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)

What a Friend had said

This is a song about the impermanence of relationships. In my younger years I assumed the people I knew would always be there and I would mourn the loss of those who drifted out of my life for whatever reason. Now I see it’s the temporary nature of relationships and everything else in life that gives it meaning.

I felt less lonely when I didn’t know you
Desert sunset
Lay underneath the stars
It’s cold outside
Thoughts running around my head
Running, running, running out of time
Running, running, running out of time
Songs are beautiful
Nothing changes if nothing changes 
No, nothing changes if nothing changes 
But it’s too late now, I remember everything 
I can feel the rain upon my skin
Raining down on me
Don’t make a sound
Thoughts running around my head
Running, running, running out of time
Running, running, running out of time
Songs are beautiful
Songs are beautiful, beautiful because they end

Songs Are Beautiful Because They End

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues

Nous ne sommes pas si différents

Les flamands roses
Sur la scène du Moulin Rouge…

Les loups
Partenaires pour la vie
L’amour est sacré

Les bonobos
Aiment tellement s’enlacer

Les libellules
Acrobates de l’amour… c’est compliqué

Les girafes, font durer le désir… 
Pour une minute de plaisir

Hippocampes
Petits coquins séducteurs

Perroquets, K K K 
Ils sont si jaloux

Nous sommes tous des annimaux

En quête

D’amour

Approcher

Toucher

Loyauté

Et tendresse…

Ou alors brut... futile... sauvage... et sans laisse

Nous ne sommes pas si différents

Et vous ? Lequel êtes-vous ?

Your Spell is an alchemical meeting of DÂNTE and Arula — a sonic ritual of masculine and feminine energies in deep interplay. Channeled in a single, intuitive session the original track unfolds like a dream: Arula’s hypnotic vocals merge with DÂNTE’s enchanted guitar leads weaving a spell of surrender, presence and embodied magic. A soft invocation that moves through the soul.

The EP also features three unique remixes that expand its sensual, mystical core. Oiseau de nuit and I’m Mady offer slowed-down, groovy and meditative takes, deepening the intimate atmosphere, while Dummy Splash adds an airy, experimental dimension lifting the track into ethereal realms. Together, they create a rich, dynamic journey through emotive soundscapes, offering listeners multiple pathways into the ritual — from grounded groove to cosmic drift.
