(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
I think I remember saying once, about one of your other songs, that it was the best one yet. Now I am forced to change my mind. This is really good all the way around - lyrics, melody, arrangement, instrumentation - great job Greg.
Lyrics:
After the Sun goes down
Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time
It won…

Oh it's just fab.
You've actually got me singing along on this one. Doesn't happen too often - I'm usually sat hear listening and thinking, but this one had me singing out loud.

OH WOW!!
I saw this arrive the other day but didn't have time to listen. Then I saw the reaction it was getting, so I thought, ooo he must have hit the spot with this one...
I've been saving it up for the right moment lol (7.45 am on sunny saturday at the start of two weeks off - that'll do!)
And WOW! You've definitely hit the spot. Love it.

Reminiscent of Neil Young and certainly as good a song as just about any of his. Never did like his voice though. Yours works well with this tune and instrumentation.

Best new song in ages. Love the that low Irish pipe sound. I does not remind me of anyone but Greg Connor. 5 stars

Deserts of the Higher Plane
Searches end, I had to admit
Mirages were never towns

Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow

This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall....
Humpty Dumpty's Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)
Pieces of the heavens lost
Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on

I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!
Nice song and GREAT contribution to the "Who Knew" Challenge. I enjoyed playing behind you on this.

Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.
The sentiments…
This was part of the 'who knew' song challenge, recorded live at Colleen Dillon's on 12-09-15, with Greg Connor on guitar. Love his part, didn't edit out anything, even left the comments on the beginning and end.

Excellent song Greg. As usual strong on the melody and lyrics.
Thats a fine looking tractor and a fine set of songs, here's to you, CHEERS!
Lovely song Greg - :)

Excellent ....thoroughly enjoyed......
Makes me lonesome, and stirs my wonder lust. I see visions of Walt Whitman

Is that a mandolin in the background? Oh this is wonderful!
Such a great song Greg! Love the addition of the whistle and the flute sounding like the wind, fabulous! Lovely
Im glad to hear this music is alive and well. It reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot.
I love the minor feel...great stuff Greg...with a little electric it could remind me of early Traffic!!!!! think "40 Thousand Headmen"
Well, now that's a huge winner. I'll sign up for. This! So, real. You are a most talented man, Faved,Faved, Faved. I am listening
This is lovely x
Aw, lovely track Greg. Super stuff.
What a great song, beautiful layered "voices" and rich, clear mix. Lovely tone on all the instruments!

Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.
Nice sounding organ!
Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!
Powerful Song !!!
Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!
Still good this morning!
Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?
How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?
This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
Now Wait A Minute . . . . I know this guy! You made my day Tilden!
I WANT CHOCOLATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the symbolic message. Good storytelling John!
GREAT WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR !!! Nice collaboration from two of my favorite people.
I found this one from the past. Nice video!
Oooooh . . . That's good!
