John dee
John Dee said he cannot see
 through the fog of history
 one Kingdom rises and one will fall 
one will conquer and rule
oh  too cloudy the crystal ball
 my vision to restricted and small                       
 one will command the wind and sea 
and one will wear the laurels of victory

you're not happy
you never were  free
where ever you are going 
that's where you ought to be 
where ever you stop 
you don't belong 
your weak and can never  be strong 
and never cross the Rubicon

There is an angel at mon's
The sea is as flat as a millpond
let the boy earn his spurs
just empty hollow words
and the lion and the unicorn
have just crossed the Rubicon 

 Caesar has gone with me
and crossed the Rubicon

John Dee

Dedicated to the memory of a dear friend whose “heart was a valley deep” and “mind was a mountain steep.”  There are many references in this song to the play “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett, which I directed in the 90’s. In that production my friend embodied the character of Estragon perfectly and taught the world something through his presence both on and off stage. His big heart, intelligence, and laughter forever lives my heart and the hearts of many.

This piece was created during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Guitar music composed and performed by Bryan McDaniel.

Mountain Among All Men

  This was the first Original song and music i made in Garageband, when I got my home studio..   😊                  lyrics:                                                   i didnt want to see you go,  but you was acting like a stone .. So i just had to make a choice, and listen to my inner voice..              i didnt know how to survive,  and i really had to dive.. down in the ocean of clouds.. but in the end i will feel proud. .                                I took a step into my dreams,  try to understand what they means.. i held my breath and count  to ten, searching for myself again..                                  i'll spread my wings out to fly, looking down from the sky. and while i watched you walked away, i smiled and let the pain fade..                                            Dont be afraid to live alone, you are stronger than you know..   Just keep your head up and be proud,  raise your voice and be loud .                                            the future lies there for your feet,  walk the steps in your own street.. Bevare you always have a choice,  Just listen to your inner voice..                                               

Your inner voice       (Original)

An auditory daydream about free spirited music composition and going with the flow, which is what I tend to do, and a love letter to dream pop.

Lyrics:

Listening for silence...
Making sure it's there
What I'll be recording
I'm not yet aware

A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind
A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind
A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind
A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind

Just the other day,
I heard myself say
"No it's okay"
"I'll find my own way out
"Of this self created maze"
But I needed your help

A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind
A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind

Listening for silence...
Making sure it's there
What I'll be recording
I'm not yet aware

An ever-changing outlook on life,
Now it looks bright!
In spite of my fear,
I think I'll conquer it this year

Now that I've found out
My passion is to entertain
I'll try to achieve far greater things
With these chords and melodies
Now that I've found out
My passion is to entertain
I'll try to achieve far greater things
With these chords and melodies

An ever-changing outlook on life,
Now it looks bright!
In spite of my fear,
I think I'll conquer it this year

A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind
A welcome reverie
To somewhere deep 
Inside my mind

Just the other day,
I heard myself say
"No it's okay"
"I'll find my own way out
"Of this self created maze"
But I needed your help

You gave me some good advice
Of how to wake up and act,
How to wake up and act,
How to wake up and act
And I thank you for that
Thank you for that

Thank you for that
And I thank you for that
Thank you for that
Thank you for that!

Drifting Thru (a welcome reverie) - Instrumental

https://youtu.be/3fHo4B1x_BY

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Looking Up & Down

This washed out, midweek morning (RCD MASTER)

'Reverse Osmosis' A Jazz Fusion track inspired by the process of cleaning up water, bringing it to a state of "purity" and allowing it to be drunk in safety. And so it is with a composition and recording. The production being the "Reverse Osmosis" bringing the recorded piece to a state of listening "safety". Which hopefully is a healthy experience for the 'consumer' of both.

Having been born in the 1950s and then being a child and teenager of the potentially optimistic 1960s it has been monumentally depressing to see the outbreak of hostilities in Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall and ensuing disintegration of the Soviet Union certainly gave rise to the now mistaken assumption that the Cold War really was coming to an end.  Perhaps we didn’t focus as closely as we should on the bigger picture... 

It probably hasn’t escaped your attention that to a large extent, the world would appear to be on something of a downward curve. The rich get richer, the poor and powerless are simply ground into the dust, merely collateral damage to an insatiable hunger for power.  I could write an extensive list of exactly where this is happening alongside those I believe to be responsible and do not for a moment doubt that you, dear reader, could do the same.  But why say what others have more eloquently said already?  Only a complete and utter fool would even try. 

Not so long ago, I was playing a few of my favourite Beatles’ tunes and as these things have a habit of doing, a melody somehow manifested itself out of nowhere.  Before long, I found myself singing the words "Not Back in the USSR", which seemed to fit rather nicely.  Until that point, I'd had no intention of writing a song about the war in Ukraine at all.  Nonetheless, that is precisely what I did. 

Of course, I blame Hans & Gal for taking my inoffensive little protest song and turning it into the Heavy Rock anthem presented to you here. Honest guv’nor, it's nothing to do with me.  
With love to you all, 
Terry Reeves

A dictator from the Soviet Union 
Head way back in the USSR
Groomed by Kremlin to be cold
Can’t believe how unlucky you are

War a crime, without a question 
Killing people never has a right
Prefer dictatorship to democracy 
A single thought, one single swipe 

Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday?
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are…..boy

No battle will ever stop a tyrant
Increasing lies to a single mind
One way to remove a madman 
Persuade blind not to follow the blind

Thousands of missiles kill the living 
Destruction of a joined up past 
No corridor exit to help survival 
Reduce Ukrainians so very fast

Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday? 
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are……..girl

Kremlin closing every single door
No friendships for one hundred years or more

No winning a war of destruction 
Your isolation will eventually find
History remembers unlawful killers
A true reflection of dictator's mind

Destroying chance to understand 
Killing life with no second thought
The Kremlin must face investigation 
A vast creation of lies to all, in short
 
Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday? 
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are
Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are...

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETIMES IN YOUR LIFE
YOU'RE TAKEN AWAY FORGETTING TIME
YOUR FEELING ALIVE OR IN THE CLOUDS
WE ALWAYS NEED SOMETIME TO YOURSELF

CAN'T EVER SEE YOURSELF GETTING OLD
ONE DAY IN SCHOOL THEN FEELING RETIRED
YOU'RE HEARING A SOUND, REMEMBER SOME TIME
WE SING A SONG SOMETIMES TO YOURSELF

(chorus 1)
WHEN A FAVORITE SONG COMES TRUE
WHEN IT TOOK THIS WORLD APART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS
WHEN MY TIMELINE CHANGED WITH YOU

WE CELEBRATE EVERY YEAR OF OUR LIVES
FORGETTING TIME AS THE MUSIC GO'S BYE
THE DAYS WILL COME AND LEAVE US BEHIND
AS FAST AS LIGHT YOU COULD BE BY YOURSELF

(chorus 2)
WHEN A LOVE SONG RUNS FROM YOU
YOU CAN CHANGE THAT LONELY HEART
AND IT TAKES ME BACK TO YOU
CAUSE THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS
WHEN MY TIMELINE CHANGED WITH YOU
