Going Home- By Andrew LB Smith with R Grigg on guitar

Well, I'm far too gone for any social please
And I crushed the odds but I'm far from free
Gotta find a way to sustain
This numb feeling cause' it's always

In my head again
when I'm feeling this adrenaline
Of the whiskey that's been kickin' in
I hope that this will never end, I said
In my head again
When the problems started from within
And the truth begins a sinkin' in
I'm beggin' please just make this end, yeah

OH! I gotta feel it, getting near it all
Opened up a void that was a hole
Pour it down until it warms the soul
Gotta feel it, getting near it all

Feeling far too gone for any 'socialing'
And I'm way too young to have this disease
So you think I'm wrong? Let me tell you right
How I've all but won this fight

In my head again
when I'm feeling this adrenaline
Of the whiskey that's been kickin' in
I hope that this will never end, I said
In my head again
When the problems started from within
And the truth begins a sinkin' in
I'm beggin' please just make this end, yeah

OH! I gotta feel it, getting near it all
Opened up a void that was a hole
Pour it down until it warms the soul
Gotta feel it, getting near it all (x2)

The Present - Interplain / Robert Grigg

Composed circa 1978
I'm getting old and I'm quickly turning gray
Been married 15 years today.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

I'll mow the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
All I know is what I see 
I'm crying inside and I feel like screaming

Electric storm is in my head tonight
E. F. Hutton can you tell me who is right
Dow Jones is tumbling
Prudential's falling off the rock

Guitar solo by Matt Warnick

I'll cut the lawn and then I'll take the garbage out
It's clouding up now and it looks like rain.
But now I'm questioning just what I did with all the time
to clear my mind so I could feel much better.

Electric storm is in my head tonight
Please Mr. Thunder can you tell me who is right?
We don't smile anymore.
All we seem to do is fight. 

Always take an umbrella......

CLEAN MY SOUL
Here she come again knocking at my window
Wont she let me be
Here she come again messing with my syici
Someone set me free

She's like the wind blowing through my secrets
She's like a fire burning up my past
Ahead we run straight into the future
Wonder when this hell will pass

Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and wash me clean
Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and was me clean

Here I go again guess I am over thinking
Need some time away
Here I go again the ship thats always sinking
Bail out time today

She's like the wind blowing through my secrets
Like a fire burning up my past
Ahead we run straight into the future
Wonder when this hell will pass

Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and wash me clean
Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and wash me clean

Here we go again moving round in circles
One step two step three
Here we go again we aint getting nowhere
All to blind to see

She's like the wind blowing through my secrets
Like a fire burning up my past
Ahead we run straight into the future
Wonder when this hell will pass

Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and wash me clean
Take my soul take me to the river
Take me down and wash me clean

Another bizarro trot around the paddock with the inimitable The Phaige and Dairv W, my astral Neighbours. Gary sent over his backing before Santa loaded up the sleigh and D and I worked independently at first then bounced some ideas around. Gary meanwhile worked his magic with layer upon layer of synth and some really cool bass. D soars and flies magnificently. 
A real pleasure to work with these gents..great talent and always high quality. Modern, proggy music that I hope you enjoy

Medicine Man - Combstead, R Grigg

Brian Butts sent me a track and I added some leads. We had fun on this one!
Brian did a great job of creating a track that took me back to my 70s fusion listening roots! Amazing job, Brian Butts!

The art of living
This is a song about escape and freedom to be at one with nature and the elements .
we are living in strange days and my instincts tell me to go find the spirits of the great outdoors and reconnect with nature and find some grounding also i feel the need to create as artists we are currently stranded souls left on a empty beach waiting for everything to open  up and re-connect again .
I hope this song finds you some piece of mind as i make this music out  of love and creative purpose ...for now lets wait  for the dance to happen again ..over and out

The art of leaving

The Art Of Leaving

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home for around 23 years and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
