Nowhere To Run {Original}

Listen, Please
Demo by Kate Stanton
VERSE:
I could tell you
what I've learned,
but I don't know much.
I could show you
But who am I
with 3 decades on Earth?
It's a vision
through a prism
but surely they'll change for us, right?
They're a phantom
in my prison
but there's one thing I'm sure of:

CHORUS:
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
you can love them from afar.

VERSE:
I want to tell you
you're only human
so do the best you can
and do better
once you know better
That's all we can comprehend, right?
Most people are good
and they will help you understand

CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

BRIDGE:
Don't give away your trust
don't give away your time
don't give away your love
don't give away yourself, now
until you

FINAL CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

Listen, Please (DEMO)

Your cloud a song relating to a relationship that’s finished but photos float on a cloud forever and can be retrieved at anytime to reminisce.

Your Cloud ~ Conscience Of Kings

A colaboration with the composer Oghamyst and the songwriter Mary Kils.

Music Is What Feelings Sound Like

Que fais-tu baby?

"I was thinking about Summer anthems and how they always seem to be about going out and having a good time with friends. What about the people who want to stay in over Summer - the introverts? Where is their anthem? Inspired by those great Rock tunes over the years; "Let's Get Rocked", "She Hates Me", “Teenage Dirtbag” and "Beverly Hills" I set out to write an old school guitar Rock anthem that is really fun and quirky. This song is inspired by my favourite record producer Mutt Lange and Def Leppard’s “Hysteria” album. PLAY LOUD. 

An anthem for those stay at home Rockers - "Introverts Summer"

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

Introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

I'm listening to my music
I've been watching TV
I'm binging all the movies that I've already seen
I see you in the sunlight drinking your beers
I'm staying on the second floor
The view is better up here

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

I wanna stay home and play guitar
I'm gonna plug in and play "Hysteria"
I need some time alone to stop and think
Tell them all that I'm out when the phone rings

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

Introverts Summer
Introverts Summer

I'm having an introverts Summer 
(I'm not going out)
I'm having an introverts Summer
(I'm staying in)

I'm having an introverts Summer
I'm having an introverts Summer

Introverts Summer 2024

Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Crying In The Rain  (Cover of Everly Brothers)

All rights reserved December 5, 2023
Music composed and performed by Todd Brown

Life, drives you to the ground
Kicks you when you’re down
Wants to wear your crown

Love, comes as no surprise
Right before your eyes
With truth instead of lies

Stop explaining
Days are waning
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly

We have travelled through this life 
Through the tears and strife
To the other side

Dreams, elude us when we sleep
And rivers run so deep
The secrets they will keep

Lives are taken
Plans, forsaken
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly..

It may be we’ll never understand
Building castles in the sea and sand…

Love, comes as a surprise
Right between the eyes

For the Love of Life

While I was thinking about what kind of song I should create, 
 I ended up finishing it. I can't clearly name the theme or the impression I had when listening to this song. However, for some reason I think acoustic jazz drums look good on it, so I published it.
 It seems like the fun part of the music has increased a little. 
 I would be happy if you could listen to it.

Only “passion” takes the lead (286)

My lyrics that inspired Glen are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

THEY HAVE GREAT MEMORIES
OF ROCKIN' IN THE SIXTIES
LISTENIN' TO CCR, BEACH BOYS,
JAN AND DEAN AND THE BEATLES

THEY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIP HOP
OR TODAY'S MODERN POP
THEY LOVE CCR'S WHO'LL STOP THE RAIN
AND THE RAINS STILL COMIN' DOWN

(CHORUS)
THOSE COOL OLD GUYS
HAVE NEVER BEEN SHY
WHEN THE MUSIC'S PLAYIN'
THEY'LL BE SWAYIN'
CAUSE THEY'RE COOL OLD GUYS

YOU MAY THINK THEY'RE OLD AND CRAZY
CAUSE THEY'RE CRAZY ABOUT MUSIC
IT KEEPS THEM WRITIN' AND PLAYIN'
AND IT KEEPS THEM GOIN'

THEY WILL NEVER LET THE MUSIC DIE
WILL KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON
AND KEEP THE MUSIC FLOWIN'
CAUSE THEY'RE COOL OLD GUYS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

MEMOIRES DE VIE

Le temps passe lentement
La roue tourne comme on dit
Mais le passage des ans
Ne créé jamais l'oubli.
Les années qui avancent
Et continuent toujours
En prennent de l'importance
Dans ce qui fait l'amour.
Et plus on prend de l'âge
Conscient évidemment
Dans nos têtes voyagent
L'ancien et le présent.
Dans les jours qui vieillissent
Et voient passer l'antan
Tous les temps qui se glissent
Doucement et pourtant.

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

Bien s'aimer, se comprendre
C'est un toujours un voyage
Et on se laisse prendre 
A s'écrire de belles pages

Sur la terre en plaisir
De grands moments passés
Pleurs ou éclats de rires
Nous ont fait exister.

