Six Feet Never Felt So Far. By Glenny G November 8th 2021
SIX FEET NEVER FELT SO FAR
I RIDE ALONE IN MY CAR
I LOOK TOWARDS A DISTANT STAR
WONDER IF THERE'S LIFE ON MARS
WENT TO FISH MY FAVORITE LAKE
WHEN THE GROUND BEGAN TO SHAKE
I'VE NEVER FELT A REAL EARTHQUAKE
AM I ASLEEP OR AM I AWAKE
I CAN'T DENY IT I SEE THE SIGNS
AS THE SUMMER FRUIT ROTS ON THE VINE
NOW THEY SAY THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE
STORMS AND FIRES HAVE MANY NAMES
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHO'S TO BLAME
LIFE ON EARTH IS NOT THE SAME
THE WILDLIFE DISAPEARS
WE NEVER SHED A SINGLE TEAR
WE JUST BURN OUT ANOTHER YEAR
THEN LOOK OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
BUT THERE'S A GOOD LIFE STILL AHEAD
I'M STILL BREATHING AND GODS NOT DEAD
GODS NOT DEAD NO GODS NOT DEAD 
SOLO/CHORUS
THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO DIFFERENT TRIBES
WE'RE CUT IN HALF AND THEN DIVIDE
ALL ALONG IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT
SIX FEET APART NO END IN SIGHT

Six Feet Never Felt So Far (Original) With Lyrics

Sea of Pain    " Influenced by the Guitar Style of " Robin Trower

Only Sand  is another new song from my Ovation Celeb 44 acoustic guitar series. A Bit Dark  inspired by my latest Poem ( Bits of Bone )

LYRICS Glenny G
I hope you find away to love this world again
To live with deep regret is to reach a bitter end
There's no remorse for those who walk among the dead
Down a narrow hallway lined with unpaid debts
Help me reach this man   ( He's  a dead man walking ) 
Take him by the hand ( Just show him the way )
Make him understand , At six feet under there's only sand 
At six feet under there's only sand ( He's a dead man walking )
SOLO ( Acoustic )
You live in the shadows a friend under every rock
You never reach out or listen for their knocks
Behind four walls you live inside your head
Leaving bits of bone underneath your feathered bed
Help me reach this man ( He's a dead man walking )
Take him by the hand ( Show him the way ) 
Make him understand at six feet under there's only sand
At six feet under there's only sand ..only sand 
( Dead man walking )

Only  Sand ( Original ) With Lyrics

This is an original tune about my first guitar performed on my newest guitar The Epiphone Casino. My first real guitar was a Fender Musicman my mom put on lay away and saved a dollar a day until it was mine

This Is My Guitar (Original)

The Art Of The Deal By Glenny G's One Man Band ( Original ) 2023
LYRICS
The legend lives on top of the hill
And if you reach out you'll find it still
Empty those pockets throw out those pills
Imagination can burn out or kill
The time your given is not guaranteed
Don't find yourself man lost in a dream
Open your heart and plant a seed
Or all you'll leave is sorry and greed
Your not a magazine Or just a faded dream
Or just a crowd that screams on a distant beam of light
SOLO
Your not a king on a hill
When all you have is free will
There's nothing more to conceal
When fame and fortune consumes your life 
We all are someone with something to say
The mind is hollow can go a stray
And grab the things that are shiny and bright
Even the sun will turn down the light
SOLO
Your not a Fading dream  Your not a fading dream ....  Of Light
Of light Of Light 
The legend lives on top of the hill
And if you reach out you'll find it still
Imagination can burn out or kill
Life is more than the art of the deal 
Life is more than the art of the deal.....

Life Is More Than The Art Of The Deal (Lyrics) Original

I have so much respect for the men and women who have served. I had hoped to release this on Veterans day but ran out of time to finish this fallen soldiers tribute. ( An Original by Glenny G's One Man Band ) 2024

LYRICS 
His Momma Raised A Patriot  ( by Glenny G )

Today the soldiers went off to war 
To fight in a distant land
Her son had just turned seventeen 
He was barely out of school ,
Ready to conquer the world
His momma raised a patriot 
She hung that flag up high
He never questioned what to believe
For him it was do or die 
Never about the price
Memorials are for the living
Not for the voices of a battle cry
Glory is for all the heroes
History will judge the men who fought side by side
Those in charge she trusted 
God holds her faith inside 
She always knew that the life you choose 
Could send you to an early grave
He died for the flag she waves
Now there's only a folded flag
In a case up on the shelf
Still filled with pride from that day he died
He was her first born , He was her baby boy
Memorials are for the living
Not for the voices of a battle cry
Glory is for all those heroes
History will judge the men who stood side by side
Some will say it's not worth it , But freedom is never free
They sacrifice , lay down their life so their country can  be free
Freedom is never free. " His Momma Raised A Patriot "

