Irreducible Complexities

Spicy Juxtaposition - Irreducible Complexity (A vs. B)

(Written by Terry Reeves, 2018)

Hans Albers:  All instruments, Arrangement & Production

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

'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight by Emily Bronte (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,

But most where trees are sending
Their breezy boughs on high,
Or stooping low are lending
A shelter from the sky.

And there in those wild bowers
A lovely form is laid;
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
Wave gently round her head.

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,
CMD FY

'Round Midnight

'Round Midnight - Collab with Florian Lüthi

I don't need to see what I already feel
Invisible like pain but you know that its real
I've been down but I found the ground
I don't need any of your pity.
And if anything I should feel sorry for you.

How do you make it through a day
Without divine intervention
Wonder through the dark
Alone with no direction
Cling to answers that
Only lead to more questions.

I don't need to fear what is already near
Time will spare no lives, it’s abundantly clear.
But your end is my beginning
I don't need any pity
And if anything I should feel sorry for you.


How do you make it through a day
Without divine intervention
Wonder through the dark
Alone with no direction
Cling to answers that
Only lead to more questions.

The Gospel According to John 20:29

Irreducible Complexity

everyone has their time
everyone needs something nice to believe in
everyone needs someone
everyone needs to be loved

well you know it's nothing new
and you're ready to give way
you might just think it through 
before you

when there's not much more to say
when you're seein' only blue
you might just wanna get away
from you

everyone takes the ride
everyone hits the skids sometimes
everyone feels better outside
everyone contains a bright light inside

bright light inside

A song was written by a friend that I re-wrote for a friend. The polar reverse of the Original (https://soundcloud.com/spicy-invalid/irreducible-complexity?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing). 

Do you like it? Don't tell me you don't like it... tell me you love it for no other reason than you want to flatter me in the hopes that I will return the favor mindlessly and precipitously! What are we here to do but tell each other we love each other's music even if really don't! Shalom!! yeeehaw.

Lyrics:

Yohanan 20:29
Yohanan 20:29

You dont need to see what you already feel
  invisible like pain but you know that its real  
You’re up and down, you can’t stick to ground 
No one needs any of your pity
and if anything they will be praying for you

  how do you make it through a day 
without divine intervention 
wander through the dark
 alone with no direction 
cling to answers that 
Never answer the questions.

You don’t need to fear what is already near 
time will spare no lives, it’s abundantly clear.
but your end can be your beginning
 He has built Spiritual cities
and in the end we will bree praying for you.

how do you make it through a day 
without divine intervention 
wander through the dark
 alone with no direction 
cling to answers that 
Never answer the questions.

Yo...
Yo...
Yohanan 20:29

Yeshua said to him, “Have you trusted because you have seen me? How blessed are those who do not see, but trust anyway!”

Misaphonia (Alternate Take)

Does anyone still give credit to "the universe" for orchestrating blessings in their lives? I have known many people that will talk about the universe as if it is a living entity that bestows fortune and divine appointments into their lives. The Torah of YHVH Elohim has predicted this behavior for well over five thousand years. And even before the earth was created the Creator YHVH knew how every "wise" person would think.

If you give credit to the universe for the manifestation of fortune and grace in your life, then in a roundabout way you know He is real. So cut to the chase:

"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things."

Romans 1:20-23
