The Upload

Written by Terry Reeves

Watching my brother Bri living out the last few months of his life was probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do.  We had been told that there was no cure for his illness and that, at some point, the inevitable would happen.  But right up until the final few days, he refused to accept this, believing that, somewhere out there, there was some magical remedy he would find to take it all away.  He consulted with so many ‘alternative’ therapists, who all promised their brand of snake oil would deliver him from all that ailed him.  These were always both expensive and totally useless.  

A few weeks before he died, I was sitting by his hospital bed when he actually asked me, “Do You Believe In Magic?”  Knowing what I knew, what possible answer could I give?  Bri already knew the answer too but, all the same, I wished I could have given a convincing and unequivocal ‘yes’.  Difficult though it undoubtedly was, I had to reply that I didn’t but wanting to support him as best I could, told him I believed in him and would always love him 

There is nothing worse than watching someone in their final moments, particularly when they have been such an essential part of your life.  As you get older, facing this scenario becomes unavoidable and though age provides a better understanding of the fact, it never reduces the pain.  Both Gal and I faced similar bedside questions from Bri and this song tries to reflect those onerous, interminable times when one has to be both supportive and honest all at the same time.   

What can you say about Hans that hasn’t already been said?  When I sent him the demo of this song I did wonder if the subject matter may prove difficult.  But his  incredible ability to manifest every emotional nuance in his arrangements is something that always inspires and impresses, as demonstrated so beautifully here.  (Terry Reeves)

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in changing world?
Do you believe it's tragic?
Do you believe there's more to be told? 

Casting spells with waving hands
Praying thoughts with pagan strands
Making deals with Devil's soul
Sharing fears for spirit parole
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in immortal thoughts?
Do you believe in metric?
Do you believe in nine times nought? 

Tribal dancing, releasing curse
Tantric thinking, avoid the worse
Watching stars for future needs
Not drinking tea but reading leaves
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in sacrifice? 
Do you believe in panic?
Do you believe in rolling dice?

Chanting mantras one more day
Reiki heat takes pain away
Resurrection not in the plan
Wooden cross protect the man
No, no

Do you believe in magic?
Do you believe in searching prayer?
Do you believe in medics?
Do you believe in going nowhere? 

Holding bible in folded arms
Writing words, performing psalms
Chasing shadows, finding light
Avoid the truth, increase the fight
(Repeat verse)

No, no

Do you believe in magic? (Repeat until end)

Salsa Halloween
As funny as it seems
And spooky as a dream

And it's part of the game again
Oh yeah

This is the opening track of my newest release "Channel to Change" due out in the middle of January on music platforms. As always, thanks for your support. 

Lyrics
Decent wage it never rang, rings around your head
Wisdom glossed and lustful drops left holding up the bed
Rings and magic for little Rosey
Pockets full of Posies

All fall down
All fall down

Always tried to make the contact
Reflected in the mirrors of days
Dancing graceless in the vein
Shameless in its game
 While the scores for more
And tempted taste texted me in a haze.
More than that a mysterious cat
Came by to stake its claim

All fall down
All fall down

Down to this I knew it would be
sedated in a trance
Nestled soft like mama’s milk and tender 
With a glance
 Side step problems
And their Goblins
To laugh it up at the dance. 
 Measured thought and pillow talk
Makes room for romance.  

Reveler of Days
Reveler of Days 

Decent wage it never rang, rings around your head
Wisdom glossed and lustful drops left holding up the bed
Rings and magic for little Rosey
Pockets full of Posies
Rings and magic for little Rosey
Pockets full of Posies

All fall down
All fall sown

All Fall Down

Where is our freedom?

FREEDOM IN MY MIND

Standup to be counted
Upload trust and download love
Air is full of songs
But no one is there to sing with
Life isn´t casual
You are the chance

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal of life
And people come and go
Just scrolling roles with no goals
The cost of freedom is in the air
Let's try to sing a song together
Dices rolling and we keep prowling
But don´t forget to give a smile!

Freedom is in my mind
Ain´t got dues with time, baby
Ain´t got dues with time!

Freedom is in our minds 
We ain´t got dues with time
No dues with time!
No dues with time!
We´re free
We got freedom in our mind!

Happiness is a state of mind
Freedom is a goal to live
So standup to be counted!
Upload trust and download love!
The cost of freedom is in the air
So let's sing this song together
While dices roll and we prowl again

Freedom is in mind minds
We ain´t got dues with time, baby
No dues with time, no dues with time, no dues with time 
We are free !

THE MAGIC FOX

Background

This is my take on an old traditional song. The earliest reference I've discovered is around 1847.  It supposedly had other titles 'The Grinders' and 'The Saddle on the Right Horse'  

It is a vivid description of the lot of Sheffield Grinders, working and often dying early in life due to their trade. The 'Grinding Hull's' mentioned in the lyrics were grim places, full of particles of metal and dust from the grinding wheels. Historical evidence suggests boys were often apprenticed from nine to twelve years of age.

Through my working career I was employed in the Steel Industry engaged in scientistic work and environmental research, quite a bit of it related to occupational health problems, So it is no surprise to me and very fitting that I wanted to get this song recorded. As a Sheffield lad born and bred it connects for me I guess. 

Apparently a version of this traditional song was recorded by 'The Ian Campbell Group' in 1972 and the band 'Afterhours' from their eponymous cassette only album from 1988. After hearing the 'Afterhours' 1988 version, I decided to work up a DADGAD guitar arrangement of my own.  Here is the result.
---------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation and Arrangement

I wanted a simple arrangement for this song as really it's all about the lyrics and overall message. I used a DADGAD guitar tuning and aimed for a strum pattern that hopefully reflects the cyclical rhythmic quality of the grindstones in use.

After the main vocals was recorded I decided a bit of backing vocals would add a bit of extra spice to the overall song. Sometimes voice and guitar is all you really need. :-)

The Sheffield Grinder (Lyrics around 1847)
**( with small revisions for this version)
(Photograph taken from the Illustrated London News 1866)

The Sheffield grinder's a terrible blade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
'Fore he sets his little 'uns down to trade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
He sets ‘em all down to grind in the hull,
Till their bodies are stunted and their eyes are dull,
And their brains are all dizzy and dazed in their skulls.
Tally ho, the grinder!

He shortens his life and he hastens his death.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he’ll drink steel dust with every breath.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he won't wash his hands ‘ere he eats a meal
And he won’t wear a mask as he grinds at his wheel
And he’ll die as he’s lived, as hard as cold steel.
Tally ho, the grinder!

(Instrumental)

The Sheffield grinders of whom we do speak.
Tally ho, the grinder!
Well they’re men who’ll earn just one pound a week.
Tally ho, the grinder!
But of Sheffield grinders another sort
Methinks ought to be called to court,
Aye, and that’s the grinding Government Board.
Tally ho, the grinder!

At whose door lies the blacker blame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Oh where lies the heavier weight of shame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Is it the famine-price contractor's head,
Or on the workman who’s under-fed,
And who grinds his own bones and his children’s for bread?
Tally ho, the grinder!

DREAM WITH ME - (LP Version) | Music by Karin-Maria Brunner | Muisc & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe]

i hear these voices in my head
i ain't tryin' to quiet them no more
i just give into them
there is no making sense of it
you just gotta go with it now
and Lady Luck may lead you to your destination now
it's only motion down below
you look above and see a million stars
it's hard to tell which way is up down in a hemisphere... 
don't you know where you're going boy
it seems that you have been a long time comin' to this place now
it seems so far but it seems so close
it's drawn me into the air
so hold on tight you never know
where you may know
