a really great track: original idea, cool vocals and loving the funky feel

Brilliant stuff guys. I'll be having a few more listens tonight. Love XTC btw.

That somewhat unfortunate 50th birthday spawned this great song, and at least that's some consolation!

Xtc were always right ;)
Nice funky rock song Terry!

Her Storm

Boddi Ynoch Chi ("Drowning In You")

This track is alternative rock track. It is influenced by classical music. Instruments involved are vocals, acoustic piano, violin, drums and bass. My sound is mysterious, packed with melancholy and anger and it is also expressive.

Demons

I have allways loved this song. there are many versions of it but this is my take on it ,I hope ypo guys like it ,,,

Feel So Blue

Written and Performed by Novelli/Ruffolo
Verse Lyrics by Joey Cape

Lyrics:

Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world? 
If you were an alien?👽🛸👾
If it were conspiracy?
And would it hurt to live in comfort
If you found someone to trust?
If you knew that you were with us?
If we shared a common goal?

We
We went our way
We went our way
We walked way

It was my 50th birthday and I was meant to be having a day of fun and laughter, enjoying the company of friends and family. One guest, though, took it upon themselves to share personal tales of woe with one and all, a process which spanned the entire occasion, from uncomfortable beginning through to bitter end.  As a result, it is the recollection of that somewhat harrowing narrative that lingers, rather than  the memory of song and laughter I was kind of hoping for.  

At the time, the words of XTC's song “Snowman” came into my head, probably because I was wondering why this person was treating me with such cold, unfeeling insensitivity.  OK, hardly the true meaning of the original, but exactly how I felt about what had happened.  I haven't ever mentioned these feelings to anyone except my wife, preferring to lay them to rest by the now tried and trusted method of writing a song about it, and to also remind myself that, after all, it was just another day.

The music Arnold (you can see his other work at https://soundcloud.com/arnold-dawson-317816707 and a link to his band camp pagehttps://exit.sc/?url=https://arnolddawson.bandcamp.com/track/xtc-were-right)created here is out of this world, and interprets the meaning of the song with absolute perfection.  Everlasting thanks to him for helping me put that day to rest, so that it can at least now be remembered in the context of a brilliantly produced track.  He played, arranged and mixed the whole thing - all I had to do was add the vocal.  I had shedloads of fun doing that.  

Thanks so much to everyone for listening.  (Terry Reeves).

Another day is over
Darkness all around 
Crushed a four leaf clover
Didn’t see it on the ground

How much luck does it take
Before I make the same mistake

Another Birthday candle
Lightning up the room
Still learning how to handle 
Other people’s tales of gloom

Fifty years but I ain’t done yet
Looking forwards with some past regrets 
Some past regrets

What you see
Isn’t always what you want to see
Where you go
Isn’t always where you want to be

Another melting snowman 
XTC were right
But I’d rather be a no man
Than stay cold all my life

Climate change may end the snow
My entire fault I will never know
I will never know

Another leaf has fallen 
The tree is nearly bare
Winter nearly over
No hero’s springing up anywhere 

What you see is what you got
Close your eyes you got a lot
You got a lot

Where you go
Isn’t always where you want to be
Where you want to be

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

lyrics

WICKED

Well who do you think you are anyway?
You’re not my Super-Star nor anyone elses
HUH! You’re just a Dead-Beat Boy-Friend Baby

How wicked, wicked you are
So low & wicked you are
Ya’ cut straight-into me
Stone cold blooded-ly

So long to re-al-ize
Just livin’ in disguise
Was hopin’ for the best
Our life was only a test

Years dragged on dark
Too painful to recall
Blin-ded by-ai
Your Pretty-Boy-Ploys

I served you well
Instead it was hell
Picked up your clothes
I scrubbed up the floors

And you never cared
Dared to see
How I was
Witherin’ slowly

Di-sin-te-grating
No longer myself
You made me feel
Less and
Less of a…

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to
Desire me, desire me

Years dragged on dark
Too painful to recall
Blin-ded by-ai
Your Pretty-Boy-Ploys

I served you well
Instead it was hell
I picked up your clothes
I scrubbed up the floor

And you never cared
Dared to see
How I was
Witherin’ slowly

Di-sin-te-grating
No longer myself
You made me feel
Less and
Less and
Less of a…

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to
Desire me, desire me

(Eh-Eh Ah-Ah
Wo-Oh Oh Oh...Oh
Yeah-Ee-Yeah-Ee
Yeah-Ee-Yeah-Eh)

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to
Desire me, desire me

Take it away my rockin’ rollers
Cuz’ this girl needs to sing her heart out

Thrash it, smash it, hit me hard
I’m contemplating leaving ya
Thrash it, smash it, hit me hard
I just wanna feel good again
Cuz’ I’m so done

Oh listen up real good
You are so wicked
You're too
Damn, damn wicked
Wicked you are

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your chosen one
You never dared to
Desire me, desire me

Why can’t you, can’t you see
I was your Baby Doll
You never really
Wanted me
Wanted me

Rekha and Echo Garage - Wicked

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.
