Et Après

Et Après nous, man, que restera-t-il ?
quand nous ne serons plus que des poussières inutiles
bien malgré nous, man, souvenirs futiles
d'une vie souvent rasoir et vécue sur le fil

Deviendrons nous, man, de vieux fossiles ?
quelques mots dans l'histoire oubliée d'une ville
mais ne crois pas , man, que cela est facile, 
quand la vie choisit pour nous des routes si fragiles

Et Après nous, man, que restera-t-il ?

Et Après ....(Arnaud Tranquil) - Riddim from Jon K.T Lindley

On The Sea

With things so bleak and frightening at the moment, I thought a wee fun country number might bring a smile or two, for a moment anyway.
For the lovely Finse, Happy Birthday my dear! <3

A call to SoundCloud to actually operate with content on their servers like they say they want to. The reality is very different and in my view just shows they exist for maximum profit like the rest of streaming platforms and not for the good of music

The Darkening Cloud (Poem and Notes)

An original song by J.J. Terrell

Left Behind

It’s really about the nights we shared
Underneath all the stars

Now that we’re apart, it’s hard to breathe
Thinking of the love, the dreams we weave.

Oh babe I need you back, it’s true

Memories linger, they haunt my mind
Every lonely moment, I’m left behind
I see your face in the setting sun
Without you here, I’m all but done

Time keeps passing, but the ache won’t fade
Our song still plays, in every serenade
If you could hear me, would you find your way
Back to my arms, where your heart should stay?

Ohhh babe, I need you back

Memories linger, they haunt my mind
Every lovely moment, I’m with you
I see your face in the setting sun
Without you here, I’m all but done

Oh babe, I need you back
It’s true


Left Behind

The 6th Sense (Remix)

Cyber Choir (2025)

I don't know who I am
I don't know where I am
It's one AM and I want you
I don't know what I am
I don't know if I am
It's one AM and I want you
You're the arms that don't want me
You're the eyes that haunt me
You were taken from me in my infancy
Now I want you back
I want you back
I don't know a thing about
I'm filled with doubt
It's one AM and I want you
Between heaven and hell
I don't know where you dwell
It's one AM and I want you
Why do you why do you why do you why do you torment me
What did I ever do to you
What do you what do you what do you what do you want from me
Why won't you let me be, let me be
I'm walking a dangerous street
Unfamiliar to me
It's one AM and I want you
I can hear your laughter
I'll never have you
It's one AM and I want you
Like this...
I don't know who I am
I don't know where I am
But it's one AM and I want you
I don't know what I am
I don't know if I am
It's one AM and I want you
It's one AM and I want you

One AM

MUSICA SCONNESSA (Disjointed Music)

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Recorded and mixed at the TLSS studio, Homerton (May-Oct. 2015
Terry Reeves: Vocals
Steph Laporte: Clarinets
Nik Paravatos: Guitar / Bass / Synths /Effects and Noises
Gary Reeves: Drums

I have always enjoyed being a Dad but things do change so incredibly fast.  One moment you’re getting them ready for school and in seemingly double-quick time, they’re all grown up, with all of the problems the transition into adulthood inevitably entails.  They acquire ‘significant others’, some of whom you like and some you’re pretty sure are never going to make the cut.  From a distance, you look on with increasing interest, watching them struggle with the intricacies of romantic involvement.
This song involves the machinations of my youngest son’s relationship with one particular girlfriend, who seemed to have an issue with any form of commitment.  Sometimes she’d show up out of the blue, wanting to spend every moment with him, then disappear into the ether and not contact him for days.
He and I had quite a few Father to Son conversations about her, primarily because we were both concerned about her mental wellbeing.  He’d try to contact her to check if everything was alright, often without success.  Then, without warning, she’d be back on the scene, the whole merry-go-round starting all over again.  I did my level best to help but she truly was an enigma and I was never really sure if what I had to say was helping the situation.  As with many such tricky equations in life, no obvious solution came to light and things slowly ground to a halt.  To this day, though, he says she was one of the most confusing people he ever met.
As is my habit, I decided to write a song about her, calling it ‘Take’ because it was an anagram of her name (by all means have a guess…), hoping to delineate the complexities of the things she both said and did.  Gal really loved the song and going through a marriage break-up as he was at the time, asked if he could contribute a few lines to the lyrics as a way of describing the bewilderment he was feeling, which proved an interesting window into his thinking.
Our brilliant engineer Nick thought slowing it down would give it a kind of Massive Attack feel, an approach that suited it to a tee.  But we needed something else, something magical in the mix, so Gal suggested asking our good friend Steph Laporte (‘DDJohn’ to his SC friends) to record a lead break along with some additional, extra-slurpy licks on his clarinet.  Steph is a wonderful player and as I’m sure you’ll agree, his contribution proved exactly what was needed.  It’s a real favourite of mine - so different from anything we’ve done before.  By the way, anyone worked out that anagram yet?  (Terry Reeves)

Would like to thank Gordon (https://soundcloud.com/gordon_m) for his invaluable help.  I sent him a copy of the penultimate mix and he was good enough to return a detailed list of possible adjustments, all of which were entirely spot-on and made the job of getting the final mix completed in the allotted hour very achievable, something in some doubt but for his assistance. 
(Gary Reeves)

You can say what you like but don’t say what you want to
You can think what you like but don’t think like you need to
You want to like how you look but don’t look how you like to
You never see in the dark ‘cause the darkness is inside you

Guarded observations unexplained
Is there any need?

You like to hide from the truth but the truth always finds you
You want to stay out of sight when you’re always in full-view
How can you look to the past when there’s so much behind you?
How can you be brand new with those voices to remind you?

Redundant complications unexplained
Is there any need?

You never sing out of key when the music suits you
How can the melody change when the words serve to mute you?
You laugh so loud when your good friends entertain you
You don’t understand that the real joke is about you

Another conversation unexplained
