Lyrics: 
So, don't you think it's getting old now
Empty rounds, sprayed all around
So, don't you think it's getting old now
It could be different now
Somehow

Not another one, oh no

Wake up

not another one - Jonathan Beckenstein/cw

I think it’s important to say that a lot more women than you think have had one or multiple miscarriages. It’s just that it is a subject not often talked about because of the very personal pain that the couple go through. The unborn life has no contact with anybody else except the mother and the emotions are often only remembered by the mother and father.
When Jo and I were expecting our second child we were very excited and looking forward to having another Reeves in our growing family. I will never forget the day that we were told we were going to lose the baby and once told, left sitting in an open A & E waiting area having to cope with all our raw emotions and the prospect of the impending loss amongst the rest of the other patients.
Jo had to go through a painful operation to terminate the pregnancy and it is a day she will never forget. We were a family of three planning being a family of four having now to plan being a family of three recovering from an invisible loss and explain it to our young son.
It was an extremely difficult time but we were fortunate that after a few years we did have two more children. Jo tells me that although it is difficult to explain the connection she had with the unborn child that the presence of life inside her will never be forgotten.
I felt I couldn’t let this moment in our lives pass by without acknowledging our unborn child in some way. The rollercoaster of emotions we shared at that time from euphoria at increasing our family to devastation and bereavement at our loss were felt intensely only by Jo and myself played it’s part in forging the strong bond we have had throughout our relationship.

Two giving chance for more to love
Sharing excitement of a life that grew
Future moments by imagination
Holding tightly to a dream, not knowing who

The moment will always be there

No blessing from a hand of friendship 
Could change the feeling of love untried
A desperation of disappearing contact
Sixteen weeks of wonder with a life inside

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Will always be there x3

It’s hard to share the tears of life unborn
Expectations waiting, true feelings strong
Growing three to four into a family together 
Not knowing where to be or why we belong

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Many questions asked reasons who or why
Emotional growth but no name it’s true
An everlasting memory impossible to share
Changing 4 back to 3 kept just between two

The moment will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there

Meditations

Integrate

ephemeral

The October 2022 DIAMC writing prompt was about displacement, taking a character either fictional or real and putting them into an alternative reality. I imagined a world where Little Red was all grown up and off to the bright lights and big city, in search of Mr Wolf.

Demo, recorded in the spare bedroom of our holiday cottage in Ackergill.



Little Red

Little Red she’s grown up proper
Little Red, nothing’s going to stop her
She’s going to shine, like the moon
Mr Wolf, big man in the city
Mr Wolf sure likes them pretty
In for a surprise, Mr Wolf
You’d better watch that back
Look both ways
She’s coming for her due
Little Red

Little Red, headed for the Hood
Telling Granny she is going to be good
She may be lying, but honest she’s trying
Little Red steps into his bar
Mr Wolf greets her with a snarl
“Hrrrrrrrr, Babe, you’re looking swell”
Little Red flicks back long hair
Walks by, ignoring his stare
“Make mine a double on the rocks 
And wipe that look, off your face,
I swapped out that blunt old axe,
For some Mace
And I’m not afraid to use it,
Don’t need a Woodcutter no more.”

Little Red, now she’s a star
Mr Wolf, he’s gone and bought her a car
And a house, and a yacht, and a ring
He fell under her spell
Little Red, she played him so well
But damn, that girl could sing
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

“Turned out there’d been a bit of a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf isn’t all bad, you know? Last I heard…he’d gone and bought Granny…a new condo”

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

"Turns out, it had all been a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf, well, he is all bad you know. In fact, the last I heard, he'd gone a bought Granny a new condo.

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

Little Red - Demo

I absolutely love this remix by the enormously talented @Spiralizer! Rob was one of the first people here on Soundcloud to check out my tracks regularly and give encouraging feedback and that has definitely encouraged me and given me confidence. Go check him out! He has a big following here and for a good reason :).

Abyss Of Salamis - Άβυσσος Της Σαλαμίνας

Hey music friends, this is my very first open collaboration. I've been meaning to to do one for a little while now but was waiting for a track to come along that has enough open space for additions but that can also kind of stand on it's own. I thought this one fit the bill. It's a minimal beat that I created using the Volca Drum with just a few melodic lines produced in Korg Gadget. One of the lines is accentuated with the Minilogue. I hope a few of you will be inspired to try working with it!

Feel free to use the elements in anyway you would like--  just the drums, just the melodies, or any combination. I would appreciate a reference to my artist name and ideally a link back to the original track. Please send me a link to anything you make and I'll add it to this running playlist... https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/sets/earth-sky-open-collaborations
