TIMES OF MYSTERY AND HOPE

An acoustic version of this song from our second album, 'An Unread Note'

LYRICS:

Keep it in the corner
In the shadows
In a worn-out suitcase
Hiding in the corners
You can find me in a maze of light

Keep it for the weekend
It’s only two days to Friday
Speak it, you’re among friends
You’re a beacon in the dead of night

I see you dressed in white
We are in a maze of light

Gary Reeves, Terry Reeves, Jo Reeves, Jason Reeves, Dan Reeves, & Charlotte Reeves sang the chorus backing vocals.
The four month old Richard Terence Reeves provided the laughter for the intro.  

As far back as I can remember the Reeves family were always big on Christmas. We were not a particularly well-off family (we lived in publicly-owned housing) but my Mum, Dad and Nan always made it the most special of times. Dad would make sure that we had both a barrel of beer and comprehensive choice of beverage to welcome any visitors who might call round to celebrate the holiday season. Friends and family we may not have seen in many a long year would be sure to visit and all were welcomed.

The house itself was always bedecked with paper-chains and Christmas lights (a tradition I have continued at my family home to this day), the crowning glory being the tree, at the base of which were a cornucopia of presents, the opening of which began every Christmas Day.  After that it was a continuous celebration of food, drink, music and games.  By the time the evening rolled around, we’d switch on the telly to enjoy all of the Christmas Specials, after which the board game marathons would usually start.

As we all grew older, Bri & Gal started to play instruments, giving rise to the annual family sing-song. In 1969, we recorded one of these on our old Grundig reel-to-reel, a small selection of which have been included on the above track (see: https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs/xmas-at-home-with-the-von?si=2317d359e0f6482ebeb6662a88d5148b). 

During the later Norman Chop years, when the band became a duo, Brian & Katy opened their own folk club (the Palais de Folk) at the now defunct Derby Arms pub, Shene and built up a very decent following, enabling them to book some of the finest acts on the then thriving folk club circuit.  In 1975, they decided to recall erstwhile members of the band (Gal & Steve Jinks)for their Christmas Party.  It turned out to be one of the best nights the club ever experienced and the place was filled by an enthusiastic, overflowing crowd. I was there that night and will never forget how brilliant it was, wishing I could be up on stage as the fifth member of the band - hence the chorus of the song. 

As always, we owe Hans so much for pulling together all of the strands involved and for making them gel with such a bittersweet resonance.  We do hope you enjoy our Christmas song. (Terry Reeves)

A barrel of beer a pint for every visitor                                                                                  
All food cooking  annual Christmas meal
Flashing lights decorate every corner
The live music from the band always a thrill

CHORUS:
I want to be in the Norman Chop Trio
I want to be the fifth member of the band
I want to sing happy Christmas in the background 
I want to play guitar with melodic hands

Hear songs from daylight to darkness
Family sing together finding harmony 
Two brothers pitch a musical sharpness
Giving feel of sweet sounding certainty

CHORUS

Dad with a pipe helped every low note
Mum and Nan danced and sang every tune
A sister joining fun in beautiful petticoats 
Family singing music melody filling room

CHORUS

Babycham, Sobranie cocktail cigarettes 
Dates in Brazil helped the family go nuts 
Presents under tree one thousand more or less
Another log on the fire keeps temperature up

CHORUS...With melodic hands (x2)

Morecambe and Wise laughter to millions 
Bruce …nice to see you… to see you nice
The board games turning ten hour missions 
Winners still playing not stopping the dice

CHORUS...With melodic hands (x2)

A Bishops Wife noticed a choir of future 
Guitarist and Drummer with flowery shirts
Queen in Black screeching favourite lick slider
Palais de Folk Derby Arms welcome verse

CHORUS...With melodic hands (x4)
CHORUS...With melodic hands (x2)
Happy Christmas!

This is a remix of the song 'So Much Mysteries', which I released 3 years ago in cooperation with Cecilia. The version at that time was way too long with almost 9 minutes. I've also reduced the instrumentation a bit and expanded the sound.

