Hard to believe

 Russians says "There' s no Ukraine, it shouldn't exist"...  I'm Ukrainian and I'm proud of it. My country do exists as well as my music. No one in the world has no right and power to make such statements about any nation. They drew their fascist sign "Z" with blood of Ukrainian children. If you support Russian aggression against Ukraine you've got that bloody sign on your forehead. The God is to judge you...

Falling Slowly

Day is done and I’m coming home, – think happy thoughts to lessen my load, clench my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road, take a side street because I need some time, to create a smile that isn’t mine, I’m pulling up an hey I’m doing fine, aside from losing my shine. Did you notice that tear in my eye, was hoping that you’d ask me why,  so much to tell you about my day, well maybe it’s just better this way
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
I have seen the worst of everyone – and it’s made me positively numb – March to the beat of someone else’s drum – was always trying to be just someone – take a side street cause I need some time – to create a smile that isn’t mine – I’m pulling up and I’m doing fine Except I’ve lost that shine
Did you notice that this wasn’t me? do you think about who we used to be?  Do you have a heart or has it gone to hell? trust me woman this man can tell – I’ve hid away for far too long – Let me break it out here in this song – I was not the only one who was wrong, will I ever find a place where I belong 
Yet all this time I always knew – how grateful I was for you but trying times get the best of me  
with my chin up I face the day – I never knew any other way – then to grind it out – but I guess that’s just me – it’s my reality 
Day is done and I’m coming home – think happy thoughts to lessen my load – clench ,my fists and get in that mode – forgive me but long is my road

＊This work was made by overdubbing my guitar performance to Ray's work "Excuse Me".Thank you Ray for accepting my request.
------------------------------
Ray ---- Excuse Me
https://soundcloud.com/in-the-mood-for-music/excuse-me
------------------------------
＊Below is from Ray's original description.

ーーA slow and melancholic song, hope you like it.

------------------------------
＊By the way, it's Ray, not me, who makes the chord backing that takes the rhythm with the wah pedal, the thick chord stroke with the flanger, and the pick scratch that rubs the wound strings with the pick.  Please listen to Ray's work and check it out.  From the beginning, Ray brought a sound that wasn't normally "suitable" for this piece.  The charm of this free and open work is exactly what Ray created.
------------------------------
Over the last few months, we have been exposed to a lot of media coverage. A man who lived and worked with his family in Poland returned to his hometown of Lviv with his family. "I can't stand to see the destroyed city anymore. I want to regain the beautiful Ukraine," he said. "It's a beautiful country, Ukraine," said one woman proudly. She said, "It has been destroyed and polluted, but we will definitely regain beautiful Ukraine."

When the Ukrainian people talk about "Ukraine, a beautiful country", there is a vast sky and land. As I watch the news of the tragedy, I find that we are more encouraged by the strength of the people who are ready to rebuild the country.

Initially, I was planning to work on another work by Ray, but when I listened to this song again, I noticed that "the sky" appeared in the refrain part. I know the lyrics of this piece deal with a different theme, but as I hummed the refrain, I felt that it could be a "fighting song" for me to move forward with the Ukrainian people. .. The target of support is the Ukrainian people, and I myself. I secretly thought that I wanted to make it one of the "cheer songs" for everyone, who are struck by this unreasonable invasion. And I decided to put my guitar on this song.

------------------------------
In addition, "Lillithe / Paploviante", including the sound source that Ray seems to have used in this work, should be called our great pioneer in that field as well. They have produced a huge collection of works using Vocals' Audio-Samples as the theme. At that time, I would like to note that they are experts who have mastered the source and lyrics of Samples by clearly stating them each time. The creators who inherit the method will be able to learn from the various usages of Samples to the usage rules by keeping in mind the reference of the works they have accumulated. It will be a great ally for each successor as they open up the future beyond SoundCloud.

Their enormous collection of works teaches us a lot. I would like to express my deep gratitude to them again for that.

From the age of 15 when I first stepped into the world of employment I was told it would be a major advantage to get a job that lasted through to the State retirement age of 65. At the time I'll admit it was not something I took at all seriously.  When you’re that age, the last thing on your mind is bloody retirement.   

However, by the time I reached my early 50’s and had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my mind became a little more concentrated on reaching what might now  conceivably prove to be an eminently missable target.  In the interim, the UK government decided that, given the population was living considerably longer than it once had, they would incrementally be raising the retirement age, meaning that mine now became 66. 

