Great playing, nice progression, an original...

Au risque de me répéter ; superbe 👏👏👏

you were my favourite musical discovery on this site in 2023....great work

Musically brilliant, you handle all the changes (in feel and tempo) with such precision and authority. Great listen.

I open my eyes
It's time to go
And start the show
And even if I don't feel like it
I hear a voice
I've got no choice
I just wanted to sing
Above all keep my wings

I would have liked you to explain my role
In this play I feel like a puppet that swings
And in this world where chaos takes its toll
I see that crazy people are pulling the strings

Yet if the spotlights blind me
I can still make my mind, hey !
I'm looking for some meaning
A song with rhyme
But it seems reason's a crime
And deep inside, a soul is awakening 
For a glimpse of light
To reclaim the night

I would have liked you to explain my role
In this play i feel like a puppet that swings
And in this world where chaos takes its toll
I see that crazy people are pulling the strings

And in this masquerade
In a world of charades
The puppets twirl and spin and sway
 
Amidst the madness, yet a glimmer of hope
A puppet rebels, no longer bound by the rope
In this theater I will find the way
With some others we will rewrite the play

I guess I've finally understood my role
For I'm more than the puppet they thought I'd be
And now i count to three
No one to control me
I'll free all the puppets I'll see !

One
(no one can stop me)
Two
(no one can stop me)
Three !

J'ouvre les yeux
Il est temps d'y aller
Et de commencer le spectacle
Et même si je n'en ai pas envie
J'entends une voix
Je n'ai pas le choix
Je voulais juste chanter
Et surtout garder mes ailes

J'aurais aimé que tu m'expliques mon rôle
Dans cette pièce je me sens comme une marionnette qui se balance
Et dans ce monde où le chaos fait des ravages
Je vois que des fous tirent les ficelles

Mais si les projecteurs m'aveuglent
Je peux encore décider !
Je cherche un sens
Une chanson avec des rimes
Mais il semble que la raison soit un crime
Et au fond de moi, une âme s'éveille 
Pour une lueur d'espoir
Pour reconquérir la nuit

J'aurais aimé que vous m'expliquiez mon rôle
Dans cette pièce, je me sens comme une marionnette qui se balance
Et dans ce monde où le chaos fait des ravages
Je vois que des fous tirent les ficelles

Et dans cette mascarade
Dans un monde de charades
Les marionnettes tournent, tournent et se balancent
 
Au milieu de la folie, une lueur d'espoir
Une marionnette se rebelle, elle n'est plus liée par la corde
Dans ce théâtre, je trouverai la voie
Avec d'autres, nous réécrirons la pièce

Je crois que j'ai enfin compris mon rôle
Car je suis plus que la marionnette qu'ils pensaient que je serais
Et maintenant je compte jusqu'à trois
Personne pour me contrôler
Je libérerai toutes les marionnettes que je verrai !

Un
(personne ne peut m'arrêter)
Deux
(personne ne peut m'arrêter)
Trois !

The Puppet

Now uploaded final version. 

I don't usually offer interpretations, but this one is about any of the many things that can tempt us and lead us away from joy. But the problem is maybe there isn't enough joy in the first place. I've filed a complaint with the universe, we'll see.

Sometimes I think I'm just putting Led Zeppelin, Stephen Stills, and Curtis Mayfield into a blender and calling it new...

Take You Down

I can take you down
I can bring you right down put your face down to it
I can wait around ready for you

you are free to change your mind
you are free to leave this life behind
there's an open door but you don't go through it

I try to get away clean but you got me in a hold
you put your fingers in my head and I loose control
how will I ever be satisfied

I can help with the pain for a little while
cause you know it really just ain't my style
to let you feel what I'm doing when I'm doin it

got what I need and I need it
where does it end now
now that I've paid with my freedom

I just want to be free from all the craving of the night
I wanna hear a voice that leads me back to the light

hey but will there ever come a time when I feel it?

REPRISE
I could see it there in my mind
something I had lost, that I'd left behind
now that I know the season will be mine
the light on my horizon is shining all the time

Take You Down w Reprise

Small Song

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

As a very experienced and qualified practitioner, my brother Bri’s widow Sue has always been a believer in the homeopathic approach to life.  A vegan since her late teens, she truly walks the talk and has never been afraid to stand tall against the herd, no matter that this can often bring her into conflict with the mainstream.  Admittedly, I do not follow either of these creeds but it does have to be said that my own opinions aren’t exactly conventional either, so am a huge admirer of her courage to speak up for the things she considers right.  It takes strength and resolution to stand your ground when all around seem to be against you - and stand her ground she does. 