Revivre dans ses pensées
Ne voyant que lueurs
Et jamais oublier
Que c'était le bonheur.

La vie suivant son sort
Nous laisse de bons moments
Si jamais on s'endort
Sans des mots et pourtant

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

MEMORIES OF LIFE

Time passes slowly
The wheel turns as they say
But the passage of years
Never create oblivion.
The years that advance
And still continue
take on importance
In what makes love.
And the older we get
Obviously aware
In our heads travel
The old and the present.
In the days that grow old
And see yesteryear pass by
All the times that slip by
Slowly and yet.

He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too
He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too

Love each other well, understand each other
It's always a journey
And we let ourselves be taken
To write beautiful pages

On earth in pleasure
Great times past
Crying or bursts of laughter
Made us exist.

Revive in your thoughts
Seeing only lights
And never forget
That it was happiness.

Life following its fate
Leave us good times
If we ever fall asleep
Without words and yet

He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too

MEMOIRES DE VIE

this one i recorded on an old 2 track reel to reel…….cheers for having a listen


if i could go right back, to where it all started
barely flesh and bone
i'd crawl right back, from where i came
never ever to be knowd

and i'd say amen, if i could be born again

well it didn't take long, for trouble to find me
follow me down the line
i tried to lay low, not get caught up in it
thought i had time on my side

and my broken heart would mend, if i could be born again

right place wrong time, it's a habit of mine
a rambler by nature my friend
going sideways and under, and up over yonder
the straight narrow road lies ahead

would your ear be there to lend, if i could be born again
yes i'd say amen, if i could be born again

If I Could Be Born Again

Special thanks to Kengali for his a cappella......

Composition-- The Eclectic Collective

This song started with me coming up with a bassline and the arrangement. I started it as a project for the Eclectic Collective, so they were all immediately involved. Ken first laid down his rock solid groove of a drum beat to complete the rhythm section. Scotty was first after that, adding some melodic/rhythmic guitar magic to the mix. Stephen then blew the doors off of it when he added his melodic, dirty guitar to it. JJ was up next with his funky electric piano to fill it in. Chris then came in and added the trippy, swirling, psychedelic guitars. Mark also came along towards the end and added some really cool, but subtle percussion, and if you listen for it, a triangle in there, too.
  Of course every good song needs a good producer. Stephen was able to wrangle this into a good mix, thankfully. He also very cleverly came up with and added the psychedelic break in there between the first and second verses. Chris also added some really cool vocals to that part, too.
  This one was a lot of fun to make, and was our second song with Scotty, with whom we really enjoy making music. I named it such because I wanted the spirit of welcoming lots of musicians to come through. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Not Coming Back ( Collab With John Buckle)

A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie

Carey ( Joni Mitchell )

What do you do after having cardiac bypass surgery? Well I came home and wrote a silly blues song. Heartfelt thanks to my friends Jim McMillian on guitar and Kyle Roth for the title (before I went in). One take, Zoom H-1.  Love that little device.

Cast of characters:
Well-- @user-370942421-686440500 – Hakan – synth, beat, and seed idea
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur– guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– guitar, mix, and production 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –five-string fretless bass guitar, synth

This song began with Artur inviting Josh onto a project that he and Hakan had just started that consisted of the beat and a synth line—the one that opens the song—supplied by Hakan. Josh added his five string fretless bass to it first, coming up with an idea of how it could sound. Then, Josh asked Tez to get in on it, too, because Tez not only has an affinity for the genre, but an aptitude for it, as well. After Tez laid down his hot guitar, Josh went back and played his idea, but accounted for Tez's jamming, too, this time. After the basic tracks were done, Artur brought his vibrato/delay guitar magic to the jam, too. Then, Josh added the various synth voices that you hear throughout. ​
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for this job. He brought it all together and used our various parts like a conductor uses different parts of a symphony. This is the fist song that Tez and Josh have done with Hakan. Artur and he are musical partners, so if you dig this song, you would probably like what's on their pages, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

He asked if she would..... 
Pour her heart into his empty cup
Filled with her very best intentions 
There was no need to stir it up

He promised to sip slowly 
Only paused a bit to think
Well....You know what, Sweetheart ?
That makes for one fine Drink

Chorus
Please pour me another cup ?
…….and don’t leave one thing out
Honey, what’s a man to do?
There’s no reason to doubt 
When you Fill Me Full of You
When you Fill Me Full of You
When you Fill Me Full of You

She said, “Let’s drink to the good times
Let’s toast the warm and setting sun
Today sure seemed a dream
Hope tomorrow brings another one”

Bridge
They hugged as they walked  
Looking eye to eye
Framed like shooting stars  
Against the dark blue sky

Clouds faded one by one
As they bathed in golden moon
Sadness tasted somewhat of fun
Never stayed nor left too soon
(Back to Chorus, Verse, Chorus and Out)