Our dear old Nan was a dedicated Bingo player and knew that number callers used particular phrases for certain numbers, one of the best known being 66, known as  ‘Clickety Click’.  So reaching pensionable age became inextricably linked to Bingo, hence the title and subject matter of this song.   

The number one - ‘Kelly’s Eye’ - seemed a good place to start and having done some fascinating research, I worked my way through the Bingo calls, choosing the ones whose scansion worked best, until I reached the magic ‘Clickety Click'.  

As the chorus explains, there were no guarantees I’d actually get there, it was just a target.  But I did get there and this song celebrates the fact.  

The song ends with the traditional exclamation of the player who has won the game, being either ‘House!’ or ‘Bingo!’.  When I was recording the vocals, my constant and beautiful companion Marvin (it is he who is pictured in the cover art) reacted to my shouts with a loud bark, perfectly in time, so we decided to keep it in.  Marv is with me at 99% of the recordings and enjoys being involved when the opportunity presents.

As always, huge thanks to the wonderful Hans Albers for another brilliant backing track which is, as I think you’ll agree, perfect for the song.  That man is a genius.
Thanks so much for listening.   (Terry Reeves)


It all started with Ned Kelly’s eye (1)
A cup of tea (3) to stop going dry
Tom Mix (6) wearing hat, riding fast
Monkey’s cousin (12) hanging, trying to last
Key of the door (21), two little ducks (22)
Paid half a crown (26), keep up the luck
In a state (28), rise and shine (29) but alive
One dirty knee (33) to help jump and jive (35)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six, a target to achieve

Half way to laugh, more than eleven (37)
As life begins (40), time for fun (41) isn’t heaven
Up to tricks (46) towards four dozen (48)
Five-0, Five-0, it’s off to work (50) with percussion
Danny la Rue (52), a man at the door (54)
The snakes are alive (55) but don’t wriggle more
Shotts bus (56) to Scotland, check the sign
Variety of Heinz (57) to the Brighton Line (59)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six a target to achieve

A baker’s bun (61) all tickety boo (62)
Tickle me (63), almost retired (64) laughing too
Retirement age(65), it should have been fun
Clickety click (66), getting paid
Take the money and run  
Route 66, nearly there
Clickety click, the sound of my wheelchair

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe 
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live 
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine 
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate 
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake  
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes 
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make 
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate 
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate 
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break 
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late 
to create —-understand and fascinate 
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate 
is gravy to me—— I’mer keep it straight 
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me 
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny 
it might take some time ——for all to see 
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti 
infusing the track with—- positive energy 
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency 
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus
 
Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday 
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say 
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way 
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray 
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways 
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today 
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway 
please try to meet me halfway

JEANNE D’ARC 
Jeanne d'Arc (1412 - 30 mai 1431) est considérée comme une héroïne de la France pour son rôle dans le siège d'Orléans et le couronnement de Charles VII de France pendant la guerre de Cent Ans contre l'Angleterre. Après avoir mené avec succès plusieurs actions militaires françaises, elle a été capturée, remise aux autorités anglaises, condamnée comme hérétique et brûlée sur le bûcher en 1431. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, sa condamnation a été formellement annulée. Près de 500 ans après sa mort, elle a été canonisée comme sainte par l'Église catholique romaine.
Joan of Arc ( 1412 – 30 May 1431) is considered a heroine of France for her role in the siege of Orléans and the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years' War against England. After successfully leading several French military actions, she was captured, handed over to English authorities, convicted as a heretic, and burnt at the stake in 1431. Twenty-five years later, her conviction was formally overturned. Nearly 500 years after her death, she was canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

Dorothy meets the 3 munchkins and receives their advise on finding The Wizard of Oz.
From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum: “At the East, not far from here,” said one, “there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it.” “It is the same at the South,” said another, “for I have been there and seen it. The South is the country of the Quadlings.” “I am told,” said the third man, “that it is the same at the West. And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way.” . . . The three Munchkins bowed low to her and wished her a pleasant journey, after which they walked away through the trees.

Einstein determined that time is relative and that the rate at which it passes depends on your frame of reference.  Now I’m not saying that I’m much of a scholar of his work but what I do know is that when the Covid pandemic was at it’s height and we were all confined to our homes, many of those that I spoke to didn’t even know where in the week we were, let alone the time of day, so yer man Einstein probably had a point.

