Nu One

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

Void Century

Distanced

The future’s so bright shades aren’t going to help.

Tomorrow Will Be Fine

This track is about crossing over to the other side. I have tried to capture that moment when it happens and my feelings around that, since I have seen it quite a few times over the years.

The Sunset In Your Eyes

There is no Trump above the clouds!
Clear your minds of the biggest troll in the world!

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)

I am a Survivor
Music, Vocals and production by Bruce Kenyon
Lyrics by Andrea Brennan

V1
Standing at your grave site
I am fearful and cold
You weren't supposed to leave me
I'm just eighteen years old

V2
The world is a monster 
I will now face alone
But I have your love inside my heart
And your strength inside my bones

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

V3
Silent tears sting my eyes
As I resolve to go
Heading off towards my future 
Down an uncharted road

V4
Mistakes they may find me 
With every wrong turn
But I will keep (on) growing stronger
With every lesson I learn

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

Bridge
You were my nest and oak tree
My sanctuary
My river and compass
Always guiding me
And every heartfelt stitch 
In our woven tapestry
All of these things
All these memories (optional L7 or L8)
Live on in me

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright

I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

I AM A SURVIVOR

Lyrics: Till It's Gone

I was young and full of fire, 
never thought I'd ever tire
Didn’t know the time would fly
and leave me wondering why
Now that I’m old and all alone
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone 

I chased the dollar every day
didn’t take the time to play
With my kids, my wife, my kin
now I see where I’ve been
They’re all grown and far away
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone

I’ve lived life through highs and lows
Seen love and loss in equal rows
Don’t let regret become your song
Hold tight to joy before it’s done
But now I know what matters most 
You don’t know what you have till it’s gone

So hear me now while you’re young
don’t let your life be unsung
Cherish every moment bright
hold your loved ones really tight
For one day you’ll look back and see
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone, Yeah


Till it's Gone

LYRICS

Music is in You Music is in Me                                                    
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try                                                                                                  
it's part of   Life...
Music all the time

Child yet feel it 
Youth can play it
Elders still make it
Some are famous and wealthy
Some are poor materially 
but so rich artistically....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music Day & Night

Music comes from Deep inside
Expressing the subtile
from Souls to Souls
Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music all the Time

Music is Voice of People
Sounds of the Earth
Music can make us feel Higher
bring us together

Couldn't live without her....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music day & night

...All the time...

Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....
