From the age of 15 when I first stepped into the world of employment I was told it would be a major advantage to get a job that lasted through to the State retirement age of 65. At the time I'll admit it was not something I took at all seriously.  When you’re that age, the last thing on your mind is bloody retirement.   

However, by the time I reached my early 50’s and had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my mind became a little more concentrated on reaching what might now  conceivably prove to be an eminently missable target.  In the interim, the UK government decided that, given the population was living considerably longer than it once had, they would incrementally be raising the retirement age, meaning that mine now became 66. 

Our dear old Nan was a dedicated Bingo player and knew that number callers used particular phrases for certain numbers, one of the best known being 66, known as  ‘Clickety Click’.  So reaching pensionable age became inextricably linked to Bingo, hence the title and subject matter of this song.   

The number one - ‘Kelly’s Eye’ - seemed a good place to start and having done some fascinating research, I worked my way through the Bingo calls, choosing the ones whose scansion worked best, until I reached the magic ‘Clickety Click'.  

As the chorus explains, there were no guarantees I’d actually get there, it was just a target.  But I did get there and this song celebrates the fact.  

The song ends with the traditional exclamation of the player who has won the game, being either ‘House!’ or ‘Bingo!’.  When I was recording the vocals, my constant and beautiful companion Marvin (it is he who is pictured in the cover art) reacted to my shouts with a loud bark, perfectly in time, so we decided to keep it in.  Marv is with me at 99% of the recordings and enjoys being involved when the opportunity presents.

As always, huge thanks to the wonderful Hans Albers for another brilliant backing track which is, as I think you’ll agree, perfect for the song.  That man is a genius.
Thanks so much for listening.   (Terry Reeves)


It all started with Ned Kelly’s eye (1)
A cup of tea (3) to stop going dry
Tom Mix (6) wearing hat, riding fast
Monkey’s cousin (12) hanging, trying to last
Key of the door (21), two little ducks (22)
Paid half a crown (26), keep up the luck
In a state (28), rise and shine (29) but alive
One dirty knee (33) to help jump and jive (35)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six, a target to achieve

Half way to laugh, more than eleven (37)
As life begins (40), time for fun (41) isn’t heaven
Up to tricks (46) towards four dozen (48)
Five-0, Five-0, it’s off to work (50) with percussion
Danny la Rue (52), a man at the door (54)
The snakes are alive (55) but don’t wriggle more
Shotts bus (56) to Scotland, check the sign
Variety of Heinz (57) to the Brighton Line (59)

Sixty six not to preconceive
Sixty six a target to achieve

A baker’s bun (61) all tickety boo (62)
Tickle me (63), almost retired (64) laughing too
Retirement age(65), it should have been fun
Clickety click (66), getting paid
Take the money and run  
Route 66, nearly there
Clickety click, the sound of my wheelchair

Piece Of Soul

Eight notes I played
For morning light birds
I tricked in the windowsill
To inspire me with their sing

A page torn from my notebook
To see how far it stood
With a sonnet written on it
That I threw to the wind

(But) you don´t want (to) listen the notes
(But) you don´t want (to) walk with my boots
(You) only want a piece of (my) soul
And roll down a little drop

The essence of a flower
In a bottle kept
Gives (me) back the mountain smell 
When I close my eyes

(But) you don´t want (to) listen the notes
(But) you don´t want (to) walk with my boots
(You) only want a piece of (my) soul
And the bird sang a sad song

Listen to the bird sending a piece of his soul
Listen to the bird flying now on his own
Listen to the notes and the poems I wrote
Listen to this song that never leaves me alone

Piece of soul (with The Bird Inside)

Nose in the showcase 
clouding the fate 
 Counting the days,  
it was a long wait  
Sand in the shoes
 There was … no pain.

 Kicking the stones  
To not return home  
Waiting the train  
Just To smash the coin  
Bleeding knees  
All was … a glee

 Those were the days,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice 
 Playing Risk 
 Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams
 Like a gleam

 Pride in the pinball 
Watch for the thug 
 Moove the machine  
Control the tilt 
 Look for the way  
The green light… is on  

 Those were the days ,  
Those were the nights

 Roll the dice  
Playing Risk  
Who’s turn is it.
So purify 
 Wonder dreams  
Like a gleam 

 For all was the first time.
 First kiss, first broken heart  
The future didn’t exist 
But time run, run fast.

Lyrics: 
My old notebook,my youth poems  Thinking no one was the same
 forgotten moldy in a chest
Never found lips to decline

My old canvases full of greys  No one else was able to paint
 Moldy forgotten unfortunate
 Never found eyes to contemplate

Suddenly  No more grey (just Pink)
I claim  It was A sunny day (summer day) You came
 That day (What a day)
 I saw  in your eyes
my legacy  was you. 

