When Brian first played me “If The Stars Are The Dreams Of Spacemen“, I was absolutely stunned by its brilliance.  Of course, having grown up with his songwriting, I was already a huge fan of everything he wrote but did think there was something extra special about the song.  Knowing him as a brother, I saw just how revealing it was about his often uneasy relationship with the world and his place in the scheme of things.  The closing line, “Who am I?” said it all for me.  It was a song to which I often returned, particularly after he was gone.

Eventually, I arrived at the idea of writing something that in some way linked to his original composition but told the story from my own perspective.  Not wanting to ride on his coat tails in any way, I felt very uneasy about doing this, so decided it was something I would do purely for myself.  It took many long months to come up with something I thought would be a worthy companion piece but the more I wrote, the more the idea took on a strength and shape of it’s own until I had fashioned it exactly as I wanted it to be.

It took quite some time to summon up the courage to play it to Gary, thinking if he thought it was any good, I might take it further.  When he said that he thought that it was one of the best songs I’d ever written (something I really didn’t expect) and that I should send it to Hans, it had an overwhelmingly emotional effect on me, particularly since I was very doubtful about playing it to anyone else at all.

Hans always has a way of emotionally inhabiting the songs I write and the arrangement he produced was exactly what I felt the song needed.  There’s no doubt in my mind that if he and Bri had ever played together, they’d have created musical dreams that would spread throughout the universe.

Today, the 22 August 2021, marks the ninth anniversary of Bri’s death and I can only hope that this song does him justice.  We miss him more than ever.  (Terry Reeves)

How can I write a song about the stellar writer?
Breathing music in space, helping bands to be tighter
A Bishop’s marriage of schemes inside your wigwam 
As the cluster of stars reflects only you as it can 

CHORUS 
If the stars are the Dreams of spacemen
Floating around by imagination 
Adjusting scope to seat the nightmares 
A magnetic field of dreams 
With musical chairs

A spaceman in search of the perfect mate
Floating through Galaxies more dreams of love can’t wait
Loving tears never seen behind a facial shield 
As the Milky Way melts revealing what Kepler’s laws might yield 

CHORUS 

I could never write the songs of stars
With your heart so full of love from here to Mars
The spaceship framed inside a past that lingers
Touching gravity with your skill of voice and fingers

CHORUS 

Isolations ending showing fusions of greatness 
Will never explain your skill of silence and lateness 
Knowing love as you do 
Making love a sad fool
I will never fully know who you are

“...from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...”
