Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Written for a song challenge to bring awareness to the flooding this past Spring in Australia.
The song was required to have the phrase "water is rising".
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
When you look up at the night sky from where you live does the milky way burn bright. Clusters of stars glowing from time that passed us by. Are there certain crisp, clear, windless nights, the moon hanging on the dark side and every star seemed just a little brighter then before. As far as you could see there was shimmering light flickering from the faintest and most distant stars. I try to imagine what the night sky would have looked like 30,000 years ago or a million years. How much more did stars shine before we were here. Before electricity people probably paid more attention to the night skies
Cool song Greg. I never had a convertible Mustang but had a blue 1967 2 door. I had it for over 10 years and it was a neat car, but like most cars of that era began to cost big bucks to keep it running like it should, to say nothing of rust. I sold it to a teenager who did some body and engine work and I'd see it around town once in awhile. Never had had the itch for a convertible, but hey, have fun!

One of my offspring is a keen astronomer, with a huge telescope. She is also extremely knowledgeable
on the subject. Don't know about your title there, but absolutely love the song and the music is gorgeous.

I read recently that the term "gaslighting" was the number one search in Merriam Webster's Dictionary this year. So this song is dedicated to all of us who have stood up to that over the years... especially my very besties... you know who you…
Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.
As part of sound design for the Front Porch Players latest production “Let's Murder Marsha” I composed and recorded this theme song. It was recorded ‘in the box’ using MuseScore, iRealPro, and Reaper software.
The show continues next weekend…
We haven't been together in several months, but we had pent up creativity, and then were inspired by Bill Maher.... who gave us the hook.... "Humans Aren't Good People"
Welcome back to the MN Coffee table - Colleen, Greg and Mark!!!!
Humans…
Thanks for the great comments. It would be fun to spend an evening playing music with you in one of those "Cow Town" bars.
You asked about my musical friends, we all live in the Minneapolis area, maybe within a 20 mile circle. Covid disrupted our activities a lot, and then we all seemed to have major disruptions in our life.
My mother, for example, was on hospice most of last year and passed away at 93 years last fall. We are all coming out of the fog now and trying to get back to music. Tomorrow, Mark Lofgren, and I are meeting at Colleen Dillon's house for an afternoon of writing songs. With any luck we'll be posting something on Alonetone this week.
I volunteer at Presbyterian Homes where my mother was and yesterday we had a little impromptu concert. I played guitar along with the Activity director and one of the memory care residents. Take a listen:

Let's hope we all get much more active writing and recording this winter.
For some reason this one demanded to be written...
So here's to all of us that have been in this situation a time or two! Hugs and love to us all!!!
Feel Just Like A Loner

We sit across the table
We share the same old food…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Are those antlers or is he just happy to see her
Dang you, Greg. Now I have a strong desire to stuff that cheap shrieking plywood reso of mine in the woodstove and get one that sounds like this!
loving that classic song writing style @Greg Conner
this one nicely composed!
What lovely featured slide playing. Great song Greg!
Big grins for your lyrics. Been there, thinking that. Gawd but I'm glad we sold that old box of a minivan years ago. ER
Go Greg.
Looooong road, yup thats a real deep feel. Wow love it, Slidey right into Faved
Slip slidin' away, holdin' on just a little farther down that road
well played.
I love me some Greg Connor music in the morning.
Love the laid back approach. Great lyrics! John B.
My mom was an avid bird watcher. The clip of the cardinal finch reminded me of her... it was her favorite of favorite birds.
Nice work....

Stargazing does have a way of putting things in perspective.
If your head is in the syars, your hearts in thr right place.(smile)

Beautiful and relaxing. I’m pretty sure that isn’t my town. Oh wait a minute, maybe it is. Yep … you nailed it!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. It’s going to be a GREAT NEW YEAR
Beautiful lilting melody. Happy Holiday Roger.
That was fantastic ! Thanks for pointing it out.
Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.
You paint a vivid picture right from the start. “Irish Coffee and a good Cigar”. Brilliant.
Beautiful Roger!
You got me laughing. Let's hope this isn't an autobiography. Sometimes it's hard to stay on the straight and narrow.
We’ll done my friend.
You old softy …. This is beautiful.
Humans may not be good but you and Mark are good company! That was a fun afternoon.

Great motto to live by.
“Raise a glass so you live life to the full” good advice!
Beautiful Tilden! Is this the Gretsch?
Poignant lyrics wrapped in a perfect presentation. You caught me with this one. Absolutely Beautiful and thought provoking.
This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.
This is beautiful.
You old softy! This is a beautiful love song.
I like your style of playing. I play a little music with a friend who plays harp. It’s a beautiful instrument!
