Look To The Sky - Combstead / Robert Grigg

"Wants you to know" is one written for the ladies.  It is a post-breakup song about a strong, bright, beautiful, and confident woman who's been hurt, broken, and moved on.  She leaves town and leaves the past behind her but she isn't running away, she's running to her future and on to amazing things.

The lyrics starts off with a brand new day, going out for a ride in a hot car and feeling good.  In the second verse, she's leaving town but she's not running away.   She's "running to her future" and doing so with a new tattoo.  People tend to get tattoos for meaningful things and changes in their life.  She's making a big change and moving on to bigger and better things.  When the chorus comes in at the end, we learn that she threw away everything she was given in that bad relationship, the memories have gone away so whoever hurt her means nothing to her now, and she wants someone to know.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She’s ready to start a brand-new day
All those memories are so far away

Push the seat back
Drop the top down 
Fasten the seat belt
Crank up the music

Fixes her mascara
In the rear-view mirror
Gives herself a wink
Says ‘damn I look good’

[Verse 2]
Feeling free and ditching this old town
Maybe someday she’ll see you around

With a new tattoo
She’s running to her future
Like a shooting star
Bright and beautiful
Wishing you knew her
Wishing you had her
Watch her tail as 
It likes up the sky
[guitar lead]

[Chorus]
Ooo She threw it all away
All the things you gave
She threw them away

Ooo She threw it all away
The memories you made
She threw them away

She wants you to know

Wants You To Know

IRGENDWAS VERGEHT prod robvisual

Where buffalo roam,
all the grass is overgrown.
There's a wind that carries them across the sky.

Now you're feeling all alone.
There's some people on their phones.
Who stare at you and see what they want to see.
Oh, of course their going out.
They have to scream it out. 
But, they will never disagree with what they think.

And you won't get the throne.
He's not even on the phone.
Not disappointed not the same as being proud.
An action that you see.
Could really show that you're not me.
Not heading anywhere together now.

Rather than sinking,
into your black hole.
You'll just find me thinking of
where buffalo roam.

Where buffalo roam.
There's nowhere else to go.
Face the danger. 
Hope your size will get you out.

And I can never be.
Any more than what you see.
The only place that I exist is in your head.
The sigh you gave to me.
Is this where I make a plea?
I'll just say guilty there is nothing left to lose.

Now there's nothing left without,
and what's within in is burning out.
I'll make it policy to leave them well alone.

Rather than sinking,
into your black hole.
You'll just find me thinking of
Where buffalo roam.

Where Buffalo Roam

Five on a Journey

A re-mastered and finely-tuned version of this song from our third album

LYRICS:

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain

You fell in with a band of miscontents
They taught you how to think in just the present tense
Life seemed pretty sweet for a time, on the sunshine coast with a bottle of wine
Until the past caught up, put you back into line again

We can do anything

If you marry me, we’ll make this all real
Our souls we’ll adorn with faith that we’ll steal
A look in the eye, a kiss on the mouth
With hearts open wide we keep moving south

Take a breath and you’re back on track again
Engine on and the fire is crackling
Take my hand and we’ll run through the sand to where the ocean spray brings an end to the land
And we can swim along to the sound of the mandolin

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain

Keep Moving South [2022 Rework]

Summit - Jon Richardson

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 sice around 1990 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!
