Well written song with a wrenching delivery, nice!

this is a beautiful song, and beautifully played/sung.

love the laid-back tune & your voice, feels like an old sweater.


Big black bird spinning round your head
Flat on your back feeling good as dead
Sea of sky goes round and round
Coming closer to the ground
So low you drown in blue
  
Big black bird looking down on you
No use in running from the bitter truth 
Raise a glass invite him in
Say a prayer for the living                           
Grab that old crow by the tail
And fly….and fly
 
Hold on tight take another ride on high
Blinded by light scream your battle cry

That old crow ain’t never gonna leave you alone
Perched in a bottle with skulls and crossbones
Let him fly high every night
No matter how you try
You fly a little nearer to the fire
              
And you fly………, and you fly……. and you fly………and you fly……
You fly, you fly, so high in the sky
Fiery wings melt in the light 
And you fall to the ground without a sound 
        
And you fly…….. and you fly………and you fly…

This song is for the person that you love. 

One of my earliest memories is watching the 1985 Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl for American Football. I have always loved Chicago sports teams, and have rediscovered my love for the game after many years away. 

On December 20th, my daughter and I watched the Bears vs. Packers game on TV.  They are intense rivals, and the Bears had lost against them just two weeks earlier in a very close game that came down to the wire. During halftime she went to sleep because quite frankly we weren't playing all that great and we were losing.  But after the break, the Bears slowly started finding their game, and made what was one of the most improbable comebacks in NFL history.  

I wanted to wake her up and tell her, but it was past midnight when the game finished because they went into overtime. But her favorite player, DJ Moore, caught the game winning touchdown in the most dramatic fashion. So this song is about how I would have to wait until the morning to tell her the good news. 

It’s You

When you had left for bed
You’d never think we’d win
The way that we came back to prove
It wasn’t just a fluke, for every time we’d lose
But this time there was no excuse
But now I’ll have to wait
To say to you it made
All the waiting worth the ache

I wish tomorrow here at last 
So I can tell the day that passed
When I’ll wake up and see the face
That takes me to a brighter place
It’s you, It’s you, It’s you

Some days I wasn’t sure 
If we could ever win
Most times I couldn’t bet to lose
And every time I think
I’m lost beyond the brink
You were there to pull me through
And though we struggled at the line
This time we made it through!

I wish tomorrow here at last 
So I can tell the day that passed
When I’ll wake up and see the face
That takes me to a brighter place
It’s you, It’s you, It’s you

And now today is here at last
And I have seen enough that’s past
And what we have is all we need
I can be the best me
With you, with you, with you

It's You

In case you can help Benny 🙋🏽‍♂️ Cheers

The Beautiful Dark

Born of space
Just black and fields
With not much haste
Mighty matter congeals
Near' ineffable time
Our hydrogen ark
Grooved gravity grind
Till star light spark

We are now Sun
Light for these fields
The beautiful dark broods heavier yields
Near ineffable time for our fallible fixed
Cometh life for dark space remixed

The beautiful dark to the beautiful light
Let's not confuse this hydrogen bright
Space trees
Space leaves
Space beings
Feelings
Reason on you as to what it all means

We got scared by our short time
So we made life after our fleeting fine
Maybe attention doesn't tend to time full
Maybe no fear thanks real life till time cull

We are now Sun
Light for these fields
The beautiful dark broods heavier yields
Near ineffable time for our fallible fixed
Cometh life for dark space remixed

_____________________________

Decided to write one for my artist name. TBD refers to a couple of things. We come from the black of space and once we accept the unimaginable amounts of time relative to our short lives that evolution needs to make us, that looks to be our reality.
I also feel we can only know our good/light sides by knowing and controlling our bad/dark sides so in a very real way, we can only appreciate a moral good with a reference of what we truly feel is morally wrong. So I do strive to be as good a person as I can be but I accept that I have the potential to be an entity which doesn't benefit the evolution of our collective too and can learn and observe those traits from too many dark and evil dickheads on this planet. I think we need to appreciate the full spectrum of behavior to be able to settle on a course for our lives which can make this a better life and hopefully a better world before we check out.
So for me my artist name is an existential reference and it's not a negative meaning which it may come across as. It's laying bare what I believe we may miss, to appreciate our dark sides properly through conscientious observation of our own self and others so we can avoid being that being of unessesary suffering. That way we can endeavour to be people born of the sun accepting the cards we've been dealt, the moments we've met, in the place we happened to find ourselves and that's so amazing.
We are alive and we get to paint our own meaning to this beautiful life through thick and thin 🔆 Thanks Universe 🌌

welcome to reality

THE HARBOR is my first song written for 2026.  Based on the metaphoric saying
  " riding ones coat tails."  Set in the early days of wooden ships , romance and exploration. Around the year 1781  This idea came to me in a dream .
Lyrics by Glenny G and Performed by his " One Man Band"
THE HARBOR
Yeah You want to come along
You won't because you don't belong
Yeah You want to ride along
Your lost in another song
I have to go , I have to go , I have to go away
Sitting in a parlor 
Drinking tea from a silver cup
Waiting by the harbor
The girl and  her lonesome dove
 I have to go , I have to go, I have to go away
You want to come along 
Because Your coat is way to long
You want to come along
Together it  feels so strong
I have to go I have to go away
( Guitar Solo )
You want to come along
Your coat is way to long
You want to come along
But Together it all  seems  wrong
I have to go, I have to go, I have to go

The Harbor ( Original With Lyrics ) song one 2026

An original country-folk song that laments lost love with the regrets expressed through a  Wizard Of Oz analogy. Essentially all play and no work will catch up with you….

I guess it was overdue, ain’t no surprise
That another man’s over you
Looking deep in your eyes 
If I’d only stayed sober you might never have gone
Now I’m left to get over you
And you’re moving on, yeah, you’re moving on 

You, were half of my party girl
And I, was the Wizard of Oz
Where houses take flight
And the Tin Man, he gets tight
Where love seems to be a lost cause 

Now I know it was Kansas, guess we took a wrong turn
Cause a scarecrow that dances, 
Will surely get burned 
Looking over my shoulder to know you weren’t far
Now I’m left to get over you
Guess I ain’t too smart, with no courage or heart

You, were half of my party girl, 
And I, was the Wizard of Oz
Where houses take flight
And the Tin Man, he gets tight
Where love seems to be a lost cause
(Somewhere over the rainbow, that’s where I’ll find you)                                   Where houses take flight
And the Tin Man, he gets tight
Where love seems to be a lost cause
Love seems to be, well it always seems to me, uh huh huh

Getting Over You

For me, writing music is like my soul coming up for air. My body and my conscious mind are, much of the time, held down under society's expectations. When my spirit can't breathe, it bursts forth and takes control. It fights with my conscious mind, and the struggle is exhausting. But, when my soul wins, the feeling of liberty is inexplicable. Singing is like this, too. I am who I am meant to be through music.
