Cool track. I can definitely hear that Cars influence. I was a big fan of a group back in the day.

Love this style , When I was young, I really liked The Dictators, a band from New York.

When Kristyn, a talented drummer (https://soundcloud.com/kristyn-burke) proposed me to «symphonize» one of her tracks, I was very exciting for this challenge. So now I’m very proud to share it with you, enjoy it!

My wife Jo and I met at work, having applied for the same job and as luck would have it, we were both offered positions in the personnel department.  I was instantly attracted to her and though there was an eight year difference in age, we seemed to have a true likeness of mind, the only problem being that the two of us were in long-term relationships.  Still, this didn’t mean we couldn’t be friends and we began to spend many a happy lunch hour together. 

However, the more I got to know her, the more it became readily apparent that my feelings were much more than mere friendship.  What made every working day worthwhile were those lunch hours we’d spend together.  I simply couldn’t stop thinking about her but given our circumstances, I kept these feelings bottled up for two long years.  Eventually though, I decided to gather my courage in both hands and tell her I loved her.  To be honest, I expected to get a negative response but all she said was “We need to talk”.

We talked and talked and talked and talked about every potential eventuality but nothing ever changed the fact that I really did love her.  Despite the fact that she’d never considered the possibility of us being together, it was such a relief when she told me she was very willing to totally change the course of her life.  Talk about your heart skipping a beat…

OK, so it didn’t prove easy but neither of us has ever regretted one single thing.  Thirty five years on, we are still very much in love and this song celebrates those wonderful lunchtime meetings, sharing more and more of our feelings, growing ever close through a friendship that became a bond as close as any couple could wish to have.  We hadn’t a clue where it would go and yet here we both are.  I still cannot stop loving her.

I owe a debt of thanks to Hans and Gal who pulled out all the stops to get this song ready for Jo’s 58th birthday.  Cheers boys! (Terry Reeves)

A friendship without complications
Conversations with no need to end
No conditions between sharing moments 
Chance to smile avoid thoughts to send

Chorus:
I cannot stop, cannot stop, I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop loving the way you move
I cannot stop loving you
I cannot stop hearing your loving groove 

Space between survives the madness 
Surrounding words no sense to see
Sharing stories sometimes sadness
Not knowing why we should let it be

Chorus

Surprise connection with a distance
No disagreement but avoid a close look
Cautions grow, can’t change persistence 
The fairytale of perfect stays in the book

Chorus

I CANNOT STOP LOVING YOU - CRIPPLE CLUB

I was inspired by the organic bass playing I received from the talented musician Gonzo J. Francès from Barcelona. I asked him to lend me some bass phrases. His bass phrases are much more expressive than sequences with accents on finger movements. I couldn't compose this song without turning everything I've experienced upside down. I'm totally inspired!

I wanted to do another take of this original song, it's one of my favorites. It needed a bit of a tempo change. Got this live take down in one take which is always nice:) I started writing this song back in 2015 in a very difficult time in my life.  Written to myself, and I hope it will encourage you. For all the dreamers out there. Thanks so much for listening! Stay strong out there and remember the moon is all beat up but shines when you look up!

My Dreamer 

What a lonely night
Not an easy fight at all 
So many dark streets
Tearing up heartbeats brick wall
All those mountain tops
All those sudden drops free fall
Your soul needs your knees 
To be strong like trees stand tall
Remember 

The moon is all beat up but shines when you look up oh my dreamer
Hope you don't give up hope you don't grow up oh my dreamer
Try and keep your eyes up when all your doubts wash
Oh my dreamer

All those pretty eyes 
Promising blue skies no call
Scared there is no hope 
Tired of a slick slope to crawl
Everything is dark 
Happy for a spark so small 
Your heart sees your bones 
Colorful gemstones don't stall
Remember

The moon is all beat up but shines when you look up oh my dreamer
Hope you don't give up hope you don't grow up oh my dreamer
Try and keep your eyes up when all your doubts wash
Oh my dreamer
Oh my dreamer oooo oooo 
Oh my dreamer oooo oooo 

Remember
The moon is all beat up but shines when you look up oh my dreamer

My Dreamer (Original song live)

Sojurn May 2025 - Music for String Quartet

This is an old song written around 2001 when I was a very unhappy bachelor! It was 3 years before I met the love of my life and I guess I was a victim of love!  I was trying to write a Pop Punk Rock song, similar to The Cars of the 80's & 90's. I think I failed, what else is new!! 😣 This was recorded on an old TASCAM 8-track recorder and it sounds very tinny and not very well mixed. I was going to re-record it now with my new equipment but I'm just too behind in other projects to record everything over again, so what you hear, is what you get! Written and recorded around the same time as "Beautiful Blonde" and "That's Between Me and You", as a matter of fact I found this one while I was doing the video for "Beautiful Blonde". Everything is me on this one, including vocals (please forgive) but in a weird quirky way, I kind of like it, it could be a hit, if it was recorded and sung properly. I edited it down a bit, took off about 1 minute and added some new audio special effects here and there. This song is totally about nothing and made up in the studio. Just a guy telling himself he's NOT a victim of love when in fact he very much IS a victim of love! The irony is delicious!😂 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/pbe_jm38lfw

The video is brand new, I just finished it last month and it's better than the song itself, in my opinion! There are some comic bits in the video since it's a very light hearted song. Thanks for listening & watching and I hope everyone likes it!🙏 Here's a Love Test for you! Just repeat "I'm not a victim of love" 3 times quickly and tap your heels together and if nothing happens you're a victim of love!👍😎✌🏼

“VICTIM OF LOVE”

I WON’T STOP YOU,  
WALK YOUR PRETTY-SELF OUT THAT DOOR,     
IF THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY,   
YOU CAN’T HURT ME ANYMORE,
          
YOUR TEARS WON’T AFFECT ME, 
YOU WON’T BREAK MY HEART AGAIN,     
SO LEAVE IF YOU WANT TO,    
BUT THERE’S NO COMING BACK MY FRIEND,
     
I’LL STAND MY GROUND,        
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT WEARS ME DOWN,       
YOU WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME, 
B-B-BABY,          
I’LL BE AROUND,        
YOU CAN DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND,      
I’M IMMUNE TO YOUR VELVET GLOVE,        
AND I’M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,  

DON’T WASTE MY TIME,   
IF YOU DON’T LOVE ME THEN SAY GOODBYE,   
EITHER WAY, I’M OKAY,    
BUT YOU WON’T FOOL ME WITH YOUR LIES,
                                                           
DON’T EXPECT ME,               
TO BREAKDOWN BECAUSE YOU’RE GONE,   
DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT,     
BUT YOU’LL REGRET IT IF YOU’RE WRONG, 

I’LL STAND MY GROUND,         
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT WEARS ME DOWN,        
YOU WON’T GET THE BEST OF ME, 
B-B-BABY,        
I’LL BE AROUND,        
YOU CAN DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A SOUND,        
I’M IMMUNE TO YOUR VELVET GLOVE,         
AND I’M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,         
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,        
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE,        
I'M NOT A VICTIM OF LOVE!

A Storm In The Desert

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
