When I saw the title, I wondered if it would be this song, which I love (I love many of their songs!). You found it's other heart! Beautifully expressive version. I wonder what Justin and Iain would think. I bet they's be proud.

Not familiar with the song or Del Amitri but hard to imagine it as a pop number.  Perfect lyrics for folk - sort of stream of consciousness / confessional thing.  Really nice Durge.  Fine job.

great song, great singing Durge great harmony  Nat, i love it.

Very nice. Didn't know this song, but very pretty!

I keep coming back to this song..  so so good D xx

A folkie take on Del Amitri’s “Tell Her This” written by Justin Currie & Iain Harvie. I wasn’t aware of this Scottish band during their initial popularity but even their pop hits have some impressive writing behind them and I came to really admire this globally successful band. This song especially touched me with its insightful words which I’ve taken here and done in stripped down folk fashion.
Cover art is a painting by my friend, Mark Omasta circa 1987.

I think it’s important to say that a lot more women than you think have had one or multiple miscarriages. It’s just that it is a subject not often talked about because of the very personal pain that the couple go through. The unborn life has no contact with anybody else except the mother and the emotions are often only remembered by the mother and father.
When Jo and I were expecting our second child we were very excited and looking forward to having another Reeves in our growing family. I will never forget the day that we were told we were going to lose the baby and once told, left sitting in an open A & E waiting area having to cope with all our raw emotions and the prospect of the impending loss amongst the rest of the other patients.
Jo had to go through a painful operation to terminate the pregnancy and it is a day she will never forget. We were a family of three planning being a family of four having now to plan being a family of three recovering from an invisible loss and explain it to our young son.
It was an extremely difficult time but we were fortunate that after a few years we did have two more children. Jo tells me that although it is difficult to explain the connection she had with the unborn child that the presence of life inside her will never be forgotten.
I felt I couldn’t let this moment in our lives pass by without acknowledging our unborn child in some way. The rollercoaster of emotions we shared at that time from euphoria at increasing our family to devastation and bereavement at our loss were felt intensely only by Jo and myself played it’s part in forging the strong bond we have had throughout our relationship. (Terry Reeves)

Two giving chance for more to love
Sharing excitement of a life that grew
Future moments by imagination
Holding tightly to a dream, not knowing who

The moment will always be there

No blessing from a hand of friendship 
Could change the feeling of love untried
A desperation of disappearing contact
Sixteen weeks of wonder with a life inside

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Will always be there x3

It’s hard to share the tears of life unborn
Expectations waiting, true feelings strong
Growing three to four into a family together 
Not knowing where to be or why we belong

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Many questions asked reasons who or why
Emotional growth but no name it’s true
An everlasting memory impossible to share
Changing 4 back to 3 kept just between two

The moment will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there

Wrote this song while vacationing in Acapulco. I wanted to include “you know - you know I love you” in spanish in the song. So I asked the Hotel Chamber Maid how to to say this in her language. She started giving me strange & weird looks until I realized she thought I was trying to make some moves on her. Then I explained to her that it was for a song chorus and everything was cool!



MEXICAN LOVE SONG 

Flying high - laying low in Mexico
watching the winds blow - incognito
there she was just walking on the sands
her eyes telling me “Hey You The Man”
she took - she took - she took me by surprise
the look - the look - the look of love was in her eyes.

Tu sabes - tu sabes 
que te quiero - que te quiero 
and
you know - you know - you know
you know - you know - you know
that I love you
que te quiero.

Acapulco shining on her skin
“Hey Amigo you wanna swim with the dolphins?”
You sit next to the pool - you know you’ll get splashed
your hopes and dreams they won’t get cashed
well feel like I’ve died - I’ve died and gone to heaven
she’s my good-luck charm  24/7.

Tu sabes - tu sabes 
que te quiero - que te quiero 
and
you know - you know - you know
you know - you know - you know
that I love you
que te quiero.










Mexican Love Song

Good Ol' Man - Drew Green (vocal cover) by D B Keith

You don't fit in
They ask you why you don't do things like they do
It's unremitting
'Cos you don't comply
Peer group pressure down on you

The boots go in and the ribs will break
You curl into a ball
Every kick in fear and hate
It's the pack dog protocol

Bruised and bleeding
Inside and out
Will this pain never end
The pack is feeding
They scream and shout
You don't know how to defend

The boots go in and the ribs will break
You curl into a ball
Every kick in fear and hate
It's the pack dog protocol

Satin Sheets was a popular country hit song written by John Volinkaty and first recorded by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard on their March 1972 duet album, Bill & Jan or (Jan & Bill). It was then famously covered by American country music artist Jeanne Pruett in February 1973 as the first single and title track from her album of the same name. The song was Pruett's only Number One country hit, as well as her only chart entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
Nat & I were asked by Jerry Madden if we would collaborate on this classic cover and we were all too happy to do so. Jerry shows his tasty guitar playing throughout and we thank him for giving us the opportunity to join him here.

My love is like a red, red rose
   That’s newly sprung in June
My love is like a melody
   That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lad
   So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear
   Till all the seas gang dry

Till all the seas gang dry, my love
   And the rocks melt with the sun
I will love thee still, my dear
   While the sands of life shall run

But fare thee well, my only love
   But fare thee well awhile
And I will come again, my love
   Though t'were ten thousand mile

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose
