4 Star Commended Entry in the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest

For anyone, who has had to live in any form of isolation or restriction, like many of us in 2020/2021, it's mostly the small, simple, everyday things that you miss.

Waiting  for  the  world  to  get  back  upon  its  feet,    
Been  so  long  waiting  in  the  wings,  
Getting  hard  to  remember  how  things  really  were,   
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  

Like,  casual  conversations  with  strangers  that  you  meet,   
Hanging  out  with  friends,  and  simply  walking  down  the  street,                  
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  
   
Like,  sitting  at  the  coffee  shop,  watching  people  passing  by,   
Seeing  mothers  pushing  push-chairs  while  their  little  babies  cry,   
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  

Waiting  for  the  world  to  get  back  upon  its  feet,   
It's been  so  long  waiting  in  the  wings,  
Getting  hard  to  remember  how  things  really  were,                  
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  

Like,  taking  a  bus  ride,  three  stops  down  the  road,   
Meeting  friends  for  dinner,  and  hosting  them  at  home,   
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  

Like,  shopping  unconcerned,  without  watching  my  back,   
Making  pointless  journeys  and  other  things  like  that,   
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  

Waiting  for  the  world  to  get  back  upon  its  feet,   
I've spent so  long  waiting  in  the  wings,  
It's getting  hard  to  remember  how  things  really  were,       
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,  
How  I  miss  the  ordinary  things,

Lyrics:

Bodhran’s Dream 

A silver veil hangs sweet and low
The sea pulls her skirt in the wind
Gazing over Tempters cliff, 
The heart calls a future unmet
Two hands upon a timeless face
Who never seem able to meet
But Time has sold what should have been
And I can’t let go of this dream

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others’ arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me.

Holding on to memories
That glisten like pearls on a string
And where this ends, no one can know,
But hope is where all this begins…

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me…. Live it with me…

#16 (Number 16)

A bit late,but best wishes to y'all. 

I hope this is a good year
I hope for me and you
I hope for warmth and good cheer
In twenty twentytwo

I'll raise a glass,here's to you all
Together we can do
Before our final curtain call
Let live twenty twentytwo

May your time be ever golden
May you see your trouble through
May you never be beholden
In twenty twentytwo

Remember what we took for granted
Remember what we thought was free
Isolated disenchanted
Life has no guarantee

Here's to all the tired and weary
I wish the best for you
A year that's not so dreary
In twenty twentytwo

(Twenty) 22

Evanescence

This is my newest song - written in the last 2 weeks (Feb 2022). The most important Love in the world is self love. In the darkest of times having an internal dialogue was crucial.  This is quite literally me having a conversation with myself.  Everything is temporary and it too shall pass..

Conversations With Myself (Demo 2022)

okay I fleshed it out and worked on the vocal...
NOTE: I finally took those annoying breaths out of the vocal track!

This one’s gonna hurt, it’s gonna make me wanna cry
And turn things upside down, and still I’ll wonder why
You made me feel alive, but now I want to die
You took away my wings when you taught me how to fly

This one’s gonna hurt, more than anything I’ve known
It makes me question everything, what is right and what is wrong
What it means to be redeemed, to come off of that ledge
And you see the one you love still dancing on the edge

In this dirty dusty room, it’s like an empty tomb
There’s an echo in the hall, but no one there to hear me call
But know I tried to make it right
I tried to save us from the fall

I don’t know what to do, I can’t believe it’s true
I was lost inside a dream, but I know now what it means
To wake up in the cold, when everything went wrong
And the life we knew is gone

This one’s gonna hurt, and it’s more than I can stand
When I can’t hold you close, with these two empty hands
I was searching for a sign, to know how you would feel
I wish I could change your mind
But I know you never will…

This Ones Gonna Hurt (Complete Mix)

This one wrote itself late one night........my fav time to write a tune

Just Like The Night

Massive thanks to Fady for reaching out with this incredibly produced track for me to add vocals to. Fady's music was instantly inspiring and the song basically just wrote itself. And big ups to Bitzone for lending his ear and sonic artistry to mix and master this track into vivid color.