His Momma Raised A Patriot ( Original ) Tribute on my Fender Rhodes Piano

It's A Brand New Year by Glenny G's One Man Band
I WANNA FEEL MY FACE IN THE SUN
OPEN SPACE AND ROOM TO RUN
REFLECT ON WHAT I'VE DONE
COME TO LIFE FOR EVERYONE
AND THOSE WHO TELL YOU IT'S BEEN A LONG HARD DRIVE
IF YOU BUY THEY'LL SALE YOU THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO TRY
IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR , IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR
SO RING THE BELL IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR
DRINK IT IN AND LET OUT A CHEER
ALL IS FRESH AND ERASED
START ALL OVER AND BEGIN THE CHASE
AND IF YOU SETTLE OR NEVER TAKE A CHANCE
ACCEPT THOSE CARDS THEY DEALT YOU, LEFT LIVING IN A TRANCE
IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR , IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR
WHAT TIME IS LEFT ON MY CLOCK
FIND A PASSION EMBRACE THE WALK
FORGIVE THE PAST AND MISTAKES
GRAB THE ROPE AS THE EARTH SHAKES
THERE'S THOSE WHO'LL TELL YOU IT'S BEEN A LONG HARD DRIVE
IF YOU BUY THEY'LL SELL YOU THERES'S NOTHING LEFT TO TRY
ITS A BRAND NEW YEAR , ITS A BRAND NEW YEAR
ITS A BRAND NEW YEAR ITS A BRAND NEW YEAR

It's A Brand New Year ( Original With Lyrics ) My First session of 2025

I wrote this today . A bit of Country / Pop and Love .
A little song about finding that special companion THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING .
I HAVE IT ALL IN YOU ( Lyrics ) by Glenny G 2025
THERE WAS A TIME I WAS STANDING ALL ALONE
JUST BARELY GETTING BY ,THAT MOUNTAIN WAS HIGH
THEN YOU CAME ALONG THE SUBJECT OF MY SONG
OPENED MY EYES WIDE , STOOD BY MY SIDE
THE SWEET BREEZE BEGAN TO CALL
WHEN I REALIZED I HAVE IT ALL,  IN YOU , WITH YOU , YEAH YOU
JUST YOU , WITH YOU , IN YOU , IT'S TRUE
THAT WAS THE DAY I FINALLY FOUND MY WAY
WALKING NEXT TO YOU , THE SUN WAS SHINING THROUGH
COLORS FILL THE SKY AS THE WORLD PASSES BY
MY ARMS ARE OPENED WIDE , MY HEART BEATS IN TIME
HOW DO I KNOW THIS LOVE IS REAL , ALL I CAN SAY IT'S THE WAY I FEEL
WITH YOU , IT'S YOU , YEAH  YOU , JUST YOU , WITH  YOU ,  
YEAH YOU  IT'S TRUE
GUITAR SOLO
WITH YOU , YEAH YOU ,  IT'S YOU ,  JUST YOU ,  WITH YOU , YEAH YOU IT'S TRUE 
GUITAR SOLO
WITH YOU , YEAH YOU ,  YOU IT'S TRUE ,  WITH YOU , YEAH YOU
IT'S  YOU . ITS TRUE IT'S YOU

I HAVE IT ALL IN YOU ( With lyrics )

My Latest song. I used a Keyboard patch (Stand up Bass )performance to build around. A Bit of Jazz mixed with a touch of Blues. I use to perform in a Chicago Tribute Band so I used my experience to add a Horn section .
MINIMALISTIC by Glenny G's One Man Band
Lyrics
I'm gonna build me a tiny house
Hidden way back in them woods
One way in , No way out
People tell me , People tell me I should
Plant me a garden ,Live off the land
Dig a water well by hand
Raise some sheep and by a dairy cow
People tell me , People tell me how
Just a minimalistic doin everything by hand
Just a minimalistic Living off the land living off the land
SOLO
Live out my life one day at a time
That clear blue river always flows
Hunting the deer and talkin to the birds
People tell me , People tell me I should
Just a minimalistic doing everything by hand
Just a minimalistic Living off , Living off , Living off the land 
I won't need me no cell phone , I don't want a TV
No one will call or drop on by
One way in , No way out . One way in ... I'm OUT !!!!!

