Honest and nice lyrics. I like this track mood. Very well performed.

Cool song. Songwriting is well done and arrangements too!

Great vocals here, man. The holy trinity of piano, acoustic guitar and accordion works incredibly well too!

Don't comment much, these days, but I thorough enjoy your music and writing ... keep it up!

Good as always. No disappointment 😭🔥

Beautiful , mellow feel ,  accordian ?  sweet flow, warm feel

I heard about that north fourth beat down…


Sits like a smoking gun.
In the early morning sun.
But a woman's work is never done.
Looking out for number one.

Youre not a crazy diamond you're a cunt.
You've been getting a free lunch.
And living rent free in her head.
With your ashtray by the bed.

Your excuses fade away.
One day you'll have to face up to
It all.

The transparency of your lies.
Its a sub-par cloth disguise.
Its a fucking obvious reprise.
Like the piss stains you try to hide.

Best at the course she's ever seen.
Yet you smell like a brewery.
And you're a novelist? in your dreams!
Blank pages on your screen.

Your excuses fade away.
One day you'll have to face up to
It all.

The reasons that you gave.
On the long phone call to your mate.
A one way ticket to the grave.
Face the facts theres nowt to save.

Your timings don't work out.
You're at least six years out.
You only had to pay your way.
Not cash but in the other ways. 

Your excuses fade away.
One day you'll have to face up to
It all.

Oh, I never touched her face. 
The mating call of a disgrace.
Stealing money from her purse 
Working twelve hours as a nurse.

Youre running out of clout, 
Now you're thirty-nine not out.
Its true we've all seen better days.
Better try some other ways.

Your excuses fade away.
One day you'll have to face up to
It all.

Smoking Gun

An acoustic version of this song from our album 'An Unread Note'

LYRICS:

A prism divides the beam
A schism, we’re in-between
It isn’t the final scene

The present is all we know
Unpleasant, but there you go
The crescent, a soothing glow

A Prism - acoustic version

An acoustic version of this song from our fourth album 'A Story of Your Broken Hearts'

LYRICS:

No shelter from the rain
For those who helped her to explain

Too tired now to explore any more
Blew the fires out when we saw we were sure

It’s not that you’re kidding me, it’s just that your mask looks too real
I see what I look for, when I watch you my brain slips a gear
It appears you fit me ideally
But your beautiful heart is already separate and healing

We crawl and we walk and we run and we jump and we’re flying
We call and we talk and we sing about something that’s dying

I’m not such a fool, I just have a rule
Don’t cut your loss ‘til it’s over
If you slice it too soon you’re risking a wound to a lover
So what would you say when the fog melts away
And the warmth comes to rest on your shoulder
Would you look at me then and choose me again
Or still walk away with another

Your Beautiful Heart (Dying) - acoustic version

I met you years ago
but the time was never right
You were with a very good friend
and I had yet to see the light

Our paths crossed so many times
Again and Again and Again

I remember thinking 
'She's too good for him.'
The moment I saw your face
It's a moment
That stuck inside of me
And a feeling that would never fade

I met you years ago
but the time was never right
You were alone but I wasn't
and I had yet to see the light

Our paths crossed so many times
Again and Again and Again

I remember thinking 
I'd be happier with her
And thought about what
might have been
But it'd be years
Oh so many years
Before I could try again

I met you years ago
but this time  the time was right
Where we were didn't matter 
Because I'd seen the light.

Again and Again and Again

Again And Again And Again

Hey,
here is my cover of George Harrison's song "I'd Have You Anytime" - the opening track of his 1970 masterpiece "All Things Must Pass". Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of his passing, so I made this cover to celebrate the life of George Harrison.
If you like my version, please leave a like, follow, repost or comment, to give me some feedback...
Thanks ;)

We All Need A 2nd Chance - COMBSTEAD / Robert Grigg

FIND THE LIGHT
 
I remember when we were young and we were bold
smart enough to never even heed what we'd been told
smart enough to know that all the pavings were never lined with gold

we would run and take our noises to the streets
we would pick up ends and find a way to make them meet
we might stumble but we’d always end back upon our feet

we put ourselves through every test
the only way to be was be our best…   
the only thing we’d never do was never rest

and we always found a night
when we would get it right.
and we always found a light 
and we were burning bright…

we’d come alive when we all took to the stage
when there were people to win over, people to persuade
we stood in the spotlight, and its shining made us brave

but the world's so full of experts so full full of critics and it seems
they’d love to drag you down love to pluck you from your dreams
but it never really mattered ‘cos we found ourselves in those beams

we put ourselves through every test
the only way to be was be our best…
the only thing we’d never do was never rest

and we always found a night
when we would get it right.
and we always found a light
And we'd be burning bright...

years went by and we slowly realise
as they’re passing:  the best years of our lives
I look at you now you’ve got the same light in your eyes

so go turn your failures into triumphs in the end
you will work through all the tears and all the pain
you will stumble but you’ll always get back up again

put yourself through every test
the only way to be is be your best…
the only thing to ever do is never rest

and you will find a night….
when you will get it right…
and you find a light   

you’ll be burning so bright
you will light half the night
you’ll make everything right…
you will night after night…

and you’ll find a night,
you will find a night
When you'll make everything right...

Find The Light

Best listened to in your bedroom with a moving cosmos projection… in seasonal celebration of the new Webb telescope launch..

LULLABY 5 (Only Stardust)

chains
twisting chains
linking names
building frames

chains
spiral round
linking us
to all you’ve found

frames
building frames
playing games
linking names

chains
connecting me
connecting you
and all we do

only stardust and
light and time and then
only stardust and
me and you…

stars
a million stars
they’re looking down
counting us…

years, 
a billion years
were not enough 
to shape you

only stardust…

fears
brush away
the dark is light
night is day

only stardust…

Lullaby 5 (Only Stardust)

A ginnel is a passageway between red brick terraced houses, specifically in Yorkshire, where I grew up. The ones near where I lived had peculiar sound reflections that always fascinated me when I was little. Macalla is Irish Gaelic for echo, in a nod to my Irish roots…
