One collective location for all my tracks.  This list will update as I complete songs, with each of the songs on the playlist added in the order recorded...as you listen, you'll hear me unwind, my recording engineering skills devolving from today, going back nearly two decades to when I recorded the first song in the list, using Cakewalk and a computer microphone wayyyyy back in 2004,

43 and counting....100+ to go.

Shine

We drove past last night, just to see it shine
Right there for everyone to see and it’s all mine
I felt the soft twist, nerves messing with my mind
Another twenty-four hours and we’ll be under lights

Before tonight, did you know my name?
Shine.  Down on me.

Soft twist turns to nails.  Everything’s sped up.
Some people forget but I can’t figure how.
By the time they draw the curtain, I’ll be ready to play.
Five words live in me – ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE

Before tonight, did you know my name?
Shine.  Down on me.

Sweat displays my ecstasy, every drop like a dream
Living for the hope that you’ll feel the same, that you’ll feel the music in me
I’m alive now, so alive now, step inside and take a ride through my mind.
Take your time, fantasize, step inside, I can feel you shine!

Down on me.
Shine.  Down on me

Did you step inside?  Did you get to unwind?  Did you let it all go and lose yourself in the night?
Did you live the dream?  Did you live it through me?  Did you let it all go?  Did you set yourself free.

Did you get to?  X3 
Shine.  Down on me.

SHINE (Fuzzy Grubb - 2003)

Why Don’t You Stay?

Verse

What makes us act so strange?
What makes us run away?
We never used to
Tell me what has changed?

We fell down from this cloud
Lay broken on the ground
Our lives turned upside down
Things go away

Chorus

But your sunshine is so bright
And I miss your morning light
I see you, I can’t look away
And I’m begging darling, why don’t you stay?

Verse

Dreams of the early days.
Keep getting in the way.
One of loves mysteries is how it fades



Why do we play these games?
Guess nothing stays the same.
Erase our memories
What’s left to say?


Chorus

But your sunshine is so bright
And I miss your morning light
I see you, I can’t look away
And I’m begging darling, why don’t you stay?

Why Dont You Stay

Verse 1
The morning comes, glad I'm alive
Roll over, feel the light.
Sweet morning dew, cold mountain chill
Above a golden morning sky

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Verse 2
Across the hills, a burning fog
Last ember glows and then it's gone
The smell of grass, swimming in the creek.
Swaying with the trees, the sun is holding me.

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Verse 3
I watched in awe, horizon rose, across the sky and earth it bled
Such perfect grace, I stood amazed
My shadow stretched and I was humbled again.

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Something About Sunrise

Small Town Tales 
(Written by:  Eric Shay & Jeremy Brizzi)
 

Verse 1 
She likes a smalltown bar, a simple wink from afar 
Harmless, as her smile shifts. around the room, a sudden change 
A statement or a claim of innocence, I’m reassured but I feel strange 
In a room of strangers with dim lights 

PreChorus 
Monday winds downs 
My love for her is strong 
Deep inside I frown 
 
Chorus 
But I play along, bestowed upon these clowns 
Just one more drink 
I won’t stay long 

Verse 2 
Her words to me are real but left actions intertwined. 
With stares, drawn out hugs. flirtations to say the least 
To the small city streets that never cease to tell the tale beyond words 
Subtle and direct but never heard, or simple dismissal, her rejoice to be free 

PreChorus 
Monday winds downs 
My love for her is strong 
Deep inside I frown 
 
Chorus 
But I play along, bestowed upon these clowns 
Just one more drink 
I won’t stay long 

Bridge 
This bar stool is where we go to forget. 
And this ghost town is a place no one has left 

Chorus 
Just one more drink 
I won’t stay long

Small Town Tales (Bray & the Astral Projections)

I don't feel like a farmer's son
On the road, don't know where I'm going
Want to stay somewhere that I belong but I don't feel like being anyone

And I, I'm barely getting by.

I feel the fear but I don't ever let on
And no one gets inside, not past these yellow skies
I weather day by day, never losing hope
Waiting for someone to love.

