Fantastic work! Love the vocals and tasteful guitar additions, too! So good 😎👌

Hey Craig man, love your vocal melodies, and your singing itself is very pleasing to my ears, too. Brilliant musical composition underneath, as well. Fantastic work here, man!

Brilliant piece, well-orchestrated! Beautiful voices.

Oh yes weekends are so needed when you still work. Great  track and I feel the sentiment.  When you retire I suggest just changing lyrics to we earned this life.

Great song – catchy and full of energy. 🎶❤️🎶

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
You're 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

MY ATHEIST ANGELS - CRIPPLE CLUB

Lyrics
Monday was  a cold and raining
Tuesday never stopped it’s complaining
and Wednesday stuck around damn near longer than any day should
Thursday was a throbbing tooth ache
And even Friday didn’t give us a real break
Come quitting time I am gonna lay my hammer down 
(Chorus)
We earned this weekend baby
We earned this weekend baby
We earned this weekend
Ain’t nothing getting in our way

Friday night we’ll step out looking so great
Saturday sleep in don’t care how late
Cause little extra rest shouldn’t be some kind of guilty luxury
(Repeat Chorus)
All day Sunday we’ll cater to our best selves 
Dust off the dreams we keep   up on the back shelf
And remember the things we really love to do
(Repeat Chorus)
Cause Monday’s waiting for us anyway
Let’s live free for a couple days
If anyone deserves it, honey, it’s you and me
(Repeat Chorus)

We Earned This Weekend

I feel privileged yet again to have had a chance to collaborate with such talented and experienced musicians. Thank you all! 

The lyrics are dedicated to my former workplace from a few years ago. I knew I had to one day do something. Little did I know it was with music. 😉

Lullaby (Featuring Quinsha)

A song about how I came to learn to play the guitar and start to write songs. I am very sorry for the poor sound. But at the moment I can only record with my phone. That's why I have to play the song in one go. The drums are just the built-in drum accompaniment of my amplifier, which I switched on in this song after the first chords. I will buy an audio interface and try to find a DAW (free or not too expensive) - if you know a free one, you can send me a PM.
One day I will manage to get a better sound, I am sure! But for the first songs, only all live-played with the drums from my amp recorded via phone, since I cannot do more at the moment. Perhaps some like it nevertheless? I am a bit excited about pulishing my first track here...
Since someone asked for the lyrics:

Motörhead is dead
A song called Ramones brought me to them
In my girlsroom I learned to play the guitar
I knew that I would not get very far
When my teacher told us, Motörhead is dead
I wanted to find out the music they made
The music was so fast, the sound was so hard
A song called Ramones brought me to them
Another great band
A second hand guitar, amp from my brother, too loud for my mother
In my girlsroom, on my bed, with headphone on, guitar in hand
With every chord I felt more alive
Motörhead and the Ramones became my drive
I plug in my amp and turn on the sound
Playing Motörhead so loud
With Motörhead my journey had begun
Now I write songs one by one
I learn how to rock and run
And Motörhead lives on and on and on and on

Motorhead Is Dead

This a companion track to "Stay the F--k Out of Ukraine" uploaded in 2022) Let's not become desensitized to all the destruction and human loss at the hands of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Over 3 years of sustained violence with some of the heaviest drone and missile attacks being being  this week with attacks on civilian centres - Apartment Buildings, Neighbourhood playgrounds, Schools, Hospitals, Transportation centres/routes, Power generation . Wanton destruction. Mass graves. ICC, where are you?  Slava Ukraini. Putin could end it all as easily as he started this, faster than Trump claimed he could end it. LEAVE! and pay for all the damage in property and human lives wasted needlessly. Time for the Dinosaur of the old USSR  to go.