Sue is a true supporter of our music.  Always interested in what we are doing, her positive feedback is something that means a great deal to us.  Recently, she asked to listen to some of our more recent songs and was particularly taken with ‘My Atheist Angels’, since it deals with issues that are very close to my heart.  As we chatted, she surprised me by asking if I’d ever consider writing a song that represented her feelings and life choices, something I’d never been asked before.  

For me, the writing process is never straightforward because songs most often appear completely out of the ether.  I hardly ever make straightforward choices about them, allowing grains to sprout of their own accord whilst I’m just sitting around strumming my guitar.  Occasionally, those initial seeds take years to grow into a shape that pleases me, let alone one that may please someone else.  

So in answer to her question, I didn’t say yes but then again I didn’t say no, feeling that the only way forward was to gather some thoughts about her and hope that somewhere along the line, these would bring into existence a tune that pleased the  both of us.  As luck would have it, everything dropped into place much more quickly than I’d imagined and here is the song I created for her.  As I write, she doesn’t even have the faintest idea it even exists, so we will have to wait and see whether it is everything she hoped it would be.  Let’s hope so…. (Terry Reeves)

Roots of existence remain deeply underground 
Hiding from destruction most scientists have found 
Politicians manoeuvre with an honesty of believers
Not treating with kindness, natural self achievers 

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

Vaccination of hope killing antibodies of prevention  
Not understanding opinion of a personal protection 
Homeopathic practice with a care for entire person
No apologies of achievement, truth is always certain

It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

It’s a regretful crime
Politicians design
Looking for a sign
No time to re-define
Hottest sun to shine:
No chance to climb 
Slide down the slime
Running out of time

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

An equality of opinion but never dictating needs
Important to be heard, chance of choosing seeds
A want to be free and understanding of respect 
Information of direction, not experiment neglect 

It’s a fear of mine…….It’s a life of mine 

No intention of disturbing change planetary axis 
Love the living but concerned possible malpractice 
Planting for survival total respect for all the animals 
Conviction of beliefs, removing doubter’s manacles 
 
It’s a love of mine…….It’s a life of mine…

Lyrics:

I lost my patience
Did you take it?
When you created the infinite scroll
It take two seconds
The first impressions
I swipe and move on
But you're in control now

Scrolling through a steady stream of nothing
Searching for something

I get hooked on the little hits
And I can't snap out of it
You're doing me damage
But I can't break the habit
You chew me up 
And you spit me out
But I'll be coming back around
Any minute now
There'll be something beautiful
What will I find in the digital landfill

I'm spinning on a spit like meat
Is it true 
I'm a cog in the machine of your dreams
I'm prone as a product
I'm your asset
And you're selling me out
What is this deal we struck
I wanna give it up
I don't remember signing up
I don't remember signing up for this

I get hooked on the little hits
And I can't snap out of it
But I can't live without
Cos I might miss something important
You chew me up 
And you spit me out
But I'll be coming back around
Any minute now
There'll be something beautiful
What will I find in the digital landfill

Little hits of dopamine
Little hits of dopamine

Little Hits

Track written for my mom. To late I learned, forgive-forget. Miss you.

MAMA'S STAR (Where does time go?)

Hello. I love different kind of music and try no to stay in a comfortable style. In a song my priorities go to melody and harmony but what counts in the end is the emotional impact of the song. I do everything by myself with my DAW and i am therefore also interested by tips in mixing or on composition. I'd be glad to share advises and receive feedback and comments. Wish you all the joy and pleasure that only music can bring. 

Those who inspired me and who always have a special place in my mind for their whole creation and their wonderful melodies : Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush. I tried some covers to remember some of their songs.

Thank you for listening.

Anglais ou Français ? Je n'ai pas de préférence pour la musique. Je vois bien que la langue que j'utilise influence ma manière de chanter et le style de la chanson en général et j'aime cette variété. 

Jetez aussi un oeil aux paroles. Elles sont sur toutes les chansons
