Hey Carl man, love Scotty, so my expectations for this were high. And well met, too! Love your harmonic vocal work with him in here, brother man. Great music underneath, too. Fantastic work here, both of you!

Really nice collaboration with great vocals and guitar

This is a true collaboration. Thanks for sharing guys

Fascinating collaboration and emotionally affecting.

Such stunning ambience to this track, and the layered vocals are a perfect accompanyment!  Great work to both of you!

I love the great sound and gentle singing voice!

Lovely work, cool to hear you working with BD, love his stuff!

Beautiful harmonies and such a mellow vibe 🤍

My niece Sam has always been a wholly free and singular spirit, something which enables her to fully embrace life and live it exactly how she pleases.  For his proposal of marriage, her partner Tom arranged for a busker to play ‘Here Comes The Sun’ (her favourite song) as they walked along the beach one bright Sunday morning.  They decided to tie the knot on the Isle Of Wight, a small island set off the coast of Southern England and known by locals as ‘The Jewel Of The South’.  For various reasons, none of the band are able to travel to the ceremony, which is taking place today, on the 27th. August 2024 so, as means of both apology and compensation, I decided to write a song to commemorate the joining together of two profoundly unique people.  We hope our gift will always help remind them of this very special day on their Island of Dreams.

Most of my songs are connected to events from both past and present and as I searched for the catalyst that would light my path to a song for Sam and Tom, my mind alighted on something that happened at my 60th. birthday party.  

In the traditional Reeves’ fashion, live music was an essential part of the celebrations.  
To get things going, Gal and myself played a few Cripple Club songs, my brother Bri’s kids Joby and Blue did a couple of theirs until we eventually reached a point where it seemed there were more people on stage than in the audience.  For those in the latter category, I left various percussion instruments laying around so that even they could join in if they so wished.  Sam chose an old  tambourine, which sadly fell apart in her hands as she was playing.  She felt so guilty that she brought along her older sister Elizabeth for support when breaking the news to me, thinking I might not react too well.  But I just smiled and told her that these things happen.  Over the subsequent years it became something of a running joke between us and was referenced every time we met at birthday celebrations.

Consequently, it was uppermost in my mind when I was writing the song and is even  referred to in the lyrics, so it struck me as a good idea to buy her, from the band, a wedding present of a lovely new tambourine as a way of keeping the memory of that lovely evening alive.  I can’t wait to see her playing it….  

I am most indebted to both Hans & Gary for their input into the song it has become.  Most importantly, though, we all hope that Sam and Tom enjoy hearing it.  Our distanced garage band wish them a lifetime of happiness, music and fun.  (Terry Reeves) 

Sam and Tom on a journey, channel to cross
Ceremony of joining, no history being lost
No forgotten treasures of a family and past
Dancing for enjoyment, recognition to last

Chorus:
A theatre of emotions 
Performance of dreams
Forward excitement 
Happiness it brings (Happiness it brings)

The asking of questions, the answer I do
Legal bonding connection of one into two
Marriage much more than a paper to sign
Promise to each other, feelings underlined

Chorus

Partnership giving a respect and affection
Supporting each other, every life direction
Jewel of the South, East Afton Farmhouse shines
Confirmation of your love, together combines

Chorus

Best wishes from the band, club of enjoyment 
Thinking of you both, this very special moment 
Synchronicity of music, on new tambourine 
Lifetime share forever, supporting the theme 

Chorus

This tiny island, brings the largest of dreams
Combined love and kindness always to be seen
Celebrate marriage, squeezing close real tight 
Commitment forever, on this tiny island delight

'clown redux'

music: Rentt 
lyrics, vocals, art: scotty

I put my makeup on before I hit the darkened streets.
Frighten children passing, as I pick my trick for treat.
Lure 'em to my vintage van with puppies and candy,
then tie 'em up and gag 'em so they can't release a shriek. 

Then I'll take them to the basement of an old abandoned house.
The fear that they possess is what makes me most aroused.
And when I've done my dirty work, I'll put that fire out,
and dump 'em in the woods, with their parts scattered all around. 

Call me fucking sick, I'm just a product of this world
and all you fucking people, how society's unfurled.
Try your best to catch me. Do your best to understand. 
But for every one of me there's worse things done by 'the man.'

'irate' with Harmful if Followed 

Harmful: lyrics, vocals
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, mandolin, guitar, cuica 

I’ve got this problem, mate.
Perhaps you could relate.
It's my woman. She's gone irate. 

Mate I’ve been telling you for years 
That crazy lady ain’t worth all them tears
She’s mentaler than you
And that’s quite hard to do 
Mate come live with me
I’ve not thought about the physical side but I suppose we could suck it and see 

Mate, everything sounds lovely.

