Excellent work Richard!!  The thing that really grabbed me is the bass.

A brilliant intro and a really well-produced track. I love your guitar playing!

Just giving this excellent song a revisit Richard.

Soothing vocals and excellent guitar playing.

Summer Stroll

Someone pushes the red button.........and now there are more of them in other places pushing their red button.....

In our skies fly a handful of intercontinental robots....carrying nuclear warheads.......

What does man feel in this moment of stillness and silence, before hell breaks loose around us in an exterminating firestorm.......

They Won't Go When I Go (Stevie Wonder/Yvonne Wright)

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Right here from the start
They won't go when I go

And I'll go, where I've longed,
To go, so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
And they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
And I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

And I'll go, where I've longed
To go, so long
Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He will give, he will give
He ain't hardly gonna give, whoa yeah

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
My soul will be free
They won't go when I go-a-whoa

Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
They won't go when I go
When I go, where I've longed 
No one can keep me from my destiny

Extraits:

la pluie bat contre mon visage
Laissant mon souffle dire c'est comme ça quand j'ai mal
Mes oreilles restent sourdes et coupent court à tout
Un râle dans ma gorge prêt à rugir m'étouffe

Je me sens laide et sale de la boue qu'on m'a laissée
Ce qu'il y a de charmant en l'homme s'est évaporé
Coup d'épée à mon âme j'engrange les plaies
Patience comme toujours je me relèverai

Je suis faite d'une étoffe tissée bien trop vite
La nuit je tente de défaire le tissu maudit
Que nul ne puisse plus s'insinuer ainsi
Et plus je resserre les mailles 
moins la pluie me saisit

Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Ton coeur est tout lié et cassé
la nuit tombe
étoiles filantes
Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Si je savais pourquoi
Si je savais pourquoi
les étoiles sont seulement à 1,6km
mais juste une étincelle
juste s'enflammer quand la nuit est sombre
quand la lumière est
oh alors oh

un tunnel de lumière me suit sur cette route
est-ce que je me suis retournée
est-ce que je me suis retournée
pour que tu puisses me faire face
pendant que je pleure !

Having grown up with the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other soul greats, and more recently been impressed by the songwriting of artists like Tom Misch and Mac Ayers, I’ve wanted for a while to add an R&B feel to a some of my tracks. 
I’ve tried a few times over the years, and found that blending a strong groove with my usual acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff didn’t really work. 
I still wanted the songs to sound like my songs :)
This is the first time I’ve finished a track, in that style, that I’m confident enough to put out there. 
Hope you like it :)
Richard

Lyrics:
Needed time to think it over
Get my head straight
Diving overboard           
Maybe Its too late                                                
Make same mistakes 
Its time to move on
But something else is pulling me 
To this old town
 
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two

Someone told me once
To love is to feel free 
Coming home is back to reality
You said it all
The first time
Catching up on feelings 
Harder to define

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two
  
So many years
I tried for it to make sense
Saw our love 
But only in the past tense
Years are slipping
Losing all our nine lives 
Only one thing to decide
  
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this old underworld 
of two

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the story found us
Right here, right now
In this underworld 
of two

A song that was particularly close to my heart to remix and especially to sing...So I tried to put my voice on this title that I love so much....And it is with immense joy that musical accomplice for almost 10 years....accompanied me on the piano.

DANCING ON MY OWN REMIX

I was walking down Mare Street, Hackney
Climbing boots and back pack on
Looking for a song of mountains
I had climbed them many times before
Challenge may help to find another door

I’ve climbed arduous N.H.S mountains
Planted flags a'top of wedlock peaks
Hung upside down on magical fountains
With my muscles springing major leaks
My heart is growing smaller by the week

Stood and pointed at hours of darkness
Winds of silence a challenge of their own
Worn out boots a testament to distance
But the misery of counting my toes alone
Sixty three feet behind me as it goes

I have loved being a man of mountains
I hope many will profit from my deeds
I will try to climb just one more mountain
Slide down the other side to save my feet
At the bottom I'll need brand new cleats

This was written over 10 years ago as a George Formby style (Google the name if you’ve never heard of him) ukulele song - a mildly amusing message to Gal to let him know that I was fully aware of the mental health difficulties he was having and that I would always be there if he needed me.

Over the years, we spoke often about the song but nothing much came of it until Gal suggested slowing the tempo and giving it a kind of shuffle beat. As it was about him, I thought he should definitely sing the lead vocal, which I think works rather well. (*Vocalist’s note: It would help if I could still sing…)

You’ll find many personal references to Gal’s life in the lyrics. At the time it was written, he was 63, literally a fatal age for men in the extended Reeves family and he wasn’t having the best of times himself, still wrestling with the grief of a marriage break-up alongside the loss of his big brother and closest friend less than a year before. But even with all of this going on (and not always out of choice) he found there were plenty more mountains to climb.

The transition of the tune from Formby to Albers is a story in itself but suffice it to say that Hans somehow managed to transform it into this rather poignant opus.  He has also made a beautiful film to accompany the piece (see link above). All in all, it testifies perfectly to the reason why Gal’s cleats are somewhat care-worn...and he still has many mountains yet to climb.. (Terry Reeves)

MOUNTAIN MAN - CRIPPLE CLUB

Now into my seventh decade of living, and celebrating my fiftieth anniversary this month as a guitar player (I should play better than do;), I wanted to drop this "little ditty" as my attempt to keep up with the likes of Bill Liggett (@soundcloud.com/greenfleamusic/tracks) and other notable players on this fine platform.  Actually it's an attempt to keep up with myself, seeing if I can still play what I learned 40-plus years ago, in the case of this song, the introductory licks I learned from a very fine Kansas City lounge musician, Mark Bell in 1979.  For those keeping score, you may remember it from the song "This Motel Room" by Jimmy Buffet--a fun and clever song that details the many nights touring musicians have to endure staying in motel rooms.  I took the initial licks heard throughout the song and built an independent melody line around it, half blues ditty, half musical joke, with a serious moment (you know I have to have one of those:), all with the hope of bringing a smile.  I'm proud to say I can still play it, and maybe, just maybe a little better now than then:)  Bill, just don't ask me to play it live;)

One Thing

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!
