Cover art picture is of Mum & Brian, taken in 1949.

My Mum requested that, at her funeral(today, 16 January 2022, being the third anniversary), our sisterJayne and her children made arrangements to cover her coffin in pink roses as a sign to everybody that we should celebrate her life and not mourn her death.  They found a casket with a pink rose design too, which would have pleased her even more.  She wanted to be remembered for the good times she had with her family and many close friends.  Mum enjoyed parties and celebrations a great deal.

In writing the song, I wanted to represent all the important parts of Mum's life to help us to remember what an incredibly generous person she was,  always there to help those who needed some extra love and attention.  We grew up in a house that was somewhere our friends and neighbours could always turn to if they needed help. Throughout our lives it wasn't at all unusual to wake up in the morning to find someone who needed refuge asleep on the sofa.  Neighbours' children would join us for meals on a regular basis and Mum made sure there was always plenty to go round..

At the funeral itself, as the chorus explains, I felt so uncomfortably exposed, standing at the front with all eyes seemingly looking at me, gauging every reaction. I think Jayne and Gal felt much the same if truth be told.  Even with my wife and children there to support me, it was one of those moments in life I don't think any of us ever really wants to face. 

We will certainly never forget our wonderful Mum and all the things she did for us.  She always made special times just a bit more special, going that extra mile so that the memories would last a lifetime.

I felt it was particularly important to write this song for my sister, who was the main carer for my Mum in the latter years of her life and dealt with all the difficulties with so much love, care and strength.  This song is for you Jayne, with all our love. 

As always, we give our heartfelt thanks to Hans for producing an arrangement so in keeping with the spirit of the song and the occasion it marks.
Thank you everyone for all your support.  (Terry Reeves)

One thousand pink Roses to light the flame
One thousand reasons making you live again
One thousand regrets as we all stand still 
One thought of sadness makes this moment so real.

I don’t wanna be here for all to see   X2

Five hundred stories to make you live again
Five hundred dresses in a beautiful frame
Five hundred presents for your many friends
One single moment, our love will never end

I don’t wanna be here for all to see. X2

One hundred whispers hiding words of truth
One hundred wishes turning magic loose 
One hundred kisses for children who sing
Only one person could make hearts ring

I don't wanna be here for all to see.     X4

Only one mother helps grow with a laugh
Only one mother puts smiles in every photograph
Only one mother gives when others take
Our family love you never stopped trying to make 

I will always be here for you and me
I will always be here for you and me...
I will always be
Here for you

CAN'T STAND NO MORE

“It is not the the bruises on the body that hurt. It is the wounds of the heart and the scars on the mind.”
― Aisha Mirza (Author)

“When it comes to abuse, you believe there’s no way out. There is always help. There is always a way out.”
― Rev. Donna Mulvey

A sister song to "I had a fight", told from the point of view of the partner of the alcoholic in that song.
Many thanks to Patricia Fortuny for that idea - I love you! I hope I've done justice to the subject matter and to all women who have found themselves in an abusive relationship.

lyrics
He hasn’t hit me yet
But I’m ready for the blow
Though if he does, I’ve nowhere to run, nowhere to go
He hasn’t hit me yet

I knew he was a wild one
Right from the very start
A boozer and a ladies' man
Yet, somehow I lost my heart
I thought he’d settle down
And learn to drink a little less
But I was just trying to fool myself
I see that now, I must confess

At least he hasn’t hit me yet …

There are no hidden bruises on my skin
But then some blows don’t have to physically connect
You see … my bruises lie within

The owner’s outside, he’s waiting for the rent
How can I tell him it’s already been spent?
And when himself comes home, staggering from the booze
I complain about the money; he tells me it’s his to lose
Oh oh oh oh
But he hasn’t hit me yet

He hasn’t hit me yet
And perhaps he never will
But in his drunken rage he seeks to blame
It’s the fear that haunts me still
So much unexpressed!
I’m sick from all the lying and the hiding
People wond’ring if I have been crying
And at night I … cannot rest

There are no hidden bruises on my skin
But then some blows don’t have to physically connect
No, no, no, no! No hidden bruises on my skin
It’s true some blows don’t have to physically connect
You see … my bruises lie within

… my bruises lie within
… the bruises lie within
… they lie within

Gotta get away, gotta get away x3
Gotta get away … there must be a way

My Tent Or Yours (featuring Joerxworx)

Many people have a battle with mental health. This song is about that struggle. To keep ourselves together.

Lyrics:

For miles and miles and miles
We saw our lives in piles
History as our mirror
Face ourselves in fear

The sand for miles and miles
Surrounds our cries 
Ohhh!
Fallen ones
They tried hard
Now they lie down
Hardened souls
Who fought hard
Didn’t turn them against the cause

Waves of thoughts come
Into our head
Attacking our resolve
This fight to dissolve apathy
All our willpower
Needed for the march ahead 
To face the enemy within

One and two and three and four
March across the broken glass
Five and six and seven, eight
Heading for the lemming fate
(There’s got to be another voice, 
a voice that brings another choice. 
Hold on, watch your step, 
Marching to a different world of hope. Hope. Hope. Hope.)

