You might imagine that this song is very much influenced by Paul McCartney’s classic but although it certainly covers similar ground, the route via which it came to be has a genesis all it’s own.

Some months ago, Barbara Browning & Imre Lodbrog covered one of my songs, ‘Who’s Gonna Be My King’ (https://soundcloud.com/barbarabrowning/whos-gonna-be-my-king?si=e95c961d64c34c798ce64a06d2c3c767).  One of the many delights of hearing it was that, from their garden, you can clearly hear a blackbird singing, almost as if he or she were somehow joining in with them. I’d written the original as a lament to my late brother Bri and every element of Barbara & Imre's version resonated so deeply that it stuck in my mind for quite some time. 

In the early Summer, the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement was beginning to receive some rather  negative press reaction, something that was, to me, entirely and unforgivably misplaced.  Whenever I listened to B & I's version of ‘King', the feelings I still harboured about how unfair and undeserved Bri’s death had been somehow became intertwined with those I was having about the criticism the ‘BLM’ movement was receiving. 

So that was how this song came to be written.  I realise it’s just a cathartic exercise, one that isn’t going to change the world, merely being something I felt needed saying.  What I do know is that it’s a song that I love to sing because I mean every word.

It has been said so many times in these descriptions just how amazing a musician Hans Albers is and with this song he surpassed himself by producing four different versions from the demo I’d sent, all different and all completely wonderful.  Hans had written a tune called ‘Werewolf’ some years before which had a very similar chord structure and he  experimented to see if the two would fit together.  As things turned out, they were a perfect match, which is why we chose to post the version we have.  We hope you enjoy it.  (Terry Reeves)

A mirror image of many things seen before 
Reflecting faces behind slow closing doors
Asking questions to those who lived before
To those who lived before

Time to move forward and statues to ignore 
Duplications of fears hoping to leave all behind
No more chains, No more chains, No more chains 
To holdback opinions of kind 

I heard The Blackbird sing (x 4)

A birthplace of distance not to forget in mind
Born on one planet to help one planet rewind
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast 

No secret should be held of any slavery plan
Celebrating in marble supporting political scams
Family riches remain controlled in Buckingham 
No apologies given rejecting any honest exam

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

What happens when clones repeat living past
Historical opinions keep a discriminating cast
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

BLACKBIRD SING (Feat. The Werewolf Orchestra) - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pour it out from the start and mend a broken heart
From the liars and the fools you betrayed
See it all from the lens, the vision fades again
From the higher serotonin thugs at play
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me
-------------------------------------------------------------
My vision was dim but the stakes were high
And I wasn't fit for this kind of life
For this kind of life, well the streams run dry
And the water that ran, well it turned to ice (x2)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cauterize from the end, the broken heart won't mend
From the liar and the fool you've become
Cuttin' ties like you said, a twist of fate ahead
From the karma coming back to hunt you down
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me

Game Time

We're born of ancient supernovas and the elements they created.  The calcium in our bones, the iron in our blood...  This song is about the deep human desire to find purpose to our existence, and sometimes finding nothing of purpose is good.  ...and also that there's a need to find the  positive and fun in life.

TO THE STARS 
(c) JunkHeap Nov 20 2021 / Remix Aug 2023

Sitting in the murky dark 
of a rainy afternoon.
No need to answer about the time 
that you consume.
It's not a crime to do nothing.
there's no need to find something.

It's being honest, a bit lonesome.
We're all human. we're all stunning, 
in our own way, a bit cunning;
plying the avenue through the moment.

Since the beginning when we were like chimps,
way before there was civilization.
In this world, we looked up, and were touched 
by the universe swirling. 
Ya our thoughts were twirling, 
trying to make some sense 
of the intangible yearning. 
Now engines started burning and surging,
see the green and city streets 
fade as we head straight into space.

Come, come with me to the stars,
sail away and hear the guitars.
Voyage the emptiness in our hearts, 
bring in the symphony,
we'll go far.

On a stellar cloud as it forms we met.
We didn't know it but I'm sure we bet,
secret feelings we'll need to vet.
Deep inside us the universe unfolds.
So cold, yet so molten;  
deep and red and flowing golden.
We move along emboldened.
hey!  Un-huh.  would you get out of my head? 

