Life & The Local 

We can talk the same old shite for many hours
Our I could buy you some more petrol station flowers
Tell you that I’m sorry 
Then do the same shit tomorrow 
Our except it for what it is
And give up on the big fat quiz
We can walk down to the local
Join in the banter and get social 
Because that’s more fun 
If you wanna be my number 1

Life and the local


Glad to see you made the right decision 
And you kinda catching on to my vision 
Oh life is for living so now you gotta start giving 
I’m gonna get the first round in
And this were we begin 
To paper over all the crack’s 
And make sure it gonna last 
Well at least to the end of this session 
Don’t ask me another question 
Yes that’s my best mate Tommy 
And yes I find him rather funny 
I don’t think he meant to offend 
Oh the coats on is this the end 

Life and the local

Life And The Local ~ Conscience Of Kings

The devils weather is a raw acoustic version of a song I wrote May 2020 recorded March 2022. A plug in and play with added harmonies. Thanks for listening. Gaz

The Devils Weather (Acoustic)

A true story based on my childhood memories of my father teaching an eccentric girl to play guitar. She was off the ￼￼estate￼ and would hang about our back gate waiting for free lessons.
The kids called her Mad Mary but she wasn’t mad just different and totally obsessed with The Shadows. Enjoy 👍￼

Mad Mary ~ Conscience of Kings

No Where  Than Somewhere (Acoustic)

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

Marilyn’s Quote ~ Conscience of Kings with Jeff Roberts

This is a collaboration project named Under This Sun with Sarge a musician and producer from my home town Birmingham.
A song about the things that we aren’t proud off and stay with us forever.
Stranger In Disguise 
Enjoy

Stranger In Disguise by ~ Under This Sun

Another song wrote in lockdown and dug out from the files of my IPhone . This is a tribute to the hard work of a young family member who worked flat out through the pandemic as a nurse. God bless her
Another version also is on my cloud with Jeff Roberts but  this one is the original.

Angels Without Wings (3- Acoustic Sky Session’s)

Salvage your damage a song about a rebound relationship that was beyond repair as the damage was already done in the last one.

Salvage Your Damage ~Conscience of Kings

A song about a girl who had an amazing voice who played live regular on the scene. 
Then she suddenly stopped singing and moved away with her partner without telling anyone.
Because that selfish man didn’t want her to do it no more.
Such a waste of amazing talent.

Away With The Wind ~ Conscience of Kings

Pearl is the lead track to our debut album A State Of Disarray on all streaming services.The lyrics were  inspired by Pinks amazing speech at an awards ceremony regarding her daughter.
Her young daughter had the thought that see was ugly and looked liked a boy with long hair. 
Yet she was a beautiful 6 year old. Where do these thoughts come from at such a tender age.

It made me think how we really need to be more positive about ourselves and especially the people we love and people who surround us in our lives. The song is based on someone who is absolutely wonderful in all aspects but can’t see it themselves.

After a busy marketing campaign the  track as made several playlists, received airplay on independent radio stations and as been streamed over 20000 times in just a month also attracting over 1000 monthly listeners.￼
Please check the album out and let us know your thoughts. The link is below.

Take the gravel Take the shell and make yourself a Pearl

Pearl - Conscience of Kings - Radio Edit

A song that touches on the realm of mental health and how we need to help break down the defence of such a powerful illness. It’s not a box to tick or a problem to solve its far more complicated than that. 
If theirs someone we love or just someone we know or even a complete stranger just shine a little light into there corner. This will let them now they are not alone and we are here to talk and help. 
The song as been recorded with live instruments remotely and me and Sarge  we would like to thank the musicians who got involved.
Sarge as produced, played several instrumentals and liaised with the other musicians to make this happen. Enjoy

Darkest Corner ~ Under This Sun _

North Star meaning also plays a key role in astrology as the term used to refer to an individual's “north node” or destiny, the path of more fulfillment and purpose. It's part of two of the most visible constellations in the sky – The Big and Little Dipper.
This song as a slight slant towards Christmas and to all those people missing from families for one reason or another. 
They have left to find their North Star, some might find what they are looking for and many won’t but it doesn’t stop people searching.
And it doesn’t stop families worrying how they are and where they are.
Come home for Christmas that’s all we ask .
Happy Christmas to all you Soundclouder’s it’s been a pleasure I look forward to 2023 with you to do it all over again. 
Gaz

North Star ~ Conscience Of Kings

A song I wrote two years ago or more about my wife and her mother. Reflecting on the loss of a mother and how it affects the daughter so much and continues to hurt everyday five years later.
I gave Noobly the original demo and said imagine this.
We are on stage at the Albert Hall. You with an acoustic guitar and me on vocals with a full orchestra behind us. He said no pressure then and laughed.
It’s the only way I could express how big this sound needed to be.
Noobly loves a challenge and always delivers. I was blown away at what he had created it’s a home  studio masterclass of orchestration and production.
He also pulled out the original vocal part from the middle 8 and re-used it again as he thought it was more authentic than the new vocal.
A nice touch for me and nostalgic.
The anniversary draws near so now is a good time for the song to be released as a tribute. 
Just Not Today………….