Yes I, I'm barely getting by

Trying to shed this cold stormy soul
And I can't live my life by candlelight, not anymore
All these shadows are closing in on me
Cleanse myself, my phobia in the rain

And I, I'm barely getting by.

I don't feel like a farmer's son
I take what people give me and I run
Try to justify this life that I've undone
Have I turned my back on love

Yes I, I'm barely getting by.

Farmer's Son

Roosters crow’n with the morning light - and we rise at the brink of dawn
Coffees on hot and it’s say goodbye to tired eyes, get your britches on

Im still tired as a dog at the end of the day
I yell grits, yeah, I’m always running home
And we all come running home

I Got You On My Mind

(This is dedicated to my Step-Dad and to his battle with dementia.  It’s a song about time, how things are constantly changing, and yet, when you look in the mirror, there you are, and yet the decay, the age, mistakes and wisdom, one can hope, at the end of the day, no matter what has been had, what has been lost, you will have at least one thing, even if just a hand full, of beautiful memories…of people, pain, loss, love, hope, and everything in between.  Yet, for some, the curse is to look in the mirror and have nothing, to have lost it all, that sense of fear, grief, and frustration..  my step dad lost everyone in the end.  There were only two people he recognized.  My Mom and I - a blessing I will always be grateful to have had).  He was a beautiful man and this song, in all the irony of the lyrics, is for him.  

Verse
Was a time, a time to play, time to pray
All that time, what a waste, what a pity, oh fool, shake my walls, blow me down.

Just a face, unaware, just another day.
Just a phase, all we had, it’s a crime
oh pity, oh fool, mind your head when you fall 

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Verse
In the dark, in the back, what a way to live, you a dance I could never forget, oh pity oh fool, tell me who I see now so

Like a dream, but nightmares are dreams too, in my head, but my mind I stilI find you, oh pity, oh fool, take my hand lead me out 

Chorus
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Not a game, never same, we all fade away, but these tricks, it’s so hard to find you, oh pity oh fool, seems all is lost now

In the end, through the tears and the madness, find a smile as you echo among us, oh pity of fool, are you here with me now.  

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

I've Got You On My Mind

Capricious Or Copernicus

Mulberry Hill 

Verse 1 

Will all your friends come to say goodbye? 

Will they see your name in the paper and cry? 

Will they think back and smile and remember the times 

All those summer days just riding bikes down Mulberry Hill 

Chorus 

May your years be happy 

May they bring you joy 

May there be something left in this world we didn’t destroy.

If you find you’re (GM) empty 

You can look to the (GM) past 

Just sit and close your eyes 

Let me take you back 

Verse 2 

Will too much time have passed between 

Your memories and reality 

Do you stand alone 

Is everyone you know gone 

Or have they forgotten 

These childhood dreams of Mulberry Hill 

Chorus Repeats

Mulberry Hill

The Dance

Your head on my shoulder as if in a dream
The music box plays as I rock you to sleep

And we danced 
Yes we danced
Oh that dance
That we danced

The years and the distance, no matter the time
Our song it still plays, never changed in my mind 

And we danced
Yes we danced
Oh, that dance
That we danced

And now your light, as it shines in another’s eyes
You dance 

To see you and to hear another song 
As you dance

Forever my little girl

From my seat, in this place, and on your day
I smile, close my eyes, and I’m proud to say

That we danced 
Yes we danced
Oh, that dance
That we danced

We Danced (A Ballad for Caitlyn)

If That Aint Country (Nothing Is) 

VERSE 1 
Wildflowers on the prairie 
Rope swing on the cherry tree 
Braiding crowns out of sweet grass 
Daydreaming about everything 

PRECHORUS  
Sunsetting and she’s still outside. 
Trading butterflies for starry nights 
Her nail polish is the dirt inside. 
No horses but she’s riding high. 

