Greg Holden - The Not My Song Series Part 2 - Michael Jackson Black Or White gdholden - 2,975 views - 1 week ago
This is a tribute to Michael Jackson and his amazing song Black Or White. Probably not a very good one but a tribute all the same. He will be missed by everyone.

Sorry if this isn't that great, I didn't really learn it I kind of just made it up as I was going along. But I love the lyrics in this song and wanted to post this as Part 2 of The Not My Song Series.

I personally want to say that to all the ****s who were so quick to call him 'Wacko Jacko' and accuse him of being a 'Kiddy-Fiddler' to stop jumping on this grieving band wagon, you can't change your minds now, stick to what you first said and quit being hypocrites. I hope you feel bad now.

Anyway, enjoy the cover guys.

Peace.

Greg Holden - Get Inside Out gdholden - 6,081 views - 1 week ago
Hey people,

This is just something I put together. It's basically highlights of my 2009 so far including footage from New York, London, my UK tour and other random bits. Behind it a demo track I recorded called 'Get Inside Out'.

This isn't an official video, just something for fun. It's to say thank you to everyone who has been supporting me over the last year, or even longer. You are all amazing people and I do not know where I would be without you.

Thank you very much, keep following me and keep telling all your friends. Oh, and if you haven't allready, add me on Facebook so I can keep you up to date with all things... here's the link:

Greg Holden - Tips & Tricks Part 2 - How To Play Bar On A gdholden - 4,465 views - 2 weeks ago
Hey Guys,

So I've had so many emails asking how to play this song, so here's how. Thanks so much for your interest.

Why don't you cover the song and maybe I could give away a prize or something for the best cover, yeah, that's what I'll do!! A prizzzzeeee....

Bar On A -

Verse - C / F / C / C / G
Chorus - Am7 / Fsus / C / G
Pre-Verse - C / Am / G / F

That should do it!

Its nobodys fault, I did this myself
I paid for last night with a weeks worth of wealth
It seemed at the time that it was worth what it cost
But my head hurts remembering the memories I lost

They said if I came here with my English charm
That by the end of each night Id have one on each arm
Yes the girls bought me drinks and tempted me in
But then sent me home spinning and lonely again

It makes no difference what City Im in
The drinks cost the same and they do the same thing
I know it wont stop till I start up again
But Ive got no intention of getting up out of this bed

In my experience the memories come back
The good times remain and the headaches they pass
I made some music and I made some friends
But I dont wanna feel this way ever again

It makes no difference what City Im in
The drinks cost the same and they do the same thing
I know it wont stop till I start up again
But Ive got no intention of getting up out of this bed

Greg Holden- The Living Room Series Part 1 gdholden - 23,347 views - 1 year ago
The Living Room Series. Part 1.

As requested by you sexy people, here are the lyrics to this song...

How long will it take you
To finish all your plans
Will I be included
Will you understand
When I ask you everyday
Would you please let me stay
One more day with you

I know we need our choices
To choose the things we need
But it feels a bit dramatic
To do what we've agreed
Can we not just settle down
Keep our feet here on the ground
And help eachother through the day

The days are moving so fast
That I can hardly keep afloat
The days are moving so fast
That I can only let you go

Time is on our side now
We're not yet getting old
I can see the point you're making
But so far I'm just not sold
So let the clocks turn to wrinkles
Let our future turn to gold
And I'll try and prove my point to you again

Greg Holden- The Living Room Series Part 2 gdholden - 15,219 views - 1 year ago
Thank you SOOO for everyones support for Part 1. It really does mean more than you can know. Here is Part 2 (+ Lyrics as some of you asked for that in the last song).

www.myspace.com/gregholden

Lyrics-

Ive been watching the waves
Looking for the places that I could escape
I feel the stones on my bones
Inspiring my to stand up and leave this alone

So I catch myself the next dream I see
But as usual I don't get a seat
My feelings expand
As the wind on my hand teases me

I've been trying to understand
Desparately turning the clocks with my hand
It's a far from easy ask
Speeding up my future to forget about my past

Im watching with envious eyes
My ambition still dressed in disguise
The wind is still blowing
But still I'm not knowing what confuses me

Daytime Dreaming
It helps my seeing
Daytime Dreaming needs to see

So I breathe out my every last breath
I ask myself quick
Do I get it yet?

