This song is about the first time my eldest son realised that nothing in life is forever.  He was just 5 at the time.  One evening, I was giving him a bath when, completely out of the blue, he asked me “Where’s your Dad today?” 

My Dad had died a couple of years before Jason was born and, whilst I had no problem giving him a straight answer, did wonder what had suddenly prompted the question.

I tried to explain that my Dad was no longer alive, a difficult concept for a child of 5 to fully grasp, hence his follow-up question, “Is he playing games and pretending, just like you and me?” 

There’s nothing my Dad would have loved more than to come over and play some games, and I found it more than a little tricky to tell Jason exactly why he couldn’t.  He was asking who my Dad was - “Who do you talk to? Who do you play with?” - and I had to find a way of telling him that, at some point, everyone’s life just kind of moves on.

As he processed this, his eyes started to well with tears.  He asked me if I would always be there, and if I would always be his Dad and I told him that, whatever happened, there would only ever be one Dad for us both.  The fact that I too was now crying may well have made this rather hard to decipher, but the hug he gave me showed just how much he understood.  It was a moment I have never forgotten.

Sharing that moment is something we still talk about, a memory we both recall with such clarity and such overwhelming fondness, a remembrance that will last the rest of our lives.

As always, working on this track with Hans has been such a complete pleasure.  He is not only a master musician and producer but a brilliant interpreter of songs – this track is everything I wanted it to be, and I cannot thank him enough for that.

LYRICS

Father to Son (Written By Terry Reeves April 1995)

Always asking where's your Dad today
Is he coming round our house to play
But I tell him no he's gone
Got a feeling he won't be around

Then he asks is he playing games
Just pretending like you and me
There’s no hiding where he had to go
Will not get the chance to say hello

I want him to know
Didn’t want him to go                          CHORUS
I want him to see
Didn’t want him to go

If he loved you did he have to leave
Did you cry did he wave his hand
Lots of sadness when the moment came
Passing years sometimes helps the pain

Has he gone now is he coming back
If he’s not then who will be my Dad
Then I tell him I cannot replace
Man inside will always show his face

I want him to know
Didn’t want him to go
I want him to see

MIDDLE

As the sadness shows surprise 
I knew him more
As he filtered to recognise 
I knew him more
As the tears filled up his eyes
I knew him more
As he started to realise 
I knew him more 
I knew him more 
I knew him more 


Do you love me are you growing old
Will you leave me can you always stay
Yes I tell him there will never be
Any other Dad for you or me


I want him to know.

Father To Son (Collab. with Hans Albers)

The solitude of the journey nearly brought our protagonist to the brink of insanity (https://soundcloud.com/gunnarsletta/beyond-the-edge), but he finds peace of mind thinking of his home..

Lyrics:

Deep in this mental maze, 
I'm trying to carve my way
out to a brighter state.
I need a new place to hold on to

I've been lost and too selfish to see
that no one's to blame but me.
I need to fight that feeling inside.
I need a new place to hold on to.

So I delve deep into my past,
through times that I have lived.
And it dawns on me..
I find what I need to hold on to.

Back to the place where I grew up,
to the place where I learned 
who I'm supposed to be..
The anchor that I can hold on to

A place where encouragement stayed
Rather than taking my chances away
A place to prosper and grow
In the sanctuary of my home...
x2

Though we are far away,
the memories are clear in my mind 
And it stands to me as 
A beacon that I can hold on to

I've been lost in this mental maze,
But now I have found my way out 
To a brighter state..
I've found what I need to hold on 

A place where encouragement stayed
Rather than taking my chances away
A place to prosper and grow
In the sanctuary of my home...
x2

Hollywood 

Intro - Improv

As they walk on down
The boulevard
Of broken dreams

There's neither hope nor happiness it seems
Staring at the bright light flares
Turning slowly into nightmares
Moonlight cityscape, the fake acrylic
Becoming less and less idyllic
There the countless and the nameless
All drawn into the light
Where most will burn
Just burn, burn, burn

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

Hidden plastic people
With stainless steel unbeating hearts
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots
Unpaid extras in some movie parts
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots
Silent silk, silent silk screened robots

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Hollywood yet a place of wonder
Where Gigolo and Gigolette
Can steal a kiss without regret
Without regret

Now it's me just walkin' down
The boulevard of broken dreams
Without a happy endin'
Without a happy end
In plot and schemes

THE NIGHT HAS COME

Now that we are trapped in the dust
we miss the sky.
Past beauty seems like a dream
we’ll never find. 

We can’t return,
there’s no way back.
We didn’t do what we were told,
try to understand.
The game is over, 
we’ve lost the war. 
Now we are longing on this darkness
for what is gone.

We are in desert of smoke, 
look what we’ve got
only shambles on the sight
hopeless souls. 

What we loved
burnt in fire
and we are standing.
Peaceful days
melting down
now the night has come.

Memories of better times
come to my  mind.
We see their shade as we pass
and wave goodbye.

It’s hard to know
we walk alone
closed all the doors and now we have
nowhere to go. 