'oracles'
Ultrasonic Pest Repellent: drums, bass, guitar
Scotty: lyrics, vocals
Gems: backing vocals

Well, the wind is pickin' up,
and the sea is gettin' rough.
Midday has turned to dusk,
and we're feelin' Iike we're fucked.
Yet, still, we can't get enough
'cause somehow we get some love
for spillin' out our guts
about each time we've been fucked,
and each time that we have fucked,
and each time we've lost our trust,
and each time we've showed disgust
each time we treat time with fuss.
Each time, every time, we must
treat each time like we're in lust.
Otherwise, each time will pass and we'll 
have lost each time. For what? 

Absolutely nothing, baby.
Do you trust me? Yes or maybe?
Don't be shy, babe, come persuade me.
Spill it out, now, don't be angry.
I just want you. You're my baby.
Learned to trust you. You've regained me.
Fear to love you. Yes, it pains me.
Still, I'll fuck you. You'll repay me. 

Somehow I still feel this is right.
And I can't put up no more fight.
If this consumes me, then so be it.
We'll be in movies, or some 'd' skit. 

I'm just kiddin'.
I'm just joshin'.
Why fuss hauntin'
all my dreams when
you're just kiddin',
and just joshin'.
You're just hauntin'
my dreams because you can. 

Why you gotta fuck with me? 

I'm gonna take hold of you.
Throttle your neck until you're blue.
Don't think once that this dude
won't make you swallow what you've chewed.

oracles (with Ultrasonic Pest Repellent)

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way.
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well. I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

'universe of fun (in utero)'

Verity. We like verity. Music delivers us verity. It's like a universal tool to hone and send verity to our heads as therapeutic wonderfulness...

We are very proud to present the first of many organically grown collaboration between One Man Verity Show and The Beautiful Dark. This was effortless. I guess thats the other amazing thing that real musicians can share... For years we stare through our instruments at the world of music and then someday we connect and the visions combine. We'll keep comparing our world to the world of fake music until it is the fad that it should be... AI cannot deliver you a connection like we just started. You may get a remotely similar result but heres whats real... AI has never has our eyes to look at the woerld for 40 odd years with and it never will. Heres to real human connections and real music. Cheers Scotty

Lyrics

To fungi moulded brain
Ha, who said we'd go insane!
To moderation main
Lined musical brain plane

To psilocybin liberty cap
Old medicine love to fill knowledge gap
Hallucinogenic conscious calm
Serves melodic thought through mouth and palm

We let finger run
Good psilocybin
Add to the birdies fun
Just doppler effect to dumb
One day, we'll all catch on
Sign ourselves to sound and sum
Good, self inflicted
Pure positive prone
Liberties begin to clone
We spread and hone
Bottoms up good planet of one

Let the fingers run
Run 'em for the Sun
Moon rise dear man
Flashbacks from fungi fun
The Universe we stun
Universe of fun

universe of fun (in utero) (with the Beautiful Dark)

Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel!  **I NEVER USE A.I. FOR ANY OF MY SONGS!** Just me & Charlie warts and all! I actually play all the instruments & Charlie sings and plays the Harmonica! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL!! 
This is another of my travels down Memory Lane songs and video. I love to reminisce about the good times when I was a kid and life was ours for the taking! Those sweet memories seem to be diminishing now and being replaced with harsh ones about hatred and division and greed. Okay, but let's stay positive and happy for now because this song is one of joy! Charlie sang it perfectly and once again I got my beautiful wife to come down to the studio and join me in the backing vocals as I did on the song "I Still Remember". It has that same early 60's rock & roll groove to it and we had a fabulous time recording it! This is one of my favorites because it's a story song about being teenagers and having fun! As the French always say "La joie de vivre"! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/f5LvddjxBSU

I worked very hard on the video and storyboarded it like some of my other songs to try and relay that carefree ambiance of youth! My wife at the time was feeling much better and had regained her strength and vibrance after all the cancer treatments the year before. Overall 2009 was a good year and it shows in this song! I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks again for watching and listening! Watch the video and subscribe! "It seems times were always  better and  life was easier to play, somehow we'd always find comfort in tomorrow back in younger days." Take care! 🙏😎✌🏼

“BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS"

TELL ME DO YOU REMEMBER? 
WHEN WE FIRST MET BABE?

