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

A simple little tune, sparse and undressed

I Know You

an old song i rediscovered among other old demos

Time Aint My Own

This one wrote itself late one night........my fav time to write a tune

Just Like The Night

this is a demo of a song i wrote for a friend

Understand

AcoustaTronic Version of a Cat Classic Fav of Mine from way back.
Miles From Nowhere
Cat Stevens (Original)
Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there
Lord, my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'Cause I know when I find it, my honey
It's gonna make me feel good
I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, yes, I'll think to that
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yes, the ones that I choose

Miles From Nowhere

A bit bored so I mixed some words and vocal with Bob Warner's Lazydayz Blues instrumental track.

Lazydayz Blues - Lyrics & Vocal by Tony Harris - Music by Bob Warner - Original

this is a demo of a song i wrote after a friend told me about a situation she was in and couldn't get out of.......some nice fellas i met at a rehearsal studio helped me out, and i swapped me acoustic for the bass on this one.......this is the 1st take live with an overdubbed backing vocal, bit rough, but i thought it had a cool sound...............cheers again for having a listen

Better Run For Your Life

Lyle Lovette- four Grammy awards.  It is kinda hard to put him in any particular category  Such a great singer, songwriter and performer.  I got to see him a few years ago.  I love his music along with his pals John Hiatt and Guy Clark.
