N-Dispirited Revolution

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 ,,,,

Lyrics: 

I wrapped myself in self-pity
Heard a heavy ringing bell
Didn't think I could be unwrapped
Hidden walls that never fell..

So many layers of emotions
I knew I had to start
And when the first layer was removed
The rest began to fall apart..

Unwrap-app-ing  myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Now my soul is almost open
All the layers taken off
But I have left some walls
In case I don't have enough...

A new story will be written
New layers will come
But with an unwrapped soul
I can wrap myself with love...

Unwrap-app-ing myself
Unwrap-app-ing myself

Unwrap -app-Ing Myself  (Original)

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a late-night improvisation in the early 1990s.

I like to wine & dine you in the best
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
In this three point love affair x2

V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close
I’m enjoying this boys wait to see what’s under my coat )
Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times

3 Point Love Affair

I was going to write a song about a political figure, I won't say the but name I'll use his initials: 
🍊💩🤡.  But i decided he takes up too much space in my brain, and in the world consciousness,  as it is. Withholding people's food as a bargaining tool to take away their healthcare, is just another typical day here in the usa. Anyway, instead I made it  into a breakup song. kind of. I kept the original title
(Rerecorded the vocals and fixed some of the more glaring issues, and it is much easier to listen to now)

In case you forgot, 
Our house is still burning, 
You set it on fire and then you moved on
To the new home you’re wrecking

You think you've won 
Not because you’ve got everything 
But because you’ve got everything that i love
And now I'm easily forgotten

And That's the cruelest thing of all, 
You no longer see me here
And As i need and i bleed and i hurt and i grieve,
And everybody else thinks you're a knight on a steed

But me, I'm not mesmerized
I see right through your disguise
I see how little could you care
I see it all so clear

Do you remember 
the first thing you were taught when you were young
Did they show you how to care, show you how to share
And follow The golden rule

But you turned in to this
someone that doesn’t know what’s right from what is wrong
someone that only causes harm that only leaves you scarred
And suffers no consequence 

But that’s the strangest thing of all
they think you're some kind of hero
And that’s the strangest thing of all
While I'm standing in ashes of that mess you caused

This is something I've had in mind for a while, and was planning to put it out for Halloween, but I'm really slow.  It's a macabre spoken word thing about a travelling circus that's a little 'off' in dark and unsettling ways that you can't quite put your finger on. Originally I thought it would sound good as an old timey Delta Blues with acoustic guitar accompaniment. But since I can't play, I enlisted the help of a fellow Soundcloud artist whose music I admire, Remnant60 (@remnant60). It just so happened Bill had previously posted a guitar track that he left open for collaboration. I downloaded his track, but it was left on the shelf for a while, until this came along, and I thought it was a perfect fit. 
It kind of borders on the edge of creepy cool and just hokey. But it's a fun bit of storytelling, and I'm grateful to Remnant60 for letting me tinker with his wicked slide guitar track. 
I strongly recommend listening to this with headphones for the full effect. 
Hope you dig it!

LYRICS
A travelling circus creaked into our little town
They set up in Duggart’s field by the old burying ground
A ramshackle lot ‘neath the moonlight’s glare
With their trinkets and their theatre, put on an evening affair

Chorus
From village to village and from town to town
When the circus came they put their stakes deep in the ground
They promised spectacle, laughter and mirth
The travelling circus, the greatest show on Earth

Inside the big top it was crowded and hot
Everyone was kept waiting whether they wanted or not
Something in the tent corner was circled by flies
And I noticed a bruise under the flower girl’s eye

(Chorus)

The horses were skittish when they caught sight of a whip
And a big toothy grin was painted over the clown’s lips
The ringmaster never looks you quite straight in the eye
From the moment you enter he starts waving goodbye

(Chorus)

Travelling Circus (collab with Remnant60)
