Most of us at one time or another have been home alone under certain conditions where the night seems to take on a life of its own. Creaking and outdoor noises build up in your head. The darkness outside your door casts an unsettling shroud over you. Your imagination runs wild and you fill with that fear of the unknown with every noise and silence. And when the halloween spirits are awakened each year, it gets particularly intense....this quirky original song hopes to embrace that fear.

Lyrics:
As the daylight goes, I know
That the shadows soon will grow
Creatures from below, they know
They’re free beneath the moonlight’s glow

Free from their shackles,
Free to howl and cackle
Slithering to hither and yon
Torturing the night
With hideous delight 
Hissing till they’re missing with the dawn

But when the sun goes low, I know
That the ill winds will start to blow
Then the night will moan, in woe 
I pull down the shades and I lock the doors

Creeping from the forest
Haunting with their chorus
Chilling as a killing on the lawn
But I don’t have the nerve
To look out and observe
The hissing till they’re missing with the dawn

Ohhhh, I don’t want to know
What demons there that go
Ohhhh, I don’t want to know
I just don’t want to know....

Torturing the night
With hideous delight 
Hissing till they’re missing with the dawn

I Don’t Want To Know

Mountain Songs is a project dedicated to my brother Brian Reeves (aka Rocky Mountain, 1948–2012), an accomplished songwriter, guitarist and arranger.  He was the creative force behind so many of the songs on this page.  If you have time, please click for lyrics and track history. 
This is for you Bri, with love and thanks from us all.   We miss you. (Gary Reeves)

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. My music is free from AI and always will be.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

Still working down my pile of unfinished projects and re-releasing older songs. Feel free to comment and repost. As a rule of thumb, electronic music is old. I don't have the capacity for collaborations and remixes.

We are two old friends from KY. Posting songs we recorded many years ago on Tascam cassette recorders...and starting to get together to write and record again on a Tasccam DP24 when our dad schedules allow...hopefully we'll have some new ones to post soon.