Minimalistic ( Original ) With Lyric Sheet

This song was written after watching a TV series called The way home.

TIME TRAVELER " The way home " by Glenny G's one man band. ( Original 2025)
LYRICS
I'm standing in the river fifty feet away from shore
That pond is growing deeper , I'm so far away from home
I need to know  ( Time Traveler ) Where that water goes ( Time Traveler)
Time travels on beyond my home
My family is waiting in another place in time
I visit all their moments growing up they left behind
I need to know " On my way home "
Where that river flows " Where does it go "
So far away to find my way home
Solo (Guitar)
We are the children that are yet to be raised x 3
We are the children
I need to know ( Time traveler ) Where that water goes ( Time traveler)
Time travels on beyond my way home
Time Traveler  ( On my way home )
Time Traveler ( On my way home )
Time traveler ( I'm on my way home )

Time Traveler  "The Way Home" (original with lyrics)

Titanic Dreams. By Glenny G
Look what the night has left for the day every things on the floor
Riding that ship under those waves darkness has set it's course
Unsinkable ship one of a kind her story past through time
First class and poor settle the score water graves left behind
Titanic Dreams, Moonlight and Beams, Silhouettes Freeze beneath the open sea
Wealth of the day floats away sips champagne in white gloves 
Tuxedo and jewels they flaunt all the tools racing to rise above
Titanic Dreams, Moonlight and Beams, Silhouettes freeze beneath the ocean breeze
Titanic dreams, Titanic dreams, Titanic dreams,  Titanic dreams

Titanic Dreams ( With Lyrics )

Just an effort to re capture  that 70's sound. Bands like Foghat ect.
Rolled out the Marshall today for fun.
Glenny G's One Man Band.

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

Dominations Of The Blues  ( Original )

I Finally Got back into my studio this week. It felt good to record an Original song.  
HIGHEST GAME WITH RULES

IM RUNNING THROUGH THE BACKWOODS 
NEAR THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
IT NEVER GETS ANY EASIER 
WHEN YOUR A PRISONER OF TIME
SO MANY HARDENED EMOTIONS 
YOU WEAR UPON YOUR SLEEVE
AS IF REACHING OUT TO KNOW ONE
WONT SPREAD YOUR DISEASE
WITHOUT A SOUND IM FALLING DOWN
ABOVE THE GROUND IVE COME UNWOUND
IVE PLAYED THE GAME I PAID MY DUES
IVE BEEN ON TOP AND LIT THE FUSE
THERES ALOT OF TAKE
ITS THE HIGHEST GAME WITH RULES
LYING IN THE GUTTER 
ALL THE FACELESS FOOLS
I CAME FROM NOWHERE
I HAD TO LEARN TO MAKE A BREAK
ITS BEEN NO BED OF ROSES 
I MADE MY MISTAKES 
WITHOUT A SOUND  IM FALLING DOWN
ABOVE THE GROUND IVE COME UNWOUND

Highest Game With Rules ( Original ) With Lyrics.

My First song for 2020. ( Obsession ) I'm looking forward to all my Sound Cloud Friends creative music ahead.
OBSESSION by Glen granthem
YES I KNOW THAT WE BELONG TOGETHER
I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THINGS WOULD TURN OUT BETTER
BUT I PLAYED THE GAME AND LIVE MY LIFE WITH TENSION
I HAVE TO SAY WITH YOU IT'S HARD TO MENTION
STILL I DREAM OF YOU ALL NIGHT
OH  IT'S TRUE IT'S ALRIGHT
SOLO...
I DREAM OF YOU ALL NIGHT
 MILES AWAY MY MIND STILL PLAYS OBSESSIVE
I HAVE TO SAY IT'S ALL ONE WAY DECEPTION

Obsession ( Original ) with Lyrics.

