I arrived in London in early ‘71 and landed on the Holland Road, Shepherd’s Bush not long after.
My good pal Julie Lewis (from Durham) with whom I’d worked with in Sydney, had digs there and invited me to stay. Nonetheless I found it a challenging place to be after Sydney, Summer, beaches, family and gigs. Amongst Julie’s record collection was Nick Drake’s 'Bryter Later' which brought solace to me as I often felt very alone and completely at a loss as to how to navigate London town.

Years later I was to learn that Freddie Mercury was living just a few doors down from us on the Holland Road...no I never knew him...but when I wrote the lyric it seemed apt to pay homage to Freddie and our collective dreams. I’m so happy with Cripple Club’s interpretation of the lyrics, bringing to life a musical collage that depicts the highs and lows of living on the Holland Road through my first cold winter! From my heart; thank you Terry & Gary Reeves; you are two soulful & gifted brothers; I feel so indebted to you both and to Hans Albers for his powerful musical contributions. Thank you, everyone, for listening. (Janice Slater)

Having been such a good friend to us over the years, it has been such an honour to work with Janice on this song. It is dedicated to every one of the beautiful friends we have made here on the Cloud. Thank you all for the support you have given to our music. The last ten years have been filled with such wonderful memories. Much love to you all. (Gary & Terry Reeves)

I’m standing on the fraying edge
Of golden russet gown
Everything’s evolving
Spinning and turning my head around

A familiar voice insulted
And 'Bryter Later's so understated
There’s evidence of a circumstantial nature
But once again, I don’t feel the danger

(Spoken) But now I’m declining all invitations...

I hear the doorbell
But there’s just a stranger
Standing on the fraying edge of fear
Of a city without pity and you’re not near

Freddie he’s walking
Heading down the street
Just like me
The snow and sleet under his feet

Oh but we’ve yet to meet
Looking down the Holland Road
Nobody can see us
Standing on the fraying edge

(Spoken) I was just like you Freddie, looking for that song...

Or three or four
We are looking for salvation
On the Holland Road
And Shepherds Bush Station

Freddie he’s still walking, heading down the street
Just like him, singing music for trick or treat

(Spoken) Oh but we’ve yet to meet…

GUITAR BREAK

(Spoken) Just around the corner from…
Portobello Road
On the fraying edge (repeat x 8)
Of a fraying town

Lyrics:-
Draw me a picture for my latest song
Show me my options say it can't go wrong
Give me some answers to my worries now
Give me some answers now

It will feel oh so nice
Friend for life
It will be there by your side
A.I.
It can do the things you don't
Good advice
It can be the things you won't
A.I.

Create a playlist of forgotten songs
Surprise my ears and keep 'em coming strong
Write me a classic I can call my own
But secretly don't own

It's our intension that can use these tools
For good or bad it's us that make the rules
With healthy reasons for the pure of heart
C'mon let's make a start

Donde siempre

A soft hymn for those who have dared to believe.

"If We Are Wrong (The Radiant Mistake)" is not a lament—it is a celebration of loving despite uncertainty. A song for those who would choose resonance over silence, every time.

We would rather be wrong with love than right without song.

If We Are Wrong

If We Are Wrong (The Radiant Mistake)

✨as you wish✨

Born and raised in Stonington, Connecticut, Jeff was instilled with a love of music at an early age. Marc Cohn’s self-titled album and Van Morrison’s “Greatest Hits” in Dad’s truck…the Blues Brothers 2000 Soundtrack and Springsteen’s “Nebraska” in the living room…

Jeff’s musical style, an eclectic blend of folk and rock influences, is grounded in the songwriting of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Cat Stevens, and The Beatles.

In recent years, writing and performing music has presented Jeff with meaningful opportunities for personal and artistic growth. He’s ever-excited to experience what the next show, the next collaboration, and the next recording session have in store; moreover, he’s excited to share these experiences with friends, family, and listeners. *** Jeff Lewis has performed throughout southern New England and the tri-state area alongside talented musicians: Kyle Behnken (of RBNX), Ben Freiert, Gray Hallberg (of Wooly Mammoth), Brian Merritt & Dave Schena. He has recorded with: Brad Bensko (of Bearded Cat Production), Kyle Guertin, Kathleen Parks (of Twisted Pine), and Celeste Krishna.

Just Like You
