You sure know how to write a song that gets to the heart of the listener. Great work Chris

beautiful melody and vocal. lyrics are really good...I can feel the pain and see the empty images..it is stark and effective

There is a lovely 70’s pop sheen to this song, which I really like. Great splitting of the guitar parts - the guitar melodies in the right ear accompany the vocal fantastically. Great passion too, nicely done. Liked for sure!

As a devout atheist from my early years I have consequently chosen not to believe in anything that doesn’t have a justifiable or logical explanation. The concept of luck certainly comes into that category as it seems to suggest an exterior force as it’s cause, something I simply cannot accept.

But even non-believers talk about luck being either for or against them, throwing spilled salt over their shoulders or not walking under ladders, because these have become part of everyday behaviour or  language, dictated by habit more than any sense of logic.  The terms in this song all relate to some mysterious good or bad vibe, including - and I’ve known people who actually do this - which direction in which your bed might face when you’re asleep.

Although also a devout atheist, my brother Gal is a good example of such habits, often using the term “Touch Wood” if he wants something to happen in his or our favour.  I think he inherited this from our Mum, who used to say it all the time and would go as far as trying to touch something made of wood to complete the ‘spell', not always easy in what had become an increasingly plastic age.

Despite all of the above, I think Gal must have been ‘Touching Wood’ when he first formed a friendship with Hans, because I’m still not at all sure that we deserve to be associated with someone of such proficiency, consummate talent and innate kindness.  Some may say we have been very lucky.  We have certainly been exceedingly fortunate, which is just about as far as I’m prepared to go.  Whatever your beliefs, we hope you enjoy the song.  (Terry Reeves)

I’ve stopped walking under ladders
Avoiding cracks moving like the clappers
No early birthday wishes giving all the best
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces west

Chorus:
I’m touching wood
To prevent it going wrong
I’m touching wood
Just in case all my luck has gone
I’m touching wood
To prevent it going wrong
I’m touching wood
Just in case all my luck has gone

Don’t wear red in storms but wear a hard hat 
Using chopsticks making sure to lay them flat
No facing or broken mirrors back and forth
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces north

Chorus

No singing at the dining room table
Avoid spilling salt keeping body stable
The horse shoe upwards by word of mouth
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces south

Chorus

Thirteen numbers or a whistle inside for waiting
Dialling 666 getting straight through to Satan
Keeping all doors open not upsetting man or Priest
When sleeping Hancock’s head never faces East

Chorus

Call Me _Acoustic  Guitar Version

A true story from my heavier drinking days
From my new Album "Friends, they're gonna get your story wrong"
Check it out on Soundcloud under album tab

Lyrics: 
Well, this is was a very delicate and drunken operation
You see, when you have a wasp nest on the side of your house
You have a couple options
One thing I do know is that man must always control nature
At least that's what my girlfriend said
One: You can get up on a ladder
Tape a bag around it 
That's kind of a dangerous  proposition
Or you can just call someone to take care of it
But, I'm an all American man!
Yes!

Option #2: You get up on a ladder
With a broom, maybe with an extended handle
Poke at it
Then run like hell
You know, a wasp nest is nothing but a pest
I'm a drunken mess!
Yes, yes, yes

Option #3: My friend Chuckie, he said he'd come over
You get up on the ladder, I'll hold your beer in the cozy
You smoke a big bong load of weed
Blow it right into the wasp nest
Multiple times
They'll all go to sleep
Extract the Queen
They'll will all die of heartbreak
Yes, yes, yes!

She said: before you begin
Let me call my friend
Were going to get some wine
And watch you from a distance
And see how a real man gets things done
Yes, yes!

Lyrics:

Bodhran’s Dream 

A silver veil hangs sweet and low
The sea pulls her skirt in the wind
Gazing over Tempters cliff, 
The heart calls a future unmet
Two hands upon a timeless face
Who never seem able to meet
But Time has sold what should have been
And I can’t let go of this dream

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others’ arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me.

Holding on to memories
That glisten like pearls on a string
And where this ends, no one can know,
But hope is where all this begins…

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me…. Live it with me…

Bodhran's Dream

Bodhran's Dream (Ft Junkheap)

A bit late,but best wishes to y'all. 

I hope this is a good year
I hope for me and you
I hope for warmth and good cheer
In twenty twentytwo

I'll raise a glass,here's to you all
Together we can do
Before our final curtain call
Let live twenty twentytwo

May your time be ever golden
May you see your trouble through
May you never be beholden
In twenty twentytwo

Remember what we took for granted
Remember what we thought was free
Isolated disenchanted
Life has no guarantee

Here's to all the tired and weary
I wish the best for you
A year that's not so dreary
In twenty twentytwo

Resung, remixed & remastered. A different mic and less effects on the vocal make a big difference. Also went for a more intimate delivery.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

My love
I hope you hear you this song
I can’t be without you for too long
And although, sometimes you’re on your own
You’re always, always on my mind

My love 
When you are far 
I can see your smile
I remind myself of your touch
You’re always on my mind

When I get lonely
I close my eyes
I think of you and then I smile

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

My love
Let me know you feel the same way
I wan’t to feel your love every single day
And although, sometimes its not so easy
Remember,  you’re always on my mind

My love, 
When you are near
I can’t lose, I lose all my fear
I know just how to begin
I reach out, I touch your skin

Into my arms, my arms my love
You’re my only love, you’re my only love

Yeah my darling, you’re my only love
You’re my only love

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

Always On My Mind

Always On My Mind | Davy Vance 🎸

okay I fleshed it out and worked on the vocal...
NOTE: I finally took those annoying breaths out of the vocal track!

This one’s gonna hurt, it’s gonna make me wanna cry
And turn things upside down, and still I’ll wonder why
You made me feel alive, but now I want to die
You took away my wings when you taught me how to fly

This one’s gonna hurt, more than anything I’ve known
It makes me question everything, what is right and what is wrong
What it means to be redeemed, to come off of that ledge
And you see the one you love still dancing on the edge

In this dirty dusty room, it’s like an empty tomb
There’s an echo in the hall, but no one there to hear me call
But know I tried to make it right
I tried to save us from the fall

I don’t know what to do, I can’t believe it’s true
I was lost inside a dream, but I know now what it means
To wake up in the cold, when everything went wrong
And the life we knew is gone

This one’s gonna hurt, and it’s more than I can stand
When I can’t hold you close, with these two empty hands
I was searching for a sign, to know how you would feel
I wish I could change your mind
But I know you never will…

Another forgotten song that has been hanging around in my files for some time.  I finally decided to share it with the public.

Sparkling Eyes

Intro:
Since I first saw them
Those eye had me at first glance

Verse 1:
Yes I love those Sparkling eyes
Those deep intense eyes of yours
They send me on wonderful highs
That take everything with no cures

Chorus:
Sparkling eyes
Shining so bright
Helps me realize
Everything’s all right

Verse 2:
I look at them in wonder
They shoot those beams like thunder
When the sun shines 
There are so many signs

Verse 3:
It is their wonderful duty
To make you a beauty
They are what make you 
such a fabulous brew

GIRASOL

El frío cubrió todo con una capa de hielo
y girasol es,
la noche aventaba todo su fulgor con la oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar ausente por un instante nada más, 
nada más.

El silencio atrapó todo con un manto de nácar necedad 
y girasol es,
la nada inundaba con blanca seda y negra oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar distante en el presente en ésta realidad, 
realidad.
