Good morning all you wonderful music loving people. And what a beautiful Monday morning it is; made all the better by this enticing new track Clive (https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo, https://audius.co/winkandw00) and I just finished. It’s our first collaborative effort; and the results are spectacular, if I do say so myself.

As to the backdrop for this piece... it feels surreal, traversing this world of sleepers, lost in their own self-created daydreams and nightmares. It’s a bizarre balancing act, wanting to play a helpful part in this underground movement of consciousness and unconditional love, while also trying to accept that there are many who simply don’t want to wake up from this troubling dream. But in the end, our fate will be shared across the entire planet. And the full range of choices must be recognized and honored, for this grand adventure to play out to its fullest potential.

The old saying ‘It is always darkest before the dawn’ seems like an apt concept to focus on these days. And it’s helpful to remember, great beauty can still arise from the murkiest of waters and most inhospitable of soils. Times might seem dark right now, and we are most definitely heading toward some unprecedented troubling chapters. But it is still just a story; the human story. And we all get to chose our roles, and play our parts. I’m personally quite fond of the ‘kindness and compassion’ approach myself. But there are as many roles to play as there are humans on this planet; so choose wisely, and follow your bliss. In the end, that might be all that matters. 

Clive and I hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ’Stay Asleep’. :)

Lyrics:

Surrounded by chaos, 
Heroic demise
It’s time – time to rise
Our names will live forever,
Forever out of time
Live for today
Join the final fight

Rise, samurai!
Blades slash through lies
As the bullets fly
Ignite the city of night 
This is our fight
There’s victory in death
If you know when to die

We walk the razor’s edge
With death by our side
We will never be alone
Forever out of time

Rise, samurai!
Tempered by our trials
With steel in our spine
Never bow to fear
Our names will never die
Ignite the city of night,
Join the final fight!

Rise, Samurai! (Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu)VIDEO AVAILABLE🎥

Come with me,
Like you did before,
But this time,
When you take my hand,
I’ll never let it go.
I won’t promise you we'll be rich,
But I’ll promise we'll never be poor.

ANOTHER ZERO (TO MY NAME)
(Written by Terry Reeves, 2016)

I decided to write a song to celebrate my 60th birthday and came up with the line 'another zero to my name' and at the time I thought I really had something and was looking forward to working on an up-beat, happy song.
Age is becoming a big issue in my life right now, affecting my Mum and Mother-in-law, who are both in their late eighties. The ageing process is making life difficult in so many ways, and they do miss the simple pleasure of being able to go outside and feel the sun when they want to. It’s hard to watch, because they are both very special people who, against the odds, try and make each day worth waking up for.  The medical care they’ve received hasn’t always been too helpful, though.
Having observed this from such close range, it does appear that advances in this area haven’t focused nearly enough attention on the effects the ageing process has on their mental health. Lack of patient care for the old is scary at the best of times, but when it comes to how you actually ‘feel’, if your needs don't tick the designated boxes, they are, sad to report, mostly ignored. 
So that became what this song is about.  Not the first time that the writing process has taken a different direction to the one I’d expected, but certainly the first time I’ve fully completed a song in just half a day. I hope they like this protest song on their behalf and that I can help keep the sun shining.
When Hans agreed to listen to my demo and then to having a go at laying down a version, I couldn't wait to hear the result.  When Gary contacted me some weeks later and said, "You have got to listen to this", I still had no idea just how brilliant it would be. How on earth was I going to do a vocal that could even come close to matching that brilliance I didn’t know but, in the end, thought, “Who in their right mind would miss the chance?”  (Terry Reeves)

Anyone who has had the privilege of working with Hans (https://soundcloud.com/clouders_for), will know just how rewarding a process that always is, but what he did with this song really is something else again.  Neither of us can ever thank him enough for that.
Also want to thank Jono Trott (https://soundcloud.com/jonodog) at Core Arts (https://soundcloud.com/coreartsmusic), for all his help with mixing the vocals. Could never have achieved this result without all his knowledge and help.  (Gary Reeves)

LYRICS:
I tried to cry
But there's a desert in my head
It's been going dry
Since the sun stopped shining

Intake of breath
Assisting broken heart
A thought of death
Since the sun stopped shining

Another zero to my name
I Think the Birthdays are to blame       CHORUS                    
I'm not able to beat Cain
Another zero to my name

Aching words of trust
Forget the lack of care.                   
Finance going bust
Since the sun stopped shining

Walking through the pain
Tried and tested thing to do
No supporting frame
Since the sun stopped shining

CHORUS

Voices always on the edge
Shouting childlike in my face
No more vision of a pledge
Since the sun stopped shining

Mindful thoughts but no repair
Not listed for success 
Best friend despair
Since the sun stopped shining

What a great opportunity for another collaboration with Paul Racle. Couldn't resist such a beautiful canvas to work with. I changed the tempo to 104 and went for it. Thank you Paul! :)

Inspiration (ELP) - From the Beginning
EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER were a British progressive rock supergroup formed in London in 1970. The group consisted of keyboardist Keith Emerson, singer, guitarist, and producer Greg Lake, and drummer and percussionist Carl Palmer. They were one of the most popular progressive rock bands in the 1970s.

In The Beginning

I'm a keyboardist with a love for layering sounds to create ambient, ethereal atmospheres and composing simple piano pieces to embellish. I love all genres of music, and find myself composing different types depending on my mood of the day.

I’ve never had formal training. As a teen, my parents wouldn’t let a piano in our house in Egypt, so I studied piece-meal at friends’ homes. When I got to college, I learned by going to university piano practice rooms. In my 40’s, I met my birth-mom who turned out to be a child prodigy, winning a Van Cliburn competition by playing Rachmaninoff at age 11. Most of what I play today, I learned from the techniques she taught me. 

I’m an American who has lived abroad for a good part of my life in Egypt, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Taiwan, and now back to Texas.

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.