Lyrics:

Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

Always
Starting in last
Place
All days
Speedily passed
I race 
To catch up but I can’t keep pace
I chase 
A taste of what it’s like to get a head
Instead
Led off course by centrifugal force
Falling off the edge
Again it’s got me feeling 
Better off 
Dead
When reeling
From being made to 
Head
Back on track
From the invisible hand 
Never giving me slack
As the power ups stack
Bullet bills speed boosting up to the pack  
Yet still producing the deducing  
16th place I can’t crack 
 
Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

Never
Finishing in first 
Or third 
However 
Quickly I burst
Or swerved 
Past peels or fake item 
Box a hazards  
Still out maneuvered and 
Staggered 
Disoriented wheels don’t 
Matter 
When I 
Can’t get a
Grip
As the
Realization 
Of the final lap
Lets the cup 
Slip 
From hopes 
Final dash 
I crash 
Afraid to hit the gas
Hidden shortcuts and cheat codes 
Not given 
Even if I was to play the villain 
Driven 
There’s no opportunity to surpass 
When my previous finishing position 
Was coming in 
Last 

Time trials 
And I’m still miles 
Away Off course 
Of course I’m Falling off 
The track and This time 
I ain’t coming back 

13th place
Thought I was in the chase  
14th place
Slippin’ but thinking keepin’ pace 
15th place 
And still got one in the rear view mirror 
16th place 
Wasn’t a fall from grace is getting clearer

13th Place

Fady, Bitzone, and the Couch King - 13th Place

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

Music is a means of communication. I don't know if I have conveyed all the sensations that this photo has produced in me: pain, anger, sadness, anguish, and endless sensations full of desolation.

In these complicated days I remember all the good Ukrainian musicians whom I follow here, to whom I wish the best of luck, to their families and to their country.

Getting Somewhere

This is another oldie, I wrote this one about 15 years ago, and eventually recorded it about 5 years ago, on a 4 track at first, then I think I'd upgraded to the 8 track that I use now,  to polish it up a bit. This track still holds some charm for me, I have nice memories of the time that I wrote it, and also from when I recorded it, so I thought why not share it with SoundCloud. 

Appleby Fair

there's fun to be had at the country
they're polluting the thick city air
I met a girl who was gypsy by name
but green was the colour of her

her footsteps followed through the parlour
down by the fountain lay washing her hair
she whispered good luck
when I hooked her a duck
then blue was the colour of her

I asked her do you have a master
but she ran fast and scurried away
she yelled and looked cross
but I drew first and shot
then red was the colour of her

oh Gene would you come to my rescue
I'm loaded on junk and I'm scared
I did the hopscotch 
on a bridge we once crossed
so long to Appleby Fair

News spread round town like a wildfire
bitter bare knuckles raging with steam
I whipped a horse
the wind blew me off course

yellow was the colour
yellow was the colour
yellow was the colour of me

thanks for listening, much appreciated as always.





Appleby Fair

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

"Murmures dans le noir" (Whispers in the dark)

Un vœu de surdité
Dans l'obscurité
Les murs n'ont pas que des oreilles et
Leurs voix traversent mon oreiller
Les larmes se déversent
Ta voix ne me berce
Les jours d'averses
Seul ton souffle caresse
Ma nuque froide et tendue
Sensation inattendue.

Reviennent en pleine face
Des impressions qui s'effacent :
Ta séduisante allure
Ta luisante chevelure.
S’égrènent en surface
Des peines qui me glacent
Des plaies à vif suppurantes
Des peurs pétrifiantes.
Sont-ce des sons de l'intérieur
Ces sons pleurants ou rieurs ?

Tes murmures dans le noir :
Obscurs sons illusoires
Une brûlure sans bassinoire
Une torture du soir.
M'enlacent tes murmures
Dans le noir
Tes lèvres me susurrent
Tard le soir
De suaves "je t'aime"
Perforant les murs
De mon cœur couard.

Tes murmures dans le noir :
Obscurs sons illusoires
Une brûlure sans bassinoire
Une torture du soir.
M'agacent tes murmures
Dans le noir
Tes lèvres me susurrent
Tard le soir
De suaves "je t'aime"
Éventrant les murs
De mon cœur couard

Un vœu de surdité
Dans l'obscurité...