It Recently has been discovered in Morocco 5 skulls dating of 300.000 years  just looking like actual human, 
So That famous Neanderthael Theory was a Big Mistake...& I knew it:)
 So there might have been advanced civilization unknowed & that dissepear, 
 such as that Mystic Atlantis ... Mystic... Mystic... Mystic ...

So Much Mysteries still unfold
 Half of the Story never been told
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 from the Ancient times till Age of Gold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

Don't know all about History
 Don't know all about Biology
 Don't know all the species of plants & their vertues,
 all the insects, the birds and the living creatures 
 & the life in the deep oceanic waters...
Don't know all about Ecology
 Destroying, Polluting our Wonderfull earth & nature

 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 Half of the Story never been told
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 from the Ancient times till Age of Gold
So Much Mysteries still unfold
 From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

It has been recently discovered that there is a Multi Galactic System 
 with 2 Suns & 3 planets where life can be 
 We are not alone in the Univers ... (as SiFi feel it)
 We are not alone in the Univers ... 

 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

Let Them Go (Chapter 1)

Poem: by Emily Dickinson (Hope. from 1862)
Hope is so beautifully described in Emily Dickinson's poem. Hope, like a fragile bird, or like a storm. The hope we carry within us.
Piano , keys, and instrumental composition: Yann Kifer @annkifer
Vocal, vocal composition and photo: Oddrun Eikli
Thank you so much for this JOY Yann. Thank you from my heart.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (10. desember 1830- 15. mai 1886)

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

'"Hope" is the thing with feathers is one of the best known of Emily Dickinson's poems. An extended metaphor, it likens the concept of hope to a feathered bird that is permanently perched in the soul of every human. There it sings, never stopping in its quest to inspire.

Emily Dickinson wrote this poem in 1862, a prolific year for her poetry, one of nearly 1,800 poems she penned during her lifetime. Only seven of these were published while she was still alive. Her sister, Lavinia, collected and helped publish all of her poems after Emily's death in 1886.

Her poetry was highly original but was dismissed or simply misunderstood when she sent her work out for appraisal or publication. It was only after she had passed away and her poems circulated more widely that critics began to appreciate her genius.

Lyrics:

Oh
When you cook for me
Your curves and moves
The harmony

Love
Not just cookery
There's so much more
To this scenery

Oh
From your moves, it's clear
That summer dress
Is all you wear

Oh
It teases me
Seductivly
Irresistably

I can see your different levels merge into one
Affection turns euphoric, fire burns until we`re drained and numb

chorus:
Watching you in that dress
Preparing something for us
Ticks all my boxes
And blows my mind every time

I was a humble man
Unruffled and low-key
Now I'm as close to heaven
As any guy will ever be

All I can do is embrace
Not meant to understand
Blessed in mysterious ways
You are my woman
And I am your man

verse2:
Oh
​Such diversity
And quantity
​In qualities

Oh
Such a compliment
To your discipline
The shape you`re in

Oh
So reliable
Yet unpredictable
Its impossible

Oh
Highly flammable
Can be magical
Or not at all

Maybe diagnosable a few of your traits
So great at your best, I`ll take the hellfire that follows your grace

chorus:
Watching you in that dress
Preparing something for us
Ticks all my boxes
And blows my mind every time

I was a humble man
Unruffled and low-key
Now I'm as close to heaven
As any guy will ever be

All I can do is embrace
Not meant to understand
Blessed in mysterious ways
You are my woman
And I am your man

Summer Dress

90's Inspire rock and roll direct from Metro Detroit.

Dive on in, who said life was always colorfast.
Cut and run you've been out done by another broke iconoclast........
Broken down iconoclast.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Try holding something new that's running out of time.
Another fear, one more lie, another rock we just can't hide behind.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Cause we walk away from better days. We're holding up, because we're standing by.

Standing By

Stand By

There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

(Don't follow me here, best follow my main page ;)

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

Thanks for visiting.
