As a very experienced and qualified practitioner, my brother Bri’s widow Sue has always been a believer in the homeopathic approach to life.  A vegan since her late teens, she truly walks the talk and has never been afraid to stand tall against the herd, no matter that this can often bring her into conflict with the mainstream.  Admittedly, I do not follow either of these creeds but it does have to be said that my own opinions aren’t exactly conventional either, so am a huge admirer of her courage to speak up for the things she considers right.  It takes strength and resolution to stand your ground when all around seem to be against you - and stand her ground she does. 

Sue is a true supporter of our music.  Always interested in what we are doing, her positive feedback is something that means a great deal to us.  Recently, she asked to listen to some of our more recent songs and was particularly taken with ‘My Atheist Angels’, since it deals with issues that are very close to my heart.  As we chatted, she surprised me by asking if I’d ever consider writing a song that represented her feelings and life choices, something I’d never been asked before.  

For me, the writing process is never straightforward because songs most often appear completely out of the ether.  I hardly ever make straightforward choices about them, allowing grains to sprout of their own accord whilst I’m just sitting around strumming my guitar.  Occasionally, those initial seeds take years to grow into a shape that pleases me, let alone one that may please someone else.  

So in answer to her question, I didn’t say yes but then again I didn’t say no, feeling that the only way forward was to gather some thoughts about her and hope that somewhere along the line, these would bring into existence a tune that pleased the  both of us.  As luck would have it, everything dropped into place much more quickly than I’d imagined and here is the song I created for her.  As I write, she doesn’t even have the faintest idea it even exists, so we will have to wait and see whether it is everything she hoped it would be.  Let’s hope so…. (Terry Reeves)

Roots of existence remain deeply underground 
Hiding from destruction most scientists have found 
Politicians manoeuvre with an honesty of believers
Not treating with kindness, natural self achievers 

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

Vaccination of hope killing antibodies of prevention  
Not understanding opinion of a personal protection 
Homeopathic practice with a care for entire person
No apologies of achievement, truth is always certain

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

It’s a regretful crime
Politicians design
Looking for a sign
No time to re-define
Hottest sun to shine:
No chance to climb 
Slide down the slime
Running out of time

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

An equality of opinion but never dictating needs
Important to be heard, chance of choosing seeds
A want to be free and understanding of respect 
Information of direction, not experiment neglect 

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

No intention of disturbing change planetary axis 
Love the living but concerned possible malpractice 
Planting for survival total respect for all the animals 
Conviction of beliefs, removing doubter’s manacles 
 
It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine…

Yes, there's a soundbite from a Marvel movie in the mix (Disney don't sue me please). And yes, it still makes me cry. Damn you, Vision!

Bonus: Guess the movie in the comments! First correct answer gets a follow and virtual fist bump. 

Influences: TV on the Radio, Billie Ellish & Finneas

El Arte Del Olvido

this song is the first one i composed in my recording studio after a long period in countries like romania, croatia and germany and my return to argentina where i have my big recording studio! today is a special saturday night and the typical summer moon, that is to say, it's getting hotter in our country since we're living in a summer climate! returning to argentina was quite sad because i found a country full of political corruption and a lot of poverty! to tell the truth, this is not the argentina that we all know! political corruption is the order of the day and even more so with my mental health problems, it's something that affects me a lot and i don't wish bad on anyone, quite the opposite! i hope the argentine people can be happy since there is a lot of unemployment and mainly the poverty rate has grown notably!

Lyrics

I'm batman
I 'aint no rat man
I'm still not fat and I tan
Call the night black clan
Come over here Gotham

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

My training cave is a house
The routine!
Being a parent
To the kids... I'm Batman!
Well... Until I turn Penguin

No Suit...
No Mobil
'Used to have that Robin feel...
No Bike...
No Plane...
Used to save...
Now better days

Alfred is bored
This bat don't hire... I'm poor!
'Peugout for missions
Sorry Earth... More emmisions
Where's the joker?
In school... She's 4
Bill Hicks is back but Alma (the best jokes ever), she's more...
Then in an hour, it's mini me Theodore (The fastest at everything)
Then everything too, Matilda (An amazing artist & athlete)
The World is their door

I'm Batman

The ancient Greeks had two distinct concepts of time: Chronos and Kairos.  

"Tombstones often display the dates of an individual’s birth and death, separated by a dash. That dash represents the person’s Chronos time on earth and how it was spent.
Kairos time, on the other hand, points to the right, or opportune, moment (the supreme moment), a moment of indeterminate time in which events happen. Kairos is vital time, God’s time. While chronos is “tick-tock” time, kairos is a powerful moment when time stands still. Kairos time is when God interrupts our routine and touches us so deeply that we are forever changed".

I believed in love alone
I believed in rolling stone 
I believed belief is vain
When I was young when I was crazed
Just a kairos ago
Can you believe what's happened to us in us look-see 
It happens in no time 
Time
Outside of time
Just a Kairos ago
I believed in love alone
I believed that I was grown 
I believed belief is vain 
I'm shown more but cannot say 
What's been happening today
Just a kairos ago
Can you believe what's happened to us in us look-see 
It happens in no time 
Time
Outside of time
Just a Kairos to go
A kairos ago 
Kairos never goes
A kairos ago

Kairos

A Higher Plane

This is a song I wrote addressing school shootings in the US. The United States has far more school shootings than any other country. Between 2009 and 2018, the U.S. recorded 288 school shootings, while the next highest country (Mexico) had only 8. In fact, the U.S. has had dozens of times more incidents than all other high-income nations combined. Something needs to change.

Something Needs to Change

Where the Crows Don’t Sing

In the late 1940’s in the Fulham\Hammersmith area there used to be a club that would raise money for people with disabilities. The club itself would have various activities which a large number involved live music. The name itself was created by the local people who used the club as there main place of entertainment. When my mother in law told me all about it the club and its name I was sold. It seemed to suit me and my brother for so many reasons.
