Cooperation songs with different musicians.
Lyrics by Will Grayson
Written between 2020-2022

Shine Forever

This song that I wrote is from 2022 about a fictional young woman from the late 1800s. 
It’s been in development for quite some time until it’s now finished for everyone to listen.

Mary Beth

This one I wrote during summer 2020 in a time of heartaches. Really care about these songs and I hope y’all like ‘em.

Gasoline

Whoever made the experience of being ghosted out of nothin’, this song is just about that. 
These lyrics are are as well from summer 2020 and a damn emotional time. 

Maybe you can relate, and I hope you’ll like it!

Breaking The Silence

Wrote this song out of frustration. We all know probably the situation where we waited for someone and gave our heart into it - and in the end it was all for nothing. We just wasted our time. This song is exactly about that. Hope y’all like it and you can relate.

Waiting Never Pays

Wrote that in early 2023. Been thinking about all those mixed and contradicting messages we get from early on in our youth and childhood throughout our whole lifespan. Something that’s messed up. Messed up messages because people change their mind all the time and no matter what you do, you can’t please anyone and everyone says something different. 

Hope y’all like it and maybe think about it.

Messed Up Messages

This a country song I written in 2023, while relaxing in the summer sun, inspired by an eagle roaming the sky and day dreaming. One of my faster songs. Still unsure about that one, some parts where I‘m not really satisfied yet.

Wild N‘ Free

Home is pure love song I wrote during summer, 2023. 
It’s like you can have a place where you live, a house, a apartment- it doesn’t matter. But it’s still just a place but a home isn’t a place, home is a person - a person we love - we share our heart with. And this song just about that.

(You are my) Home

Reverend is a murder ballad, set in the same imaginary world, I wrote Mary Beth in. At least in my mind - they may even knew each other being set in the same timeframe with the same scenery around them. 
I wrote Reverend as well within a Red Dead Redemption 2 session but in this case it’s not really inspired by a particular character, more the world itself.

Reverend (Rock Version)

I wrote this song in the early summer of 2020, like some other songs on this album. I was deeply in love however looking back glad that didn’t work out. But the time it was good, I really felt great. 
And in retrospective not everything that ends very badly was bad in general, cause no matter how bad something ends, there was beauty before that or else it couldn’t have had hurt us in the end. So bless the good and bad things in your life - because there’s beauty in both and even bad romances started with great feelings that made us feel like flying.

Ain't No Love Song

Die Lyrics schrieb Ich 2024, und spiegelt gewissermaßen eine Art toxische verführerische Situation mit einer wieder, gleichzeitig aber auch eine Zusammenfassung mehrerer Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre, welche durch bildhafte Erinnerungen mit in den Text einflossen.

Dirty Pretty Little Devil

I wrote the verses to miracle, during 2022, while being desperately in love with someone. 

Goin‘ through my lyric archives I rediscovered it, took my guitar and tried to finish it and adding a chorus which also lead to the „na na nana“ parts. 

Originally I had it as a slow country song in mind, but after listening to some Def Leppard songs I took my guitar once again and played with rhythms - that was the point of „yeah let’s make it a rock anthem.“ 

Wasn’t easy to get everything right as I imagined it in my head. But now after some finishing touches in LogicPro - this is it! Hope y’all like it!

Miracle

Experimentelle Lyrics zum zuhören und wirken lassen. Die Lyrics hier zu schreiben war nicht einfach mit all den Dingen die ich in den Text packen wollte.

Possibilities

Protestsong. Einer der wenigen die ich je auf deutsch schrieb und je schreiben werde. Er hätte so aber auf Englisch kein Sinn gemacht.

Wir Haben Genug (Alt. Live Version)

Wrote those lyrics relaxing in the water while looking at the light blue sky. 
Dedicated to all the people who travel on after this live is over and those who are left behind.

With Wings To Carry You Away

This is a song I played around in my head for quite some time. Its paying respect to Bob Dylan, his music and his legendary mark he‘d set on music and lyric writing. Bob Dylan isn’t just a musician, he‘s a spirit breaking free through his writings and his music. So I tried to write the lyrics to pay respect to his songs and I hope y’all like it.

Dylan

Sometimes we tend to kinda lose ourselves in life. And then after a while when we recover and rediscover ourselves… well I wrote these lyrics about just that. Meeting ourselves once again after we lost ourselves, when it’s like meeting an old friend again.

Hello

Started to write these lyrics during fall 2023, and finished them slowly over time this year with some rewriting and so on. Well, and for the rest - we’ll just listen and enjoy. Hope y’all like it, I guess these lyrics may be relatable for some, don’t know.
