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

NOTHIN' LIKE THE SOUND	
OF RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
ON A COLD WINTER'S MORNIN'	
WHILE YOU'RE SLEEPIN'	
	
NOTHIN' LIKE THE SOUND	
OF BACON FRYIN' IN A PAN	
WHEN YOUR WAKIN' UP	
ON A COLD WINTER MORNIN'	
	
(CHORUS)	
WINTER RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
WHILE THE WORLD GOES ROUND	
WINTER RAIN COMIN' DOWN	
NOTHING LIKE THAT SOUND	
	
TO COLD TO GO OUTSIDE	
TO BORED TO STAY INSIDE	
A TIME OF FRUSTRATION	
AND A LITTLE DEPRESSION	
	
WE LONG FOR A SUNNY DAY	
SO WE CAN GO OUT SIDE AND PLAY	
BUT THE WINTER RAIN	
KEEPS COMIN' DOWN	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
MY FRIEND, DON'T DESPAIR	
A REVIVAL IS SPREADING	
AND SPRING IS COMING	
CAN YOU FEEL IT IN THE AIR	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS - OPTIONAL)

Freedom (collab with Paploviante)

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Vocals & lyric : Janne Hennie

Pretending everything is just okay
Always a smile on my face
Walking right beside you all the way
You don't see my depressive days

Chorus:
Sometimes when you see me
It is not me you see
Sometimes when you hear me
It is not me you hear..

Says a lot of words that I don't mean
Gives a lot of signals you don't see
Decorates the inner me for you
Longing to be real, to show the truth

Chorus

Telling everyone that I am fine
Even if I'm feeling down
Push away the shadow inside me
I can cry when I'm alone

Chorus

There's no need to ask if I'm okay
I will just smile and say yes
But if you look closely, you will see
That my eyes would never lie..

Sometimes when you see me
It is not me you see
Sometimes when you hear me
It is not me you hear...

It Is Not Me

Thank you for listening :)

Lyrics:

The night is approaching
Can you feel it?
Flashing red lights
Can you see it?
Music and rhythms
Can you hear it?
People are dancing
Can you do it?

Chorus:
Music and rhythms
Will make you alive
Dancing and moving
Lose time for a while
Forget all your problems
And dance without fear
When the sun rises
It all still be there

Mmm  Mmm

If the mind takes you
And you lose control
Collect all your problems
Put them on hold
The evening is coming
Flashing red lights
Music and rhythms
Into the night

Chorus

Chorus

Can you feel it?
Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you do it?

Chorus

Mmm
Can you feel it?
Mmm
Can you see it?
Mmm
Can you hear it?
Mmm
Can you do it?

Lose Time For A While (Original)

Hey…. Did this song go in so many directions until this final recording. It started as an electric slide song, then a mandolin song, and finally as an acoustic guitar/recorder song. You know I laugh every time I play recorder. Just imagine a rough and scrappy, wild old man creating such a thing. Hahahahaha. Anyway, there are a lot of crows here. When I was working on the slide version, I heard them cawing outside as they flew by. (I scrapped my impromptu birdcall crowing on this, no one needs to hear that, not even the crows.) Lyrically the song has 2 distinct moods with some vocal transitioning. And guess what folks: As a novice singer, I can finally vibrato my voice… some more shenanigans you’ll have to put up with. Back to the crows. In town, we have a huge flock (murder) of town crows. Hundreds. They sure love fast food, and hanging out by the high school where tasty, tossed tidbits can be had. They are organized too, as if in an air force, as they are mostly wary of us humans… Finally, happy holidays to all who celebrate, and happy times to everyone else. Hope you enjoy this one. I sure did. Mark

As The Crow Flies

A song about over-consumption at the mall Music & Lyrics By Massimo Primiero Sung By Luca Giordano

Sale Sale Sale in slumber of Bazar 
With lacquers the glitter and flavors of Lillà
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it
Spend Buy Rent in an environment of rich ones
where glitter light and flowers are empty as holes.
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it
Sale Sale Sale in slumber of Bazar 
With lacquers the glitter and flavors of Lillà
Everything is ready here on sale if you want it

Discounts in large and shiny packages if you want with attractive proposals
Tired false smiles of revelers emptied of pride and desire to dream
Sly deviants handlers of strong deceptions dirty profits on the backs of revelers
Exploited Humiliated with toilet considerations in non-stop work for the delight of the lackeys.

