Mystery Songs

[sodascouts]

I was just looking at Glenn's songwriter credits on the Hall of Fame page, and there were some songs I didn't recognize. They were the following:

----------

I know that Max Gronenthal is Max Carl. I assume "Let's Get Harry" was for the film of the same name, "Bobby Bluesman" was for Wiseguy, and "Grand Canyon" was for Expedition Earth. As for the rest, maybe these were songs that were registered, but never released?

That's an interesting list. It would be intriguing to know if any of them were released. What is also interesting is that four songs and the Grand Canyon soundtrack are credited to Glenn alone. When I looked at No Fun Aloud, it struck me that All Those Lies is the only song of all his published solo work that doesn't have a co-writer. Agua Tranquillo is the only other track I can see.

I would love to hear Get Up Kate lol!

lol! I thought of you when I saw that title, Kate!

There are a few more that he wrote by himself that aren't from his solo career. Those are Run Boy Run and Rebecca from Longbranch Pennywhistle, and Chug All Night and Most of Us Are Sad from the first Eagles album. After that, he and Don Henley began writing together in earnest, and it seems that Glenn never really wanted to go back to writing alone. Hence we have only two songs - one of which is a 1-minute instrumental - written solely by him. Then, recently, we have No More Cloudy Days, which I believe he also wrote without collaborators. It will be interesting to see if he comes full circle with the new album.

Man, I sure wish I could have seen that millennium film! What was it like?

I don't know if the first song listed might be 'Ain't It Love'. I suspect those others might be from Max Carl's album.

[sodascouts]

"Ain't It Love" is listed separately from "Ain't No Love," and I've checked Max Carl's albums and didn't find the above. However, it's possible I somehow missed one.

[Freypower]

Good grief. Fancy writing two songs with almost identical titles.

[sodascouts]

Well, maybe he wrote them years apart or something! Besides, if one isn't released, it doesn't count, right? lol

That Millenium concert music list looks amazing. Was any of it ever released? I've listened to the main theme from your site, Nancy, and gives a tantalising glimpse of what the rest might be like.