Take all your sadness 
let it rage on.
Now that the history is erased
we should put new words.

Someday the rain will return
and clean the scars
until the we shall better force
our aim to survive.

What we loved
burnt in fire
and we are standing.
Peaceful days
melting down
now the night has come.

Inspired by a recurring dream I used to have about endlessly sinking in a deep ocean I came up with this ambient-ish track. Didn't occur to me to look up what a dream like that can mean until recently and it turns out there are both negative and positive interpretations possible if one is to believe all-knowing Google. 

On a desperate note "To dream of sinking represents feelings of slow loss, despair, or losing ground. You are feeling overwhelmed or unable to stop a negative situation from getting worse. A fear of unstoppable failure. Someone or something is dragging you down. You may be experiencing low self-esteem and confidence. Needing help that is either not available or that you are not being assertive enough about asking for. Feeling pressure to make a decision or change before total embarrassment occurs. A situation that is deteriorating. Feelings about your worst fears becoming a reality. Feelings about being unable to help others. Feeling that you can’t stop your life from getting worse."

Now, I can't remember ever feeling like that when I was having this dream - it's been over 10 years since the last one. But, who knows, maybe those were my subconscience feelings.
 
I prefer a more positive view "A dream about sinking may reflect an unpleasant stage of your life that is coming to an end. Problems or bad people that seem to be slowly going away on their own. Experiencing your enemies succumbing to humiliation."

That last sentence may be wishful thinking haha...., not that I can think of any enemies.

Feel free to comment about your own recurring dreams if you have any and enjoy the music. 

Some fellow Soundclouders have already shared their dreams with me:
- a professor showing up in class with no clothes
- teeth falling out and rattling 
- the gourmet chef
- reading a book word for word
- car crash savior
- pulling a moving earth together with a lifeline

DREAM REPEAT

Helplessly I’m falling
Needlessly I’m drowning

Endless depths swallow me
A faint light shimmering

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
We can look ahead
The danger is past
Our time is now
Fate in our hands
Your hands
My hands

It’s all over
All over
All over

Fathoms above crushing me
Creatures below beckoning

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
All over
It’s all over

New Norm Lyrics
This one is called New Norm. About the after effect of a fearful crazy world. A kind of 1984 scenario. This is in 5/4 time.

Lyrics;
  Click on the tube and see whats going on
Good morning somewhere in the dark before dawn
Change the channel man I'm tired of cartoons
Can't go outside. It's like I'm living on the moon 

River running dry
Got a cloudless sky
Ration what you need
Not the time for greed
They've closed down all the stores
Not much to sell no more
Except for books that no one wants to read

Not much news from home
Not much getting through
Haven't heard from them
Hope to hear from you
Turning up the sound listen to some songs
Forget the weatherman, he always gets it wrong
And it's getting dark . Nighttime coming soon
Life gets pretty dull Living on the moon

Wasn't long ago when the sky was blue
The grass and trees were green so much we could do
Before we shut the doors preparing for the storm
And we locked in place to face a brand new norm.


The airships hover overhead so I don't go outside
I does no good to run away you've got no place to hide
The weatherman said change will come can't get here too soon
Cause nothing seems to change. Its like I'm living on the moon

No small steps no giant leaps
Shut the windows tight. Keeping out the creeps
It's like a holiday that cannot end too soon
Home is not like home no more I'm living on the moon

Click on the tube let's see whats going on
Good morning somewhere in the dark before dawn
Change the channel man I'm tired of cartoons
Breathing my own air inside of my balloon
Calling Major Tom you left us all too soon
Floating in your tin can way above the moon

Got a cloudless sky
River's running dry
Ration what you need
This ain't the time for greed

New Norm

Yes, I’m happy that you are kind.
I really like when you use your mind.

Love from the heart.

I’ve been a Beatles’ fan since my 2 brothers started buying their records in the early 60’s, not only because their sound completely revolutionized my attitude to music but also because of their take on life.  They were so completely unafraid to say what they thought, a stance that not only resonated with me but with the youth of the entire world.  Theirs was a cultural force that changed everything, a thread indelibly stitched into the fabric of the way we live now.  For that, I think we owe them so much.  Best band there ever was, is and always will be. 
Again, I owe a huge debt of thanks to Hans for making this song everything I wanted it to be.  His talent never ceases to amaze me, something I always say but which is nonetheless so true. 

