Alien Jazz

This is a song I wrote in 2016, about overcoming negative self doubts when I was starting to write songs again after a break of about 20 years.  It’s a song of positivity and self encouragement to get on and do the things you want to before it’s too late, regardless of what stage of life you’re at.  Recording, percussion and additional fabulous chucka chucka guitars by Carl Hetherington of Van der Neer.

Doing time

With gratitude and respect to Kohei Uchimura, who is retiring.

This song was inspired by Kohei Uchimura who is a gymnastics athlete at Tokyo 2020 Olympic.
But maybe you can sing this for your hero, for your friends, for your lovers, for your parents….
Whatever it is, this is a song of gratitude and respect for the person you admire.

[Lyrics]

Cause I Saw You Were There

Do you know why I could come here?
Do you know what made me to come here?
It’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.
Yes, it’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.

引退される内村航平選手へ、感謝と敬意をこめて。

体操の内村航平選手の東京オリンピックを見て、この曲が生まれました。
でもたぶんこの曲は、あなたのヒーローのため、あなたの友人のため、あなたの恋人のため、あなたの両親のための曲でもあります…。
それが何であれ、あなたの憧れの人への感謝と敬意を歌ったものです。

[歌詞]

僕がなぜここに来ることが出来たのか知っていますか？
何が僕をここに連れて来たのか知っていますか？
あなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいた。
そう、それはあなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいました。

Cause I Saw You Were There

The Unsolved

All My Yesterdays (Lyrics)

My mind ain't what it used to be
Now playing tricks on me
Places and faces I don't recall

Is this my bed, is this my home
Why these thoughts please Leave me alone
Who am I what's it all coming to

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

When I wake I think I don't know
Looking for those who passed long ago
Oh why is this happening to me

Its such a strange such a lonely place
Thoughts leave you without a trace 
All my memories are slipping away

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading away

I see something warm in your eyes
Struggle with your name I try and recognize
I'm sorry but this isn't me

Hold my hand comfort me
I know you now momentarily
How I wish this moment would last

For I once was like you are now
Knew it all never had a doubt
Now my yesterdays are fading away
All my yesterdays fading 

As song I wrote and recorded for an Alzheimer's charity! A subject very dear to me. Apart from funds raised it was also to highlight awareness to this heartbreaking condition.

All My Yesterdays - Original Song

This is an old recording. You can hear my son as a baby in the background. I'm very happy, that I found that. It was great fun making music with Eva.

Lyrics by Tony Harris (Tribute to my Uncle)
Vocals, Melody, Instruments & Mix by Glen Granthem

IN DECEMBER OF SIXTY NINE
THE WAR WAS ON HIS MIND
CAUSE HE WAS NUMBER THREE
ON THE DRAFT LOTTERY

HE WAS SOON ON HIS WAY
TO RUN AND MARCH IN THE SAND
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY
EVERYTHING WAS SO UNPLANNED

HIS UNCLE WORE AN OLD DIME
ON HIS DOG TAGS IN WWII
AND IT WAS NOW HIS TIME
TO WARE IT ON HIS CHAIN TO

IF THAT OLD DIME COULD TALK
WHAT A STORY IT COULD TELL
IT TRAVELED ON TRAINS,
SHIPS, PLANES AND BACK HOME

(CHORUS) 
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
MEANT THE WORLD TO HIS UNCLE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
NOW MEANS THE WORLD TO HIM
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN AND GOD
BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME AGAIN
YEA, IT BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME

WHEN THEY WERE ALL ALONE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
REMINDED THEM OF HOME
AND HEARTACHE AND PAIN

HIS UNCLE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT WAR
WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING
THE HURT WAS IN HIS INNER CORE
DYING WAS ALWAYS ON HIS MIND

(REPEAT CHORUS)
