I think it’s important to say that a lot more women than you think have had one or multiple miscarriages. It’s just that it is a subject not often talked about because of the very personal pain that the couple go through. The unborn life has no contact with anybody else except the mother and the emotions are often only remembered by the mother and father.
When Jo and I were expecting our second child we were very excited and looking forward to having another Reeves in our growing family. I will never forget the day that we were told we were going to lose the baby and once told, left sitting in an open A & E waiting area having to cope with all our raw emotions and the prospect of the impending loss amongst the rest of the other patients.
Jo had to go through a painful operation to terminate the pregnancy and it is a day she will never forget. We were a family of three planning being a family of four having now to plan being a family of three recovering from an invisible loss and explain it to our young son.
It was an extremely difficult time but we were fortunate that after a few years we did have two more children. Jo tells me that although it is difficult to explain the connection she had with the unborn child that the presence of life inside her will never be forgotten.
I felt I couldn’t let this moment in our lives pass by without acknowledging our unborn child in some way. The rollercoaster of emotions we shared at that time from euphoria at increasing our family to devastation and bereavement at our loss were felt intensely only by Jo and myself played it’s part in forging the strong bond we have had throughout our relationship.

Two giving chance for more to love
Sharing excitement of a life that grew
Future moments by imagination
Holding tightly to a dream, not knowing who

The moment will always be there

No blessing from a hand of friendship 
Could change the feeling of love untried
A desperation of disappearing contact
Sixteen weeks of wonder with a life inside

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Will always be there x3

It’s hard to share the tears of life unborn
Expectations waiting, true feelings strong
Growing three to four into a family together 
Not knowing where to be or why we belong

The moment will always be there
Will always be there x2

Many questions asked reasons who or why
Emotional growth but no name it’s true
An everlasting memory impossible to share
Changing 4 back to 3 kept just between two

The moment will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there
Will always be there

NIGHT FLOWER

Hermosa

Emergency Exit

Eternal Love

This is the love march
Come on get in line
To all the beat-down disheartened 
It's you I got in mind
What's that they say
Someday the mighty gonna fall
And the last ones among us
Be the first ones after all

This is the love march
Cuz we got love in our hearts
Everything else fades away
Everything else falls apart
Got a drum beating a rhythm
A poet with a rhyme
Come on step it up now
Take it double time

Oh, oh, how did we get so low
Lord up in heaven
Lord up above
Would you give us the strength
To bury the bastards with love

This is the love march
Armed with love and understanding
We're many million strong
Every day we been expanding
When there's nothing left to fight with
And nothing left to say
We stand up on our feet
We go marching anyway

This is the love march
Just take a look around
Heads help up high
Feet on the ground
Saying no to the bullies the villains and thieves
I know a bit about love
And they ain't love to me

Oh, oh, how did we get so low
Lord up in heaven
Lord above
Would you give us the strength
To bury the bastards with love

Though I'm so tired
I keep going
We keep going

Selma, Alabama
Washington DC
Delano, Ohio and everywhere in between
They can't hold back the tide
Try as they may
Eventually it's gonna be
Love that wins the day

This is the love march
Cuz we got love in our hearts
Everything else fades away
Everything else falls apart
Got a drum beating a rhythm 
A poet with a rhyme
Come on step it up now...

This is the love march
When there's nothing left to fight with
We still got love, love, love
All you need is love, love, love
This is the love march...

(Hey there, in case you don't know, Paul Butterfield Blues Band had a wonderful song called Love March...perfect for the times)

Love March

dedicated to my sister Cindy (more to com)

During Sophie's last piano lesson I asked her to improvise a track on this piece. ( the mid range strings)  Then she started to improvise more.  I picked a key and told her to keep playing.  She did. She played beautiful music and she realized that she no longer needed music to play.  The light bulb turned on and she smiled.  People who only memorize music will forget it if they don't keep playing it.  When you can improvise in any key, you never forget that. You will always be able to play any time you sit at a piano and have no fear that you won't remember what you knew. it's important to know how to read music and the theory that goes with it,  but if that is all you can do, find a teacher who can teach you improv.  I'm very proud of her.  She has talent. 

