Time and Tide

Time and tide they wait for no-one
You feel it when you’re melancholy 
Oh so down and blue 
So don’t fill your cup with sorrow 
And lace it with bad news 
Open up your eyes 
See the brand new skies 
Stretching overhead 

Lips that touched the brim of knowing 
What is good and felt it glowing 
But never took a drop 
You’re wanting something better 
And hope it comes along 
Remember time’s not tide 
Once it’s offered you a ride 
Won’t come this way again

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails 
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
And when you take that stride
Spread your wings and glide 
Let loose all the threads 

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails 
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
Remember time’s not tide 
Once it’s offered you a ride 
Won’t come this way again

When the moon pulls on the ocean 
And makes you feel so melancholy 
Oh so down and blue 
Don’t fill your cup with sorrow 
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes 
See the brand new skies 
Stretching overhead 
Reach for them instead.

Time and Tide

I wrote this song circa 2018, when I used to write and perform as a solo artist.
In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I'd dig it out from my archives, re-record some parts and add some additional instruments to bring it back to life.

Lyrics:

Crawling up from beneath
From beneath the dirt and the grass
The stars are out I was greeted by the moon
I turn my head
See my name carved into the stone
No flowers here
No visitors to my bones

Chorus
When the day turns to night
You better run and hide
Cause I am a creature of the night

I will be out of sight
Keeping to the shadows of the night
Just searching for my next delight
When you think your are safe
I will strike you from behind
And drain you of your life

Instruments used:
I either used my Faith Neptune or Mercury Acoustic Guitar, I can't remember which model but I think it was the Neptune - I believe I recorded the guitar by placing just one industry standard Shure SM57 mic in front of the guitar near to the 12th fret.
I used the same mic to record my vocals.
Gibson Les Paul Studio
Fender Precision Bass

Plugins used:
Line 6 Helix Native 
Spitfire Audio - Labs - Cello Moods 
The Crow Hill Company - Vaults - Wavering Choir
EZ Drummer 3

Tribute to the Trees  (Remix 2025)

Love you so (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

Written by Glenny G ( October 1st 2025 )
Run Another Mile  ( Poem )
One single moment , your out of time
This has to be or you fall behind
And then you find it , you want to be
All of the things that you said to me
You keep on running , Running another mile 
You keep on running , Running another mile

Your full of love , Your full of hate
Laying down when you wait
So divine , inside the jade
You run along and you find your way
And keep on running , running another mile
And keep on running , Running another mile

Your sick of time , Your sick of faith 
Your sick of all the human race
Your hardened heart , Your head in hand
Your hoping for a place to land
SOLO ( Guitar )
You keep on running , Running another mile
You keep on running , Running another mile........

Run Another Mile ( Original with Lyrics )

Streets

An upbeat pop song which features a brass section and some cool acoustic guitar playing from Saul B. To me, it’s ended up with a retro 70’s feel even though I used a whole heap of synths to add some extra interest. I hope the arrangement works and I really hope you enjoy listening!

Time to Go

As the seasons pass, autumn in Japan is beautiful. The mountains begin to turn red. It seems that a red carpet has been laid out around the temple deep in the mountain.

Red Carpet

Have you ever had a good night's sleep disturbed by a persistent mosquito? If so you'll know how frustrating it can be.
With thanks to the author Verna Aardema (writer of the book 'Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears') for the inspiration.

Special thanks to Sergi Yaro for his a cappella....