Ohhhh!

Imagine we had all won,
Imagine we were all one.
One.

The Enemy Within

Growing tired of the liars and the cheats, the deceits of the elites….
Self-unaware at the Vanity Fair -the highest possible priority to saying words
Sow what you reap, bullshit is cheap, selling out to the dragging feet, of the elite
Slipping away, save it for a rainy doomsday, making hay, on the way
Sinking deep in the shadow of the valley of time, bluff on the causes of crime

MY DOG STEPPED ON A BEE
WHILE TAKING A LEAK AGAINST A TREE
THEN ADDING INSULT TO INJURY
ANOTHER ONE STUNG HIS PEE PEE

OH, PLEASE DON’T LAUGH AT TRAGEDY
THE POOR THING YELPED IN AGONY
SO I HAD TO THINK FAST HE WAS ON HIS LAST
BUT SUCKING OUT THE POISON CHANGED ME

TELLING PORKIES SO ABSURD
HER GIANT YORKIES PLANTED TURDS
THEIR SINISTER ATTEMPT TO FRAME HER
HOPING JOHNNY DEPP WOULD BLAME HER

SEEMS THESE TERRIERS FROM HELL
SEIZED THIS MOMENT TO REBEL
REPELLED, COMPELLED, THEY DID EXPEL
A MULTILEVEL FERAL POOP, ENOUGH TO FILL A BARREL

BUT JUST WHAT SORT OF QUADRUPED
WOULD SINK AS LOW AS THAT
I SAY IT WAS A BIPED, NOT A RABBIT, DOG OR CAT
ME THINKS IT WAS AN ACTRESS, AN AWFUL ONE AT THAT
WHO TOOK A SHIT AFTER A SPAT, NOW TALKING THROUGH HER HAT

BORDERLINE SHE CROSSED THE LINE
ACCELERATES HER OWN DECLINE
IGNORES THE WARNINGS AND THE STOP SIGN
HISTRIONIC NARCISSIST, SHE DOES IT ALL THE TIME

HEARD SHOULD NOT BE SEEN OR HEARD
BUT WILL SHE LISTEN, NO SHE WON’T
MORE LIES POUR OUT, EACH MORE ABSURD
SHE’S NEVER STUCK FOR THE WRONG WORD

MY DOG STEPPED ON A BEE

After many years of having others around
No I live alone, no pets, downtown

Most days I never make a sound
Til I greet the staff at my favorite place downtown

They all turn and say “Hi Bill!” (makes me smile)
And I say Hey Hopi, Hi Gracie, Erin, Shea and Gwen!
Cayleana, Allen, Maya, Michael, Alex

What --- no Jessicas? Wasn't Jessica the new Heather?

I like that I can walk almost everywhere I need to go
I used to take the sun-link tram
To visit David at the University --- but he's not there anymore...
most folks I know these days work on either side of a bar
I like when I'm recognized as I come into the bar

I miss the sounds of family and the pettiness of pets
Now I live alone, no pets, downtown
Most days I never make a sound
Til I greet the staff at my favorite place downtown

They all turn and say “Hi Bill!” (makes me smile)
And I say Hey Britney, Hayley, Allanah, Shea, ZZ, Katie too!

Downtown (Ode to Elliott's)

Βαριά η καρδιά, από ατσάλι καμωμένη
Δε συλλογιέται, δεν νογά
Μονάχα περιμένει
Έχει απόψε φουσκοθαλασσιά
Αρχίζει να σαλεύει
Φωτιά... Φωτιά ονειρεύεται καθώς χαροπαλεύει

Η Κραυγή είναι φωτιά
Που κατακαίει, κατακαίει τα σωθικά
Που όταν πλαντάξει ξεπετιέται με ορμή
Είναι Πληγή
Είναι το αίμα των Αιώνων που εφορμεί
Είναι του Σύμπαντος η ασίγαστη Πνοή.

What

I had this tune in my head for quite a while, and now I finally recorded it. It's always fun to take new approaches to the recording process. It's certainly not as clean and polished as it could be, but there is another version in the works with the Laybow-legacy studio project. 

lyrics:

look, it's the sun that's coming back to shine
even the rain has never felt this fine

and the trees turn back to green
all the colours that you haven't seen for a long time
this past time, fading
to make place for a new day
a new scent is calling
and I will be falling in love again

look, there's a new bird in the sky
circling upward like it never got that high before

and the flowers in the street
so many faces new to meet
all our paths that intertwine
like the bees back to the hive
build another piece of life
like the bird that got so high
it's the only way to fly

always in springtime
a new scent is calling
I will surely be falling
in love again

Love Theme From Romeo & Juliet
Did try out some new string technique here, where I do some vibrato like feel, using a analogue lead that increase in volume and color, this makes the violin to become more vibrant and realistic since it is difficult and can destroy the violin sound itself if having to change it, so this is testing how to color violin using a layer of another sound to play like mirroring the sound