Just Not Today ~ Conscience Of Kings

Firstly a big thanks to Shane of Harmful If Swallowed for agreeing to do do this male duet. It’s a first for me and probably for him, so a very interesting concept. It’s been a song that’s been hanging around a while just waiting for the right type of vocalist to agree. I am a great admirer of Shane’s work because of his fine lyrics and interpretations of real life. 
The song Elephant In The Room was wrote over five years ago with my son Owen  who would of been around 18 at the time. He had got into playing guitar and dabbling in song writing so my role was helping him with melody and lyrics. 
It’s a song I always thought had great potential and as I wasn’t that active in music myself at the time only a raw acoustic version existed.
This version is what we used as a sketch and Noobly transformed it into a full blown production. Seriously Noobly is a real talent and absolute pleasure to work with so respect to him.
There as been slight lyric changes but the melody is the same.
The song is about to close friends sitting in one of their living rooms in silence. There is an elephant in the room for both of them because a serious matter is not being discussed and neither of them are opening the conversation. The one  as done something really bad to the other so use your imagination.
The conversation is only happening inside their heads so hence a male duet of thoughts.
Hope you enjoy the song as much as we did creating it.

Elephant In The Room  -  Conscience of Kings feat Harmful If Swallowed

A tribute to one of my closest friends Andy who passed last year from cancer. He left two beautiful daughters and his wonderful wife behind. 
Also a long lasting effect on me and I never got to tell him he really was one of my kings.
This is a raw live recording because that’s seems  more relevant to him coming from a punk background. 
I worked, socialised and shared some unbelievable memorable moments with Andy stretching over a 30 year period.
He was an original punk rocker in his younger days and played as a drummer in many different punk bands. Carried the tattoos of punk and that period carried him through the rest of his life. Very knowledgeable about music and cultures. 
He always got up behind the kit and blasted out at our soundchecks and when we were breaking down after the gig, he just couldn’t help himself. Always supported live new music and my band projects. 
Andy was one of the Co founders with me of underground music magazine Blag. Known as Andypunkrock to the readers.
I will never forget him and think about him everyday.
You don’t realise until certain people leave you how much it affects you. 
RIP Andy you were One Of My Kings.

One Of My Kings (Acoustic Live RIP)

A song relating to the trials and tribulations of relationships that are volatile and a rollercoaster ride. We break up, we make and we repeat the process over and over until we realise that to make this work tough love is needed for responsible behaviour.
We need to fall apart just to know how to come together.

Fall Apart  ~ Conscience Of Kings

I love to go back to basics with songwriting and usually on a lazy afternoon pick up the acoustic and mike it up and record with no thrills and definitely no skills.
The Green is a tribute to a piece of grass that I spent my childhood homing my football skills, Learning how to ride a bike, fighting , chatting up the local girls and anything else really.
My mom still lives on the boundary of it as we did as kids. One day back in 2019 i was leaving to go back home from a visit and looked across The Green and I felt sad it was a hell hole of a burn out car, old burger van with grass growing around it and tire marks everywhere.
There were neighbours having a barbecue on their front lawn with friends, cans, tables and chairs on the council footpath and a massive bouncy castle on the council grass. With loads of cars using it as a car park.
Is this our England ! we loved were we lived and we’re grateful for such a big piece of grass to play are internationals on.
We wasn’t posh this was a council estate with good honest people who respected their homes and others. 
Patrick would come down with his Irish family & mates to play England v Ireland and we all live out our dreams on that grass . 
Yeah we had Mad Roy and Steak out Sid trying to stop us but it never did they were just old miserable buggers.
Kids don’t play on it anymore it’s a neglected shit hole because irresponsible selfish adults made it that way.
Long Live The Green I hope someday you make a recovery ❤️‍🩹

The Green (Acoustic)

Video single YouTube link :

I was walking through Birmingham City Centre on a Saturday afternoon and it dawned on me how loud our City’s are.

Buskers trying to earn a living over the noise of machinery grinding the surfaces, sirens wailing, football fans singing and traffic sounding their horns in frustration. Among a million other sounds.

It’s always been like this and long may it continue as it means our Citys are alive and kicking!
We are really pleased  that this track as our first video link on YouTube (Link Above )

We have joined forces with film maker and street photographer Steve Chilton to put visuals to our music.
Steve is a very talented man and as worked wonders for us and many other projects with Midlands based sculpture’s and artists.

