Lyrics :- All Of This Falls Away

All of this falls away,
But I want you to stay!
I like it where you are,
So near but so far,
But yet so far,
It's been great,
Hearing about you,
Carve out your way,
Not taking anything lightly,
Young and sprightly,
Nimble and slowly...
Yeah, nimble and slowly...
Making your way;
In this life,
Hopefully your happy?
And seeing how great,
This life is...?
It's not hard,
To make the best of things...
How they are, when they lie,
how they lie, when they do,
When they do,
When they do, when they do, 
when they do!

All Of This Falls Away

You might imagine that this song is very much influenced by Paul McCartney’s classic but although it certainly covers similar ground, the route via which it came to be has a genesis all it’s own.

Some months ago, Barbara Browning & Imre Lodbrog covered one of my songs, ‘Who’s Gonna Be My King’ (https://soundcloud.com/barbarabrowning/whos-gonna-be-my-king?si=e95c961d64c34c798ce64a06d2c3c767).  One of the many delights of hearing it was that, from their garden, you can clearly hear a blackbird singing, almost as if he or she were somehow joining in with them. I’d written the original as a lament to my late brother Bri and every element of Barbara & Imre's version resonated so deeply that it stuck in my mind for quite some time. 

In the early Summer, the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement was beginning to receive some rather  negative press reaction, something that was, to me, entirely and unforgivably misplaced.  Whenever I listened to B & I's version of ‘King', the feelings I still harboured about how unfair and undeserved Bri’s death had been somehow became intertwined with those I was having about the criticism the ‘BLM’ movement was receiving. 

So that was how this song came to be written.  I realise it’s just a cathartic exercise, one that isn’t going to change the world, merely being something I felt needed saying.  What I do know is that it’s a song that I love to sing because I mean every word.

It has been said so many times in these descriptions just how amazing a musician Hans Albers is and with this song he surpassed himself by producing four different versions from the demo I’d sent, all different and all completely wonderful.  Hans had written a tune called ‘Werewolf’ some years before which had a very similar chord structure and he  experimented to see if the two would fit together.  As things turned out, they were a perfect match, which is why we chose to post the version we have.  We hope you enjoy it.  (Terry Reeves)

A mirror image of many things seen before 
Reflecting faces behind slow closing doors
Asking questions to those who lived before
To those who lived before

Time to move forward and statues to ignore 
Duplications of fears hoping to leave all behind
No more chains, No more chains, No more chains 
To holdback opinions of kind 

I heard The Blackbird sing (x 4)

A birthplace of distance not to forget in mind
Born on one planet to help one planet rewind
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast 

No secret should be held of any slavery plan
Celebrating in marble supporting political scams
Family riches remain controlled in Buckingham 
No apologies given rejecting any honest exam

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

What happens when clones repeat living past
Historical opinions keep a discriminating cast
Change of scenery distance and hopeful contrast 
The reality of truth in time can never be too fast

I hear The Blackbird sing (x 4)

BLACKBIRD SING (Feat. The Werewolf Orchestra) - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated
'cause they're full of shit
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers
To help them control us
To force us to do shit
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

Hold The Line

Oh, stop staring at he sun
It's blinding everyone
Turn towards the shade
And you might see what's going on
Adjust your focal lens
Engage your common sense
When you find reality
Be sure to share it with your friends

It's us not them

You're not the one to blame
They've played a blinding game
But now they've overplayed their hand
There's desperation in their pace
Let them know you know
Find your stolen voice
Don't ever let them think they
Have the power to take away your choice

It's us not them

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't ever forget this my friend

Us Not Them

Freedom

I start out so many days
Just like I'm ready for winding down
I shout out in fits of rage
Just as I'm chilling out
I got loose change falling out my pocket
I feel strange tonight
I can't walk straight, I've lost my balance
Now I'm taking flight

And I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

I've got throbbing veins
Tryna keep up with the rush of blood to my head
I've got muscle strains
Every morning as I wake up in bed

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

Upside Down

Happy Birthday

Turns out that happiness consists of a guitar, a tambourine, an old song, and a very good friend.

singing and strumming - Karen "Kiki" Jackson
singing and operating the tambourine - little old me

Where You Lead (Carole King Cover with Kiki Jackson)

Back in the day they touted fuck the police
But now we need them right beside us shouting fuck the elites
It's raining red pills out here on these streets
So as you learn these vital messages, sit tight in ya seats
So many lies so many dark fuelled trends
To keep the blind eyes smiling back at the lens
keep the truth bombs bouncing of your defence
Coz you're to fucking stupid to see common sense

They don't want us seeing behind the curtain
So what better distraction than to keep us all hurting
Look around you'll see the sheep dog circling ya
Keeping ya nervous, on edge and uncertain
When in ya life did you see so much fear speed through the
Media than you've seen this last couple of years
Everything is a crisis, everything's getting worse
Every penny is evaporating out of your purse
Every shoulder is looked over every waking minute
Coz you can't trust anybody everyone's full of shit
I Don't even know if all of my friends still exist
Coz I ain't heard nothing from them since the start of all this

(It's fucked up)

I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that


Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other

(Wake the fuck up)