This song was written long before the pandemic surfaced and came during telephone and email conversations I had with my two fellow Cripple Club garage band members, Gary and Hans . For example, I was chatting to Gal one day when he said “You know, I just can’t get the hang of time, these days.  Weeks seem to just merge into each other”. 

On the very same day, Hans sent me an email in which he stated "I’m really struggling to get the hang of time at the moment…” As someone who spends much of his time at home anyway, the two ‘hang of time’ statements did resonate with me and therefore carried an intriguing synchronicity.  I’m not someone who thinks these things have any mystical significance but the fact that they had both used precisely the same expression on the same day certainly placed the idea for this song in my mind.

Thanks again to Hans for taking the concept and formulating it so brilliantly into his arrangement for the song.  And many thanks to you for listening.
(Terry Reeves)

I just can’t get the hang of time
Tomorrow seemed a million miles behind
And yet a date turns up in front of mind
What more to remember or try to find

I just can’t get the hang of time

Another month goes by without a breath
Although breathing in moves me to the left
Time to the right can cause calendar theft
Pitching very low sounds to a musical clef

I just can’t get the hang of time

No shaking up time without showing my age
As click track continues keep missing the page
Never losing my temper but cheating a rage
There is never a tempo that keeps sounds in a cage

I just can’t get the hang of time (Repeat)

BREAK

Qualified people pointing a direction to live
Not one understands why I’m mentally captive
Each box with a tick but the time doesn’t give
My Individual need making all words so inactive

I just can’t get the hang of time

A window reflection shows a man with a beard 
Tuesday or Wednesday? All days disappeared
I just can’t get the hang of time
It wasn’t meant to be an ageing skill of mine.

I just can’t get the hang of time

Quand les contraires s'attirent ...

Auteur mélodiste : Guillaume DULER
Compositeur arrangeur : Philippe SEGUINARD
Lyrics :
J'préfère de loin quand on est proche
Quand loin des yeux t'es dans ma poche
J'te partage pas je sais c'est moche
Et tu m'reproches que je m'accroche
J'préfère encore plus que jamais
Quand tu m'dis oui mais y'a un mais
En avril tu fais ce qu'il te plait
C'est ta manière de m'aimer

Tu es mon antonyme mon ivresse contraire
Une idylle qui rime comme des paroles en l'air
J'suis pas ton synonyme c'est plutôt le contraire
Mais même s'il est minime notre amour est sincère

J'préfère peut-être évidemment
Que tu oublies ta vie d'avant
Ta vie d'eau fraiche ta vie d'amant
Ça m'parais quand même évident
J'préfère d'ailleurs quand t'es ici
 Tout contre mon cœur endormis
Je laisse tous tes rêves pour lui
Je prend les jours j'lui laisse les nuits

Tu es mon antonyme mon ivresse contraire
Une idylle qui rime comme des paroles en l'air
J'suis pas ton synonyme c'est plutôt le contraire
Mais même s'il est minime notre amour est sincère

J'préfère quand même c'est pas pareil
Quand je suis ton unique soleil
Le seul qui t'susurre à l'oreille
Comme des messages dans des bouteilles

Tu es mon antonyme mon ivresse contraire
Une idylle qui rime comme des paroles en l'air
J'suis pas ton synonyme c'est plutôt le contraire
Mais même s'il est minime notre amour est sincère

I like it better when we're close
When out of sight you're in my pocket
I don't share you I know it's ugly
And you blame me for hanging on
I prefer even more than ever
When you tell me yes but there's a but
In April you do as you please
It's your way of loving me
You're my antonym my intoxicating opposite
An idyll that rhymes like words in the air
I'm not your synonym it's rather the opposite
But even if it's minimal our love is sincere
Maybe I'd rather
That you forget your former life
Your life of fresh water your life of lover
It seems obvious to me
I prefer it when you're here
Close to my sleeping heart
I leave all your dreams for him
I take the days and leave the nights to him
You're my antonym my intoxicating opposite
An idyll that rhymes like words in the air
I'm not your synonym it's rather the opposite
But even if it's minimal our love is sincere
I still prefer it's not the same
When I'm your only sun
The only one who whispers in your ear
Like messages in bottles
You're my antonym my intoxicating opposite
An idyll that rhymes like words in the air
I'm not your synonym it's rather the opposite
But even if it's minimal our love is sincere
