LYRICS
Little things we don’t see.
Daily acts add up for me.
I found love in a tear.
That you care. That you hear.

I found love in a child’s hand,
When they try to understand.
 I cry for help. An answered call.
I found love breaks down walls.

In a hug when I fail,
I find love will prevail.
I found love in the way
That you listen to what I say.

I found love in your smile.
Won’t you stay for a little while?

BRIDGE - MUSIC

I found love in the way you cook;
Serve the food with a loving look.
I found love in the way
My pet greets me every day.

I found love. A flower blooms.
In my heart there’s always room.
I found love in hugs you give.
They bring me hope; a reason to live.

I found love. Life goes on.
The earth still turns, but my blues are gone.

(4X) I found love.

I found love, and it grew.
I found love. It’s with you.
I found love, and you’ll see,
I found love. It’s in me.

(4X) I found love.

I Found Love (ft. Arianna - vocals) lyrics attached

Last in the 150 series - this scatter-gun piece stemmed from a single soprano sax improvisation. This nature of track building somehow reminded me of an old mode of ionising organic compounds using charged xenon gas plasma fired from a 'FAB gun' (always sounded a bit like Funkadelic's 'Bop gun' to me).  
I may return to the fast tempo at a later stage, if I'm bombarded with enough ideas.

Today my son turned 18! I wrote this for him yesterday in what was a very emotional experience. I’m so proud of him. Where does time go...❤️😊🎹🎤🎵

Love this pic his friend took of him singing and playing.

Thank you Sander for your beautiful mastering job and YouTube video! You’re the best...😊❤️❤️

Lyrics,

If I had a pound for every smile
I’d be the richest mum in the world

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be...

I’ve watched you win
I’ve watched you lose
But I’m proud of the things you do...

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be...

I’ve watched you fall
I’ve wiped your tears
But you don’t need me so much now
But it’s okay

You’re becoming the man
That I hoped you would be 

I’m proud
I’m proud of you...

I’ve watched you grow

Grow (Happy 18th birthday to my lovely son Josh)

leave what you've known all behind
change your name
fake being blind
i'm addicted to the way we hide
life's a party and i'm sitting in the hall
cold tiles and soft fixtures on the walls
i'm addicted to the way we hide
i'm addicted to the way we hide
i'm addicted to the way we hide

hiding

The solitude of the journey nearly brought our protagonist to the brink of insanity (https://soundcloud.com/gunnarsletta/beyond-the-edge), but he finds peace of mind thinking of his home..

Lyrics:

Deep in this mental maze, 
I'm trying to carve my way
out to a brighter state.
I need a new place to hold on to

I've been lost and too selfish to see
that no one's to blame but me.
I need to fight that feeling inside.
I need a new place to hold on to.

So I delve deep into my past,
through times that I have lived.
And it dawns on me..
I find what I need to hold on to.

Back to the place where I grew up,
to the place where I learned 
who I'm supposed to be..
The anchor that I can hold on to

A place where encouragement stayed
Rather than taking my chances away
A place to prosper and grow
In the sanctuary of my home...
x2

Though we are far away,
the memories are clear in my mind 
And it stands to me as 
A beacon that I can hold on to

I've been lost in this mental maze,
But now I have found my way out 
To a brighter state..
I've found what I need to hold on 

A place where encouragement stayed
Rather than taking my chances away
A place to prosper and grow
In the sanctuary of my home...
x2

Hollywood 

Intro - Improv

As they walk on down
The boulevard
Of broken dreams

There's neither hope nor happiness it seems
Staring at the bright light flares
Turning slowly into nightmares
Moonlight cityscape, the fake acrylic
Becoming less and less idyllic
There the countless and the nameless
All drawn into the light
Where most will burn
Just burn, burn, burn

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

Hidden plastic people
With stainless steel unbeating hearts
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots
Unpaid extras in some movie parts
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

Inspired by a recurring dream I used to have about endlessly sinking in a deep ocean I came up with this ambient-ish track. Didn't occur to me to look up what a dream like that can mean until recently and it turns out there are both negative and positive interpretations possible if one is to believe all-knowing Google. 

On a desperate note "To dream of sinking represents feelings of slow loss, despair, or losing ground. You are feeling overwhelmed or unable to stop a negative situation from getting worse. A fear of unstoppable failure. Someone or something is dragging you down. You may be experiencing low self-esteem and confidence. Needing help that is either not available or that you are not being assertive enough about asking for. Feeling pressure to make a decision or change before total embarrassment occurs. A situation that is deteriorating. Feelings about your worst fears becoming a reality. Feelings about being unable to help others. Feeling that you can’t stop your life from getting worse."

Now, I can't remember ever feeling like that when I was having this dream - it's been over 10 years since the last one. But, who knows, maybe those were my subconscience feelings.
 
I prefer a more positive view "A dream about sinking may reflect an unpleasant stage of your life that is coming to an end. Problems or bad people that seem to be slowly going away on their own. Experiencing your enemies succumbing to humiliation."

