Songs from a destination

Cloudy Skies

Get High

Lyrics

I’m watching the days roll by
And I'm comparing them side by side
Nothing ever seems to change at all
Just trapped in a loop of dull.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just want to feel, alive again.

I wanna live my life, but it’s on pause
When I talk to my friends it’s on calls
My eyes can’t take much more of this blue light
But there’s no escape in sight.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just to feel, alive again.

And I know there’ll come a day
When I hold your hand again
And though it may seem far away right now
I’ll see you soon, I’ll wait for you!

Alive Again

Crocuses and Springtime

Let Me In

I want seme more

We recorded this using collaborative software that enabled us all to create together without being in the same room. This song is a celebration of what you can achieve in the face of adversity and it demonstrates the strength, resilience and power of music that remains unfaded despite what ever happens to be happening in the wider world. 

Massive credit goes to Jenni Grossmann for working long hours to get all the players together and for bringing the project from concept to completion with style and for making the video, which at first was funny, but then turned into something else (link to the video below) 

Further thanks goes to Guy Burton who did a long night at a mixing desk patching the pieces together and to Vikram Subhedar for mastering and polishing away the rough edges. Then to all the players 

Ash, Bev, Chloe, Chris, Colin,  Cornelia, Doug, Fiona, Guy, Jean, Jenni, Lu, Naresh, Pete, Sophia, Ruthie, Tomás, Vic, Vikram S, Yas.

TGS Records is a community of musicians that like creating original material (this one time being the exception). All musicians met through the Guitar Social.

A song about old friendships never forgotten.

Hindsight

Sometimes

Sunday evenings are the hardest
In this cold December darkness
I try to ground myself, breathe deep
Do anything else 

And it comes on without warning
But I know the clouds are always forming
Try to ground myself, breathe deep
Do anything else

All these thoughts are always growing in my mind
Never satiated and I'm running out of time
(and I'm running out of time)

Mind running stream of conscious
Too far ahead for me to stop this
Dig at my skin  
'Cause I can't feel anything else

And the waiting feels so heavy
Flood waters threatening the levee 
So I cry myself to sleep 
Because I can't feel anything else

All these thoughts are always growing in my mind 
Never satiated and I'm running out of time 

I've got my hands, I've got my hands tied
I've got my hands, I've got my hands tied
I've got my hands, I've got my 

And I'm not looking for a way out 
I'm not looking for a way out of this
And I'm not looking for a way out
I'm not looking for a way out of this
And I've got my hands tied
(Beside my sides)
I've got my hands, I've got my...

(It Always Feels Like) December - Demo

This is the first track Doug (aka Doru - https://soundcloud.com/doru_uk) and I ever fully co-wrote, with each other or anyone. Big credits and kudos to Doru-Doug for the story, most of the lyrics (I only threw in verse 3), the melody and his epic bass and electric guitar contributions.

This is part of my second "album", https://soundcloud.com/jenni-grossmann/sets/when-the-curtain-falls

Verse 1
She walks alone with her head held high
Clean clothes, and a smile that tells of home
She doesn’t look over her shoulder now
She’s learned that a victim looks like one

Verse 2
Each night she reads by the dim lamplight
Each word a comfort for her soul
She lays her head amongst the pages now
Sleeps tight and leaves upon the dawn

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show her no harm
And they listen to every word that she says and she knows
It’s better this way

Verse 3
Another day melts through the cracks of my mind
Still warm outside but the cold creeps out from within
The stories call a name I’ve left behind
Their grasp is tight but I’ll never let them win

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show me no harm
And they listen to every word that I say and I know
It’s better this way
Compared to yesterday

Verse 4
I wake and wash the dreams from my mind
Stand straight, prepare to face the day
This life of mine was not theirs to take
Someday I know I'll make them pay

Chorus
In the daytime crowds always gather round
And their faces show her no harm
And they listen to every word that she says and she knows
(Someday)
It’s better this way
(I'll make them pay)
Better this way

Better This Way (feat. Doru)