Homeless camps 10,000 strong around here. River access and bike trails are now tent cities. 
Keeping the mood light with this blues number though.
SKID ROW BOOGIE BLUES lyrics Glen Granthem
EVERY HAND REACHING OUT
ON EVERY CORNER THERE'S NO DOUGHT
A WINTER FREEZE IS COMING DOWN HARD
WELL SOME WON'T WORK SOME ARE WEAK  
THERE'S SOME ON DRUGS THEY JUST CAN'T BEAT
DOWN ON YOUR LUCK ON SKID ROW
SOLO.....
YOU FOUND A PLACE TO DO YOUR TIME
IT DON'T TAKE LONG TO LOOSE YOUR MIND
WHEN EVERY FACE YOU SEE LOOKS THE SAME
EVERY DAY COME RAIN OR SHINE
YOU WALK THE STREET AND DO YOUR TIME
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW
SOLO...
SKID ROW... SKID ROW...
A CITY OF TENTS ON THE RIVER BANK
WHEN OFFERED A JOB THEY SAY NO THANKS
THEY JUST WONT TRUST THE SYSTEM OR THE PLAN
THEY HAVE THERE RIGHTS AND THAT'S WHAT COUNTS
BUT ALL ALONG THE PRESSURE MOUNTS
SURVIVING IN THE WORLD OF SKID ROW
SURVIVING IN A WORLD CALLED SKID ROW

Skid Row Boogie Blues ( ORIGINAL ) WITH LYRICS

LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

A little tribute to all the pioneers of the blues. Waters , Guy , King , Vaughn , Lemon ,  

TUNED TO THE BLUES.. by Glen Granthem ( Lyrics )
A pint of rum fuels those leather veins 
Just jump aboard that old freight train
Where lost souls can all be found
Just ride the rails your blues bound
335 in a canvas case Steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues
The blues don't lie and can't be faked
Just like a lawn that needs a rake
A Hamond B3 with a Leslie cone
Full of bite when the brass is blown
In every pocket there's a silver harp
In every key and all tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings bent and tuned to the blues
Blind Lemon his match box blues 
Young Bill Broonzy taught Chicago the news
Lead Belly made a Midnight Special
Muddy Waters a true blues vessel 
Buddy Guy Albert King  Stevie Ray Vaughn and yes BB King
( SOLO )
335 in a canvas case steel strings stretched and tuned to the blues ( SOLO )
Muddy Waters Albert King Buddy Guy  the fathers of the blues

Tuned To The Blues ( Original ) with Lyrics

After watching the movie ( You Should Have Left ) with Kevin Bacon I was inspired to write these lyrics and put them to music.

SHOULD HAVE LEFT by Glen Granthem
Knocking on a locked door that only opens in
Left standing in a hallway wrapped in all my sin
Running from the moment these dreams always win
Like a shadow from the moonlight that knows where I've been
I should have left somehow , It's far to late to run away now
The dark and the evil resist with all your might
If only for a minute the soul begins to fight
Like knowing what you can not see is somewhere in sight
The only thing I care about is lost in the night
I should have left by somehow , it's far to late to run away now
 Song Break ..
Where a single moment from your past will collide
(running down the road in the rain)
Then your judged and condemned to pay the price 
 Guitar Solo ..
This empty house holds the secret inside of me
Running fast there's no escape your never to be free
I should have left somehow 
Its way to late ( running down the road )
I should have left somehow ,  It's far to late now...................

Should Have Left ( Original with Lyrics )

Glen Granthem does his best to keep up the speed  of the lyrics and lead guitar to an american treasure...

This is my first effort recording and writing original music with my Epiphone Double Neck Guitar.
WHAT IS LIFE  by Glen Granthem
I'm waiting on a spaceship over the horizon
I can't say or see my return
I'm sleeping in the forest under the moonlight
Flames risen up and up then burn
I'm gonna leave this planet There's nothing left  I've had it
The universe is wide open unexplored in motion
The stars shine tonight so bright
All alone I'll travel let my mind unravel
The mystery of What is life ?
I'm gonna leave this planet there's nothing left I've had it
SOLO 1
I can see the future in the distance The constellations calling me
SOLO 2
I can see the future in the distance The constellations calling me
All alone I'll  travel let my mind unravel
The mystery of What is Life?
I'm waiting on a spaceship over the horizon
I can't say or see my return . . . . . .

What Is Life ( Original ) with Lyrics  ( A Recording using my Epiphone Double Neck G-1275 Guitar )

Free Bird ( Lynyrd Skynrd Copy ) A Special Tribute by Glenny G

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

Singer Songwriter Performer Producer . I have  a humble studio JUST good enough to create demos for my library of originals.  I play all the instruments and record alone.  BUT I do perform with a full band live  Cheers !!
I have Also Started Making and adding  Videos For Fun.
"When I start a song, I really try to finish it, whether it's good or bad, because I've found that I'm the worst judge. I have a problem satisfying myself, I'm always wanting to do something better than before. When I come back to songs, I try to finish them no matter what, and if you still don't like it when it's finished, you learn something by working on it " ALVIN LEE. These words seem to fit well for me and my approach to song writing. and yes CHEERS
