Well done and topical song. Although I unfortunately think that human beings in general are far too greedy to realize their harmful behavior on our beautiful planet. Friendship. Dominique

Wait a minute... you don't post music anymore ? What the Hell ???

Roses, I love you. Love your face, love your voice, love your music. I miss you.

Humans seem to think they need to 'tame' nature, that it needs to be controlled,  and things like trees, insects, wildlife, animals are ranked on their 'usefulness' to humans, but they should not have to have a reason or purpose to exist- they should just live and be because why should their existence be measured to suit humans?
Be the person who sees all life as important, all the way from the grass you walk on, to the insects that we can't live without, to what you are eating, and the journey of how it got there.
Please think twice about what chemicals you put on your lawn just to rid so- called 'weeds', which happen to be so so beautiful if you can alter your way of thinking. My happeist times are sitting in my garden watching buzzing bees and insects flying round, I don't need to interfere in their homes, I want them to thrive. 
Most people continue doing what they do, because they've always done it. but it's a really good idea to educate yourself about the environment, its good to change your mind and see things differently, just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean they are right.

Lyrics

Pretty and pretty wild
When you leave it alone
Yellow and lilac and absolute

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Hello I am noticing you
Just being and being and being
Existence doens't need to be justified
A joy and a love not confound

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Pretty is so pretty can be wise
Dancing in all kinds of lights
Intuitive this magic never ends
You don't need to control anything

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Midisound is a bit of a genius and i fell in love with his track straight away , go over and listen to his inspiring music -https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo
LYRICS:-
"Time is not for any of us
We make it up to know that we exist
Because time is not for anyone
It's just an illusion of your mind"

As i look up today and
See the sky
And i am
Mentally trying
To Blow the clouds away
Feel the sun on my skin
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Feel the heat
Just blowing the clouds away

When the rain it comes
It washes clean
It feeds the ground
Trees and plants and flowers
Are the blessings for us now

Healing Sun
Make us as one

The Choice

PANDEMIC - Text by Flavio Pozzaglio

I walk around hide my face
From the looks and I guess who you are

Eyes that seek each other
To understand what is wrong now

I draw a circle around now I'm in my space
Nothing must invade my field
but i feel lonely and tired i live only online

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa

(Marimba only)

I draw a circle around now I'm in my space
Nothing must invade my field
but i feel lonely and tired i live only online

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa



PANDEMIA - Testo di Flavio Pozzaglio

Giro in giro nascondo il mio volto
Dagli sguardi e immagino chi sei

Occhi che si cercano
Per capire ciò che ora non va

Traccio un cerchio attorno ora sono nel mio spazio
Nulla deve invadere il mio campo 
ma mi sento solo e stanco vivo solo on-line

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

(Solo Marimba)

Traccio un cerchio attorno ora sono nel mio spazio
Nulla deve invadere il mio campo 
ma mi sento solo e stanco vivo solo on-line

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

You may be wondering how this song acquired the title it did.  These very words were actually said to me by one of my wife Jo's three long-standing and very close friends.  Over the years, they had all entered into long-term partnerships which, for differing reasons, ended very sadly, resulting in them being left on their own.  So I was, in a manner of speaking, last man standing.

When they needed a male presence, I was volunteered to help in a variety of ways, e.g. being a pretend boyfriend when one of them was being pestered by someone in whom they were not interested.  There are many more instances I could recount, some of which were definitely in the ‘very unusual’ category but I was always happy to be of help if I possibly could.  Besides which, they often turned out to be exceedingly amusing.

Fast forward a few years to when I was diagnosed with MS, which brought about a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia, causing pain the like of which I’d not known before.  After a spell taking hefty painkilling drugs that basically turned me into a kind of zombie, my MS specialist suggested ‘Gamma Knife Procedure’.  

This involves (and I kid you not) a metal helmet being screwed directly into your skull at four strategic points, rendering your head totally immobile so that radioactive rays can, with pinpoint accuracy, be fired at your Trigeminal Nerve.  It is indeed a singular sensation to feel blood trickling down your face as said helmet is fixed into place but the benefits that ensued were more than worth the temporary inconvenience.  I was pretty much pain-free for the next two years, after which it did return but all things considered, was extremely pleased with the result.

To celebrate, a dinner party was thrown in my honour, a splendid time guaranteed for all.  It was here that Jo’s friend, whose husband had sadly died, uttered the immortal phrase.  It caused much laughter, as it rightly should have.  I wasn’t in the least offended and, anyway, my very first thought was “What a great title for a song”.