IT WAS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND I’LL NEVER FORGET BABE,
HOW WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE THAT NIGHT,
      
WE HAD THE HUNGER IN OUR SOULS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,    
OUR HEARTS BEAT JUST FOR ROCK & ROLL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,

SO WILD AND SO AMBITIOUS, 
NOTHING EVER MATTERED,             
HAND IN HAND AND DAY TO DAY,    
CHASING DREAMS AND WISHES ON OUR WAY UP THE LADDER,    
WITH ONLY LOVE TO LEAD THE WAY,
     
WE HAD THE WILL TO ALWAYS TRY, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FIRE IN OUR EYES, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
        
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,        
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
                  
ROLLIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE RADIO BLARING,    
UNSURE JUST WHERE WE HAD TO BE,    
WE WERE GONNA DO THINGS OUR WAY, 
UNINHIBITED AND DARING,  
WAS HOW WE FACED OUR DESTINY,
     
WE NEVER HID OUR FEELINGS WELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,   
WE SHOT THEM DOWN & GAVE THEM HELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
      
CUTTIN’ CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL, 
RUNNIN’ AROUND & HAVIN’ FUN,   
OUT OF CONTROL EVERY NOW AND THEN,     
THERE WERE NEVER ANY RULES, 
TWO OUTLAWS ON THE RUN,     
YES LIFE WAS DIFFERENT WAY BACK WHEN,
      
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THEM ALL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FUTURE BY THE BALLS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS, 
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,     
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,           
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,       
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,        
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,

"BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS" (Video - https://youtu.be/f5LvddjxBSU)

When I was a kid, I had toys on my brain but now kids today want video games.
***
She says there’s a really overpowered character in in this video game that she likes
There’s a really overpowered character in in this video game that she likes
It’s my favorite game daddy she says please won’t you let me buy it
I say no, no, no, no, no no, no, ten dollars a week that’s too much money to spend
Ten dollars a week five hundred twenty dollars a year
I say no, no, no, no, no no, no, ten dollars a week that’s too much money to spend
Ten dollars a week five hundred twenty dollars a year

When I was a kid I’d ask my parents for toys and a lot of times they’d say no
Cause funds were tight and there were places where the money had to go
And now the shoes on the other foot and I’m starting to understand
I’m not pooping money like Daddy Warbucks
I’m not buying expensive drinks at Starbucks
She keeps wearing me down and there’s only so much I can take
And I know that sooner or later my resolve is going to break
Food clothing and shelter, Maslov had a hierarchy of needs
But if you drill a little bit deeper down into the weeds
There’s lots of other things that we all want
I say no, no, but eventually I’ll give in, cause I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win
I say No no but eventually I’ll give in, cause I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win
I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win

The No No Song

Composed and played by Pierrou August 2025 (Guitar Gibson ES 175)

QUIET

With this music I would like to caress the mind and hearing of you who are listening!

Con questa musica vorrei accarezzare la mente e l’udito di te che ascolti!

This song was seeded by wonderful UK artist Walker and a chat we had on a previous track. Thanks a mill buddy 🫡


Tuning 432Hz A
Frequency Focus 963Hz
(Sine wave B6 & Tuning Fork)
Tempo 963bpm
Timing 32/1

The 963bpm is an attempt to get the rhythm resonant with the tuning and frequency in focus... Hertz=Wave cycles per second so should align them given BPM is aligned to a minute making them divisable or at some level, in harmony with one another.

The lyrics were built after absorbing these two videos, I avoided the speculative ones for now:

Also big thanks to Valerio and Mary from Beating Edge for their valuable input. They are experts in brain stuff when they are not showing us how it's done with music! 🎵 🧠

The Pineal Gland

Circadian rhythms
Put me to sleep
As I close these eyes
Dream diurnal relief
Reset the reason drenched in this brain
New light will come soon
More chance of sane
First we must wire head PC with sub stitch
Asleep time for rewire taht mind cannot glitch
Carve those fine memories into this grey matter
Create more unknown while I've stoppe dthe chatter

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod

Immense melatonin
Good chemist head sand
Your team has this god like lone pineal gland
It doesn't take sides
There's no left and right
;Takes symmetrical rhythm
Center dark
Center light
Drug dealer of head
It distributes best
Discernment of nature
When to wake or rest
The morning is near
Head pharmacy pause
Here comes the Sun
Day ' effect new cause

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod

Light paints the retina
Fill optic nerve
Through axons to clock of biological verve
Like super charismatic neucleus send
To superior cervical ganglion tend
Noradrenaline levels scened trigger for conscious
Rhythmic regulation for body of honest
Direct connection
SCG chemist hand
To centered head
Fine Pineal Gland

Some say third eye
Activation of God
Good symmetry bind
Truth, give us a nod
