ONE UNGUARDED MOMENT
Written by Terry Reeves, 1985  Recorded 1988  Remastered by Adrian Heathcote 2014

In all probability, the most important and meaningful song ever to be posted on the page.  I'll let Terry explain why.  (Gary Reeves)

My brother Gary and I were at our Nan's bedside at the hospice when the medication kicked in and there was no more communication . I had never faced death before - it was my worst moment. This song is about that moment. When I first played it to my elder brother Brian he said it was the best song he had ever heard. That was good enough for me.
We lost Brian in 2012 at the young age of 63 and his family asked permission to play it at his funeral which, of course, was my privilege. I wish there could have been many more unguarded moments with my Bri.  (Terry Reeves)


One unguarded moment I saw you cry
Memories brought you to your knees
A plea for life inside your head
That unguarded moment I thought I saw you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

One unguarded moment I heard you laugh
No fear inside the noise
Hearing sounds which need no sense
That unguarded moment I thought I heard you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by the mile

Middle

Many guarded moments you pass me by
All feelings inside your frame
Words and meanings have lost their way
Many guarded moments at least I see you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

to see the clouds from above is always a special and sublime experience for me. Incredibly beautiful, completely timeless and a bit surreal.