Once again, deep thanks are due to Hans for not only producing two brilliant versions of this song but videos to go with each (links above).  The man has a depth of talent of which others can only dream, myself included.  Thanks so much for listening.  (Terry Reeves)

I was invited to a party
I tingled with the chance
To talk about the future
Step in and out of the past
Who’s that man in the corner?
Wearing a helmet on his head?
This is just my day wear
The gamma ray gun Doctor said
(I heard someone say)

Why ain't you not dead yet?
Why are you still here?
Why are you the only man?
Who smiles and has no fear?

We talked about the weather
And laughed about the grass
The world is tasting plastic
And it doesn't seem to last
Who's that man in the corner? 
With the radiation smile
The glow won't last for ever
Why not enjoy it for a while?
(I heard someone say)

Why ain't you not dead yet?
Why are you still here?
Why are you the only man?
Who has ten layers of veneer? 

We shared some special moments
And showed the battle scars
A pigment of growing older
Figments hidden in a jar
Who's that man in the corner? 
Four holes drilled into his head
Tried to screw me to the wall
Keep me standing and out of bed
(I heard someone say)

Why ain't you not dead yet?
Why are you still here?
Why are you the only man?
Who we seem to volunteer?

Why ain't you not dead yet?
Why are you still here?
Why are you the only man?
Who floats in this atmosphere?

Why ain’t you not dead yet?
I may not be really here
If my name gets mentioned 
I want a smile and not a tear

Keep smiling, I want to smile
Keep smiling, Give me a smile
I want to smile, I want to smile
Yeah, smile...

New Wonder

Eyes on the prize and the latest lies …. he said
Lead us on to the bridge of highs…. he said
Milk and honey, follow the money … …he said
Giving up the ghost of the Sunday roast… … he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

Offering the lamb for the latest scam…he said
And it came to pass, following the ass…he said
Disciples scream as he’s selling the dream…he said
Playing the clown as the people drown…he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

On your side with the mockery of pride… he said
Believe in me and the land of the free… he said
Onward Faustian soldiers march… he said
In the theatre absurd, he doesn’t mean a word he said

Fool Britannia, selling off the waves
Fool Britannia, selling off the waves

Selling The Dream (by C÷M )

In 1959 Candi and I went to kindergarden in the same class. We lived three blocks from each other. We graduated from highschool in the same class. There were other kids in that class that I graduated with. Families didn't move much like they do today. Candi went on to become a fabulous painter and still lives in the house she grew up in, while I can't count how many times I moved. I found out recently she isn't feeling good and is having a hard time. So I do what I do and I record music. Everyone should have their own music.

It's always an honor to have Debra Buesking ask if she could join me on a previously released song.  My answer goes along the lines of; "well duh, of course":) What a delight she makes of my tribute to the semi-annual time change, in this case "falling back" from Daylight Savings Time.  It also corresponds with southerly migrations of species from birds to butterflies.  We're staying put, however, with snow shovels and ice scrapers at the ready:) Hear more of Debbie's wonderful music @debra_buesking.

Il suffit d'une seconde
Un hasard
Pour voir le monde moins noir
Sur le bateau ivre
J'ai croisé son regard
Brillant dans la nuit
Semblant me dire: oh toi...
Tu vas te noyer dans mes yeux face à face
Tu remonteras pas à la surface

Puis elle a plongé dans l'onde
En un éclair
Et j'ai avalé la mer
A tenter à la nage
De suivre ma sirène
Pour finir hors d’haleine
Echoué sur la plage
On se reverra en haut lieu face à face
Quand tu seras remontée à la surface

J’ai navigué sans relâche
Pour retrouver sa trace
J’ai perdu le nord perdu la face
Parfois j’ai cru la voir
Se prendre dans la nasse
Voir nos mondes solitaires
Se rejoindre à la surface

Les souvenirs on les place
La vie entière
Dans des bouteilles à la mer
Dont les messages disent
La liberté fugace
Bien souvent les navires
Reviennent à la même place
Je me suis noyé dans ses yeux face à face
Je voulais pas rester à la surface

WHEN WILL THE DAYLIGHT COME
THERE'S NO MORE SKY LIVING INSIDE
WHEN WILL THE LIGHT COME ON
WHEN YOU GET HOME   A FLASH OF LIGHT

BUT LIFE WILL PASS US BYE
AND NEVER SAY GOODNIGHT
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE

WHICH WAY DOES THE RIVER FLOW
IT'S LOOKING REAL DRY EXCEPT WHEN I CRY
THE MOON AND THE SUN WILL RISE
AND EVERYDAY   THEY CALL YOUR NAME

A LIFE OF RIGHT AND WRONG
A NEVER ENDING SONG
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
(Break)
THE TICKING OF TIME GOES BYE
THE MEMORY LANE IS FADING AWAY
THE WAVES ARE ALL CRASHING DOWN
AND EVERYDAY HAS NO NAME

SO LIFE WILL PASS YOU BYE
THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME
NO KEY TO THE OTHERSIDE
