It's so nice to hear a pretty voice that isn't being run through autotune. Good lyrics. Good tune

Unlike grey on grey your voice shines clear and bright.  Song is gentle & easy on the ears, enjoyed.

Beautiful song! Wonderful, delicate and very natural vocals and great arrangement. Awesome job!

I totally agree with you.  It is used so much in all aspects you don't know what is real and what isn't  unfortunately the younger generation doesn't know any of this and are growing up on fake music.  I call it out  when I hear autotune and I'm really sick of AI cover photos and use in videos.  What happened to people actually training their voices and learning how to play an instrument?

Beautiful song. Beautiful, vulnerable vocal performance. The song really captures a mood.

The lyrics turned out to be something like this. When I asked the AI, it said, ``Isn't it good?'' So I released it!

■歌詞
「雷さん」

何かが奪われるような気がするんだ
もうやめよう　全部やめよう
みんな壊れてしまえ

木曜の夜は荒ぶってる

いいねそれ
かっこいいね

そして雷に合わせて歌う
メロディーなんて何でもいいだろ
他人なんて勝手なものだよ
案外気楽に嫌ってくれるさ

かっこいいね


「これは正しい」とか
「間違っている」とか
影の審判団がいる気がする
LaLaLa..この妄想が
当分消える事はなさそうだ


いいねそれ
綺麗だよね

だから雷に向かって叫ぶ
最後に笑うのは僕の方だと
自分ルールで生きるだけだよ
案外気楽に無視してくれるさ

わかるかい

それでもいつでもそばにいてくれる
その人は大切にしていきたい

雨がやみ　風が吹き抜け
雲の切れ間から見えたのは月


あれこれ考えてしまうよりも
とりあえず何かしようか　しようよ
案外すぐだよ
ゴールはそこ

あれこれ考えてしまう夜は
とりあえず何かしようか　しようよ

■Lyrics
"Thunder-san"

I feel like something is being taken away
Let's stop it, let's stop everything
Let's all break down

Thursday night is raging

That's nice

So cool

And I sing along to the thunder
It doesn't matter what the melody is
Other people are selfish
They can easily hate me

So cool

"This is right" or "This is wrong"

I feel like there's a shadow jury
LaLaLa..This delusion

It's not going to disappear anytime soon

That's nice

It's beautiful

So I shout at the thunder
I'll be the one to have the last laugh
I just live by my own rules
They can easily ignore me

Do you understand

But even so, they're always by my side
I want to cherish that person

The rain stops, the wind blows through
The moon is visible through the gaps in the clouds

Rather than thinking about this and that
Let's do something for now
It's surprisingly soon
The goal is there

On nights when I can't stop thinking about this and that
Let's do something for now

Summer

Four walls 

talk to me 
tell me anything 
that you don’t want to see me 
even that, it will fit me

Look at me 
I got you some chocolates 
I know you used to love it 
Today I don’t know, I don’t know anymore 

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
of this indifference
your mind dances
between these four walls

talk to me 
hear your voice again 
to finally feed hope 
one day we’ll see you again

Remember 
that you guided our steps 
you were our king 
how to do without you 
we don’t know anymore 

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
for you nothing matters 
you live in silence 
between these four walls

Where are you? 
We die of your absence 
please take the hand 
that I hold out to you
if there is a chance 
then talk to me
even if it hurts
I need to know 
if you know it’s me 
who's standing here in front of you.

Grey on Grey is the only song in our entire catalogue which was entirely written by Mark, lyrics and lyric melody included. We first performed and recorded this song acoustically with our live band back when Watchglass first began. I cannot help but remember, as an incy wincy thorn in my side, that our bass player, Chris, happened to comment very enthusiastically on the lyrics…, just something like “excellent lyrics,” but as I was the lyricist for the band and he’d never made such a comment on any of my songs, AND because Mark professed himself not to be a lyrics writer (or singer, which he can also do quite beautifully), well it almost felt unfair… almost. I was far too enamoured with the whole new vista of singing songs and writing songs to be put off by lack of a compliment. I just noted it to myself and thanked heavens I was at least able to sing the song and that I was evidently working with an all round song genius (albeit overly humble about some of his skills). This single is a new take on Mark’s masterpiece, Grey on Grey (aka Blind Princess).

Blind princess running down the stars
Playing in the dark
Lit by reflections neon lights wet streets
We all want to shine
So bright

I want to know if you remember
All of my memories
I want mine to fade away
You just leave me hung and haunted now

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey on grey.

And when you fell on me
Cold yet so soft
You soaked through to my skin
Shivered and I was gone
Lost in a kind of grey on grey
I’m like snow on a summer’s day
I know I’m not meant to stay

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey

Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
In a kind of grey

Grey On Grey

■概要(Overview)
窓を開けたら秋の風が入ってきた。見上げるとあの頃と似た空。
遠くから少年野球の声がする。
・・そんな感じの曲です。
---------
リバーブ多めな感じになりました。へへ・・。
ピアノは無謀にもアドリブにチャレンジだ！(少しだけ)
う～ん、もっと練習しなさい！(と自分に言う)

I opened the window and the autumn wind blew in. Looking up, the sky was similar to the old days.
I could hear the sounds of little league baseball from afar.
This song has that kind of feel.
---------
It has a lot of reverb now. Hehe...
I'm going to recklessly try improvising on the piano!(Just a little)
Hmm, practice more! (I tell myself)