Steve is working on our next video project a song about the famous unsolved murder from the 40s Who Put Bella In The Wych  Elm that took place in Hagley Woods a ten minute walk from my house. 
I hope you click the link as it’s a great piece of work from Steve to enhance our tune Sound Of Your City 🔇

Sound of Your City - Conscience Of Kings ( video link in behind this track)

A song about the person who inspires you to be created and you admire in everyway and that’s why She Is My Muse. 
This track as blended indie electro pop with old school rap. The Conscience of Kings project allows us to experiment with so many different concepts and have great fun doing it. 
This is a completely three way collaboration with Noobly taking care of the instrumental and production/producing, me vocals/ lyrics and Sdot rapping to his own lyrics also. 
The featured rapper Sdot is a young midlands talent that as been praised by many established rap artists for his live performances and YouTube music videos.
If this is your thing then you can watch his music videos on YouTube and catch him on all major streaming services simply type in Sdot. Really worth a listen and watch. 
It’s a totally different territory to any other collaboration we have done before. 
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it .

She is my Muse ~ Conscience of Kings feat SDOT

Admire the Chaos 
A song for a strong independent woman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly and makes you admire her chaos.



V1 
I love the way you don’t suffer fools, gladly, and you tell them what you think
It must be your superpower and tonight you look so  pretty in ink 
And I love the shock on their faces 
It’s like you tied together their laces 


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode 

V2 
I love the way you are and stand your ground at the bar
And reduce grown men to become smaller than they are 
There’s always something scary about a woman’s scorn
But your not scary just chaos i adore


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode

Admire The Chaos ~ Conscience Of Kings

Beyond the pale is outside the boundaries of acceptable behaviour and how people think it’s alright to take you out in your weakest moment and pretend to be that friend but are plotting behind your back to be your replacement.
The opening track to our Layman’s Eyes EP which also features two other previous unreleased tracks 
Fear Or Favour & Killing A Black Swan. 
The EP is available on all major streaming platforms 👇

Beyond the Pale - Conscience of Kings

The term 'touchstone' is used for any past knowledge or experience that has a strong influence on a person. 
This song lyrics are a personal experience that had a nostalgic and emotional Journey for me.
Noobly sent the piece of music at the time I had just finished penning my thoughts. His instrumental just fitted perfectly to the mood. It’s strange how things happen as he had no idea.
I recently converted old slides into jpegs to enable them to be viewed.
This was a 15 year time capsule taken from the late 60s to early 1980s just stored in little yellow polaroid boxes.
Pictures that hadn’t been viewed in decades that came alive and captured a moment.
The cover is a picture of my dad and brother with me inside the pram . He is walking along Rhyl’s seaside promenade. 
The year 1968 and how cool did my dad look he was also a musician.He passed away 20 years ago but my mom is still active and well at 88. 
So if you have any small slides dig them out and convert them over,  the journey is incredible.

Touchstones - Conscience Of Kings

When I received the email asking me if I was interested in collaborating with Dirk from The Gatsbys even  before I heard the track the answer was yes.
When I heard the track I was blown away by the instrumental and the big Rickenbacker sound.
The Rick sound had always been a big influence on my 90s band This Elegant Chaos. So it was a pleasure to be involved writing lyrics and singing on the track .
The song is a true story based on an extremely close friendship that spans from kids to the present day.
And how the dynamics of friends choices  in parters later in life changes how that friendship develops. 
Still always best friends because that we never change but that doesn’t mean the relationship doesn’t.
What’s ever said and done and when there’s nothing left to defend you will always defend them to the end. That’s just how it is. 

 Nothing Left To Defend (Lyric’s) 

V1
We don’t see each other like we used to do 
She as your location keeping  tabs on you 

Bridge 2
We’ve been tight since we were kids
We argued you even broke my ribs
From the boxing club to the paired bout
I swung a right it nearly knocked you out 

V2
To me  you were my mothers other prodigal son
She loved you like her own called her son of a gun 

Bridge 1

We layed down the gloves and then we hugged 
Walked straight out of that  boxing club 
Swore never to fight each other again
And save ourselves from jellybrain 

Chorus 1
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the  end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
Like brothers in arms we bare the scars 


V3
From the rowdy pubs to the mirrorballs hanging in  the night clubs
You attracted trouble wherever ever you stood 
I wouldn’t change a thing we had the world at our feet 
And if it was a movie I’d play it all  on repeat 

Bridge 3

God I miss you & those nights out
When life was more than a roundabout 
And now it’s just one of those things
It was Never To Much  we would sing 

Long Chorus 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
I will still defend you to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend 
It’s blood brothers  to the end 
When there’s nothing left to defend
Like brothers in arms we bare the scars

Nothing Left to Defend by Gaz Brownie & The Gatsbys

# Indie Electro vibe 
 
New single Shape Shifter to be released on 16th November all major streaming services. 
A song based around relationships 
that move and change due to different circumstances to suit the mood. And how ever toxic that might be there’s always an element to missing these people when you say goodbye.
A Shaper Shifter indeed ! 