That last sentence may be wishful thinking haha...., not that I can think of any enemies.

Feel free to comment about your own recurring dreams if you have any and enjoy the music. 

Some fellow Soundclouders have already shared their dreams with me:
- a professor showing up in class with no clothes
- teeth falling out and rattling 
- the gourmet chef
- reading a book word for word
- car crash savior
- pulling a moving earth together with a lifeline

DREAM REPEAT

Helplessly I’m falling
Needlessly I’m drowning

Endless depths swallow me
A faint light shimmering

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
We can look ahead
The danger is past
Our time is now
Fate in our hands
Your hands
My hands

It’s all over
All over
All over

Fathoms above crushing me
Creatures below beckoning

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
All over
It’s all over

Douglas Adams challenged the world and asked the question “Why?” in such a witty and perceptive way that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it captured my reason to be in a way no writer has before or since. “The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy” has become an international best seller so it’s therefore a surprise, at least to me, not to see his name mentioned more frequently on regularly published lists of history’s most significant authors.  Whilst it’s no doubt true that I wouldn’t be someone whose opinion you’d seek out as an authority on such things, I do find it hard to believe that a man who created something so hilariously and philosophically original doesn’t get the true recognition he deserves. “Hitch Hiker” was so much more than a work of science fiction.  It was something that taught us the valuable life lesson that there really was no need to have an answer to everything.
Has anyone heard of Douglas? Well, he was certainly the man who let me know I wasn't on my own.

Once again, my grateful thanks to Hans (also a ‘Hitch Hiker’ fan, by the way) for the brilliant arrangement on this song.  But he’s just this guy, you know…
(Terry Reeves)

Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Writing life is for the living words
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Tried not to kill a mocking bird

Has anyone heard of Douglas? 
Madness now was so profound 
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
He was not far from the madding crowd

Dickens, Lee, Lewis and Christie
Tolkien, Dahl, Fleming, and Rushdie
Kawakami, Smith, Whitehead and Orwell
Shakespeare, Austin, Pepper, and Powell

Does anyone remember Douglas? 
Forty two the reason why?
Does anyone remember Douglas?
Who was once the Catcher in the rye

Can anyone remember Douglas?
He had a gold but broken heart
Can anyone remember Douglas?
An Adam Blithe Spirit from the start

Ishiguro, Kipling, Russel, and Lessing
Fitzgerald, Woolf, Cookson, and Gissing 
Bronte, Thackeray, Richardson and Hardy
Winterson, Walker, Tan and Galsworthy 

Has anyone seen my Douglas? 
Taking as many baths time will allow
Has anyone read my Douglas? 
Climbing 39 steps with his towel 

Has anyone seen my Douglas?
Hitching to a galaxy of his own
Has anyone considered Douglas?
Taking us all To a God Unknown

Trollope, Butler, Smith and Beckett 
Hollinghurst, Gibbons, Golding but DON’T PANIC
Stein, Doyle, Tolstoy, and Adams
Checkhov, Vern, Steel, and the one and only Douglas Noël Adams

This track really pushed me out from my comfort zone, a lot of times while producing this song I just wanted to give up. This is my first track where I have tried to incorporate more vocal presets into my song, not gonna I found this pretty tough.

There might be people who will listen to this song and be thinking "this isn't for me". So try to listen to this song with an open mind and remember, that it's only my first attempt at trying something new and different.

Thanks for listening and for all of your support

Feels So Good

Poker Face

Seeing as light is fading from the centre of your eyes
And the blog that I been posting 
Don’t change your face design
I find I got no knowledge of the ways inside your mind
Any feelings you have gathered are hidden by disguise

How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will I be nowhere 
I’ve never seen or felt some kind of sign
But I’m wishin’ for that magic kind of ride
How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will you be elsewhere
I’m seeing but I may as well be blind
Your poker face is killing me inside

I’m so ever hopeful I got sensors in my teeth
If you favour me with meeting eyes I’m flushing red as beet
And dissecting every phrase of yours and liberating nothing
I got to get to you or else I’ll shrink away to stuffing

Just saw this band March 25th, 2023 and they were amazing!!!!!

Late at night gazing out into the late at night
I see deep in the world 'til I open my eyes
Every day brakes screech outside my window
Those crashing cars never seem to collide
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
It blows my mind
Every day I'm drawn to my window
I can hear it if I open my eyes
Sometimes flashing lights seem so familiar
I know I've seen them circling me at night
I've been sending signals into outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
It blows my mind
Every day the restlessness takes over me
I can see it as I'm closing my eyes
I've been sending signals into outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

Mountain Songs is a project dedicated to my brother Brian Reeves (aka Rocky Mountain, 1948–2012), an accomplished songwriter, guitarist and arranger.  He was the creative force behind so many of the songs on this page.  If you have time, please click for lyrics and track history. 
This is for you Bri, with love and thanks from us all.   We miss you. (Gary Reeves)