Come, come with me to the stars,
sail away and hear the guitars.
Voyage the emptiness in our hearts, 
bring in the symphony,
We'll go far.
Come, come with me to the stars,
sail away and hear the guitars.
Voyage the emptiness in our hearts, 
Bring in the symphony...

In a Dialogue with Gravity and Matisse's Gardens – Boléro  
Listen in the Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/in-a-dialogue-with-gravity-and
Based on Marice Ravel’s "Boléro" 
Duration: 3:15 
Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) premiers two contemporary ballets June 3-4.  “In A Dialogue with Gravity” explores the parallel between modern architecture, movement and the need to push and defy gravity.  “Matisse’s Gardens” brings to life the bold color and forms that Henri Matisse first explored in his collages and drawings.
Matisse first visited Morocco in the winter of 1912.  Matisse found Morocco so different and exotic that he ended up making numerous sketches, drawings, and paintings of it, or more precisely, of what he saw in it.  Matisse was quite struck by the people’s physiognomy and colorful garments, the architecture, the daily outdoor scenes, and routines… and it shows in most of his works from this period (1912-1913).  This music for the ballet, using ethnic instruments and percussion, reflects on this time of Matisse's life in Morocco.

Evanescent

Marginalia

An unconscious exploration of the conflict and growth at the birth of a season, also the conflict within myself as I explore this art form further. I had no idea what was going to be explored within the music until it happened.
Helen x

Our process started off with a simple repeating chord progression on the piano for Helen to improvise over. We gradually added more elements once the vocal parts were complete and the final element is a field recording of the dawn chorus, recorded at 5am in our back garden.

New recording of this song that was in the finals of the NZ MLT songwriting awards 2010


Is This Who I Think It Is 

Another tumble ‘cross the dance floor
A tender hold onto someone I call my own 
A look into her eyes that lingers
Another drink that goes from loving hand to hand

Is this who I think it is
A touch and a blown kiss
I look at her
I look at him
Is this who I think it is

A frozen minute in a lifetime
I lurch and stumble to the dancers of the night 
As I push myself between them 
My life with her is playing out in black and white

I wonder at the blind man
Who was missing all the clues
Once a happy go lucky guy
Now with leaden shoes

I am dancing in a wasteland
She is speaking but I cannot hear a sound
Her face resigned to do to her duty
I can see him and his eyes are shifting round

Is This Who I Think It Is

I Am (Instrumental)

This is a test......
I contacted Jack about creating lyrics for his fine track as I had some sweet ideas pop up on first listen. When stems arrived I had forgotten the clever topic and melody bouncing in my head.......
This happens all the time... Note to self:  pick up one of those little recorders at RadioShack....
Anyway this is what came of a ham handed attenpt to redeem myself after Jack went to all the trouble to accomodate me.
It's raw and wounded but I am posting the outcome for a few hours. let us know if your up or down reviews cause it to remain..
Thanks for taking part in the TEST))))))))))Free Download 

Lyric Test:
I’d rather not show you my books upon religion.
And I’d probably not tell you the levers that I pull and I pull.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

I feel seduced and abandoned by those all around me.
I feel rejected and ridiculous inside my home.
I’m turning independent .
I change my stripes and spots.
I’m turning independent. 
And I like it a lot.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

Stand by.
To much information.
To much.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

When in doubt "Pull"

"Pull" (The Conover/Morefield Distraction)

I sit on your doorstep - waiting for you to come down - i know that you are up there trying to turn your world around - As you put on your make-up you think about our breakup and how its affected you but still you're okay - and I put on my make-up and think about this breakup and i am surely not okay with what it's been doing to me - then you walk out you doorway yeah and I am waiting right there - your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keeps getting colder and colder - then you you just graze right by me yeah - guess I'm a ghost from your past - what was it that changed you - am i - am i the one who changed you - should i wait for you to come home - no my friends would call me a creep - but I would own that label - if you would just talk to me - wish I could come upstairs made a mix tape of all the songs you love we can listen by the fireplace that's all that's all I've been dreaming of - I guess that I'm just getting old - and all the things that meant so much to us - have vanished in a cloud of dust - woman  woman who can we trust - then you walk out your doorway yeah I am waiting right there your agenda is cold shoulder and the night just keep getting colder and colder - I pass by your doorstep yeah everyday on my way to work and even though you haven't lived there for years i still see your face - was creeping on your Instagram - got a family and I'm still who I am I'm lost without your tenderness oh woman I'm so lost
