Name: Commit by Robert Grigg in Thinking Up Some Cool Stuff
Duration: 4 min 38 s
Description: Guitars, bass, vocals and keyboards by Robert Grigg.

That bass hits just right — punchy but still clean and smooth.

although he was def. NOT a religious person the vocals have a little Frank Zappa to them

Gostei da musica, empolga, tem efeitos diversificados, boa sincronia, levada e reviravoltas bem elaboradas

Awesome track full of energy and fine lines.  Another great work, Robert. 10/10as usual

Hey Robert,
We’ve been listening to your tracks and really dig your sound. Just curious would you love to do live performances and maybe even go on tour? We’d be excited to explore how we could help make that happen.

Lady Low

The lift breaks again
Seven flights of steps
I curse each one
I already miss you

A stranger complains
about the coffee taste
but all I can think
is the sound you make

The meeting drags on
Someone presents the slides
Their voice is a drone
my mind slips aside

I draw your outline
in the corner of notes
No one suspects
where my mind has gone

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

Lunch in the canteen
plastic and gray
They ask about deadlines
I nod, walk away

Your face in my mind
serene and absurd
You rarely speak
yet you speak every word

They bargain with minutes
they measure the day
But meaning is elsewhere
I've left it with you
I already miss you

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

And then
the door swings wide open
You greet me with cuddles and fur
with thunder of purr
with eyes that forgive the whole day

I missed you
You missed me
And nothing could be truer

I Already Miss You

Low Tech

Sacred Time

Dad’s in rehab, we go to visit
We meet the people on his floor
Like we were locked in a car
Heading toward a cliff
When someone opened the door

There’s Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tapestry 
And the phonograph needle skips 
And there’s a handsome guy
In the patients’ lounge
With scars on his wrists

(Chorus:)
And we’re all here
Not a moment too soon
Trying to lean on each other 
In this room
And we’re all desperate
Just to know if it lasts 
Can we really escape
The hazards of the past?
There’s something
Death-defying
There’s something sublime
We just try to stay
In the moment
In this sacred time

Dad is smiling and everyone’s smiling
Haven’t seen that for a while
And when I look in the mirror
Age fifteen
I see his smile

And someone’s leaving
And someone’s coming
The little group evolves
We huddle over games and coffee
And firm resolves

(Chorus:)
And we’re all here
Not a moment too soon
Trying to lean on each other 
In this room
And we’re all desperate
Just to know if it lasts 
Can we really escape
The hazards of the past?
There’s something
Death defying
There’s something sublime
We just try to stay
In the moment
In this sacred time

Sacred Time

A song written for the No Kings march held on October 18, 2025

Lyrics
[verse]
An old vet lays at the overpass.
Gallon of milk, by his head.
P.T.S.D… bites him fast.
While he sleeps on a concrete bed.

Ice! is forming everywhere.
Black, blue and camouflage.
Who they grab, they just don't care.
It's political sabotage.


[chorus]
Remember!  There's strength in masses!
This king is fake!  tarnished bronze!
Eliminate!  right-wing fascists!
We are America's pawns! America's pawns!


[verse]
Give the rich, more tax cuts.
Keepin' 'em happy is the goal.
You see, cheaters have no guts.
Nor do they have a soul.

When you need a little aid.
Some help up off the floor.
No matter how long you pray.
They always punish the poor.


[chorus]
Remember!  There's strength in masses!
This king is fake!  tarnished bronze!
Eliminate!  right-wing fascists!
We are America's pawns!  America's pawns!


[verse]
Media spews worthless news.
Lies from corporate owners.
Pushing right-wing views.
Plus those of crooked donors.

They love their guns, it's crystal clear
While our kids get shot and bleed.
Losing power is their only fear.
Their DNA drips with greed.


[chorus]
Remember!  There's strength in masses!
[background chanted] No Kings!

This king is fake! tarnished bronze!
[background chanted] No Kings!

Eliminate!  right-wing fascists!
[background chanted] No Kings!

We are America's pawns!  America's pawns!


[solo: guitar]


[ chorus ]
Remember!  There's strength in masses!
[background yelled] No Kings!

This king is fake! tarnished bronze!
[background yelled] No Kings!

Eliminate!  right-wing fascists!
[background yelled] No Kings!

We are America's pawns!  America's pawns!

[all yell] No Kings!

Sparked off by the demonstration that passes by every Monday at 6 p.m. regular as clockwork.  Last time I was listening to "Police" recordings from the early 80s.

every monday

“Trap Town” opens Dark Music For Dark People with a slow descent into the city’s shadow. A dark piano theme threads through the track, joined by distorted trumpet tones echoing like distant car horns. Wilt Flowers’ bass and Guy Stansfield’s clarinet weave counterpoints beneath Sticks Thompson’s restrained percussion, while Sonny Rhodes’ piano drifts between smoky melancholy and menace.

A haunting mix of dark jazz, doom jazz, and cinematic noir, Trap Town evokes the tension of deserted streets and flickering lights long past midnight.

For fans of: Bohren & der Club of Gore, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Dale Cooper Quartet, Angelo Badalamenti, John Zorn, Cinematic Orchestra

The Dark Messiahs – Trap Town | Dark Jazz, Cinematic Noir & Doom Lounge

A sensual and introspective ballad, the vocals and guitars are free to express never-ending rock feelings. Listening to it transports us back to the '60s with psychedelic sounds and lyrics.

IN THE WOOD NEXT TO ME

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!
