I saw your YouTube. It’s DIY, just like I like it.

Stunning groove Jim, giving me a much needed injection of sunshine and energy

I leave you here this Spanish Fantasy that aims to translate in the form of a fantastic serenade the spirit of those lands and their people, being on the other hand autonomous music that represents in my imagination many and sometimes indefinite feelings.

Spanish fantasy.

life is a journey and music is my soundtrack to it ,i wrote this song traveling around south Portugal at the start of summer 2022 and at the tail end of a 2 year pandemic when travel was no longer possible or an option ..
I hope i have captured some of the energy and sights and sounds of this trip and found signs of life

“Second Passacaglia for String Orchestra” was completed in July, 2022 in Fairview, TX. 

From the composer's publisher Creative Spirit OnLine: "Brooks’s Second Passacaglia unfolds broodingly over a 17-bar, slowly moving bass line in cellos and basses, while the variations above increase in movement and intensity until finally arriving at a subdued and haunting final cadence."

The work is in one movement. Performance time is about 10 minutes. 
Printed and electronic scores and parts are available from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com
A virtual recording of this work is posted on www.soundcloud.com/robert-john-brooks.

Performance notes:
•	Tempo, expression, and dynamic markings should be strictly observed.
•	There is no key signature. Accidentals apply to the end of the measure or to the note or notes tied over the measure, and only to notes of the same pitch class, in the same octave.
•	Hairpin pairs (e.g.: mp <>, mf ><) indicate a temporary volume change of one dynamic level.
•	Passages marked  fff  or ppp  indicate playing as loudly and as quietly as possible, respectively.
•	Double-bass “C-extension” is required.

Second Passacaglia for String Orchestra

Many years ago, at one point I accidentally noticed the chorus of some of my songs were inter-changeable. From then onwards, I made serious efforts for my songs to sound not so alike. I know I am not a decent singer but as a songwriter, I would be very glad if listeners can differentiate between my songs.

This new entry here is another love song mainly inspired by a drama. The purple rose is the closest song pic I could find as I think the petals do look like lips. Just see what you think.

Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Feelings I never showed
Embedded in stories untold
Love sounds we built underground
Too much for this heart to hold

Songs that never rhymed
Revelry that once was mine
Tried so hard to be with each other
Always ran out of time

CHORUS
Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
You were there, beautiful & rare
Couldn't resist the purple kisses

Out of mind, out of reach, chances ditched but after all these years
You still appear in dreams

Memories of us seemed trite and pressure was never light
Drowned in an overworked affection
My thoughts remained with you

Instrumental

Time passed quickly by in the blink of eyes
How I missed the purple kisses
Longings sealed, passions unfilled
Carried away in the magic of your touch
…..haunted me so much

Repeat Chorus

Purple Kisses

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

FOUR TO THREE - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

This came out of a piece I'd been developing over a couple of weeks, searching for variations around a central theme on felt piano. After a couple of less than successful attempts at developing the track with a fixed bpm I ended up freestyling it as an improv with some subtle drones from Spitfire labs Foghorn, a unique and free library of sounds derived from recordings of the Sumburgh head Foghorn on Shetland. 
One of the options in the labs library is a selection of engine room noises from the two diesel engines that power the foghorn, I wondered whether the engine room could stand in for percussion on the track and here is the result. Thanks for taking time out to check it out.

While on my own i find myself lost in the past
maybe i should step back and leave well alone
For there you are ready to receive me
feel safe and warm wrapped in the arms of emily

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

you were gone in a blink of an eye
i should have come and whispered goodbye
 i was young but it doesnt ease the hurting
age is not an excuse its all i have

long ago wished i could have told you so
such a long time ago ooh how i loved you so
ooh how i loved you so....emily

This piece is expressly composed to honor my father. He died in 1956 as a consequence of the penalties suffered in the concentration camps after the Spanish civil war. I was six years old. Life didn't give us much time to be together.
