Feel 04:12
VERSE 1: It’s the end I find that I keep in mind; Can I pull the chain? Free this tortured brain? In the absence of all the peace and love CHORUS: I still give a damn, give a damn, give a damn; This silence is breaking my heart. Why don’t you say it out loud or would that make it real? It’s something you can’t help but feel. VERSE 2: In the now I write when I’m stretched skin tight. Do I pull this card? Because the truth is hard. Gonna rise above, make my peace with love. CHORUS: I still give a damn, give a damn, give a damn; This silence is breaking my heart. Why don’t you say it out loud or would that make it real? It’s something you can’t help but feel. BRIDGE: In confusion she waited too long; buried her soul in the heart of this song. Gonna rise above, say my peace, make love. CHORUS: I still give a damn, give a damn, give a damn; This silence is breaking my heart. Why don’t you say it out loud or would that make it real? It’s something you can’t help but feel.

VERSE1: What are you doing here all alone? Who were you talking to on the phone? What did you do July 23rd? Does it match up to what we have heard? CHORUS: You did what you did, it can’t be denied. What is the code by which you abide? We know that you have nothing to hide cause the camera’s on. VERSE 2: Why do you draw your shades in the dark? Who were you meeting down at the park? Did you board a train at 5:22? Stay where you are- we’re coming for you. CHORUS: You did what you did, it can’t be denied. What is the code by which you abide? We know that you have nothing to hide cause the camera’s on. BRIDGE: Watch what you watch- they see what you see. Don’t leave a trace if you want to be faceless in the crowd When you’re not allowed anonymity. VERSE 3: Don’t say a word- you’ll get us all killed! The bags are all packed, the hard drive is drilled. Stay off the roads so you won’t be seen. If you get caught, don’t say where you’ve been. CHORUS: You did what you did, it can’t be denied. What is the code by which you abide? We know that you have nothing to hide cause the camera’s on. Robbie Gennet © 2017 Brown Earthling Music All Rights Reserved

Running Away 02:08
VERSE 1: Like it, rate it, penetrate it. Sell it, buy it, terrify it. CHORUS: Can’t imagine why you’re running away But you can’t keep a ghost if he don’t wanna stay. VERSE 2: Touch it, bleed it, want it, need it. Love it, hate it, always feed it. CHORUS: Can’t imagine why you’re running away But you can’t keep a ghost if he don’t wanna stay. BRIDGE: We’ve only just begun and so we rise to the setting sun. Nobody’s bound to fear if the heart and mind are clear; and the path is underfoot; and the fire you denied is still burning deep inside. VERSE 3: Will you do it? Make it through it? Can’t ignore it if you knew it. CHORUS: Can’t imagine why you’re running away But you can’t keep a ghost if he don’t wanna stay. Robbie Gennet © 2017 Brown Earthling Music

Come My Way 02:36
CHORUS: How did you come my way? Free from the cold you say Beautiful soul don't ever leave. I'd miss you so much if we fell out of touch and you can believe VERSE 1: I want the same as you; I wanna do what you do Do you want to come with me and we can be free? CHORUS: How did you come my way? Free from the cold you say Beautiful soul don't ever leave. I'd miss you so much if we fell out of touch and you can believe VERSE 2: Sent you my love in vain until the night you came To tell me your love is real; You know how I feel. CHORUS: How did you come my way? Free from the cold you say Beautiful soul don't ever leave. I'd miss you so much if we fell out of touch and you can believe BRIDGE: Beautiful eyes, what you do to me I can't believe how you got through to me sharing a wavelength, feeling the vibe, with you by my side. CHORUS: How did you come my way? Free from the cold you say Beautiful soul don't ever leave. I'd miss you so much if we fell out of touch and you can believe.

Rainbow 03:41
VERSE 1: Don't stay too far away. Don't let me stay here all alone, could have told you so. So you let me go and maybe I was wrong about you. CHORUS: Wouldn't answer on the phone and I know you heard me ringing. Couldn't catch you all alone so you could hear me singing Hey there's a pot of gold if you're looking for a rainbow to hold. VERSE 2: Love is not a game and still you play to win but that don't make you right. Should have known you were a shadow in the night. CHORUS: Wouldn't answer on the phone and I know you heard me ringing. Couldn't catch you all alone so you could hear me singing Hey there's a pot of gold if you're looking for a rainbow to hold. BRIDGE: And someone comes along to whom your heart belongs. And maybe time can finally wash away the past and let you live again at last. VERSE 1: Don't stay too far away. Don't let me stay here all alone, could have told you so. So you let me go and maybe I was wrong about you. CHORUS: Wouldn't answer on the phone and I know you heard me ringing. Couldn't catch you all alone so you could hear me singing Hey there's a pot of gold if you're looking for a rainbow to hold. CHORUS 2: Couldn't catch it all alone and that is why I'm singing. Hey there's a pot of gold if you're looking for a rainbow to hold. Robbie Gennet © 2016 Brown Earthling Music

Gleams 03:16
VERSE 1: So says the night, end hour calls, Silently daybreaker falls so deep- but never truly asleep. He just can’t remember his dreams, it seems. The pressure applied forms a diamond inside and it gleams. VERSE 2: So ends the day, cycle complete. Fear is the word on the street- resist! An open hand can’t make a fist. Don’t stop pursuing your dreams, he screams. The pressure applied forms a diamond inside and it gleams. BRIDGE: Gleams so bright just like the days the sun caught you bending its rays To paint with light, the saint at night, to prime the fight. VERSE 3: So tends the fire, they who have burned. Away from illusion they turned en masse; ten thousand feet on the grass. The future is built from your dreams- so dream! The pressure applied forms a diamond inside and it gleams.

VERSE 1: Why do you think you can tell what’s wrong? Do you think luck’s gonna help you move along? Hope only helps with the ride if you are burning inside. PRE-CHORUS: Don’t think that you have to hide what you feel- maybe nothing is real. CHORUS: In the garden, maybe Stevie sang his heart out As we lay on the grass hoping this moment won’t pass Before I tell you I’d fly across electric skies back to you. VERSE 2: Who do you think you can trust with this? How many times did you aim and surely miss? Love always helps with the ride; make sure it comes from inside. PRE-CHORUS: Don’t think that you have to hide what you feel- maybe nothing is real. CHORUS: In the garden, maybe Stevie sang his heart out As we lay on the grass hoping this moment won’t pass Before I tell you I’d fly across electric skies back to you. BRIDGE: You somehow took a chance to find that opening your shuttered mind Let sunlight in; let the cleanse begin. Cause you have to be clear and you have to be strong. Let sunlight wash away all this uncertainty; it’s killing me. VERSE 3: Why do you think you can tell what’s wrong? Do you think luck’s gonna help you move along? Hope only helps with the ride if you are burning inside. PRE-CHORUS: Don’t think that you have to hide what you feel- maybe nothing is real. CHORUS: In the garden, maybe Stevie sang his heart out As we lay on the grass hoping this moment won’t pass Before I tell you I’d fly across electric skies back to you.

about

Robbie Gennet’s music is perhaps best described as “multi-dimensional, progressive, piano-driven pop/rock.” Or, to compare his sound to well-known artists, think Father John Misty, Arcade Fire, Rush and the Killers, with Elton John-esque piano and even a string section throughout.