I've been staring in the dark
But the lack of direction just pulls me apart
I hear a go on the right
But a stop on my left
Puts a thorn in my side

I blame the men on my shoulders
But without them its hopeless
I choices but Im choiceless

Daytime Dreaming
It helps my seeing
Daytime Dreaming needs to see

Cheers guys!

Greg Holden- The Living Room Series Part 3 gdholden - 10,053 views - 1 year ago
Thanks again for your support guys, I love you! I've been in the studio this week recording Part 1, 2 and 3 of 'The Living Series' for you all. So keep checking my MySpace for those. I'll post the lyrics later as I've got to run. Check my blog for more stuff...www.gregholdenonline.c om

Ok guys, here are the lyrics...

My eyes are faking all the sights
For every page that I read
Comes another to write

My wheels are spinning out of control
And I feel like Im ready to roll
So...

I have seen all I need
To roam free within these streets
Climbing up walls that are never too tall
Feeds my soul

My words are music to your ears
For every story I tell
Comes a sequel that you must hear

I wander your pages in search of a plan
For every chapter I pass
Draws directions of where I am
And where Im going

I have seen all I need
To roam free within these streets
Climbing up walls that are never too tall
Feeds my soul

Im seeing time explaining its better lines
To me
Drawing out pages with illustrative rhymes
You'll see

And I fall down under your watchful eye

I have seen all I need
To roam free within these streets
Climbing up walls that are never too tall
Feeds my soul


Thanks guys! Keep checking back for Part 4! and get over to Myspace as I've got a new track on there!

Love you all x

Greg Holden - The Not My Living Room Series Part 15 gdholden - 6,574 views - 3 months ago
Wow I'm throwing them out there aren't I? I told you I'm going to be doing more. I always love to share stuff with you guys as soon as it's done. Why wait around if it's there right?

So if you haven't added me at the following links please please please do so, it helps us both :)

And like I said, if you're from the UK then tell me what your closest City or big town is, a good ACOUSTIC/FOLK venue (not rock because they won't put me on) and I will do my best to get in touch and try and play there. There is a two-way thing to this though, if I book there and noone show's up, it looks really bad so you have to promise to bring as many friends as possible!! Which I know you will... now I have already anticipated some responses I'm going to get to this so here's the following predicted Q&A's...

Q: Why aren't you touring the US?
A: Because touring costs a lot of money when you're not signed and right now I don't have money. As soon as that changes of course I will tour the US, I'd love to :)

Q: Come to Canada!!!!!!
A: Please read above

Q: Come to Europe!!!!!
A: I'm working on it. Really I am.. but money once again is an issue.

Q: Where can I buy your stuff!!???
A: I can't believe with all the links and stuff on my page, some people still ask that haha, you funny lot!

Q: Can I buy a hard copy of your CD?
A: Soon you will be able to, I'm setting it up right now.

Q: Come and play in Ireland!
A: I'm going to try.

Thanks guys, I just wanted to clear those up because it's not always possible to reply to everyone. I love you all and thank you!

Greg Holden - The Not My Living Room Series Part 13 gdholden - 5,378 views - 4 months ago
Hello :) and welcome to Part 13 of The Not My Living Room Series...

So this is a little more lyrical and a lot less "hitty" which is kind of what I'm going for right now. Too much pressure to write a single nowadays, so here's the opposite!

I hope you all like it. Here's the lyrics...

