Gary and I have always been fascinated by the beauty of cloud formations. So when we first heard about SoundCloud, the very name piqued our collective imaginations before we'd even visited the site or posted any music. We started Mountain Songs nine short years ago and we've now had well over half a million plays on the page, something we could never have expected. 
The two of us have had many conversations about SoundCloud being like an imaginary village situated somewhere up in the clouds. In this village, there are lots of pubs and bars where we meet with other like-minded folks, occasionally stopping to play music together and share a hypothetical drink or three to oil the wheels of discussion. These hospitable watering holes may indeed be imaginary but the friendships made have been very real, meaningful and long-lasting.
This seemed like the ideal time to write a song about this fantastic village. Within the lyrics, you may read names you've never heard before but they are all, in some way, connected with cloud phenomena. If you're at all interested, do Google them and read their stories. It's fascinating stuff.
Of course, Hans picked up on the atmosphere of this one straight away and, as always, has produced a brilliant arrangement that took the song on to greater heights. He is just one of those with whom we not only collaborate musically but have also become close friends, alongside others such as Gordon Midgley and Arkestar. There are so many other names we could mention but we sincerely hope they know who they all are.
As many of you will be aware, neither Gary nor myself are getting any younger and age has brought with it a number of debilitating medical conditions that are making it harder and harder to stay as active on SoundCloud as we have been in the past. Gary has always been the one who maintains the day-to-day contact but his ongoing health problems are now starting to make that impossible. We continue to support each other as best we can and will be posting new songs when we get the opportunity. 
We're not saying goodbye here, more of a 'we’ll see you around when we can...’ 
This song is for all of you, our wonderful SoundCloud friends. With all our hearts, we thank you for the kindness and support you have shown over the last nine years. It really has meant the world to us. (Terry Reeves)

Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about the spillage

The cloud committee with thermal drafts
All around the world from Moon to Mars
Fish skin and fire giving rainbow skies
And many sounds heard avoid euphonious lies
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry about your image

A Nimbus cloud forming part of our friendship 
With an open gate to welcome McKendrick
Harmonic instruments played by the commune
As our voices scream, searching for the right tune
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part don’t worry about the beverage 
Welcome to the SoundCloud Village 
Come and play your part and make sure the world’s astonished
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry how long to finish

Columnas clouds covering every hamlet
With your head inside to avoid any bandit
Gavin Pretor-Pinney guides ukes to a mission
And shares music and clouds with all who listen
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part with moments to cherish

William Rankin rode hard and past thunder
With Lucy in The Sky, with diamonds up and under
In the cloudy village that never will be seen
Covering collaborations of musical dreams
Welcome to the SoundCloud village
Come and play your part and don’t worry it’s a privilege 
Welcome to the SoundCloud village (repeat….)

A lofi indie rock punk duet with Sophie Joanne https://soundcloud.com/sophiejoanne-2

FIRST TIME I SET MY EYES ON YOU
Him: "First time I set my eyes on you
Every fantasy I'd ever dreamed suddenly seemed far more true
I hope you weren't put off by my numb grin
But I was dumbstruck and couldn't remember who I was or where I'd been"

Her "First time I set my eyes on you
I was frightened and near set my whole damn pack of dogs on you
And first impressions tend to last
Did you not take the hint when watching as I ran away so fast"

CHORUS
Past life, fast life, fading away
If the shoe fits its not my shoe
Past life, fast life turning the air kind of blue

Him: "First time I set my eyes on you
I guess I kinda knew that it was all far too good to be true
My mouth spluttered out some words
But they all just merged together into indecipherable turds"

Her: "First time I set my eyes on you
It was such unpleasant viewing that I very nearly spewed
Stop sitting there! Please just move along
You're not the kind of lover that I sing about in song"

CHORUS

Today I'm Gonna Be Happy

Stars are visible from a room, which has lost city lights.
Children, old people, and soldiers, no one in this city anymore.

Last lovers on this planet. Distant explosion sound.

Rubble, remembrances and corpses. We are living in chaos now.
It's just the two of us in this world. One might call it romantic.

Last lovers on this planet. I want to know what love is.

What is lost can no longer be regained, only to fade away.
Only sighs may remain in history and will be passed down.

Last lovers on this planet. I sleep with you in my arms.

Everyone made love. Everyone was betrayed. 
Everyone was hurt. Nobody's left.

Last lovers on this planet

I Think I Broke It

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
