The Greek Goddess Gaia is the mother of all things, she is the earth, the sea, and the sky. It is time once again to revere our natural surroundings, the earth, nature, for what it is; the giver of life to all of us here who inhabit this place. 

Gaia

YES WE ARE
Written by Rocky Mountain, April 1973   Recorded 24/10/1973

Despite ending it's final incarnation as a folk club duo, The Norman Chop Trio (well we obviously thought it was hilarious…) began life as a pop band, mainly to play Bri's new songs.  Somehow, he managed to swing a contract with a company called 'Compass Music', who just happened to also be publishing Leo Sayer's early hits.  Course, in the fullness of time, we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of success, something at which we did become rather good.  They were very nice to us, considering... 
However, on the plus side, it was a time when Bri wrote some of his best songs.  'Yes We Are' was a 'Compass' favourite and the song, I like to think, still stands up really well.  But you'll be the judge of that.  (Gary Reeves)

In a moment we are here
In a moment we are gone
Drops of mercury moon air
Silver shimmers in your hair
Take this second from a night
Be a story in your dreams
Be a lover, be a queen

(CHORUS)
Are we lonely in the night?
Yes we are, oh yes we are
And are we fearful, are we tight?
Yes we are, oh yes we are

In a casket in your heart
Lies the treasure, lies the love
Lightly locked a part of me
Find the answer, find the key
Draw the joker from the pack
For a gamble, for a fling
Joker’s wild to be a king

Repeat chorus

Got home from work one day
My baby met me at the door
She had that look on in her eyes
No man can’t ask for more

When my baby feels it
I get lost in all her lovin’
Don’t want no street jivin’
Don’t want no dice with the boys

Baby loves me when the sun goes down
Baby needs me, when the sun goes down
She’s got big laigs and knows how to squeeze
Gonna leave my hat on the rack and stay in bed
Baby’s feeling the love, got some whiskey for the head

I work all day just so I can pay
Baby waits for daddy all day
Just get me through some way
Get me back to my baby today

Don’t want no fuss from my boys
Don’t need no pool hall blues
Just kick off my workin’ boots
Her lovin’ I can’t refuse

Baby loves me when the sun goes down
Baby needs me, when the sun goes down
She’s got big laigs and knows how to squeeze
Gonna leave my hat on the rack and stay in bed
Baby’s feeling the love, got some whiskey for the head

Baby’s feeling the love, I’m gonna stay in bed
Baby’s feeling the lovin’, I’m gonna stay in bed

Love Over Logic

Mad Love

Everyone at times wishes we had a second chance once in a while. Unfortunately more often than not we don't, so make the best of everything in your life and have no regrets later.

Second Chances Would Be Sublime

Verse 1:
Sunrise breaking, the masts begin to creak,
Leaving the familiar, watching the currents streak.
Got your last letter, a promise I can't forget,
Headed for the Baltic , no turning back, no regret.
Every wave is whisperin', a secret I can feel,
To that city built on water, where dreams become so real.

Chorus:
Oh, I'm Swept Away By Love, sailing far and wide,
Got that feeling deep inside, nowhere left to hide.
Across the northern waters, beneath a silver moon,
To St. Petersburg, baby, I'm coming to you soon!
My heart is beating rhythm, a message on the breeze,
Swept Away By Love, falling to my knees!

Verse 2:
Nevá’s glitter, bridge lights softly gleam,
Met you in the crowd, like a waking dream.
Walked the streets for hours, past the palace walls,
Heard your laugh echo through the cobbled halls.
Every word a promise, every touch a spark,
Dancing through the White Nights, banishing the dark.

Verse 3:
Took you to a restaurant, crystal, silver bright,
Felt like kings and queens, bathed in golden light.
Talked about forever, plans we’d make someday,
Never saw the shadow creeping in your way.
Then a glance, a whisper, a silent, swift goodbye,
Just a fading echo, beneath the morning sky.

Bridge:
Where’d you go, that bird that flew?
Did you just not like me, or was it never true?
The magic disappeared, the spell began to break,
Left me standing lonely, for goodness sake!

Chorus:
Oh, I'm Swept Away By Love, sailing far and wide,
Got that feeling deep inside, nowhere left to hide.
Across the northern waters, beneath a silver moon,
To St. Petersburg, baby, I'm coming to you soon!
My heart is beating rhythm, a message on the breeze,
Swept Away By Love, falling to my knees!

Swept Away by Love

Quiet Friday

Songwriter/lyricist/musician. Not so diluted to think I am a great singer, but give it my best. All instruments and vocals on my recordings, including all mistakes, are my doing. Just love the process and the message. Hope you enjoy something here.