You think your free but you're a slave to the system
Ever since you been born you've been whipped and down beaten
Rules and regulations to stop ya free thinking
Pretty colours on your screen keep ya chewing and blinking
Your as free they designed you to be
Ya see the visions they allow you to see
But if you love your strings the puppet is free
That's from a quote look it up, don't credit me

I know it's cosy and warm in that fleece
And once you wake up there'll be no more sleeping
So I can't blame ya for not listening to me
It's just my last ditch attempt to help the blind to see that

Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)
Unity matters
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Conditioned to hate each other

(Wake the fuck up)


Together we are strong
And this is what they fear
They've divided all along
Look back through the years
Together we are one
Peace will find us here
Where no one is alone
No one lives in fear

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity matters
All creed all colours
We're all sisters and brothers
Played against each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Your voices matter
Pull ya head from the covers
We're all sisters and brothers
Instead of hating each other

(Wake the fuck up)

Unity Matters (WTFU)

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

"Believe again"
When i was a kid, i never cried
many books have closed
and the tears are flowing now
how to trust again
how to still believe
to all the promises

When i was, a teenager
head full of positive things.
many pages have been turned
now the rivers have dried up
tell me how to believe again
in all this confusion
tell me how to believe again
in this illusion...

when i was in my thirties
nothing scared me
but fire and blood in our lives
makes me fear the worst
how to trust again
how to still believe
in this crazy world

once, the sky was clear
but time has done its job
could you tell me the secret
could you tell me what to do
to go back, believe again
to go back believe again...

Quand j'étais enfant, je ne pleurais jamais.
de nombreux livres se sont fermés
et les larmes coulent maintenant
comment refaire confiance
comment croire encore
à toutes les promesses

Quand j'étais adolescent
la tête pleine de choses positives.
Mais de nombreuses pages ont été tournées
maintenant les rivières se sont asséchées
Dis-moi comment croire à nouveau
dans toute cette confusion
Dis-moi comment croire à nouveau
dans cette illusion...

quand j'étais dans la trentaine
rien ne me faisait peur
mais le feu et le sang dans nos vies
me fait craindre le pire
comment refaire confiance
comment croire encore
dans ce monde de fous?

autrefois, le ciel était clair
mais le temps a fait son oeuvre.
pourriez-vous me dire le secret
pourriez-vous me dire quoi faire
revenir en arrière, croire à nouveau
Faire demi-tour et croire à nouveau...

An Jazz track inspired by one of the very 
beautiful photos brought back by Julie during a recent 
trip to Thailand.
Many thanks to Julie.

Un titre Jazz inspiré d'une des très
belles photos prises par Julie lors d'un récent
voyage en Thaïlande.
Un grand merci à Julie.

---- Pas à pas  -----

J'irais là où tu voudras,
j'ferais fi de tous les aléas,
et même parfois si je faiblis,
si je suis même anéanti,
je marcherais toute la nuit,
à tes côtés et sans un bruit,
malgré le noir et les embûches,
et même parfois si je trébuche,
j'irais là où tu iras,
te suivrais pas à pas,

Pas à pas

Very proud of this collaboration with the enigma that is Belial Pelegrim
https://soundcloud.com/belial-pelegrim
It was such a pleasure to work with him , I had been meaning to ask him for a long time if he would consider a collab with me and i feel we created something very special together.
Lyrics:-
The thorn on the rose
Blood spilled
The long sleep that followed
Instilled
The heart of the Kingdom
Cold stone
The will of the people
Unknown

We have become so dumb
Now is the time
The spell is undone
I have been praying
For everyone
Knowing it's time
The spell is undone

The Spell Is Undone - Belial Pelegrim & winkandwoo

Out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Crawling the floors
Clawing the walls
Smiling out from an empty shell
Closing the doors
Embracing the falls
Tied up in a personal hell

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

Curl up in bed
Bury my head
Style it out while I hide my face
So much to say
But nothing was said
While all those thoughts went to waste

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

My heart kept on thumping
My blood kept on flowing
My pulse kept on throbbing
And all the while no one knowing
I was out of my mind

I was out of my mind

Thumping

Sunshine on my back.
It's beginning to decline.
It doesn't make me happy and looks not at all lovely.

We are living in the age of dusk.
The night is long and the dawn will be far.


Ruined civilization left one poetry to us.
We should begin to write it shortly, if someone will read.

The end will come calmly little by little.
I feel sunshine on my back.


The choirs singing uprose and filled the church.
The voice of prayer is drowning in the strong wind.


Sunshine on my back.
That shine is not strong anymore.
Looking for lost things, we wander in the town.

We've consumed all the things.
Whom do I say goodbye to?

Sunshine On My Back

That's the 8th track of our second album "Homemade music", enjoy :)

I was killed by the hand of a hit man 
sent by someone who wanted me to shut up,
two shots rang out in the night, such an awful sound,
were enough to send me laying on the ground.

But I'm not shutting up, thanks to this pre-recorded song,
I keep telling my version of the story, though I'm definitely gone.
Greetings to my family and friends, they must go on without me
but for now I'm able to stay down here in the grave, and yet say hi.

I'm thinking about the story of the so many people 
whose lives they risked to lose, in loving of the truth.
These are real leader.

There's no honour in dying, you know,
the honour is staying alive.

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