Wanted to let you all know that the Cripple Club album is finally ready for release.  There is a free download available on BandCamp which, considering it comprises 31 tracks, we’ve split into 2 volumes.  Just click on these links and enter 0.00 in the payment box. 
Volume One: https://crippleclub.bandcamp.com/album/another-zero-volume-one-2 
Volume Two:  https://crippleclub.bandcamp.com/album/another-zero-volume-two-2
If you’re interested, there is also a double disc, vinyl version (18 tracks, which is all we had room for), which we were lucky enough to have mastered at Abbey Road Studios – and it does sound rather good if we do say so ourselves.  There’s also a CD version, containing the full complement of tracks, which comes packaged with a 24 page booklet.  If anyone is interested in obtaining either of these, just message us and we’ll let you know how much it will cost to send it to you, wherever in the world you happen to be.
Deep apologies are due to those we’ve already promised a copy to.  The lockdown has made getting to the Post Office very tricky but, rest assured, we plan on getting these to you very, very soon.  Thank you so much for your patience.
And thanks to all for your continuing support.  We never take it for granted.
(Terry Reeves) 
Lyrics:
Brian and George bringing life to a quartet 
A liberation of art with a social pop 
Hard day’s night but love me do as always
Starting at the start not letting yesterday drop

Chorus:
They had a spell on me
Nothing else would be the same
They had a spell on me
More than music kept me riding the train

Moore, Chapman, Newby, Sutcliffe and Best     
Couldn’t come together to keep hanging on
But who would imagine this revolution of four
Would get a ticket to ride and give freedom to John

Chorus

The day tripper moved from Liverpool to Abbey Road 
Up the long and winding road from the cavernous Casbah
I don’t want to spoil the party but it’s hard to believe
 I got to drive your car through green, red and amber

Chorus

Combining music with life and a twist and shout
Showed so many good times with a freedom of thought 
A green apple a day persuading Doctor Robert to stay
Here comes the sun preventing a narcotic drought 

They put a spell on me
Nothing else would be the same
They put a spell on me
More than music kept me riding the train

I have always loved the rather risqué ‘Leather’ by Legpuppy and was blown away when the band agreed to me doing a remix of it.  This really has been a labour of love for me, adding my own ideas, restructuring the track and experimenting with the stems: I hope that I have done the track justice.  

You can hear the original version at https://soundcloud.com/legpuppy/leather
Legpuppy have also done a video for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9W-qlyBYJ4&feature=em-lsp

Douglas Adams challenged the world and asked the question “Why?” in such a witty and perceptive way that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it captured my reason to be in a way no writer has before or since. “The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy” has become an international best seller so it’s therefore a surprise, at least to me, not to see his name mentioned more frequently on regularly published lists of history’s most significant authors.  Whilst it’s no doubt true that I wouldn’t be someone whose opinion you’d seek out as an authority on such things, I do find it hard to believe that a man who created something so hilariously and philosophically original doesn’t get the true recognition he deserves. “Hitch Hiker” was so much more than a work of science fiction.  It was something that taught us the valuable life lesson that there really was no need to have an answer to everything.
Has anyone heard of Douglas? Well, he was certainly the man who let me know I wasn't on my own.

Once again, my grateful thanks to Hans (also a ‘Hitch Hiker’ fan, by the way) for the brilliant arrangement on this song.  But he’s just this guy, you know…
(Terry Reeves)

Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Writing life is for the living words
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Tried not to kill a mocking bird

Has anyone heard of Douglas? 
Madness now was so profound 
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
He was not far from the madding crowd

Dickens, Lee, Lewis and Christie
Tolkien, Dahl, Fleming, and Rushdie
Kawakami, Smith, Whitehead and Orwell
Shakespeare, Austin, Pepper, and Powell

Does anyone remember Douglas? 
Forty two the reason why?
Does anyone remember Douglas?
Who was once the Catcher in the rye

Can anyone remember Douglas?
He had a gold but broken heart
Can anyone remember Douglas?
An Adam Blithe Spirit from the start

Ishiguro, Kipling, Russel, and Lessing
Fitzgerald, Woolf, Cookson, and Gissing 
Bronte, Thackeray, Richardson and Hardy
Winterson, Walker, Tan and Galsworthy 

Has anyone seen my Douglas? 
Taking as many baths time will allow
Has anyone read my Douglas? 
Climbing 39 steps with his towel 

Has anyone seen my Douglas?
Hitching to a galaxy of his own
Has anyone considered Douglas?
Taking us all To a God Unknown

Trollope, Butler, Smith and Beckett 
Hollinghurst, Gibbons, Golding but DON’T PANIC
Stein, Doyle, Tolstoy, and Adams
Checkhov, Vern, Steel, and the one and only Douglas Noël Adams

"Solid Ground" 

Music, vocals, and lyrics by me:
--------------------------------------------------
One day maybe you’ll understand
What it really means to be a stranger
A stranger in a land you were born in
And have the strength to stand for everyone 

To stand up for yourself 
To never be afraid
To face this bitter crowd 
To be on solid ground

One day maybe you’ll realize
That everytime you lie you’ll be a stranger
A stranger to the one who really needs you
A stranger to the ones on solid ground 

Stand up for yourself 
Don't be afraid of everyone
Only thing that matters is what you really are 
And if you have the strength to stay on solid ground… 

Doesn't matter what they say 
Only thing that matters is what you are 
Doesn't matter what they do 
Only thing that matters is who you are

Solid Ground

A thousand thanks to Sean Nerney for his brilliant adds! This song is based on the book The Perfume by Patrick Süskind and the film by Tom Tykwer. I worked on this song for three months and it drove both Ben and Stephanie to the edge of madness. But it was worth all the effort. Thanks for the attention!

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
