Looks like I missed this mighty fine new upload, Glen! Lyrics, vocals and music sounds great as always!

Like this one Glen - Great performance and production.

Smooth, Glen! Love the premise. Been there, as I'm sure most of us have.  Great tune!

You got so much music in you my friend --- so much to love here !!!

Beautiful smoooth ballad Glen, and lovely writing!

Nice guitar tone and melody here Glenny 🎸

Wonderfully written and performed song--superb guitar work and vocals.  It has a bit of an Eagles vibe, but construction, imagery, and performance is tight.  Kudos my friend!

This is a great track Glen , wonderful vocals and guitar !

gone back round on this one. initially interpreted as being loss of a loved one / death with the carried away but thankfully (I think) the loss of love / opportunities / regretting choices we don't make...the pain of the creative soul

Illusion

Thanks to Grace for harmonies.

Hey you, with your mask and your MP3,
where d’you think you’re going to?
I got someone I got to see,
maybe too good to be true.

Hold on, 		        just a little bit longer
Reach out, 		just a little bit further
Head down, 		in the overhead crossfire
Fading with the evening

Hey, with your bed on your shoulder pack, 
when d’you think you’re coming home?
I just need to get back to my love,
been too long alone

How long, 			when you com’in back kid?
Head strong, 			you’re radio active
Done nothing wrong,	I wish you’d come back now
You broken rolling stone

Hey, you, with your style and your different friends,
with your new name, what d’you think you’ve done?
I’m in between two places,
don’t belong in either one.

Long time, 		searching for obscurity
Maybe 		        a little bit traumatized
Seems like 		all the time she knew me
Searching for a sign
Shining 		        blue and green beryline
Coming home,		maybe Sapphirine
She smiles,		she smiles like you’ve never seen
I wish I was there

Aquamarine

Well, this song needs no introduction, you know it, and probably like it. Written by Cyndi Lauper and Rob Hyman in 1983 it's become an all time classic, and my son Gideon has taken it upon himself to write a new arrangement, and to play and/or program all of the instruments.
Backing vocals were contributed by my wonderful friend Karen (Kiki) Jackson, so all I had to do was to sing lead.

We hope you'll enjoy.

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar

This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to me, and I immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. I promptly added my four string fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 
  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Just You And I

I heard AD's original track "Natural Mystic" and I wanted to make it bigger and badder. He was cool enough to collab with me. I Wrote some lyrics, added vocals and guitars and this track was born out of his Original Idea. I hope you all enjoy our creation. We do \m/


We cannot see through this bullshit you spew
We are deceived from the start till we’re through
You can’t relate to the hate because you’re blind
You only find respite with your own kind
Your message is just more rhetoric recycled
Until you turn us all into Audio Disciples
Until your ears are bleeding from the music that we make
You’re raw with your skills while we Audiobake
Rain down your critiques I’m knee-deep in your hate
It’s just more shit that gets put up on our plate
Every road taken and every day is ours
We progress, our insides and diminish our scars
A mindless submissive, you bound down to your king
You’re kind and defenseless  you don’t feel a thing

You wait for Superman
I look to me
You turn to run from it
We never flee
We are the free and the vengeful divide
We will not stop until we can decide

We fall to our knees, for No enemies
We fall to our knees, for No enemies

Natural Mystics - Razzi  X  Audiodisciples

A simple ballad to showcase my latest poem
 ( To Far Gone For Me To Save )
A song about that special one that got away.

LYRICS by Glen Granthem
I never knew 
what you had seen in him That day he carried you away
Now I regret my silly grin All I can do now is wave
To far gone for me to save
Small town state of mind
You were my girl and we were young
I'm standing here acting strong But down deep I know your gone
And won't look back for very long
Now your miles away Adrift the ocean waves
Cruising to your destiny , To a foreign land 
And I can't stand in your way
SOLO/CHORUS
You moved on from this small town Living large day after day
Holding on to the ups and downs , All I can do now is wait
To Far gone for me to save , All I can do now is Wait
To far gone for me to save  , For me to save ...

To Far Gone For Me To Save

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