(My) life has never been the same since the day you came
only see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

 My footsteps in the sand,  a land that no one could step on 
erased by the ocean tide,
 no one could ever follow them

Suddenly No more grey (just Pink) I claim  It was A sunny day (summer day) You came  That day (What a day)
I saw  in your eyes
my legacy  was you.

(My) life has never been the same since the day you came
only see the sun shining through the rain since the day you came

Just look into the sand when the sea retires
where a path is laid indelible Like a guide 
A path for your steps to follow
If one fine day you decide to do so.

HOW HARD WAS THE FALL 

You put 
You put me on a pedestal
How hard
How hard 
How hard was the fall 

You saw me when 
I had the view 
lost in the 
infinite 
And when you tried 
Tried to take me 
take me back 
was a feat 
Infinite, couldn’t hear, 
I kept lost on the stars. 

Trying to get back 
what I never had 
lost my self 
desert land 
I try to cling 
Cling to your voice
But the wind 
dissolved it
But the wind
Dissolved it into a 
thousand notes. 

Look at that bird 
Flying away 
With fast flap 
flapping wings
You should watch twice 
Twice and hard 
To believe
It was me
It was me, must watch hard
Flapping wings
Flying away. 

ENDING
Never look in to the dreamer’s eye
Never look , but, but you do.

How hard was the fall (with The Bird Inside and Neno J)

Cast of Characters:
 
Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – foundational acoustic guitar and seed idea
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, lyrics, and vocals
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums and percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective — composition and mix

  This is the second song in a row that The Eclectic Collective is releasing in as many weeks that was written by Chris. We love working on his songs, and all jumped at the chance to play with this one, as well. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar, onto which he also put some heavy reverb, giving it an ethereal, chordal sound. To that bare bones, Josh fist added his four-string fretless bass to a click track, of all things. Luckily, Ken swooped in soon after and gave it a proper beat with his lively percussion performance. 
  Once the rhythm section was complete, Tez added his melodic, golden-tone guiar in there. Then, it was JJ's turn. He added not only the piano and synth, but wrote the lyrics and sang it, as well. 
  This song was actually mixed by the group, as we all added our parts, although Ken did some final adjustments, too.
  JJ's lyrics tell the story of the first people to reach Easter Island, millenia ago. The wonder of the journey and the discovery of a new home, while using the materials available to survive. Here are his original lyrics.

Original Lyrics by J.J. Terrell:
 
Through the eyes of the gentle rain
Monuments raised where the Lapwings stay
All the sand, the hourglass of man sifts here
A traveling band of gypsies in this land appear
Crowd the fire as the night sets in
Listen for tales of enlightenment
Until dawn
The flowered down of a bird so true
Pure as heaven, the chosen few
It's all waiting for the night

Unabashed (Eclectic Collective)

Jar Of Jarre 15

This is my entry for Round 2 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of rhythmic contrast between long and short note values.

LYRICS

The headline in the news today
Says they plan to find a way
To make a dog’s life last a little longer
And Bryan Johnson has a dream
A hundred pills and LEDs
To help his body age a little slower
 
But take it from someone who’s done
The thing you seek to do
The practice is not new

There’s no glory in longevity
There’s no glory in longevity

My name is John, the great magician
Alchemist and mathematician
Spoke to angels in obsidian mirrors
I could plot the stars to glean
The tangled fates of English queens
Cracked the code and learnt to live forever

And though our methods change
The craft remains the same
As I can explain

There’s no magic in longevity
There’s no magic in longevity

Imagine watching everything you love cease to be
While you count the hours in eternity

There’s no comfort in longevity
There’s no comfort in longevity

There is no difference between you and I
Only the knowledge that time can provide

Longevity

worry

Dance it's funny

de nouveau une superbe collaboration avec Damga et la voix magnifique de Gigi.

La Camionneuse

I woke from sleep in a cold hard sweat
She was standing by my bed
You know where I am if you need me,she said
Her touch was as cold as the dead

A scream arose in my throat
Yet was stifled and undeclared
Do I dream or wake as I sit on the bed?
Am I ready or unprepared?

The telephone rang,time to arise
Appointments need to be kept
Eight hours in bed and my body still said
It feels like I haven't slept


When I cut you down from the dance of life
You felt chilled right through
I knew from that moment on
You had killed me too

She said,all you see
Is not what you see
You must leave it all behind
The cloak and the veil of everyday life
Is only in your mind
