You play at a very high level every time - that's great fun! Thank you and keep it up!

The signature song from our album of the same name Desiree. A barn burning rocker that gets you going from start to finish. The stage is set when a beautiful mystery woman beguiles this small town with her looks and style creating speculation and wonder.

Desiree

In a world where we all live with broken dreams,
Through the storms we will walk, legs shackled in chains
With fiery eyes, Uncontrollable rage
Still defiance in faces. Our souls are still wild
With passionate cries, we fight for our places
We’ve seen all the signs, we’ve seen all the signs
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.
Bridge
Oooooh. Ooooh. Oooooh, OOOOH
We’ll be holding on with fire in our eyes.
We’ll be fighting on with fire in our hearts
We’ll be floating on, onto paradise
We’ll be holding on, onto paradise
We’ll Carry on
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.

Floating Through Fire

Run-Away

It seems to me that many people these days make more effort to separate themselves from others than to compare themselves with others. Both are triggers for unhappiness, in my opinion, but it's something more than that.

This song has very few bass parts. Most parts use an 8-string guitar. This is the result of avoiding the competition between the bass and the area of existence. I did slaps, thumbs, tapping, and all sorts of other things. It took me a long time to finish the song because there were so many parts I had to practice and I had tendonitis....hahahaha

Those No Longer Needed

A song about looking ok on the outside

LYRICS:

You have to wait in line
You have to wait in line
Like you were told to
But you don't want to buy
No you don't want to buy
The life they sold you

Your eyes are turning red
Inside your spinning head
The lights are blinding
Any emotion fades
Behind your mirrored shades
I see you hiding
I see you hiding

We'll run away under cover of night and be gone
We'll spend our days turning newfound ways into song

I see you hiding
Yeah, I see you hiding

You have to wait in line
You have to wait in line
Like you were told to
But you don't want to buy
No you don't want to buy
The life they sold you

You have to wait in line
You have to wait in line
Like you were told to
You have to wait in line
You have to wait in line
I see you hiding

See You Hiding

Virtual Array - Robert Grigg / Combstead

Hello everyone, I am proud to present, my first track, my anthem for the open road. "Northern Lights: Driven by Desire" is all about that wild, free feeling I get when I’m driving under the endless northern skies. With every beat, every guitar riff, you’ll feel the rush of the wind and the pull of adventure, just like I do when I’m behind the wheel.

This track is my way of capturing the energy of those long, midnight drives, with the northern lights dancing above me. It’s a mix of powerful rock and uplifting beats that will make you want to hit the gas and never look back. Whether you’re chasing the horizon or just vibing to the music, this song is your perfect companion for the ride.

So turn it up, let go, and come with me on this journey. 🚛🔥

Northern Lights: Driven By Desire

Barn Finds - Robert Grigg / Combstead

Lately, due to my age, I feel a decline in my abilities in all aspects of my life. Times change, and the good times pass in a flash. So I think it is wonderful that people live their lives appreciating the small things in everyday life.

The Vanishing World

Chasing the Wind Again is a soulful reflection on ambition, dreams, and the endless pursuit of something just out of reach. With atmospheric melodies and inspired lyrics, this track invites listeners into a world where hope and struggle dance together. Perfect for late-night drives and moments of deep thought, 'Chasing the Wind Again' captures the bittersweet beauty of chasing what we believe in — even when it feels impossible.
“Chasing the Wind” was my debut release—an introduction to a full catalog of music I’ll be unveiling piece by piece as each track is completed. "Chasing the Wind Again" is a more guitar-centric version designed to be accessible and emotionally resonant, while still maintaining a distinct edge that sets it apart. It blends melodic appeal with lyrical depth, offering listeners a pleasant and thought-provoking sound. The lyrics balance instruction and inspiration, inviting listeners to reflect, grow, and move forward. This is just the beginning of a larger artistic journey, and “Chasing the Wind Again” sets the tone for what’s to come.

[Verse 1]
Working, waiting, wasting time
Wanting what I cannot find
Water flowing to the sea
Seasons spinning endlessly
Same sun rising every day
Same stars fading far away

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn just to begin

[Verse 2]
Building towers made of sand
Counting coins in trembling hands
Time is turning, turning still
Like a wheel against my will
Everything I try to keep
Slips away while I sleep

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin

[Bridge]
Stop - breathe - see
What's right in front of me
Stop - breathe - be
The truth has set me free
Stop - breathe - Heal
Finally I can feel
Stop reveal
What's simple can be real

[Final Verse]
Now I watch the birds in flight
Feel the breeze and hold it tight
See the flowers break and bend
As the morning starts again
In the simple, in the small
Find the meaning of it all

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace that lives within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
Now I know how to begin

Chasing the Wind Again
