It´s about my grandfather back in the beginning of the 1900 when he emigrated to the USA. Over there he was longing for his girlfriend that later going to be my grandmother. He stayed in the USA for 9 years, worked at the railroad in Idaho. In his free time he wrote poems that i later on had the opportunities to compose music to.

When I was little, my parents divorced and we moved with my mother to the other side of the world. My parents always stayed on good terms, and we could call and write, so it wasn't like he had died or anything - but suddenly our father was just... gone from our everyday world. Over the decades, we have been able to catch up every couple of years or so, but parting each time always feels like losing him all over again, and no matter how old I get, that little girl inside me rises to the surface, re-living the confusion, hurt and loss. 

A few years ago, my father showed me a poem that little girl had written and sent to him during those first few years apart:
"I miss you like the pages of a book
I miss you like the shadow of a lion
I miss you like a bird up a flyin'
But when I think of you the sun shines through my tears"


SONG LYRICS:

Like the pages of a book you told me stories
Like the shadow of a lion you made me feel strong by your side
Like a bird up a flyin' in the sky you gave me fearlessness of heights
 
I miss you (I wish, wish you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through 

Like a step upon the footpath, you showed me how to get by - one foot in front of the other
Like a hug from someone special you gave me comfort when I was frightened
And like nothing else in this world you gave me endless, boundless love

I miss you (I wish, wish  you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through

I Miss You (a cappella)

Brian would have been 70 today, three years younger than one of his boyhood heroes, Eric Clapton and, in my totally unbiased opinion, every bit as good.  I always thought he would grow old playing his guitar, singing his favourite songs to all who'd listen, and there would have been plenty that would.  I still wake up expecting him to be there and the realisation that my music King has gone is still as painful as ever.    
Some of you may remember the original version (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs/whos-gonna-be-my-king-by-cripple-club-provisional-mix), uploaded a couple of years back.  This new mix from Hans arrived out of the blue and was, as you can imagine, the most wonderful surprise -  Gal and me were just blown away.  All the credit for this 'return' goes to him.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Wanted to take the opportunity to say the hugest of thanks to everyone that's written to me, or left a comment sending greetings - all have more than  warmed the cockles of the old Reeves heart.  Have been kept away by illness, but hope to be showing my face around a little more in the New Year, all being well.  I intend to respond to every last message, so you may be hearing from me.  Have the merriest of Yuletides, my dear friends.  
And, as always, thank you so much for listening.

When I heard the news I would not believe a word that was said
I thought that someone was playing with the fears inside my head
Another piece of information I did not need to know just yet

But then I realised 
It hit me like a rock
Another empty space
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies.
Yes I realised it hit me like a rock, another empty space 
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

As I'm growing older l expect to say more goodbyes
Sometimes it's hard to see the good times with watered eyes
An accepted part with aching bones but not with this disguise

I didn't want to hear
The possibilities
Of an empty throne
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies?
I didn't want to hear the possibilities of an empty throne
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

BREAK

The future shortens but there always seems to be more time
Until a tap upon my shoulder reminds me that I've used that same line
Even with a time machine I don't know if I could change my mind

What I want to say
May not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my king when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies?
What I want to say may not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

What I want to say
May not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?
