This is lovely, reminds me of the lightening seeds. So different from your usual stuff.

When a long-term relationship comes to an end, there is almost inevitably a lot of bitterness, anger, upset and regret.  But as time moves along, in my experience at least, these are replaced by a gratitude that you were able to share precious moments with your partner and remember the everyday things that you will always treasure.

Last year, Terry and myself fell into a conversation about my marriage break-up - some eight years ago now - and for some reason I started to share with him all of the little things that made being with my ex-partner so special.  They weren’t earth shattering, just times when we did something ordinary, like cooking a really nice meal together or watching a movie we’d seen many times before and knew we would enjoy.

Sometimes, I’d lay in her lap as we watched.  She’d gently stroke my head and very often I’d fall into the deepest, most relaxing of sleeps.  All the cares of the outside world just drifted away, until it felt as as if we were the only two people in the world.  I’ve never known a feeling like it.  It was sheer and utter heaven.

When we split, she tried to make me understand that it was the right and proper thing to do and, although I went through all of the negative emotions described above, she was absolutely right.  The good times had gone and they were never coming back. That’s just the way life is sometimes.  

So this is the song that Tel wrote about the things I told him.  A sad song yes but tinged with the warm glow of great times shared.  It really is better to have loved and lost...

As always, with Tel’s wonderfully apposite lyrics to guide him, Hans understood exactly what the song was all about and the arrangement he put together sums up my feelings so much better than the words I’ve used here to describe them.  My deepest thanks to he and Terry for telling the story with such truth, compassion and intensity.  (Gary Reeves) 

Can there be just one more moment? 
A lovers dream to touch a single breath
Giving a lifetime to love just one more second 
One thousand heartbeats to stop the thought of death

I remember curling tightly on the sofa
I remember protection from the outside world
I remember feeling arms around my shoulders
I remember it so warm and tender not growing old
Not growing old

A book of moments can’t change an indiscretion 
The best there is seems to haunt the past
Deep depression equals every slice of laughter 
As a memory tries to make the good bits last
               
        CHORUS                 Middle

Hiding from the progress but avoiding backward steps
No comprehension why standing still can’t be the best
Every calculated journey causes fractures to the health 
Looking fine and healthy but not up to living like the rest

                          CHORUS

Looking at the mirror screwed tightly on the wall
No reflection of a happy face but the screws stopping the fall
Eyes fixed on the reason that seems to change all sounds
As the wrinkles prevent the facial skin slipping to the ground 

                          CHORUS X 2
Not growing old
Not growing old
Not growing old

Scared of success
Way down at bottom
I lost your address
Yeah the house that you grew in

I’m still just looking
At the imaginary view
My bus pass is busted
And I’m going nowhere
Got no change to use

This doesn’t feel the same
I’m in retrograde spinning
I don’t know your face
You’re just a memory swimming

Wish you the best
Whatever you’re doing
I got my own mess
It’s the same ache I’m chewing 

I’m still just looking
At this ordinary view
The last stop is over
And I’m nothing special
And this city is killer

It never felt this way
In a TV screen moving
I don’t know this place
I see you sitting there viewing
I never gave away 
All the secrets their brewing

I hear melodies. Then try to make them come to life with my very poor writing and singing skills. But I love the process