CHORUS 
If that ain’t country, nothing is. 
She’s got a heart like Dixie. 
Brown eyes that smile in the rain 
Patsy Cline would lose her mind. 
Johnny Cash would walk the line. 
Bocephus would tip his hat and C grin. 
If that ain’t country nothing is. 

VERSE 2 
I blame it all on her roots. 
Vivaldi on her violin. 
Ain’t a fiddle but it’s just the same. 
She makes the devil RUN. 
 
PRECHORUS  
Suburban girl in secondhand boots 
That kids got a heart of gold. 
Aw come on now she’s like a southern wind. 
Take her hand, let her carry you home. 

CHORUS 
If that ain’t country, nothing is. 
She’s got a heart like Dixie. 
Brown eyes that smile in the rain 
Patsy Cline would lose her mind. 
Johnny Cash would walk the line. 
Bocephus would tip his hat and C grin. 
If that ain’t country nothing is. 

BRIDGE 
When we’re on the road again. 
Here by my side my highway kid 
If that ain’t country nothing is. 
Waylon, Willy, Charlie Pride 
I ain’t saying step aside. 
But you can’t deny this kid. 
If she ain’t country, no one is 

VERSE 3 
Fireflies and a full blue moon 
Humming Chattahoochee is her favorite tune. 
Piggyback ride in Daddy’s cowboy hat  
It’s a dance that we’ll never forget.  

PRECHORUS  
Her bicycle is her pickup truck. 
By the pond, skipping rocks, and counting her luck 
She’s a nature girl, she’s my beautiful world.  
Two-steppin through my heart everyday 

CHORUS 
If that ain’t country, nothing is. 
She’s got a heart like Dixie. 
Brown eyes that smile in the rain 
Patsy Cline would lose her mind. 
Johnny Cash would walk the line. 
Bocephus would tip his hat and C grin. 
If that ain’t country nothing is.

If That Aint Country

Storm Comin’

Verse 1
Under the night
Behind the calm
Whispers break the silence
To come undone
And the winds begin to swirl
The stars all disappear 
The air is thicker now with something 
A storm is coming

Verse 2
There go the lights
There goes the calm
Children in the corner 
All come undone
And the winds begin to howl
The walls begin to shake
The dreams so fragile shatter
A storm is coming

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Bridge/as Rap Section
Every relationship that I ever had 
Has always ended bad
And I wonder if it’s me
Literally sabotaging everything 
breathing in anxiety
Overcome with jealousy, 
it’s deep inside of me,  
the best of me. the best I had
I throw it all away, 
I run away, 
a human hand grenade
Will I ever be enough, what it did to me, losing everything 
Alone, the only way I know to be 
I pull the pin and wait in pain  
There’s no serenity 
surround myself with violence
All the yelling and the screaming 
Just a dreamer always dreaming 
it seems that everyone has their demons
Am I Selfish to the bone
Or just accustomed to the tone
Of all this ringing in my ears from when my broken home exploded
I was Misled and misused, I got used to the abuse 
But can I rise up from my station 
From the way that I was raised
This storm a beast, Can I face it
running away I can’t erase it 
Am I strong enough to change it

Verse 3
And when it’s passed
The trail it leaves
All this devastation 
All fallen trees
And the winds still bring a chill
The latchkey victims quake
The stars all burn out 
Nothing escapes
Something is coming 

Chorus
And you are not alone my child 
I can hold you for a while 
We may never heal the damage is done 
Oh, despite the scars we build a life

Pending

Storm Coming

One of a kind 

See that girl dancing in the street
High heels on she don’t miss a beat
Reel’s em in, and got her hooks in me
But aint nobody ride for free

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Dripping honey, yeah she so damn sweet
Gotta get in line if you wanna piece 
Just a taste, she sinks in her teeth
That goddamn girl is the end of me

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Sweet like candy, blow your mind 
<Yayo baby>
Keep you humming all the time 
<Yayo honey>
Stand you up and lay you down 
<All right all right> 
Put you six feet in the ground

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Another Day Alive

It was one peculiar moment
A mishap came about 
That was then, this is now
Finally build this house

Is this true or some Fantasy 
Is this true, what I dreamt about
Building to death is what I’ll do. 