Savings earnings
Savings earnings

Goods in relaxing frames hidden thefts of arduous jobs
Deaths hidden by the conveniences of futile needs of an impertinent environment
People as numbers and numbers as stamps calculations and balances of death and frustration
Shoplifting players wielding strong military deceptions hidden behind low prices.

Savings earnings
Savings earnings

Junk strong with exceptional discounts cashiers carts receipts to count
take grab bargain grab savings earn in points.
Junk strong with exceptional discounts cashiers carts receipts to count
take grab bargain grab savings earn in points.

Sales based on fake promotions mirrors of fake games given away
Everything sells Everything cashes in.

We are waiting for you with open arms ;-)

The Neighbor Is Not At Home Tonight

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Vocals & Lyrics : Janne Hennie

Don't look the other way
I have something to say
We are living on borrowed time
Live it well, with that in mind

We're not here for a long time
Lets make it a good time

Don't get hung up in in small things
It doesn't mean anything
But rather keep in mind
Not to waste precious time

We're not here for a long time
Lets make it a good time

Why be stubborn and mad
Well, its okay to be a little sad
Time goes by way to fast
So make the good times last

We're not here for a long time
Lets make it a good time

I will say it again and again
Want you to understand
Don't want to waste my time
Just saying what's on my mind

I'm not here for a long time
I'm here for a good time

Don't look the other way
I have something to say
We are living on borrowed time
Live it well, with that in mind

We're not here for a long time
Lets make it a good time

I'm gonna say it one more time
Making sure its on your mind
Time goes by way to fast
So make the good times last

We're not here for a long time
Lets make it a good time

Not Here For A Long Time

A Song For You

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

Fake Little Birds

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

When I go out I might meet other men
But you don't have to be blue
No one is like you
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

If I look at others, and maybe not just you
I don't look at beauty
You are the only one for me
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

When you're having a bad day and feel like crap
Well, I think you're awesome
Prettier than everyone
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Can you see the same you are to me?
Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Big blue eyes
A beautiful smile
Don't ruin it with jealousy!

Don't Ruin It With Jealousy

Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

Every time I came to visit
You danced around my feet
Made happy noises, barked a song
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

You are my friend, like a brother to me
We could talk, have long good walks
Always faithful, with trust in us
So much comfort in my mothers dog

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

If I was sad, you licked my hand
could always sense and understand
Whenever something was bad or wrong
You were there, your presence so strong

Take a rest now, my brother, my friend
I'm pretty sure I'll meet you again
Then we'll take a long good walk
Lots of cuddles, lots of love

But now you're tired, you need to rest
I know you did you're very best
I will carry you on our last walk
My little brother, my mothers dog

My Mothers Dog

Music : Janne Hennie & Little Man
Lyrics & vocals : Janne Hennie

Deep inside me I have a secret place
No one knows about it
You can't see it on my face
There I can hide what I don't won't you to see
Love and anger
The truth about me..

Chorus:
In my little Chamber, my secrets are safe
And maybe one day I will take you to that place
Every tear I never showed
The words I never said
Are hidden in my chamber
My true self is there

All the love I never got to share
The pain and sorrow
It's all hidden there
All the frustration I had to put away
The honest words I couldn't say..

Chorus

Chorus

Deep inside me I have a secret place
No one knows about it
You can't see it on my face
There I can hide what I don't want you to see
Love and anger
The truth about me...

Chorus

Every tear I never showed
The words I never said
Are hidden in my chamber
My true self is there...

I did this song a few years ago before Merle died on my Godin nylon string guitar.  A bit different with a little influence from other artist like Jerry Reed and others.  Forgive me Merle and Merle Haggard fans.  I love this man's work
