When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

Not Coming Back

Most of my songs come to me just before I fall asleep or just after I wake up. My brain's in a place of peace, quiet and openness at that time, I guess

Dream Come True


In a dream
she came to me
Claimed my heart
so easily

Sent me reeling
Barely breathing
Bedazzled me

Swept me up
in loving arms
with a dash of
magic charms

Helpless feeling
with no ceiling
God's majesty

I can't find
the words to say
to explain
that fateful day

The thunder rolled
All doubts did fold
Might seem a bit cliche

I was taken for a ride
I got to glimpse
the other side

A place of wonder
Unencumbered

It's true

Love came that day

You have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

Opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise
You've blown me away

I will start this very day
to show you
in every way

All my love for you
For my whole life through

You're my dream come true

I love you!

You're the one. I always knew
I love everything you do

With you time just flies
Never cloudy skies

You're my dream come true

I am yours from this day on
We have found a magic bond

that no one here can take
A bond that will not break

You're my dream come true

You and I we got it all
River wide and mountain tall

We will find our way
and cherish every day

You're my dream come true

 All I know is
you have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise

You're my dream come true

I love you!

V1
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, IT'S IN YOUR HAND
DON'T JUMP THE START, IT ALL ENDS FAST
V2
TO LOOK YOUR AGE, IS OUT OF STYLE
TO GO BACK IN TIME, THERE MUST BE DENIAL
(Ref)
WE'RE LIVING IN ENDLESS TIME
(Chorus)
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A LONLY DAY
WITH THAT FACE, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
YOU CAN CALL IT ALL YOU LIKE
BUT NOBODY LIVES, UNTILL THE END OF TIME
V3
YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT NOT YOUR HANDS
THE END OF THE WORLD HAS ALREADY PAST
(Ref)
WE'RE LIVING IN ENDLESS TIME
(Chorus)
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A LONLY DAY
WITH THAT FACE, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
YOU CAN CALL IT ALL YOU LIKE
BUT NOBODY LIVES, UNTILL THE END OF TIME
(Break)
(Ref)
WE'RE LIVING IN ENDLESS TIME
(Chorus)
YOU'VE NEVER HAD A LONLY DAY
WITH THAT FACE, IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
YOU CAN CALL IT ALL YOU LIKE
BUT NOBODY LIVES, UNTILL THE END OF TIME

ENDLESS TIME - (see info for video link)

I'm not sure which is more maddening these days — the situation in Ukraine or the situation in America. Hell, the middle east is also crap. I'm just mad at it all. 

The air-raid siren was recorded in Kyiv by vkvych (freesound.org).

Run For Cover

a remake I did last night of a classic song

LAST KISS (COVER/REMAKE)

The latest track from my Not Completely Useless project. I tend to think of it as a low-key one for me - still quite a bit going on; Sonic Youth-style triplet feel intro, bass grooves, organ, touches of syncopation and a change of pace for the outro... there's just not as much guitar heroics as usual.

This one is about missing my kids when I was away at a festival. And my eldest daughter - then 6 I think - wrote the lyrics for the chorus.

Haunting One Seven

A Deity Looks After Me

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

While waiting for my next cover... I found this cover from 30 years ago at the bottom of my drawers... I had the voice and the breath!...😊 But that was before! 😄 Now you have to lower it at least a tone or even two.
__________________________________________________________________

I love this song (I'm a Whitney Houston fan); it's thanks to this song that made her famous worldwide. She had a unique tone, a crystal clear voice.

Saving All My Love For You - Cover (Whitney Houston)

The Coast

"If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present." - Roy T. Bennett

A Monday piano improvisation...Wishing everyone listening happiness today.

Happiness

The long anticipated;) follow up has arrived.  I begin the song with a brief reprise of "Two Faced" to set the stage.  After the cold and bluster of March, the gentleness of spring and early summer is felt with a walk in the park.
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my ode to March and especially the interest shown in the little teaser, epilogue now a more complete thought.  As they say, "take time to smell the flowers":)

A Walk In The Park (David, acoustic guitars)

'universe of fun (in utero)'

Verity. We like verity. Music delivers us verity. It's like a universal tool to hone and send verity to our heads as therapeutic wonderfulness...

We are very proud to present the first of many organically grown collaboration between One Man Verity Show and The Beautiful Dark. This was effortless. I guess thats the other amazing thing that real musicians can share... For years we stare through our instruments at the world of music and then someday we connect and the visions combine. We'll keep comparing our world to the world of fake music until it is the fad that it should be... AI cannot deliver you a connection like we just started. You may get a remotely similar result but heres whats real... AI has never has our eyes to look at the woerld for 40 odd years with and it never will. Heres to real human connections and real music. Cheers Scotty

Lyrics

To fungi moulded brain
Ha, who said we'd go insane!
To moderation main
Lined musical brain plane

To psilocybin liberty cap
Old medicine love to fill knowledge gap
Hallucinogenic conscious calm
Serves melodic thought through mouth and palm

We let finger run
Good psilocybin
Add to the birdies fun
Just doppler effect to dumb
One day, we'll all catch on
Sign ourselves to sound and sum
Good, self inflicted
Pure positive prone
Liberties begin to clone
We spread and hone
Bottoms up good planet of one

Let the fingers run
Run 'em for the Sun
Moon rise dear man
Flashbacks from fungi fun
The Universe we stun
Universe of fun

universe of fun (in utero) (with the Beautiful Dark)

I'm not sure if the song is good or not. I'm pretty sure that is a small song, a result of a little bit of inspiration. I saw myself in the obligation of do it. At least, don't takes us away too much time to listen it. It is like all those songs we don't really like as "You mother should know", from the Beatles (saving a great distance, os course)