V1
You moved your face to rest 
upon  my cheeks
And I could feel your eyelashes tickling making me weak 
It made me flutter with electricity 
I knew this moment was the last
one for me 
If just one more night before you leave 
The bed will be to big without you my darling your in need 

Chorus 
Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You go from blue to green 
Depending on the scene
Whatever colour takes you 
As long as your seen
Red to yellow back to green 
shape shifting chameleon 
if you know what I mean


Verse Bridge
If just one more night before you leave 
The bed will be to big without you my darling in need 

V2
And when I touch the cold pressed white cotton sheets
It’s a reminder that’s were you used to sleep 
And maybe I’m a little deluded into thinking you’ll come back
After all that’s been said and done Im the man who told you to pack
It’s not because I was punching above my welter weight
It was the fact that you’re always showing a different face 

Chorus 
Your a Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You go from blue to green 
Depending on the scene
Whatever colour takes you 
As long as your seen
Red to yellow back to green 
shape shifting chameleon 
if you know what I mean

Outro

Your a Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You know what I mean

Shape Shifter  -  Conscience of Kings

#Indie Electronic Rock

Locked out is a true story based on what happened to a very good friend recently.
He had  no idea his partner of three years had been planning to leave him for months. He came home to a note saying I will be in touch there will be an email to follow.
And that was that.
She locked him out her life and hasn’t been seen since. 
Thankfully he’s a survivor and it didn’t take him long to get back on the horse and ride again. 
That’s just the way he rolls !

V1 
We we’re making love the sunday before 
everything as it should 
Couldn’t see the trees 
For the wood 
That note that you left 
Didn’t leave a single  clue
We went from oak 
To hollow bamboo 
Then I guess you always new 

Chorus 
I’m feeling locked out knocked  out 
Now that the word as got out got out 
I’m feeling locked out knocked out 
And I can’t even shout shout out 
Cause you knocked me out for the count 

V2 
There must be a 1000 reasons
To why you left 
And you choose not to tell me 
So I will have to second guess
I’m in room with no windows 
And not any doors 
You’re being moving on for months 
Acting up this front 
 
Double Chorus

Outro to fade 
I’ve been feeling locked out knocked out 
I’ve been feeling locked out knocked out 
Now that the word as got out got out
I can’t even shout out shout out

Finally after recording over 30 songs we have narrowed it down to 11 of what we consider our best work to date. 
I hope you will check it out and follow us on what ever platform you listen on . Thank you for all the support you have showed on Soundcloud it’s very much appreciated.
60,0000 songs a day get released on Spotify so just a little splash in a massive ocean is all we can hope for but who knows!
We have already had publishing intrest  in the material from the point of moving the material on for other artists and sync work.￼
Acorns turn into oaks but is a long process. 

Gaz Brown, a singer songwriter and the other half of Conscience Of Kings with producer and multi musician Noobly.  Also I’m  a writing partner for Under This Sun with producer and multi musician Sarge.

I fell back into writing during 2020 after a 20 year absence. I think the hiatus￼ must have done me a world of good as I haven’t stop writing since, with over 70 songs recorded in studio or demo form. It’s just great to be back doing it again and not having to rehearse in sweaty lock ups and constantly playing live. I have the comfort of my own small studio room and do everything remotely
Having previously only ever fronted bands, the most successful one being 90s psychedelic original underground indie band This Elegant Chaos. I finally bothered to learn guitar and keyboard in the past couple of years .I just wish I had bothered when I was 15 as I might be decent by now!
My songs on this page are just born out of being creative and probably don’t sound nothing like my influences unlike the band page on sound-cloud of This Elegant Chaos.

Influences include late 70s new wave, late 80s indie guitar bands and the 90s explosion of ￼￼the Brit pop era and anything else that’s decent, whatever the style. If it’s good it’s just good!

The demo songs have all been recorded on a Boss Mini BR80 that fits in the palm of my hand. 
It’s all my own work except the  collaborations that are listed under Conscience of Kings, Under This Sun & Jeff Roberts. 
Always open to doing any collaborations with other Soundclouders, don’t be shy to ask. 

Conscience Of Kings is an ongoing project with Noobly that is available on streaming platforms. 
The aim is to record enough quality material to produce a full bodied piece of work to release a second album.

Hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment and follow. I will always check out genuine follows who put a shift in on my music . 
Remember this is a music community and support is vital without it what’s the point . 
Thanks Gaz 👍
