Life Goes On

(Written by Terry Reeves, 2018)

Cover art picture is of Mum & Brian, taken in 1949.

My Mum requested that, at her funeral(today, 16 January 2022, being the third anniversary), our sisterJayne and her children made arrangements to cover her coffin in pink roses as a sign to everybody that we should celebrate her life and not mourn her death.  They found a casket with a pink rose design too, which would have pleased her even more.  She wanted to be remembered for the good times she had with her family and many close friends.  Mum enjoyed parties and celebrations a great deal.

In writing the song, I wanted to represent all the important parts of Mum's life to help us to remember what an incredibly generous person she was,  always there to help those who needed some extra love and attention.  We grew up in a house that was somewhere our friends and neighbours could always turn to if they needed help. Throughout our lives it wasn't at all unusual to wake up in the morning to find someone who needed refuge asleep on the sofa.  Neighbours' children would join us for meals on a regular basis and Mum made sure there was always plenty to go round..

At the funeral itself, as the chorus explains, I felt so uncomfortably exposed, standing at the front with all eyes seemingly looking at me, gauging every reaction. I think Jayne and Gal felt much the same if truth be told.  Even with my wife and children there to support me, it was one of those moments in life I don't think any of us ever really wants to face. 

We will certainly never forget our wonderful Mum and all the things she did for us.  She always made special times just a bit more special, going that extra mile so that the memories would last a lifetime.

I felt it was particularly important to write this song for my sister, who was the main carer for my Mum in the latter years of her life and dealt with all the difficulties with so much love, care and strength.  This song is for you Jayne, with all our love. 

As always, we give our heartfelt thanks to Hans for producing an arrangement so in keeping with the spirit of the song and the occasion it marks.
Thank you everyone for all your support.  (Terry Reeves)

One thousand pink Roses to light the flame
One thousand reasons making you live again
One thousand regrets as we all stand still 
One thought of sadness makes this moment so real.

I don’t wanna be here for all to see   X2

Five hundred stories to make you live again
Five hundred dresses in a beautiful frame
Five hundred presents for your many friends
One single moment, our love will never end

I don’t wanna be here for all to see. X2

One hundred whispers hiding words of truth
One hundred wishes turning magic loose 
One hundred kisses for children who sing
Only one person could make hearts ring

I don't wanna be here for all to see.     X4

Only one mother helps grow with a laugh
Only one mother puts smiles in every photograph
Only one mother gives when others take
Our family love you never stopped trying to make 

I will always be here for you and me
I will always be here for you and me...
I will always be
Here for you

ONE THOUSAND PINK ROSES (FOR MUM) - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

Hey Everybody!

During the long Covid months I lost my creativity and connection to music somehow. Rarely played and listened. I guess it was a result of missing new impressions. Maybe some of you had similar experiences? However, I have started writing and recording again. First of all I would like to share this little acoustic instrumental. Hope you enjoy it!

Awaking

At 6:00 am, the world still seems fine.

☯️

In this Tune I tried to capture some innocent morning mood.

( like James Last did at 7:00 am.) 

Maybe it can be used as a peaceful wake up tone on an alarm-clock؟

===== Lyrics =====
The phone cord
The stereo
The television wires
Are twisting
And all I hear
Is your voice in my mind

Can I call you?
Can I call you?

All I know is
Tomorrow
Is forty years away
And I wonder
And wander
Through the land of time and faith

Could I want you?
Could I want you?

My head
And my heart
And my mouth
Have all run dry
And I wait for
Wait for
One droplet from the sky

Could I have you?

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater

A sinking doubt
Won’t wash out in the flood
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup
Could we decide
If this could be enough
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup

(Drinking saltwater
Saltwater)

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater
With you I’m drinking saltwater

(Drinking saltwater)

Saltwater - with Bonetender

Sleeps on Fire

I’m dwelling on rocket fire
Piano fragments and twisted strings
Lady rag doll dead at the door
Dementor soldier with lips so thin

Sleep Killer’s messing with my head
Gotta rise up get a change of thought
Find a codeine and a TV show
My feet are cold and my tongues like chalk

Back in bed and it’s Mr Psycho
Ugly boss gotta face him away
And lady friend of the underground
We’ll be busted yeah maybe today

Sleeps on fire yeah
Sleeps on fire yeah

All the news is existential
Who’s going to go have kids today?
I’m rolling round my sheets are tenting
The latest vaccine is a throat spray

Sleeps on fire yeah
Sleeps on fire yeah

SLEEPS ON FIRE
