Beautiful song and wonderful read. I love this about you. I will hold my opinion except I will say : the only thing that never dies is live within a spirit. 🙏🏼

then this is what I mean about the Ovation and the Epiphone together. simply shamanic for moi 💭

damn, brilliant play of vocals sooo creative goes really well with the instruments love it!

This song is about a polar bear wandering around the streets of my town.

Polar Bear

lyrics

Time's flowing through me
Like the river goes to the sea
I'm headed for a waterfall
Hope it's not the end of it all

Please don't fail me
I'm going against the current
Avoiding all misery
When will I unite with the sea

Great white's attacking me
I've made it to the end
Can't avoid the other me
I'll face that day of judgement

Love pour through me
Time's ticking away
Shorter than I thought it'd be
Don't always get our way

Into the sea
Into the sea
Into the sea
Into the sea

Into the Sea

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 "

Lyrics:
Don't want to be a rose
You want to be a wildflower
Never mind the sun
You want to take a moon shower

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

You say you're getting old
You say you've reached a milestone mama
You're tired of being sold
You're tired of all the hometown drama

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

I love the way the moon glows
I love the way the wind blows
When it goes
Through your hair

Gonna be a wild ride mama
Gonna be a rodeo
Gonna be an LA drama
Gonna have to rope me down

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

Half A Mile From Here

This is my favourite song that I've written so far. Very proud of it. Let me know your thoughts/opinions in the comments! Any support is greatly appreciated. Have a good one :)

Scared of Change

Je bat mon créateur sur son propre terrain 
J'inventerai les règles, je choisirai la fin
Et quand lui joue sa vie, moi je ne m'encombre pas
D'amour et d' égo
Demain je règnerai parmi tout les drapeaux
Lui si grand, si petit, le poète du monde
Le peintre de la vie, l' inventeur de la bombe
Le vivant achevé dans les pas de son Dieu
Appelant au secours
Demain sera trop tard, sera son dernier jour

First track of 2025 something a little more out there :) 

Love Love Love

This is one of the songs that was converted from its original version to fit into a set with a full band. ( Greenfleamusic ) The original version was and is a sweet and soothing folk song that I love to play when i'm by myself . I will be re-recording it tomorrows how I like it. I think ive got an idea wht im going to record first off. No.. I have not practiced barely at all.. but im not worried...

When I have the new recording I will tell you why it was written... lets just say that its after a night that didnt go well opening for a nationally touring / up and coming headliner..

lyrics

There's a fire under the kettle
thats brewing tomorrows confrontation
about the impossibility of consolation
but in the morning
ten mile wide
your face is stretched into a smile that's ten miles wide

There's a slight misunderstanding
and a mystery depending on who you are
about the cause of the excessive wear on the tires of your car
but in the morning.. ten miles wide
there's a brand new blacktop superhighway
ten miles wide

now there's odd noises in the house
and there's dim lights glowing all night long
there's a grasp you've made at some illusive song
but in the morning
ten miles wide
there's an empty canvas stretched across your mind
that's ten miles wide

now there's a bit of a situation
there's a child arriving without an invitation
but in the morning
ten miles wide
there's a solution in the form of a blazing sunrise
ten miles wide

Ten Miles Wide

Lyrics

Love is cloned...
So clear...
Cold black is near!
But warm is here.

'Cardiac filiment,
Vibrating light,
Some soul habiliment
Heat the cold fear fright

It's You Dear!
Find a mirror.
Kiss yourself
Make self love clearer
As we learn to love others
We must love ourselves
Call in your spirit
Be Earth's little Elves

To Now and Here!
See Galactic rings!
The moment is royalty
With no queens or kings
Amongst a Milky Way madness
The royals say, "I'm here"
Grounded in Now!
Love evaporates fear.

