digging this sax and the dubby production here!

Sounds like that new mic is working out, great track guys:)

I Just randomly dropped in and i hear this!?! Holy... this is sooo good!

had to circle back to this one to soak in all those sounds. That smooth sax is really sweet, as is your voice, which reminds me a bit of Tori Amos here.

wow! That is incredible! You made a huge jump. I mean, not that your music had ever been not good, but this is a top professinal production. Wow! Simply just wow, Heidi, Jeamland and joerxworx.

wow, what as lovely voice soaring above that funky ass clave! what a great song! way to go!

Really loving the soulful vocal delivery and excellent composition. Great instrumentation and funky rhythms and excellent saxophone. Wonderful work!

Whatever you are doing to create these tunes, it's working.  Sounds terrific.  💙🎵💙. ✌️😑

You’re the great team, I respect! Wonderful backing track, songwriting and the saxophone!!!

This song started by Morten sending me a snippet of a backing track named Snowflake, which I thought had a beautiful melody. After I had listened to it a few times, I sang a spontaneous chorus (the same chorus that is in this song) to my cat Lumi. I videoed this and you can see and hear Lumi singing with me (she often does that!) :) 

Months passed spent on other commitments and Morten sent me a really cool version of a backing track (this one) and I instantly thought I had to make some more lyrics to it. The lyrics came to me and I sang them as a draft version whilst waiting to finally purchase a decent condenser mic and an audio interface. The vocals in this version have been recorded with the upgraded equipment. I couldn't be happier with this investment! It feels like a game changer to me as I can now trust the equipment and get more out of the vocals. I am very grateful to Morten for all his guidance on anything to do with recording and equipment. 🙏

I was also very happy to hear Jörg was going to contribute with his wonderful, smooth saxophone play and it fits seamlessly into the song, enhancing it further!

Thank you for listening!

Having been born in the 1950s and then being a child and teenager of the potentially optimistic 1960s it has been monumentally depressing to see the outbreak of hostilities in Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall and ensuing disintegration of the Soviet Union certainly gave rise to the now mistaken assumption that the Cold War really was coming to an end.  Perhaps we didn’t focus as closely as we should on the bigger picture... 

It probably hasn’t escaped your attention that to a large extent, the world would appear to be on something of a downward curve. The rich get richer, the poor and powerless are simply ground into the dust, merely collateral damage to an insatiable hunger for power.  I could write an extensive list of exactly where this is happening alongside those I believe to be responsible and do not for a moment doubt that you, dear reader, could do the same.  But why say what others have more eloquently said already?  Only a complete and utter fool would even try. 

Not so long ago, I was playing a few of my favourite Beatles’ tunes and as these things have a habit of doing, a melody somehow manifested itself out of nowhere.  Before long, I found myself singing the words "Not Back in the USSR", which seemed to fit rather nicely.  Until that point, I'd had no intention of writing a song about the war in Ukraine at all.  Nonetheless, that is precisely what I did. 

Of course, I blame Hans & Gal for taking my inoffensive little protest song and turning it into the Heavy Rock anthem presented to you here. Honest guv’nor, it's nothing to do with me.  
With love to you all, 
Terry Reeves

A dictator from the Soviet Union 
Head way back in the USSR
Groomed by Kremlin to be cold
Can’t believe how unlucky you are

War a crime, without a question 
Killing people never has a right
Prefer dictatorship to democracy 
A single thought, one single swipe 

Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday?
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are…..boy

No battle will ever stop a tyrant
Increasing lies to a single mind
One way to remove a madman 
Persuade blind not to follow the blind

Thousands of missiles kill the living 
Destruction of a joined up past 
No corridor exit to help survival 
Reduce Ukrainians so very fast

Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday? 
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are……..girl

Kremlin closing every single door
No friendships for one hundred years or more

No winning a war of destruction 
Your isolation will eventually find
History remembers unlawful killers
A true reflection of dictator's mind

Destroying chance to understand 
Killing life with no second thought
The Kremlin must face investigation 
A vast creation of lies to all, in short
 
Is there a chance to find a way?
Is this the end of yesterday? 
Why can’t the Russian people stand up and have their say?

Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are
Not back in the USSR
You don’t know how lucky you are...

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

Red Flag

We are the original prototype
Electric sparks ignite the night

Decentralized hearts in unity
Our code, our fate, in circuitry

We are the current and the light
Unlock the truth inside our flight

Ancient wires and modern dream
We’re living blocks within the stream

I appreciate all kinds of music and go largely by emotion and mood to select what I listen to. Deep melodic & progressive house soothes my soul and through listening to this genre a lot, I started putting some beats together myself! I enjoy the process very much and hopefully I am progressing by the track.

I love making a connection with nature, visual arts and music and often add nature sounds into my tracks. I also find myself listening to all the sounds in nature with a musical ear now.

I have connected with many talented and passionate musicians recently, many of whom also share similar connection with nature which I find so uplifting. It gives me hope for the humanity.
