"I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum.
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp did hum."
-- Bob Dylan, "Lay Down Your Weary Tune"
c. 1964
I mostly write modern hymns and worship songs for other people to do. My demo website for that is soundclick.com/bobbygilles. You can also find chord sheets, downloadable overhead transfer files, and mp3s of many of those songs by searching for my name at sharesong.org/artist_index.htm
Occasionally I write songs based on human relationships, so I thought I'd throw up a few of them here. I don't really consider myself a singer or a musician, but what the heck. As Dylan told Lennon, "It's the words, man." I hope you enjoy.
You can download tracks from Justin McRoberts' newest release Deconstruction for ANY PRICE YOU WANT. Or tell a few friends about the record and get them for FREE!
Hey Bobby, I'm doin' alright, working 3rd shift, singing in a back up choir-ish thing, a little pleasure reading, looking for what's next. What about you?
I'm your first comment. It's MySpace law that I have to point that out. Welcome.
Also, there's a great organization called Blood:Water Mission that helps with fresh water and AIDS medication in Africa. They've put one of my tunes up on their profile, so head on over to check it out. They're doing great things.
