I don’t believe in luck but I do feel very privileged to have two angels looking after me. My wife Jo and my daughter Charlotte have saved my life on three occasions keeping me alive until the ambulance arrived. I have been told that without their interventions I would not have survived.

Both have chosen not to believe in any God or indeed any outside power that can change our lives.  There may be many of you who disagree but these are the choices we make - each of us believes what we feel is best for us.  If a belief in a higher being helps give anyone’s life more meaning and guides them through each day, we have no argument with that at all.   

I think of Jo and Charlotte as my Atheist Angels.  The care they have given me during these close-to-death experiences shows what beautiful souls they are, always there for me at the time of greatest need.   

On every occasion, there were times when I truly thought that I was drawing my last breath, my existence disappearing as they fought to save me and all I could think of at the time was that, barring my brother Gal, all of my closest male antecedents died when they were just 63.  I was the same age during these episodes and I really didn’t want my name added to the sequence.  My Atheist Angels made sure that it wasn't.

Now I am 67, a proud grandfather, still around to enjoy the experience of watching my family thrive and grow.  There is another grandchild on the way later on this year and the more time I can spend with the love of my life Jo, the better and although my illness is not exactly how I planned things, I still try to enjoy every extra moment.

The continuation of ‘Cripple Club’ with Gal and Hans has been another unexpected bonus and we plan to keep going as long as we can. Here’s to the next song - I do hope you enjoy this one.   (Terry Reeves)

The whisper of a distance voice
Two angels arriving single choice
Keep breathing slow not too much
You're not leaving just stay in touch 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

A feeling of desperate final breath
Lonely moment no time to caress 
Fighting every 63rd dying thought
Surviving each gulp of air caught 

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away

Has time arrived to lay down still
Not accepted by two who really feel
More than one chance to live again
The Angels alongside helping pain

I’m floating yes I’m floating yes l’m floating floating away

Fight to avoid final thought of death
A fading light continues to suggest
Only time decides what, when and how
My Atheist Angels this time will not allow

I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating 
I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating,
Floating to stay……………………..cont

MY ATHEIST ANGELS - CRIPPLE CLUB

Violet Fields is a song about conflicted lovers who coexist in harmony in a violet parallel universe.

Lyrics

Verse 1
There's an angel in me that can't get to my heart
My mind won't allow this love above
Don't listen to her she's witchy, they say
She'll unravel your soul with her enchanting ways

Chorus 1
True love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 2
Violet you must be the angel in me
From violet fields we see
Help me to see, what we can be
Come through the dark veil to me

Bridge and Chorus 2
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
My true love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 3
The angel in me is close to my heart
The world may say she's not okay
She is good to me and together we'll be
When we kiss the world makes sense

Bridge and close
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
Violet I hear you now
You and I know how to love

Lyrics by Wayland Stephens and Mary Pothanikat

Mr Bringer-er Together-er is Josh. You may also know him as artist Entheogenic Psychnought, or the spine of Eclectic Collective. We all came across Josh in our own lucky ways, but he really sets a high bar for spreading constructive musical love and encouragement on SoundCloud. This song started out as a comment. I (Carl/TBD) went to call Josh Mr Bringer-er Together-er and my phone auto corrected it. the next morning K2 swooped in and said what I wanted so I used that as a trigger for the song.
So, I had a rough arrangement. We then invited a few artists, except Josh, to paint it for him. Scratch Kelly, aka Sarah, beamed through some amazing vocals. Not long behind Joe Stroffolino painted in some brilliant backing vox. Then Scotty (One Man Verity Show) chimed in with some amazing guitar, trippy backing vocals, and the super artwork you get to enjoy. Mark brushed in a triangle and some vox, and then Ken added those trusty drums. Tez then strutted in and added some super lead guitar, and not far behind him was Stephen with some epic rhythm guitar that showed the way for the song from that point of view showing a much better space to all the other instruments than the original demo guitar. That was a lovely lesson on less is more...

The song was now ready to give to the main man for him to paint, and he chose his trusty bass to put some strawberries on his own musical cake.

I now stared at 37 tracks and went... Hmmm Stephen, Help! Stephen mixed and mastered it to its crisp current form, and it was a very difficult mix. He basically had to merge 3 projects to one and really aced the challenging mix and master like the true shaman he is. We hope you enjoy the song that brought us together again. May it give us more togetherness like Josh so wonderfully demonstrates everyday

You da brother man Josh 🤘🏽

TITLE: BUILDING A BETTER WORLD
_______________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
Plant the seeds of change today
A brighter world
Not far away
Hands to build
Hearts to stay

(Pre-chorus)
Equal ground
A common goal
Lifting every single soul

(Chorus)
Education lights the flame
Healthcare heals
It’s not a game
Equality
The name we claim
Together we rise
Together we aim

(Verse 2)
Bridges built where gaps once grew
Fair wages paid for what we do
Dreams take flight when chances brew

(Pre-chorus)
No more hunger
No despair
Jobs for all
We’ll meet you there

(Chorus)
Education lights the flame
Healthcare heals
It’s not a game
Equality
The name we claim
Together we rise
Together we aim

Cultivating Community Care

Building A Better World

The soft landing. A closing mantra for the entire emotional journey. This track grants permission to rest, recover, and return to life with gentleness. A peaceful and compassionate ending.

[Intro]
You...
You made it here.
That’s enough for today.

[Verse 1]
Some days feel like climbing skylines,
With pockets full of stones.
Some nights feel like empty inboxes,
Echoing back my bones.

I’ve measured progress by the grief,
And worth by what I lack -
But even empty hands can carry light
When the sun decides to come back.

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I don’t have to win -
Just show up again.
Even if I’m shaking in the skin I’m in.

[Chorus]
So I’ll try again tomorrow -
Let the night swallow the sorrow.
If I wake up with weight in my chest, I’ll breathe -
Learning to call that peace.

Try again tomorrow -
That’s all I owe.
I don’t have to know the way -
Just trust in the grace… of another day.

[Verse 2]
I used to think that “rest” was quitting,
Or that “pausing” meant I failed -
But even gardens drink the dark before
They bloom and tip the scales.

And I don’t need a perfect map,
Just a compass for my chest -
To say “I’m here. I’m real. I’m trying.”
Even longing is a kind of progress.

[Pre-Chorus]
And what a gift - to see the dawn
Even when I feel withdrawn.
The world still turns - and I go on.

[Chorus]
So I’ll try again tomorrow -
Let rest be the bravest part I know.
If my voice shakes and the words don’t land,
I'll just hold my own hand.

Try again tomorrow -
That promise is enough.
I don’t have to roar to be tough -
Some hearts hum softly, but still keep up.

[Bridge]
You don’t owe anyone a miracle tonight.
Your slow breath is a revolution.
Your burnout is an altar.
The world will still be waiting tomorrow -
and you deserve to meet it rested.

[Final Chorus]
So I’ll try again tomorrow -
Not perfect, just real.
I'll patch the places where I bent too much,
And let small truths heal.

Try again tomorrow -
With mercy for my past.
Kindness in my weary bones…
and time enough at last.

[Outro]
You’re allowed to be unfinished.
And still beloved.

Try Again Tomorrow