So... Fear. F.E.A.R
What's your boiling point? LOVE?
We're observers!
Clear... Warmth...
Kardia... Loaned...
Deliverance honed
When love is cloned

Clear... Warmth...
Kardia... Toned...
Deliverance honed
When love is cloned


Notes
The songs intention is to project love as almost a cancellation of fear in ourselves. I believe we can find this by loving ourselves. cross out the vanity... I mean existentially. truly accepting yourself for who you are is the beginning of what I believe will be our most beautiful period of time for everything. relationships. discovery... take your pick as we will create what we want when we love ourselves and eschother without fear....

To expand on that with my view. I believe we are the center of existence. in the sense that we are just one person. One entity that we can truly control. So if one believes love is the answer... then where else can you start to truly love. You...

Don't confuse loving yourself and being self centered... In fact aren't they the complete opposite...

Simple ideas... They are simple words..  But do we fully grasp them yet...

has humanity actually realized and learned to love properly... Or has it found a love that allows humanity to sustain itself...

I think I believe that sustained sustanance for us lies in the power of the individual. Individuals accepting themselves and eachother... But individuals having all and equal power reflecting our actual existence of being the same type of individual but the center of each of our own universe. Endeavouring to undertand that from our perspective and an observer of others. Control where control is warranted. internally. then observations and the evolution of sharing obviously. but then the FEAR is dissolved. Evaporated and we can all love our boringly understood and love filled world 🌎 Earth ♥️
Earth has delivered us all the love since we pitched our tents here. Time to give that back and have no fear delivering it to ourselves and eachother... well according to this song anyways haha 🔆🤘🏽

Here is a more recent song.. written within the last year. This is what I sound like now.. LOL..  Im really working now to find my new vocal range folks... it ain't easy.. I basically took a year off playing and singing.

Lyrics :

Its a sure sign alright
its time to turn around and see
When Im waking from a crazy dream
To Hear your voice inside 

Then the chains of obligation that I’ve taken on
cant keep their grip on me
reaching out to my only one 
and I remember.. what I need to do

Now I thought I had a better way
I wanted more for you
But mores not always better
Than the simple quiet times 

As I ground myself in truth once again 
And I remember
the truth that as long as we’re together
its alright…

So I’m coming home to you
Im coming home
Yes I’m coming home
Im coming home to you

Now nothings really changed
They only seemed to be
And the light of understanding
Shines so graciously

As I ground myself in truth once again
And I remember
the truth that as long as were together
it’s alright…

So I’m coming home to you…

Coming Home To You

📜=Material pre 2024
Carl here, and this is my music and I throw in a few covers... special songs for my musical journey... ones that helped program me as a human and musician. This music is an ever evolving reflection of my existence as I see it when each idea is brought to life. I believe in trying to achieve this you truly can, like any walk of life, explain the universe to yourself through that passion.

Music as a result has become the portal to a very raw version of me. In everyday life I am happy and positive and I think nice to be around but you might discover a different side here. Here is why I am that person in everyday life. Here it all gets bared and I become one with my pleasure and pain. I'll leave the bio at that as I think the mystery of maybe finding me inside my songs is more exciting...

In Ireland over the millennia a literary art which is called Dinnseanchas was and is practiced. This is an act of recording a societies existence both literally and poetically. These records aim to teach properly what has been learned and in turn society can move on in a more balanced manner. My music I believe is my Dinnseanchas for myself... I believe I am a better person because of spectrum of emotions my songs allow me to transcend. The Beautiful Dark made into as much light as possible. Because there lies the truth...

Here my modern societal example I feel has not been marked enough.

England beat us 2-0 two football matches ago. The two players that scored could have played for Ireland and they chose England. Nice... The most poignant part for me was, it was actually the first time we have played England in a match where there wasn't a fight... Sport is a brilliant gauge for ascending passed different such as our two nations. hen sport can be played fairly and societal hatred doesn't over power it.. We have evolved and we are a more balanced humanity. I wish all the time for a match between Palestine and Israel. On Palestinian territory. Shaking hands. Tackles. Arguments. Drinks. Normal. Sport and them enjoying it together. Someday soon please
