Arrangement, Production & Final Mix by Gordon Midgley

From the very beginning of our relationship, my wife Jo had always wanted me to write her a love letter. We have been together for 34 years and, in that time, I’ve written her 3 love songs, which she often says are very special and mean so much to her - and yet she would still remind me that she’d never had the love letter she had always wanted.  So the idea occurred to me that I would write her a love letter within a song.  I wanted to make it a surprise, so had to write it in secret, which in itself was no easy task.
Once I had something I thought worked well I decided, although possibly difficult, to play this song with it's personal expression of love to someone who I knew would give a totally honest opinion.  That person could only be my brother Gal.
By the time I sent him the secretly made demo, I’d convinced myself it wasn’t very good so it was something of a surprise when he said he absolutely loved it.

Even as I was writing the song, I always had Gordon in mind as the best person to work on it with us.  He’s such a sensitive and tasteful player and the arrangement he produced, along with Gal’s drumming, proved the perfect vehicle for the kind of ‘love letter’ I wanted it to be.  Without their consummate skills, none of the following could ever have happened.    

The original plan was to play Jo the song on Mother’s Day but I’m afraid excitement got the better of me so, on the very day Gord sent the final mix, I decided to reveal the big secret. I suggested she listen on headphones, hoping that would help give the kind of immediate intimacy and connection I wanted her to feel.  Watching her listen, I was feeling more than a little nervous but as the track continued, she grabbed my hand and started to cry and continued to do so after it had finished, telling me that she now had her love letter and that it was the most special thing ever.

It was something I’ll never forget and, as sentimental as all of this may seem, I make no apologies for this love letter to my beautiful wife Jo and the perfect moment it gave to both of us.
(Terry Reeves) 

Dear Jo 
When we first met love at first sight I never knew
I had never felt could you to feel the same way too
Two long years to get the strength to tell how I felt
The fear inside you would smile and make life melt
Life was far too short to keep a secret to myself
When I explained you didn’t leave me on the shelf

Dear Jo, Dear Jo Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo,

Dear Jo 
A lifetime in your arms can never be complete
Do it all again my heart would miss a beat
Hanging by my fingertips showing I want to stay
Every single second and every second single day
A chance to tell you how much I love you I always will
Creation of a love storm, from the start we made it real

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo

Dear Jo
We were meant to be with each other there’s no doubt 
Some tried to separate our love by loudly shouting out
Our love never about anybody else just you and me
Knowing that the end result didn’t need an apology 
Heads up looking forward three children by our side
Memories are for you and me our time machine will glide

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo 

Dear Jo 
You always wanted me to write you a special love letter
All the words you deserve are so hard to put together 
No time to apologize for the difficulties I have caused 
Not the plan I promised and like you I am so confused 
I said many times I wouldn’t change a single thing
All my love is yours you gave my voice a chance to sing

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo  
Dear Jo

The Long Voyage Home - part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at Anthology Records.

This track has been produced as an entry for a compilation which might possibly be released someday as digital album on BandCamp. A link to it will be added here whenever it will be out. I'm grateful to the organizer for having been invited to participate, I'm sure it will be an awesome set. And it has been a honour and a pleasure for me to collaborate once again with Her (Vocal) Majesty Myrh (@myrhyum | @tariqa-kali) on this piece, which wouldn't make sense without her contribution.

I am awake love
watching you
dream between
the soft moments
you are deity
to me
my naked shrine of glory
I have sent you
a dozen kisses on
your way to
the moon
so dream sweet
my love
until I return to
greet you in
the dearest
slumber...

This is a fun collaboration with Cirque du Psycho. I had an idea for some songs and asked Celeste, who is fluent in Japanese for some spoken word. This particular song is mostly free form singing on her part but still with a Japanese feel. It turned into a beat style track. We have several more tunes coming with a Japanese influence where Celeste wrote the lyrics and sings. So excited to finally work with her.

Get out on the land and find your own freedom

This is a song i wrote inspired by current events and our loss of freedoms and human rights,its a protest track but the lyrics are open to
interpretation.
[out here in the fields i fight for my meals -Pete Townsend ]
[power to the people-John lennon]
If music and writing songs has taught me anything its that music and words can reach and enlighten people and hopefully cause changes for the better ...heres to a peaceful protest and the future [jim april 2021]
lyrics 
Taking away your rights for a peaceful protest
they tried to make you part of the test
Dont believe the lies your told on the bbc
or a digital screen for impossible dreams
you gotta take it for a while and not hold back
shouldnt live in fear of your own land
all those big conspiracies and pharmaceutical brands
in your hands
chorus
in the end when a dream goes bad what will become of you
if you think to hard these illusions of freedom
will get inside of you

taking away the reason for a peaceful life
we are all balanced on the edge of a knife
oh beautiful freedom your like a long lost friend 
makes me sit and wonder when its gonna end
it haunts the shadows and the empty rooms
cant see the footprints where the flowers used to bloom
if you had a choice you would be over the moon 
and not too soon

power to the people
you gotta make a change
looking at the land below
everything is dis-enganged
power ti the country
your fate is in your hands
dont let the bastards grind you down
reach out and all join hands

written and produced by Jim Manser 2021 a nu-clear records production

This is my fourth time crafting sonic magic with our wonderful friend (and exceptional singer and musician) from Derry City, Ireland… Johanna Fegan (soundcloud.com/johanna-fegan, https://jojostar.bandcamp.com, facebook.com/feganjohanna/). And in my humble opinion… it’s our best yet. Haha.

