Gliding

Undead rise up from the muddy grounds
Shadows lurking in the dead of night

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out

In a moment, in a dream we danced
As raindrops fell and washed away all fears
In dark hearts, a pure flame, of love
In this our moment before the end

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Can you feel, the shifting? 
Can you feel the change that's coming... 

Everything's in motion, and soon everything will change
Life will tear the both of us apart
I'll follow you down my love, knowing all is gonna be ok...
We're falling yet ascending knowing all is gonna be ok... 

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out
Come and see

Come & see

Come And See

If you have a hobby that allows you to retreat from the world and the hustle and bustle, you can consider yourself lucky. We have our music for that. Whether you compose music yourself, play a musical instrument, or simply listen to music, you have something that allows you to retreat and recharge, even though music itself can be demanding. This song is a tribute to “our secret downstairs room” where our music becomes reality. The song is 100% improvised. Each of us played his/her musical instrument and created this part: Benjamin E-guitar and E-bass, Michelle 1st/main piano, Jasmin strings and the 2nd piano. All of us wrote the lyrics and created the melody for the lyrics.
Our secret downstairs room
Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We sneak down the stairs tonight/ our secret downstairs room, our secret.
 Escape and get out off sight/Our secret….
To the secret room we have the key/Our secret…
A place of magic we wanna be/Our secret…

The walls echo our sound. Guitars played and drums pound. 
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

A place of magic and mystery where our own music can set us free
The guitar played hard, piano so soft, you hear our sound also above

Our secret downstairs room, our secret.
We play and the music gets loud/Our secret…
In this room we let it all out/…
We can Rock until the dawn/…
We hope this room it will live on/…

This place is more than just a room. It’s where we come to resume.
We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world.

It’s our own small secret getaway where we can forget the hectic of the day.
The guitar so  fast, piano so slow, that’s our own little private show.

We play all our songs no one’s ever heard and the music starts to take over our world….

Chemistry ( French Edit )

When I received the email asking me if I was interested in collaborating with Dirk from The Gatsbys even  before I heard the track the answer was yes.
When I heard the track I was blown away by the instrumental and the big Rickenbacker sound.
The Rick sound had always been a big influence on my 90s band This Elegant Chaos. So it was a pleasure to be involved writing lyrics and singing on the track .
The song is a true story based on an extremely close friendship that spans from kids to the present day.
And how the dynamics of friends choices  in parters later in life changes how that friendship develops. 
Still always best friends because that we never change but that doesn’t mean the relationship doesn’t.
What’s ever said and done and when there’s nothing left to defend you will always defend them to the end. That’s just how it is. 

 Nothing Left To Defend (Lyric’s) 

V1
We don’t see each other like we used to do 
She as your location keeping  tabs on you 

Bridge 2
We’ve been tight since we were kids
We argued you even broke my ribs
From the boxing club to the paired bout
I swung a right it nearly knocked you out 

V2
To me  you were my mothers other prodigal son
She loved you like her own called her son of a gun 

Bridge 1

We layed down the gloves and then we hugged 
Walked straight out of that  boxing club 
Swore never to fight each other again
And save ourselves from jellybrain 

Chorus 1
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the  end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
Like brothers in arms we bare the scars 


V3
From the rowdy pubs to the mirrorballs hanging in  the night clubs
You attracted trouble wherever ever you stood 
I wouldn’t change a thing we had the world at our feet 
And if it was a movie I’d play it all  on repeat 

Bridge 3

God I miss you & those nights out
When life was more than a roundabout 
And now it’s just one of those things
It was Never To Much  we would sing 

Long Chorus 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
It’s blood brothers  to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend
Like brothers in arms we bare the scars

Nothing Left to Defend by Gaz Brownie & The Gatsbys

Hey…. I am sitting inside now, it is snowing, and quite cold for October. I noticed deer tracks in the snow and what looks like a gathering around the crab apple trees, as the deer munched down on apples. Later, I picked a bunch of apples from the higher branches and cleared off the foot of snow on the ground then piled up some apples for all who wants them. About 3 weeks ago, I went outside late at night to close up the garage. I had a strange feeling that there might be a bear in the yard. No sounds or sighting, just an intense hunch. The next day I went out to do some gardening and on the way back to the garden I spotted a huge pile of bear scat behind the spruce trees. It was full of half digested apples, a telltale sign of late season bear scat. That was a first. For me anyway. And maybe for the bear too. It reminded me of when I was a boy and a large group of us were camping in the wilderness. The dads told us to be careful about leaving food out. There was a heavy ‘bear box’ at the campsite where we stored the food. So what did us kids do? We threw a bunch of leftovers into the woods. Shortly thereafter we were visited by 3 bears. One dad, a huge man nicknamed Spike, confronted and chased the bears off. He was bigger than the bears and had a way worse growl. Then us kids got a good chewing out, and found ourselves on supervised cleanup duty, like a chain gang, getting all the food out of the woods. We deserved it, but were happy to see those bears. Anyway, I noticed the bear had eaten almost all the apples from under the trees. The bear was probably super happy to find all those apples. I was glad to help the bear get ready for winter and hibernation. The process of bears eating as much as they can before hibernation is called hyperphagia. I wish I could sleep all winter too, and wake up in the Spring. Anyway, this is a slide guitar Blues. I sing with a vocal personality that fits the song. Lyrics were about an experience of mine around 47 years ago, and from a different perspective of the same experience in an old song of mine called Blackbirds, where I sat under the same willow tree as thousands of migrating blackbirds passed by, at times landing in the willow, then swooping down in thirsty murmurations, to get a drink from the creek. I’d just sit there with blackbirds all around me. And of course both songs are about this particular woman I took a fancy to way back when. That never panned out like I thought it might. So it goes in this life for me. Hope you like the song, and thanks for dropping by, Mark
