ, and e. piano magic in the first half, and the cosmic synth melody in the second part. Batting second was Josh, who established the melody in the first half with his electric mandolin, and mirrors the melody in the second half with the same. Next came Tez, who laid in the funky guitar right after the first break, all the way to the end. Batting clean up was Chris, who laid in the psych guitar in the first section, as well as the high guitar part in the second movement. Of course, we needed an expert producer to mix this for us, so we turned to Stephen, who always gets it exactly to everyone's specifications. That in and of itself is quite a skill, and I don't know how he does it, but everyone is always satisfied with his work.
  This is the second song we've done with Mark, who is a tremendously talented bass player, and delightfully creative songwriter. If you aren't familiar with his work, do yourself a favor and hop on over to his page for some delicious bass music. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Crystals (2018) Anthology CD4 Track 11

Im just staring at the sun; wondering where my life has gone
Ive squandered it all away
On nothing of importance that I can surely say

What’s this life worth living for?
When there’s nothing left worth fighting for
What’s this life worth living for?

Ive been walking all night long; going over what went wrong
Ive thrown it all the way
On nothing of importance that I can surely say

What’s this life worth living for?
When there’s nothing left worth fighting for
What’s this life worth living for?

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
