Cover art picture is of Mum & Brian, taken in 1949.

My Mum requested that, at her funeral(today, 16 January 2022, being the third anniversary), our sisterJayne and her children made arrangements to cover her coffin in pink roses as a sign to everybody that we should celebrate her life and not mourn her death.  They found a casket with a pink rose design too, which would have pleased her even more.  She wanted to be remembered for the good times she had with her family and many close friends.  Mum enjoyed parties and celebrations a great deal.

In writing the song, I wanted to represent all the important parts of Mum's life to help us to remember what an incredibly generous person she was,  always there to help those who needed some extra love and attention.  We grew up in a house that was somewhere our friends and neighbours could always turn to if they needed help. Throughout our lives it wasn't at all unusual to wake up in the morning to find someone who needed refuge asleep on the sofa.  Neighbours' children would join us for meals on a regular basis and Mum made sure there was always plenty to go round..

At the funeral itself, as the chorus explains, I felt so uncomfortably exposed, standing at the front with all eyes seemingly looking at me, gauging every reaction. I think Jayne and Gal felt much the same if truth be told.  Even with my wife and children there to support me, it was one of those moments in life I don't think any of us ever really wants to face. 

We will certainly never forget our wonderful Mum and all the things she did for us.  She always made special times just a bit more special, going that extra mile so that the memories would last a lifetime.

I felt it was particularly important to write this song for my sister, who was the main carer for my Mum in the latter years of her life and dealt with all the difficulties with so much love, care and strength.  This song is for you Jayne, with all our love. 

As always, we give our heartfelt thanks to Hans for producing an arrangement so in keeping with the spirit of the song and the occasion it marks.
Thank you everyone for all your support.  (Terry Reeves)

One thousand pink Roses to light the flame
One thousand reasons making you live again
One thousand regrets as we all stand still 
One thought of sadness makes this moment so real.

I don’t wanna be here for all to see   X2

Five hundred stories to make you live again
Five hundred dresses in a beautiful frame
Five hundred presents for your many friends
One single moment, our love will never end

I don’t wanna be here for all to see. X2

One hundred whispers hiding words of truth
One hundred wishes turning magic loose 
One hundred kisses for children who sing
Only one person could make hearts ring

I don't wanna be here for all to see.     X4

Only one mother helps grow with a laugh
Only one mother puts smiles in every photograph
Only one mother gives when others take
Our family love you never stopped trying to make 

I will always be here for you and me
I will always be here for you and me...
I will always be
Here for you

A Winter's Waltz

Too many dancers
have left the hall
Out in the cold
where snow falls down
The night flies by so quickly
you could blink and never see it,
again...

Up in the sky
a pale moonlight
All of this war
just feels insane.
City burns, life cut short
without sense or purpose
I want to hear 
a winter's Waltz

All of them dreams
and hope for future plans
May still come to pass
As long as this train can reach Berlin,
As the eastern front is almost reaching Paris
again

I see you think
the tide has passed
the ship has sailed,
 on a transient wave
 lighthouse signals fast
  you could blink and never see it
but it comes around again

Too many roads have turned to ice
and promisses unmasked as lies
 a hellish cold is coming
you could freeze and never know it

So play me a waltz
"Muse of many twinkling feet"
measure and step
In a winter's waltz again ...

A Winter's Waltz

“Inspired by own mental health, the lyrics to this track came so quickly and highlights wanting peace of mind and being free from the challenges that mental health can create - to be able to let go of it all and live life to the fullest.”

A song about mental health - “Everything”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want whats mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on, here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Hear me now
My open heart is screaming
Screaming out 
You’re in my brain that is freer now
I’m starting to believe again, in me 
in me

House Bass - Paploviante Open Collaboration

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Fire in the Breeze

A tribute to one of the greatest legends of our time.
His incomparable vocal range and incredibly outstanding songs still resonate
through the years and will always captivate our hearts.

I've sung along with this song while driving in my car on many occasions and decided why not make a recording just for fun.