Inside Out -

I've never heard of bigger words in all my life
But it's not true it wasn't you who cast the light
I fell down off every wall I ever built
A gave way to every shadow shading guilt
But then I looked inside and I told inside to get out

I've never known or overthrown what someone had
I only saw what we all saw I never asked
I paid attention to the subtleties and space
I never mentioned all the miseries I faced
But then I looked inside and I told inside to get out

How many ways is there to say that I forgot
Forgot all the details and the things that I am not
I worked hard to break away from troubled times
I moved far I didn't stay to join the line
That's cos I looked inside and I told inside to get out

I never thought it would be easy to escape
But I was ready holding courage and my fate
I opened fire on all the things that scared me most
I never tired I didn't retreat from my post
I only looked inside and I told inside
I only looked inside and I told inside
You should only look inside and tell inside to get out


Thanks everyone,

One love xx

Greg Holden - The Not My Living Room Series Part 14 gdholden - 4,565 views - 3 months ago
Hey guys, I'm not going to type much because I'm falling asleep, but here's Part 14 I hope you like it. Just wanted to say if you haven't already and can spare a few quid, get over to iTunes and pick up my album. It would help me out massively. Thank you even if you can't buy it and are simply spreading the word. That's just as amazing.

Come join me on Twitter too... www.twitter.com/gregholden

Good night guys, xxx

Lyrics to Stones I Set..

Gave you away said goodbye
Left it all behind and crossed an ocean
It was when I touched land
With all these choices in hand I knew my path was chosen

But you are the only sight I see
You are the only word I speak
You are the only touch I keep
You are everything Im needing now

This doesnt mean I regret
All of the stones that I set, but my god I miss you
Yet it was my decision
To make this transition, but my god I miss you

But still you are the only sight I see
You are the only word I speak
You are the only touch I keep
You are everything Im needing now

Greg Holden - The Not My Song Series Part 1 - Maybe I'm Wrong gdholden - 6,082 views - 4 weeks ago
Hey people,

Welcome to Part 1 of 'The Not My Song Series'. This is just something I want to do to mix it up a little bit, and also to help promote friends of mine who could use the exposure, and yes every now and then I will throw something random in there too. Suggestions are MORE than welcome.

THIS DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T BE DOING MY OWN SONGS IN ANOTHER SERIES. It's just a side thing as well as that.

This song 'Maybe I'm Wrong' was written by 2 very dear friends of mine Luke White and Nate Campany. Both amazingly talented people. Luke is the singer of a band called Atomic Tom, whom this song is played by. The first time I heard the chorus of this song it broke my heart, and since then has been one of my favourite songs.. so here's my version that probably won't do it justice.

Let me tell you, the first time I played this song from start to finish is what you're seeing now. I didn't really rehearse it, although I probably should have, I am reading the lyrics from my laptop so sorry if it's rough. Just appreciate it for what it is. And check out the Atomic Tom boys and Nate Campany on the links below... Atomic Tom are currently recording their debut album which is set to blow peoples minds...

www.myspace.com/atomictom
www.myspace.com/natecampany



Maybe I'm Wrong - Atomic Tom

You opened the door, let me back in
You tell me whats wrong, its not my fault again
And now youre leaving, cause thats the last straw
The pain that youre feeling, its not worth being strong
You say Im empty, with nothing left to give, nothing left to live

And Maybe Im wrong
But I Keep holding on
To what I thought we had
And maybe Im wrong
But I am holding on
Because I want you back

So, now youre lonely, pretend nothings wrong
Youre surrounded by memories, that string you along
Disguising your purpose, to get back at me
And let me be honest, youre so good to see
but still Im empty, and were all turned around, were all turned around

TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!!!!

So I'm an unsigned artist and have been doing my Living Room Series videos since the start of 2008. Since then I've managed to build up quite a good amount of support. Each and everyone of those people supporting me I have a personal love for. None of you know how much it means to have you fighting my corner. You all amaze me.

So if you've just joined the Greg Holden Movement, the rule is, I sing you songs, and you tell everyone you know. That way I can afford to buy food so I don't die, and my music gets out into the world for everyone to enjoy and share.

I have an Album called 'A Word In Edgeways' and an EP called 'Run, Don't Walk' on iTunes, you can buy them using the links below this text. I also play gigs most of the time and you can see where and when I'm playing below too.