■歌詞
「ひつじ雲」

窓を開けて風が通り抜けていく
グラウンドでは子供たちの声がした
太陽はそこにいるだけ

あの頃にもしも戻れるのならば
懐かしい人たちに会いたい
聞けなかったこと　飲み込んだ言葉
伝えられる気がするから

迷いの中　手探りの中
過ぎてゆくだけの日々かもしれない
だけど　いつも　この世界は
輝いていたんだね

ひつじ雲が浮かんでいる
青空が少し見える
遠くまで来てしまったみたい
あの頃と似てる空
二度と戻れない日々
私の思い出

「あの頃」と思う時がくるなんて
手にするばかりの「今」ではなく
こぼれ落ちたもの　旅立った人も
永遠だと思っていた

未来のため　歩き続けて
たどり着く頃は　何が残るのか
こぼれ　欠けて　この世界は
輝いているんだね

ひつじ雲が浮かんでいる
青空が少し見える
遠くまで来てしまったみたい
あの頃と似てる空
かけがえのない今日を
抱きしめていたい

■Lyrics (Google translation)
"Sheep cloud"

When I opened the window, the wind blew through
I heard children's voices on the ground.
the sun is just there

If I could go back to those days
I want to meet nostalgic people
Things I couldn't ask, words I swallowed
I feel like I can convey them

In doubt, in groping
Maybe the days just pass by
But this world is always
It was shining

A sheep cloud is floating
I can see a little bit of the blue sky
It seems like I've come a long way
A sky similar to those days
Days that can never return
my memories

I never thought there would come a time when I would think of ``that time''
Things that have fallen, people who have departed
I thought it was forever

What will remain after continuing to walk toward the future?
This world continues to shine even as it continues to fall and chip away.

A sheep cloud is floating
I can see a little bit of the blue sky
It seems like I've come a long way
A sky similar to those days
I want to embrace this irreplaceable day

This is new take on a song that Rodolfo and I first worked on 4 years ago. He had always imagined it with fine saxophone and great backing harmonies and now that Continental Collision has a wonderful pool of talent to draw on, that has become a reality, thanks to Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme's beautiful contributions.
The song has been given so much more feeling and emotion.
Thanks to them and Rodolfo for believing that we could succeed  and thanks to all of you for listening.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Winter Chill Arrives

The North Pole was melting 
And fearing a catastrophe
Santa hitched up his reindeer and flew to Washington DC

The Air Force saw him approaching 
They scrambled a fighter jet
They almost shot him down before they realized he wasn’t a threat

They escorted him to the white house 
To meet the president.  
They posed for a photo together and then Santa Started to vent.

He said please mister president
I know you want to drill baby drill
But all those CO2 emissions are making the North Pole ill

He said I’m sorry Father Christmas 
But I’m not interested in energy that’s green
it’s more important to me that we have cheap gasoline
And free Toys made by Elves in the North Pole sounds very nice
But you’re taking away American jobs, so I won’t take your advice

Then Santa said that since the ice will soon melt away
He asked the President if they could move to the USA

He said you and Misses Clause are welcome
because you look just like me
But we can’t have those pointy eared elves
Living here in the land of the free

So Santa flew back to the north pole 
And sitting on the last patch of ice
Was a giant spaceship that even Elon Musk thought looked very nice
The Elves had built it while he was gone
tears of sadness ran down Santa’s face
And they all got on the ship, and they flew off into outer space

Now every Christmas Eve people look up at the sky
And they think about those good old days when Santa used to fly
Toys made by elves in the North Pole sure would be nice
But at least we get to buy our gasoline for a very cheap price.

The North Pole Was Melting

New songwritten by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed and produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

She was knocking on the door of the age of consent
Almost all grown up waiting for the event
Looking oh so sweet and so innocent

Just a little flattered by her interest
Tried to play it cool but you'd never have guessed 
Feeling overwhelmed but truly blessed

Chorus

Through my eyes I wish you could see
See the things that I can see
And if you take me seriously
We'd be together 
Forever in perfect harmony

A penny for your thoughts is not a lot to pay
I'd gladly give a million just to hear you say
You know I think today could be your lucky day

Chorus

Bridge

When you want the present to last
The present soon becomes the past

Solo

Knew where I was going cos I'd been there before
Once bitten, twice shy, I don't care anymore
Think I'll take my chance, that's what life is for

Chorus x 2

Watch me go now
Keep an eye on me
Watch me go now
Just running free

Watch me go now
And see me run
Watch me go now
Like a bullet from a gun

Chorus

I know you want me
That much I see
Just keep on giving
And hold on to me

Break

Watch me, Watch me go now x 3

Watch me go now
I’ve seen the light
Watch me go now
Running into the night

Chorus

Hold on to me 
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
Just keep on giving and hold on to me
Just keep on giving and hold on to me

Hold on to me (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

“Gina, the new album is amazing. You are such a wonderful, wonderful artist. You and Mark really compliment each other - it sounds like you just lie down in his soundscapes. Your lyrics are fantastic. Wow!” - Ben Fogarty (fan)

Hello, thankyou for stopping by! If you had a listen and liked what you heard, the best way to help us forward in the great sea of music would be to follow us on Bandcamp if you possibly can.... really depends on whether you have a Bandcamp account. If you can't then we still very much appreciate a show of love here in the form of likes, comments and re-posts... thank you very much for these :) <3 
Watchglass are a duo who like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs.... Happily we found each other again after a longish split. 

Our 4 albums since reuniting in June 2022 are:

Every Conversation in June 
“The album plays out like one long, slightly spooky fairy tale…A magic spell drifting in from lands unknown, Every Conversation in June is a quiet marvel.” - JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Only Watching Clouds. 

Beautiful Dust-
“delightfully enigmatic pop songs built from enchanting melodies and eternal optimism.” - Ben Salmon (Bandcamp Daily)
“as hushed and evocative as a ghost story whispered around a campfire.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Raw Colours 
“It’s another irresistible album from a band that gets better with each go-round.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

All available on Bandcamp.
