This is the unfortunate end to the other song, 'When 1 Of Us Is Hurting' about a friend and his wife as they battled her cancer. I wrote this lyric the day after she died.
When One Of Us Is Hurting When One Of Us Is Hurting
Written for a cyber bud and his wife who are facing sudden illness.
Your Own Life Your Own Life
Hey, no matter how bad life can get, don't turn to methods of escape. Drugs and such are NOT the solution!
Break Thru Break Thru
Wrote the lyric 18 years ago and just put it to music. This is probably the best merging of my power-chord youth and U2 college days.

My name is Glen Giles, and this is a mid-life crisis project. You remember when you were young and in bands and had dreams of rocking the world? Then college, wife, kids, house, cars, etc., and then one day you realize the real you really is a musican, but no one knows it, not even your family? So, get some gear together, start recording, put together a cd, and show them, and the world that follically challenged guys can still sound like the long haired dudes of yesterday!Band/artist history
Well, I've been in a variety of bands, but the only one that made a speed bump of an impact in the entertainment capital of the world, Columbus, GA, was Phantom. The photo is from a 20 year old Phantom publicity shot that I cropped and added some grafitti. After being completely out of music for almost 20 years, I've been back in now for about a year.Have you performed in front of an audience?I NEVER play live, 'cause it's just me. Maybe I'll do an acoustic thing at an open mic thing sometime, if I write a good enough song.
Your musical influences
Just about anyone who played a loud guitar. KISS got me to first pick up a guitar, but I really like heavier, bluesier Rock stuff, although I don't sing that style well. So what I enjoy playing, I can't really sing, so I'm sort of 'working' on a style!What equipment do you use?
Carvin Bolt-T, Carvin DC150, Kramer Baretta w/Floyd Rose, Dean Edge 1 bass, Washburn D-28, Johnson J-Station, M-Audio Omni Studio, MXL-V67 condensor mic, Sony ECM-330 mic, record into acidmusic 3.0, and am just starting to mess around with Sound Forge.Anything else?

Cool songs, sounds like yer havin a blast (literally!)
Really like your stuff! I gave it all Hot votes. I can totally relate with you, I'm 43 now and after staring at my guitars for the last 20 years or so, decided to give it a go again. Are you recording at home?
Check my stuff out and let me know what you think.
Hey, did you tell me to hire a real singer in a review on broadjam too?
Music is good but hire a real singer....sorry just being truly honest....