Lyrics:

Dinosaur 

Сволочь (You B******d)
Stop your shooting…Mr Putin…stop your shooting…( now!)
I bet you were a lonely child
Pulling legs and wings off flies
You cannot hide the dead behind your eyes
I bet you got no love from Mummy
Never even loved a woman
What you gunna get you will deserve
With malice towards none and charity for all  (Lincoln)
But you got malice towards all and charity for none
Stand your citizens in a line
They believe your every lie
“Tactical manoeuvres?” …my ass!
You wanna shell every woman and child
Then you threaten to vaporise
Leave them just shadows on the wall
You’re a dinosaur (x6)         …you should be extinct
You’re just a school-yard bully
Out of state and out of Country
And if we say the word “war”…ya gunna slap us all in chains
Stop your shooting…Mr Putin…stop you’re shooting now! (x4)
прекрати стрелять  (stop your shooting)

lyrics

Miami is calling my name
My summer mind, my summer brain
Drinks are on me
Step into the sea

Neon Daze 
Neon Daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze

Bartender make me a drink
One that makes me forget how to think
white sands all around
I love this neon town

Neon daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze
Neon Daze

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

TITLE: HYPERKAT JUNGLE QUEEN
________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
She moves like a shadow slick and mean
Prowlin' the night she's the Wildcat Queen
Eyes like fire claws unseen

(Pre-chorus)
She purrs when she’s close but don’t you dare
Scratch her surface she’ll leave you bare

(Chorus)
Wildcat Queen loves a hairy chest
She’ll hunt you down she loves the best
No smooth talk no clean-shaven jest
Wildcat Queen loves a hairy chest

(Verse 2)
She leaps she lands with a velvet spin
Her smile’s a trap you can’t help but grin
She rules the jungle where she’s always been

(Pre-chorus)
A growl in her throat a flash of teeth
Love her wild or feel her heat

(Chorus)
Wildcat Queen loves a hairy chest
She’ll hunt you down she loves the best
No smooth talk no clean-shaven jest
Wildcat Queen loves a hairy chest

(Outro)
She's got a taste for the rugged kind
A jungle heart & a juvenile humor combined.
She's got nine lives,
But she's living ten. Got no time for boys,
Just real grown MEN!

(Verse 1)
Gave my best, but you slipped through light
Offered my soul in the middle of night
Didn’t ask for anything but your skin
A little truth, a place to begin
You build a world and keep me out
Let me floating in quiet doubt
Didn’t trust me—that hurt the most
Phone off, and I kiss your ghost

(Pre-Chorus)
Losing grip in a velvet haze
You dance away in a smoke-filled phase
Listening to our tune
You faded slow under neon moon

(Chorus)
Crying alone in the cold
Back on the bed, breath runs slow
Wishing I could take your fear
Pull your pain right out of here
Heart cracked wide to keep you near
But maybe freedom’s what you need clear
Still our song keeps spinning through
At unison, but not with you

(Verse 2)
Your voice broke through late-night sound
Heard you shake when I wasn’t around
Changed for you in soft replay
Learned to love in a real way
Didn’t want the fall to catch me twice
But your lips keep me up at night
So I turned down all my light
To see yours flicker, fading bright

(Pre-Chorus)
Typing poems on your phone
While I’m replaying what we’ve known
Smoke wraps tears you try to hide
But your eyes scream what you deny
That you love me

(Chorus)
Crying alone in the cold
Back on the bed, breath runs slow
Wishing I could take your fear
Pull your pain right out of here
Heart cracked wide to keep you near
But maybe freedom’s what you need clear
Still our song keeps spinning through
At unison, but not with you

(Bridge)
I can feel what you don’t say
Weightless thoughts you locked away
I’d take the hit to ease your mind
My spine could carry what you hide
You whispered uncertainities into my sleep
I didn’t wake, but I felt it creep
Behind your blue eyes, hesitations burns
I missed the signs before the turn

(Verse 3)
Maybe I was blind in love’s design
Too busy holding what wasn’t mine
Maybe it’s what breaks the thread
Alone again, cold apartment bed
Far from arms that once felt fire
But I stayed here through all desire
Giving the little I had left
Even if it’s not enough, I kept

(Reveal Verse)
Truth is—this love was never wrong
We just ran from it not too long
Fear dressed up in lover’s clothes
Built walls around what we both chose
You were my mirror in a softer tone
But we kept pretending we’re better alone
Two hearts aching in synchronization
Calling it chaos to avoid salvation
What if all this noise was just disguise?
What if love stayed behind your eyes?
We didn’t break—we just withdrew
But I never stopped choosing you

(Outro)
Trying to hold you while you drift away
You act like love but push each day
At unison, with soft intention
But broken love needs no redemption
Still I wish to keep you close
Knowing part of you still knows
There was something more than pain—
Come back and hold my hand
At unison, in the rain.
