You've outdone yourself with this one Robert....just great.

気怠く車を走らせる
流れてくる景色は
少しずつ白くなる

誰もかも
外には無関心で
静かに時が経つのを
ただ待つだけ
ただ待つだけ

ここは皆が思うほど
良い所じゃない

黒い翼は
瞬く間に
遥か彼方へ

狭間の地

Lord Kitchener, the calypso king, arrived at Tilbury docks 21 June 1948, on the Windrush. https://youtu.be/Zlv4dkS-s8w

Despite living and working in the UK for decades, many of the Windrush generation's children were told they were there illegally because of a lack of official paperwork. The scandal, which broke in April 2018, saw the UK government belatedly apologise for deportation threats made.

Footnote: I purchased my first guitar, an Epiphone studio dot and a small fender amp and I decided to add to this track having looked up the three chords, blushin' at my audacity!

True Love is Joy!

I Sing All My
Love Songs For You


I sing all my love songs for you.
A thank you for all that you do.
A love that has carried me right on through.

Girl, without you what would I be?
No future that I want to see.
No joy would've happened at all for me.

Yes it's true.
You swept through my heart like a storm.
I never felt cold only warm.
You gave my life purpose and gave it form.

Even now
Each day is the best that I've had.
Tomorrow more blessings we'll add.
You make my heart truly feel glad.

Only you!

I sing all my love songs for you!

Baby please
Open your eyes to what's true.
A family that started with you!
The beautiful portrait we drew.


It is true

Where we go,
only the heavens can know
But this started so long ago
and still in this river we'll flow
till it ends.

I love you so.
The rest of my life I will show.
These feelings in me only grow.
As you and I always did know
real love.

Real love!
The kind that can never be tamed.
Emotions impossibly named.
As decades have surely proclaimed
to this day.

I sing all my love songs for you.

I thank you for all that you do.

Your love that will carry me right on through.

I sing all my love songs for you!

Original Song 
Lyrics
There's a faded picture hanging on my wall just like it did in my parent’s house before
As a child, the faces called from it so fearlessly their colors vibrant and true
Oh but time takes its toll even colors grow old
But their fearlessness still comes shining through

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Don’t surrender to the doubts that come in the night and say you have no more gifts to give
What you have is far more beautiful than you know even though touched by years
Cos dreams dulled by light can still be called on to shine
to yield the promise of why we’re here

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Let’s light as many fires as we can 
So we can warm as many hands as we are able

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Faded Glory

I don’t believe in luck but I do feel very privileged to have two angels looking after me. My wife Jo and my daughter Charlotte have saved my life on three occasions keeping me alive until the ambulance arrived. I have been told that without their interventions I would not have survived.

Both have chosen not to believe in any God or indeed any outside power that can change our lives.  There may be many of you who disagree but these are the choices we make - each of us believes what we feel is best for us.  If a belief in a higher being helps give anyone’s life more meaning and guides them through each day, we have no argument with that at all.   

I think of Jo and Charlotte as my Atheist Angels.  The care they have given me during these close-to-death experiences shows what beautiful souls they are, always there for me at the time of greatest need.   

On every occasion, there were times when I truly thought that I was drawing my last breath, my existence disappearing as they fought to save me and all I could think of at the time was that, barring my brother Gal, all of my closest male antecedents died when they were just 63.  I was the same age during these episodes and I really didn’t want my name added to the sequence.  My Atheist Angels made sure that it wasn't.

Now I am 67, a proud grandfather, still around to enjoy the experience of watching my family thrive and grow.  There is another grandchild on the way later on this year and the more time I can spend with the love of my life Jo, the better and although my illness is not exactly how I planned things, I still try to enjoy every extra moment.

The continuation of ‘Cripple Club’ with Gal and Hans has been another unexpected bonus and we plan to keep going as long as we can. Here’s to the next song - I do hope you enjoy this one.   (Terry Reeves)

The whisper of a distance voice
Two angels arriving single choice
Keep breathing slow not too much
Your not leaving just stay in touch 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

A feeling of desperate final breath
Lonely moment no time to caress 
Fighting every 63rd dying thought
Surviving each gulp of air caught 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

Has time arrived to lay down still
Not accepted by two who really feel
More than one chance to live again
The Angels alongside helping pain

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes l’m floating floating away

Fight to avoid final thought of death
A fading light continues to suggest
Only time decides what, when and how
My Atheist Angels this time will not allow

I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating 
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating,
Floating to stay……………………..cont

IL TE MANQUE LA MER
OUI MAIS TU AS L’AMOUR
IL TE MANQUE TA TERRE
OUI MAIS REGARDE AUTOUR
TU AS L’HOMME QUI T’AIME ET LA MÉLANCOLIE
SE DISSOUT D’ELLE MÊME SI ON LA VOIT JOLIE
MOI AUSSI MON PAYS
ME MANQUE BIEN SOUVENT MAIS L’AMOUR MOI AUSSI EN EMPORTE LE VENT AUTANT
TU VOUDRAIS REPARTIR MAIS TU AIMES RESTER LE PRÉSENT L’AVENIR EMMÊLÉS AU PASSÉ
UNE LARME UN SOURIRE UNE VAGUE UN REGRET ET LE MOT POUR LES DIRE JE SAIS QUE TU LE SAIS MOI AUSSI NEGUINHA PARTAGÉ ENTRE ICI MAINTENANT ET LÀ-BAS HIER ET AUJOURD’HUI SAUDADE
IL TE MANQUE RIO
LE SOLEIL EN HIVER MAIS TU AS PETERZINHO
A BRAS ET CŒUR OUVERTS TU VOUDRAIS REPARTIR MAIS TU AIMES RESTER
LE PRÉSENT L’AVENIR EMMÊLÉS AU PASSÉ
IL TE MANQUE LA MER
OUI MAIS TU AS L’AMOUR
IL TE MANQUE TA TERRE
OUI MAIS REGARDE AUTOUR

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the fish, marine mammals and crustaceans sound library used to compose this piece.

There’s a whole lot of talking going on beneath the waves.  A new study suggests that sound communication in fish goes back at least 155 million years. Although fish have developed hearing similar to other vertebrates, the way they make sounds to communicate to other fish is distinctive. Many fish use swim bladder vibrations to make noise or may vibrate other muscles or parts of the body, while others can snap their tendons, move their jaws, or otherwise rub skeletal parts to produce sounds.  What are the fish talking about? Fish are either trying to attract a mate, defend a food source or territory, or let others know where they are. Even some of the common names for fish are based on the sounds they make, such as grunts, croakers, hog fish, squeaking catfish and trumpeters. 

For clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, marimba, fish, marine mammals and crustaceans recordings, virtual instruments and percussion.