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Johanna, then you missed out on a few of my favorite ‘memorable moments’ from our surreal year in Pandemic Lock-Down. Johanna was kind enough to perform three ‘live from the living room’ streaming concerts (‘Rockin the Lockdown’, if I recall correctly) right as the pandemic hit alarming levels. Truthfully, they helped keep me sane. I needed that to remind me we are not so isolated during trying times. Quite the opposite, in fact. We are all one big planet of friends doing our best to support each other, and offer a bit of positive perspective when we see that others need it most. Johanna (as well as a wonderful number of other creative folks out there) chose to use her efforts to keep the energy climbing ever upward. And sometimes that’s just the message we need… to remember it’s all still good at the core. So thank you for that, Johanna. You are a positive influence, my friend. :)

Back to the song… We had a great time passing the stems back and forth; usually just adding only a handful of new features on each pass. What resulted is this massive joyride of sonic quirkiness that we both utterly adore. I do believe we’ve discovered our perfect stride. 

So without further delay, Johanna Fegan and I joyfully offer you our latest collaborative effort, ‘Beautiful.’ :D

Lyrics:
Just want to capture some inspiration x4
There's power in my mind
Power in my heart
There's power in my word
There's power when we're apart 
There's power in my body 
Power in my soul
There's power in my mind 
There's power in my heart

It's just a sign of the times
I'll write a letter to you
About supporting my cause and all my other forms 
There was a time in my life I couldn't escape for nadda
Was an expression of thought about my childhood trauma
It's just the name of the game, a game I'd rather forget
I take my pen to my plate. Express my target
Are these the depths we must face to make it out alive
To find some good through the hate 
Someone inspire us

Heart Word Love Body 
Mind Heart Word Soul (Repeat)

A beautiful heart 
A beautiful soul
A beautiful lovely 
A beautiful mind 
A beautiful body

A beautiful heart a beautiful mind a beautiful 
A beautiful heart
A beautiful Soul
A beautiful lovely

Beautiful | Johanna Fegan & GrevusAnjl

Taken From The Alum - THE STAGE DOOR and Remastered
Lyrics:-
Once Upon a Time
Date with destiny
Pretty Summertime
Loving breathlessly
And I know , and I know it's a long long time ago
But I'm still here
You disappeared

I'm trudging through the winter snow
The wind it bites
No colour
No horizon's goal
Everything's white

I'm Lost in Siberia
I'm Lost in Siberia

On the night we met
Raining cats and dogs
Light my cigarette
At that old bus stop
And I know , and I know what I'd let myself in for ?
A love that's strong
That lasts too long

The darkest night is to endure
When comes the light ?
Surely I'm
Stronger than before
Where's my foresight ?

I'm Lost in Siberia
I'm Lost in Siberia

Cold and lonely

I'm trudging through the winter snow
The wind it bites
No colour
No horizon's goal
Everything's white

I'm Lost in Siberia
I'm Lost in Siberia

The darkest night is to endure
When comes the light ?
Surely I'm
Stronger than before
Where's my foresight

I'm Lost in Siberia
I'm Lost in Siberia

Add clarity
Split seconds, detailed motions
Shock therapy
City lights and notions
Wandering, wondering… 

Music sticking to my heels
You know just how it feels
I'm wondering, wandering, wondering

If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
Who's gonna dream my dreams?

(Dream my dreams)
(Dream my dreams)
Is it you?
(Dream my dreams)

I love you, too

I'm wondering, wandering…
Memories sticking to my heels
You know just how it feels, don't you?
I'm wondering, wandering, wondering

If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
If I refuse to sleep
Who's gonna live my dreams?

(Dream my dreams)
Is it you?
(Dream my dreams)

Or is it you?

Savor it, drink it in
Catch your breath, let it sink in
Cough it up, spit it out

Brace yourself, see it through
I see you've got some demons, too
Cough it up, spit it out
Ain't this what our life's about?

So I dance into the darkness
And close my eyes
And improvise

I love you, too

Another collaboration with the wonderful Janine Levinson.
Here are Janine's lyrics.
take my broken heart and candy-coat it
take my empty room and fill it full of sugar roses
cause we’re walking in four leaf clover
our lonely days are over!
they’re just a memory to us now

bad luck comes and goes just like the wind and weather
and my luck changed the moment love blew us together
now we’re walking in four leaf clover
our lonely days are over
they’re just a memory to us now
a memory to us now
a memory to us now

we’re walking in four leaf clover
we’re walking in four leaf clover
we’re walking in four leaf clover now!
