Here comes the sun

WELL IT IS HEAVEN  IN PARADISE
PASTIS AT SEVEN EN TERRASSE
AN ANGEL IS PASSING SUR LE TROTTOIR D’EN FACE
LIFE WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

HEY HAVE A MANGO IT’S ON THE HOUSE
DANCE A FANDANGO WITH MICKEY MOUSE
NEVER SAY NEVER DIEU EST DANS LA PLACE
SILENCE ET FERVEUR UN ANGE PASSE

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

IT IS HEAVEN IN PARADISE
PASTIS AT SEVEN ABOVE THE STARS
NEVER SAY NEVER YOU NEVER KNOW
ALWAYS IS OVER YOU HAD TO GO 

YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY
IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY
NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN IN PARADISE

YOU HAD THE WORST YOU HAD THE BEST
AND NOW YOU GET ETERNAL REST
AT LAST
RELAX RELAX RELAX…

HEAVEN IN PARADISE (Lyrics)

The miracle that happens everyday all over the world.  

Night into Day

Ray (https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040) and I went back to the well, and came back with this.

You Oughta See

Where are U?

Fighters is an epic cinematic work that transforms intensity, inner struggle, and the power of rising again into sound. The track begins with a dark foundation and gradually builds to monumental climaxes, carrying both hope and determination.

To create this atmosphere, I combined several orchestral libraries:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – providing the orchestral foundation, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Long notes, staccatos, and orchestral swells are featured here.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – with soprano and alto voices delivering long “Ahh” phrases that heighten the epic and hymn-like moments.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – delivering warm, soft viola layers that add emotional depth and a classical foundation.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – bringing in powerful brass sections, driving percussion, and orchestral unison parts that push the track forward cinematically.

Each library contributes its own character:
The Abbey Road Strings add vastness and a majestic tone.
The Epic Choir creates spine-tingling moments, reaching beyond the fight into the spiritual.
The BBC violins & violas bring warmth and melancholy into the heart of the piece.
The Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion release raw, combative energy.

The result is a composition that feels like the soundtrack to an epic movie – a musical companion for battles fought both within and without. Fighters is not just a track, but an experience: dark, powerful, vulnerable, yet full of hope.

Fighters ist ein episch-cineastisches Werk, das die Intensität des Kampfes, die innere Zerrissenheit und die Kraft des Aufstehens in Klang verwandelt. Der Track beginnt mit einem düsteren Fundament und steigert sich stetig zu monumentalen Höhepunkten, die Hoffnung und Entschlossenheit gleichermaßen transportieren.

Um diese Atmosphäre zu erschaffen, habe ich verschiedene Orchester-Libraries kombiniert:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – für die große orchestrale Basis, aufgenommen in den legendären Abbey Road Studios in London. Hier kommen vor allem die langen und staccato gespielten Streicher sowie die orchestralen Swells zum Einsatz.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – Sopran- und Altstimmen, die mit langgezogenen „Ahh“-Phrasen die epischen und hymnischen Passagen verstärken.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – für warme und weiche Violaklänge, die dem Track emotionale Tiefe und ein klassisches Fundament verleihen.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – für kraftvolle Brass-Sektionen, markante Percussion-Elemente und orchestrale Unisono-Parts, die den Track filmisch vorantreiben.

Jede dieser Libraries trägt ihren eigenen Charakter bei:
Die Abbey Road Strings verleihen Weite und majestätische Klangräume.
Der Epic Choir schafft Gänsehaut-Momente, die über den Kampf hinaus in das Spirituelle reichen.
Die BBC Violinen & Violas bringen Wärme und Melancholie ins Zentrum des Stückes.
Die Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion setzen die kämpferische, rohe Energie frei.

So entsteht eine Komposition, die sich wie ein Soundtrack zu einem epischen Film anfühlt – ein musikalischer Begleiter für innere und äußere Schlachten. Fighters ist damit nicht nur ein Track, sondern ein Erlebnis: dunkel, mächtig, verletzlich und dennoch voller Hoffnung.

This is a new recording of an old song I wrote for my son when he was a kid.  He just got married earlier this year.   Time really flies.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the song.

[LYRICS]
Make yourself a dream 
Sketch a vision to lead you through   
Set the goals in life and cast away the blues
Make yourself a dream though things aren't always what they seem 
Sometimes you'll find your whimsical moments in your dreams

Feel the magic in the songs 
Rhythm of life singing along  
Lovely things surrounding you 
Dreams are coming true
Bathe in the breeze of the morning sun
Fulfill wishes one by one
Keep your feet firm on the ground 
Things will come around for you

Life is like a dream 
Full of wonders and surprises 
Needless to ask why 
All in the mirror of your eyes

Lines of hills clear in the morning sky 
Scent of flowers colored butterflies 
Rewarding opportunities are all there to welcome you

Reach out for the twinkling stars 
Stretch and they aren't very far 
Keep your feet firm on the ground 
Things will turn around

Feel the magic in the songs 
Rhythm of life singing along  
Keep your feet firm on the ground 
Things will turn around for you

Make Yourself a Dream

Special thanks to Marty for his cappella ....

Lyrics: 

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?

Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal;

 everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

LIBERATION. 🎧

QUE FONT NOS DIRIGEANTS

Si les plus beaux paysages sont au-dessus de la ligne d’horizon chaque continent a son génie du ciel ....  Le ciel change chaque jour et imprime d’imperceptibles nuances grâce à ses nuages aux mille et une forme. Tout ciel nuageux en forme de gaze longiforme donnent cette « mélancolique lessive d’or du couchant » dont parlait si bien Rimbaud .... La fin d'été approche et nous pouvons observer maintenant un ciel plein de gros nuages blancs et aux nuances de gris, bourgeonnants, rembourrés, cotonneux, mais aussi lumineux comme des lampes au reflets lactescent …. 
J'ai essayé d'être représentatif de ce phénomène avec les nuances harmoniques de ce concept ….

**************************************************************************************************************************
 
If the most beautiful landscapes are above the horizon line each continent has its genius in the sky .... The sky changes every day and prints imperceptible nuances thanks to its clouds with a thousand and one shape. All cloudy sky in the shape of a long gauze give this "melancholic laundry of the sunset" of which Rimbaud spoke so well .... The end of summer is approaching and we can now observe a sky full of large white clouds and shades of gray, budding, padded, cottony, but also luminous like lamps with lactscent reflections …. I tried to be representative of this phenomenon with the harmonic nuances of this concept ....

Have been a big fan of Ced at 'CRomanC' (soundcloud.com/cromanc) for quite a while, so was totally intrigued when he approached me about putting together a remix of "Baby, You Can Drive My Oil Rig". Intrigue turned to absolute delight when he sent this over, a brilliant reworking of the old track by he and his colleague Wamont (https://soundcloud.com/wamont).  Would heartily recommend you make a visit to both their pages,  where you'll find more examples of similarly superb sounds and gorgeous, silky vocals . 
Thanks for listening, my friends. Here's to a peaceful 2017…. (Gary Reeves).
