ascending memories nowhere dance

Some songs take something special to bring them to life and in this case it is the Amazing voice of Finn Eces. Finn has a quality to his voice which is able to release the magic from a song and really express the message of the song in the Vocal with passion and beauty, very happy to have this collaboration with him. 

this song has been bugging me for months trying to get it to realize its potential and to get the feeling out of the song, i have already released  it under of the name of " Searching for your love" but i was never 100% Happy with it I hope all my SoundCloud friend agree that this is now a really Beautiful song. Finn can be found @finn_eces

I have been trying to play the guitar since the early 70s but even after all this time still don’t think I’m really good enough to actually call myself a guitarist.  I was lucky that there were always guitars laying around the family house and could therefore pick one up any time I wanted and strum away to myself.  Having two older brothers who were semi-pro musicians was also a big encouragement and I used to love going down to see them rehearsing with the band they were in at the time, developing a yearning to join them, whilst never believing it would actually happen.

When I moved into a place of my own, my brother Bri gifted me one of his guitars so that I could play any time I wanted.  I can’t actually remember when it occurred to me that I was actually starting to write my own songs but as I continued to play,  pleasing chord structures just seemed to emerge and I started to sing along.  Eventually, I wrote down some lyrics and gave each piece a title. It became a kind of therapy, channelling a lot of my personal and political frustrations into song but keeping it all to myself.  Fear of rejection ruled my thinking for some time.

That I managed to overcome that, tentatively recording a few songs onto cassette and sending them to Bri & Gal turned out to be one of the best things I ever did.  I’ll never forget them calling to say they thought the songs were great and that we must get together to rehearse and record them. 

So that’s how Root Division became an actual band.  We drafted in John Palmer, who had played bass in the band I used to see rehearse all those years before and soon after, there we all were in my living room, recording my songs onto Bri's four track reel-to-reel machine.  It all seems pretty stone-age now but it sounded bloody great to me.  

Those first sessions were recorded in a house on the edge of a school playing field (I was the groundsman) so we could make as much noise as we liked.  Later on, we gravitated to the attic of a house Bri was sharing, going on to record 13 songs and having a blast in the process.  The memories I have of those days still loom large in the memory.  Days full of wild ideas and even wilder laughs.  Days I will never forget.

In all the nostalgia of yesteryear, we mustn’t forget Hans Albers, who has once again produced another brilliant arrangement.  I cannot ever thank him enough for everything he brings to these songs.  Thanks to you all for listening.  Your encouragement means everything.  (Terry Reeves)

Head in the clouds nowhere to go
Empty room with guitar solo show
Playing demo of songs for reaction
Cathartic moments, hidden rejection

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, finding truth)
Searching for a root division (Concerts in telephone booths)

Expressive words tried to be taken
Spying musical notes not unshaken
Hopeful moves toward a joint decision
Holidays end in disappointing collision

Searching for a root division  (Dividing dream, avoiding life)
Searching for a root division  (Cutting sharp, use surgical knife)

Writing words with a political slant
Separation of four directional plants
Playing music with family heroes 
No thought of ending with ‘Another Zero’

Searching for a root division (Dividing dream, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Finding time, a musical sleuth)

(Never expected my brothers to call...)
Searching for a root division (repeat)
 
Live band recording reel to reel tape
Buzzing feeling with a chance to escape 
Start to finish our music engagement 
All on my own to a foursome arrangement

Searching for a root division (Dividing dreams, avoiding truth) 
Searching for a root division (Keeping time all under one roof)

(It’s time to get the band out of bed…"Come on John!")     
Searching for a root division… (Repeat to end)

Rain is falling on our town and bouncing all over the place.
No one knows when it will end. The situation is getting worse.
The fire eventually closes in on the church and envelops the town.
We have no one to pray to anymore.

Chrome roses bloom everywhere, and the world emits a dazzling light.

I was going to run away if something like this happened.
But in reality, there was nowhere to run.
We gradually lose our sense of reality.
The world has entered an age of absurdity.

Chrome roses bloom everywhere, and the world emits a dazzling light.

It could be an eternity, or it could be a moment.
Anyway, The meaning of the word "future" has changed.
We will continue to live as the dead.
Or continue to die as the living.

Chrome roses bloom everywhere, and the world emits a dazzling light.

Breathing in a sea of violence,
Dealing with my fate with a consiouss eye,
Swimming by my anger to silence,
Its a stepping stone to what you shall live,
Met you in a day of weakness,
That i am alone with nothing to quest,
Give me now your only forgiveness,
Make me feel blessed that i found you now,
Swimming all my pain in your madness,
Swimming just above the thought of your hopes,
Playing all around with your sadness,
Can't you feel in this role that am not alone ,
Travelling in your sea of badness,
Shore to shore sacred by my holy oath,
Do you want to feel my godness,
Do you want to feel my breath in your core.

Enjoy One Breath!!

Her Happier Times (Brookes and Wigmore)

available for free D/L at https://www.terrywigmore.com/jazz-collection-vol-2 (track 6) 

Oh, for the good old days when life was less complicated and appeared far more rosier than our current global situation.

This is a pensive composition and moves along with images from an older woman's past. Ray's music provides a jazz framework for the memories as they flow much as a stream of consciousness, one image after another - a series of Black and White photos from a Brownie camera or the scenes from a silent film. 

There is a lot to take in and the tempo allows the listener to project his or her own thoughts and feelings onto the silver screen of your mind's eye. 

Music and Lyrics: Ray Brookes (all piano and guitar parts performed, recorded and mixed by Ray - pre-mixed backing sent to Terry for vocals to be added)

Lyrics to Her Happier Times 
(c) Ray Brookes 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Ancient clocks and ringing chimes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Monochrome photos, fewer cars 
Sci-fi movies and men from Mars 
Larger skies and brighter stars 
Shillings and pence and sweets in jars 

Favourite shoes and vintage wines 
Long summer days and fishing lines 
Old sleepy orchards and endless vines 
Birthday cards and Valentines 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Mother goose and nursery rhymes 
The old lady remembers happier times 

Instrumental - guitar solo (Ray)

Old country fiddles heel and toe 
Gingham waltzes and foxtrots slow 
Those Friday nights at the picture show 
Walks to school steady as you go 

She remembers old friends and lovers lost 
Falling rains and rising costs 
Christmas presents and morning frost 
Pecking orders and social climbs 
The old lady remembers happier times

A pleasure working with Chuck on this gentle Blaze Foley song, most notably covered by Merle Haggard. A close friend and confidant of Merle's encouraged him to record it, saying it was the "best damn song I've heard in fifteen years".

5 string banjoodling with some English style mandoodling on top. The frog is an old Father’s Day card from my daughter. Perhaps not the first time you’ve seen a frog with a banjo if you were a child of the 70s in Britain. Answers on a postcard . . .

I played a bass part for our cover of Tom Waits' "Bad As Me" but it didn't seem to quite fit. 
Then Mo sent me a present to cheer me up with what I had done.