GIRASOL

El frío cubrió todo con una capa de hielo
y girasol es,
la noche aventaba todo su fulgor con la oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar ausente por un instante nada más, 
nada más.

El silencio atrapó todo con un manto de nácar necedad 
y girasol es,
la nada inundaba con blanca seda y negra oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar distante en el presente en ésta realidad, 
realidad.

SEMILLAS

Girasol

This is a simple one mic recording, just me and guitar. I've been wanting to put a recording out like this for a while now, just nothing felt right.

My amazing, autistic 9 year old son Harrison inspired this one. He's a great poet, so maybe one day he'll knock me off my perch. So it's me imagining I was him, and writing how I think I would feel, and thinking about my 9 year old self, how I did feel ( too long ago) He often needs to walk around stimming or just needs time alone to himself, just to process the day, the world, I suppose. I can really relate to that myself, and knowing how content I can be in my own company, I suppose I just think that's a cool thing. Autism is a real learning curve though, the spectrum is vast and complex, probably quite misunderstood too. But it's been quite therapeutic, now he's at an age where he can talk about it, and we can all talk and learn about it together as a family.

The Conundrum Kid 

So leave me on my own, it's where I wanna be

no I don't want no fuss, maybe I just want some peace

and I don't want no friend  come and walk me down the road

and I don't want no pity, I just want to be alone

I am the mystery boy

I am the Conundrum Kid

sometimes I need a plan, to get my mind from A to B

my feet they can be slow, but strong enough to carry me

and I don't want to talk, and I don't care how you are

and if you're always near, why do I seem so far

when everybody's loose, why do I feel so tight

and if I'm always wrong, then why do I feel so right

I am the mystery boy
I am the Conundrum Kid

so leave my on my own, it's where I wanna be


thanks for listening, reading and inspiring always greatly appreciated

The Conundrum Kid (Acoustic)

(Written by Terry Reeves)
Terry Reeves: Lead Vocals
Gary Reeves: Drums, Cajon
Hans Albers: All other instruments, Arrangement & Production

This was one of those songs that was inspired by something Hans wrote,  prompting an idea of the movement of water representing the melding of musical ideas.

Whilst we were working on “Release The Ashes”, he sent me a working arrangement in an email, signing off with the words "Love from The Elbe to The Thames”.  Friends and family often say things that spark song ideas and this poetic  greeting stuck in my mind.

I looked at a map that showed The Elbe flowing into The North Sea and The Thames into the Estuary a little to the south and imagined the two bodies of water flowing toward each other, intertwining back and forth, much as the song ideas between Hans, Gary and myself are inclined to do when we’re working on something.

So I have to thank Hans on two counts, both for bringing the idea to mind and also for the arrangement he created, which to me is very special.  Hope you do too.  Many thanks for listening.
(Terry Reeves)     

The river runs from Elbe toThames
Connection between distant friends 
North Sea growing back and forth
Mixture giving and taking at source 

A watery song with dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

Mersey mixture in history and song
Salt water blends and tries to belong
Move East to West, North To South
Trickle of ideas by word of mouth

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance 
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river to river to river to river...

Tidal transfer of words and music
Echoing sounds, a demo acoustic 
Treaty of Versailles to Parliament plaque 
Rules of agreement, musical track

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

The river runs from Thames to Elbe
Passing secrets, some to be held
Musical water with mixture to last
Ferry sails sea with historical past 

A watery song and dance 
Dispersing over distance
Ebb and flow with a chance
Avoiding tide resistance

River to river
River to river
River to river to river to river….

Our 4th Song for our upcoming debut album! Just following the stars!

Lyrics:

Where are we going?
Suitcase in hand
There ain't no destiny
No promised land
And it just breaks your heart
To leave it all behind

What is the way from here
Suitcase in hand
Just what you leave it all for
No one understands
And it just breaks your heart
Not knowing what you'll find

I rest my mind 
Just following the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

I rest my mind 
Just looking the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

I rest my mind 
Just trusting in the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

Where are we going
Suitcase in hand
We follow ancient tales of
The promised land

And there's just no choice
You gotta move along