Watch the waves come in
Watch me float out 

It’s where the dreams come forth
Dying trying to live this 
Nothing in life I can’t beat out 
Only my time

Is this true or some Fantasy 
Is this true, what I dreamt about
Building to death is what I’ll do. 

Watch the waves come in
Watch me float out

Crashing Sea

Lullabies at night
Mother shuts the light
Still afraid of the dark
In the violet glow of the machinery
Do you still dream in this sleep

All the things that you can’t see
Still terrifying me

We lean into illusion
But the fear grows anyway

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

Mother cries at night
Stays by her side
All is lost to the dark
All these memories
All you’ll ever be
With us now that your gone

All the things you’ll never see
Your dreams written down for me

There’s songbird in the morning
As the darkness fades away

It’s like a crashing sea
Waves coming down on me
I am crushed beneath the weight
Its like a crashing sea
And I can barely breathe
Beneath the surface, is there no escape

And I’m hold out for love
And I’m hanging on for you
Is there nothing I can do

Crashing Sea (Renegade - Jeremy On Vocals)

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb tune, written in collaboration with Sam Fiorenza, James Seguin, and Dave Homuth.  Not yet completed, we will be adding a proper guitar solo soon.

I met a girl on a Tuesday night
She turned out to be Gemini
Red hair and grey green eyes that could light up a room like a firefly
She turned me on with her devilish smile
Said she might keep me around for a while
Wednesday came and I was half in lust, I didn't even know that I could fall in love
Thursday morning and I hadn't slept, she kissed me once and the other half went
In Friday never looking back, my heart still pounding as the love flows in
Saturday and she said goodbye, no explanation as she walked away

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

Tuesday morning and I want to die
No womans ever made my cry
I'm burned out like a suicide and all that I can see is that devil's smile
Wednesday morning and I pick up my head but the pains so strong that I lose it again.
Feels like forever with each breathe that I take and in the morning I wake and I feel only pain
Thursday comes and I'm almost alright
Looking forward to this Friday night
A Newcastle sets my mind at ease, Saturday I wake up and my mind is free

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

She said to me, how's it gonna be
When the time gets here, where you gonna go
When the time comes, are you gonna explode
Are you gonna know when you've got to break it down
You've got to sing the song
and then you break it down
and then she broke me down
and when she broke me down
she really brought me down

Sunday (Fuzzy Grubb - 2003)

This is a dedication song for the people of Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, and the glorious Wrexham A.F.C.  Plenty of symbolism and intentional meaning in this one too.  We're going up said three times, We rise said three times!  Champions!   We believe!

I Do

Everything I am because of you
The fire burns to dream you made it true 
We rise up from the ashes 
Who believes 
I do 

Stand and raise your eyes, you’ll come to see 
Long enough, my friend you’ve carried me 
My turn to have your back
Do you believe 
I do

This city on our shoulders we all sing together 
I do 
We rise we rise we rise we fight

Brave enough, the passion live in me
Champions us all in victory
How far we have to go
Do you believe
I do 

This city on our shoulders we all sing together 
I do

We rise we rise we rise we fight
We rise we rise we rise we fly

New Born Baby

Verse
I feel like a new born baby, wipe my tears and spank me, all the ways you'll fuck me up, maybe you don't know

Verse
I feel like a feral puppy, throw me scraps and kick me, begging you to love me, until you put me down

Was it all the whining, did I remind you of something, that made me let you go

Bridge
Close your eyes, I won't bite, say your mine
Close your eyes, please don't bite, say goodbye

Verse 
You say that you don't love me, that you're gonna leave me, that I'm not enough, as you dance in the rain

Verse
I feel like a supernova, failed the constellation, fade from view when the light is gone, like there's no escape

Was it all the crying, was I only dreaming, did I drive you away
Was I lost in the distance, was it imagination, we ever danced anyway

New Born Baby