Learning Forgiveness - Collab with Sophie

File Update #9: Made outro voicings way more operatic and they now align with the power of guitar bass and drum to end

File Update #8: First lead guitar feeler run

File Update #7: Drums expanded to help lead the gallop late on. Rolling toms thoughout pitch shifted down -1 and -2 octaves one track each. The gallop is achieved by playing 8th notes with a dotted delay giving that off beat in the delay. You can tend to go from following the dotted rhythm to back straight to straight 8th's giving beats with delay like this even more movement across the phrase from that shift in expression

File Update #6: Adjusted drums to reflect guitar power better. Added Peruvian pan flutes mirroring vocal in some lead parts. Added cellos & basses to unison the guitar power chords. Playing with reverse effected Blackbird vocal at the end also. What I may do is make this rev effected BB vox properly on the whole phrase and then TBD sing it forwards over that and should sound cool… then do the same again . reverse my TBD forward vocal and should have a very weird and wonderful double forward double reverse unison to finish. Schweeeeeeeeeeet

File Update #5: Two electric guitars added. Each with slow arpeggio to start with one evolving to rhythm and the other to lead/rhythm. Again possibly too dominant will be fixed in a mix

File Update #4: Little Alexa chat at the end more prominent

File Update #3: More TBD voice trying to get closer to Blackbird. I'll fix any busy~ness that has cropped up with some mix TLC when I think we're done.  Put in a crow sound at the end because I'm a furking stoner and asked alexa (I call mine Computer because I feel like Picard 👴🏽😆) to make a Blackbird sound haha

File Update #2: TBD voicings more prominent and Blackbird stereo tracked and spread. Tom prominence increased. Real Bass in throughout.

File Update #1: Extended with double time dance mode (164bpm) and normal time outro (82bpm)

Big thanks also to artist Box Number 10 for giving me the idea to tackle this. You can listen to their wonderful rendition above.

For this rendition I aligned the Acapella with an 82 BPM project and built from there. The way the original vocal is built lends itself very well for this as there are nice spaces to chop it up with minimal detriment. I think 82 (maybe 81) the best tempo to work with if you wan to try this for Blackbird and let your imagination run wild with it. It's incredible vocal practice and I think the enthusiasm is there for more versions.
My cat Yoda pays us a visit too throughout...



A thank you poem...

When Maria Carey retired, Falsetto lovers pined...

Then along came a Blackbird with voice sublime

So the beautiful dark muted in word

Picked up the guitar with tremolo absurb

Some simple piano

Some hums and some he's

This magpie minds your eggs

Now I'm free

Thanks dear artist I hope I did fine

Your voice truly is sublime



Listening to this just fed me a wonderful memory. In 3rd year Music class in school Mr Kelly asked the whole class, "What is the most beautiful instrument of them all?"
We took turns guessing... Guitar, Violin, Piano....
Mr Kelly's answer, "The human voice"
I whole heartedly agree Sir 🫡

Song without words (by Blackbird)

A chuga- chuga good time blues song (ZZ Top meets Chuck Berry) about not indulging in vices. Also, race car driving.

Lyrics:
Hey friends, you know I need to give up drinking
It's tearing up my guts
But still, I'm over eating
It leaves me so perplexed
I've got to give up that 
Marijuana
It makes me malleable
Lackadaisical
Like a slow-motion hex
I've got to give up this pornography
Because it's fucking up my sex

(chorus) Oh, you've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more(2X)

Take that race car around the bend
Put the hammer down
This could be the end?
Or maybe it could be good fortune shining on your door!

I've got to stop spending so much time on the internet
It makes my attention small
I never, ever finish what I start
I've got to give up these perfumed flavored vapes
The smell reminds me
Of the woman who were 
'In love' 
With me
But now they are
'In hate'
I've got to give up the women with dark circles under their eyes
The nighttime lies
That I take
And I paint
In my darkest arts

I've got an extremely high tolerance for risk
It's more than I can take
(yeah)
Tell my friends and family
To book me a heavy metal band
For my wake
I'm gonna say to everybody
Hey, do you see that coming?
That's my Mojo rising
On the horizon
Stop criticizing
I'm just waiting for my big break
(chorus)

Take that race car around the bend
Drop the hammer down
It could be the end?
With self control
You could get the win!
You've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more...

More! (or) How I learned To Get Ahead
