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

hitting you with 2 60-minute mixes today. here is the second, its a 'wildcard' type of mix that i just had goin slowly in the background, only very sporadically adding on to it when the vibe was right. 'surreal secrets of the cloud cult' is a mood mix; its psychedelic, but not 'hippy-trippy'... its weird, experimental, lo-fi... kinda dusted... mysterious? if you like to drift into weirder musical territory you might dig this one a bunch

i buy a lot of vinyl and make mixtapes with tracks i'm feelin just for fun, not a proper DJ mix they're just 1 turntable recording to my tapedeck. just tryna share this music with others in hopes you might buy their records or support the artists you dig on here! hit me up anytime if you have questions on any of these tracks - i'm on Instagram more than here - https://www.instagram.com/a_ronious/

he told me bout the trail in the tunnel
that I'm walking while
I'm thinking other people's thoughts
little voices
like your father's father's father's
farther than the others
all combined and confined to a tunnel of your thinking
turn that little voice off in your head
he said

you may find it advantageous
in the long run
there's an exit but you gotta take it
while riding on the boxcars full of other people's junk
pulled by trains of thought
on shaky rails

scalar fields pt 3 tensor yields - with stonerjazz

my letters you saved, those people you hid

do you like the sun too?
lyrics coming soon :)

Morning Sun

wip

you can't
you can't
save me anymore

you care
you care
plainly, nothing more

the days are filled with blue
the nights are void of you
i'd say i'll see you soon
but i don't think i will

see you soon
