Live Reflexion#022 (extended)

A song that was particularly close to my heart to remix and especially to sing...So I tried to put my voice on this title that I love so much....And it is with immense joy that musical accomplice for almost 10 years....accompanied me on the piano.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Durch die Straßen grauer Zeit
Weht ein Echo lang verklungener Tage
Lang verklungener Tage
Und die Sehnsucht macht sich breit
Nach dem Lachen, das ich in mir trage
Das ich in mir trage

Jugendträume, leicht und klar
(Träume, leicht und klar)
Tanzen wie ein Sommervogelpaar
(wie ein Vogelpaar)
Schweben durch den Nebel meiner Jahre
(durch die Jahre)

Doch das Echo des Vergessens
Weht wie Herbstlaub durch die Zeit
(durch die Zeit)
Und die Spuren des Vermissens
Zeichnen Bilder der Vergänglichkeit
(der Vergänglichkeit)

In der Stille dieser Stadt
Treffen Welten aufeinander
(Welten aufeinander)
Was einst Kraft und Klarheit hat
Wird nun fremd und immer distanzierter
(immer distanzierter)

Zwischen Gestern und Heute
Tanzt ein Lichtstrahl durch die Nacht
(durch die Nacht)
Was die Zeit uns einst bedeutet
Wird durch jeden Schritt erwacht
(neu erwacht)

Und das Echo des Vergessens
Wird zur Brücke dieser Zeit
(dieser Zeit, dieser Zeit)
Aus den Schatten des Vermissens
Wächst ein neuer Weg zur Wirklichkeit
(zur Wirklichkeit)

In der Stille dieser Nacht
Find ich mehr als nur nach Haus
(mehr als nur nach Haus)
Was verloren schien, erwacht
Ich freue mich darauf
(freue mich darauf)

English translation:
Through the streets of gray time
An echo of long faded days blows
Long faded days
And the longing spreads
For the laughter that I carry within me
That I carry within me

Youthful dreams, light and clear
(Dreams, light and clear)
Dancing like a pair of summer birds
(like a pair of birds)
Floating through the mist of my years
(through the years)

But the echo of oblivion
Blowing through time like autumn leaves
(through time)
And the traces of missing
Draw pictures of transience
(of transience)

In the silence of this city
Worlds meet
(worlds meet)
What once had strength and clarity
Now becomes strange and more and more distant
(more and more distant)

Between yesterday and today
A ray of light dances through the night
(through the night)
What time once meant to us
Is awakened by every step
(reawakened)

And the echo of oblivion
Becomes the bridge of this time
(this time, this time)
From the shadows of missing
A new path to reality grows
(to reality)

In the silence of this night
I find more than just home
(more than just home)
What seemed lost awakens
I am looking forward to it
(looking forward to it)

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)

Now into my seventh decade of living, and celebrating my fiftieth anniversary this month as a guitar player (I should play better than do;), I wanted to drop this "little ditty" as my attempt to keep up with the likes of Bill Liggett (@soundcloud.com/greenfleamusic/tracks) and other notable players on this fine platform.  Actually it's an attempt to keep up with myself, seeing if I can still play what I learned 40-plus years ago, in the case of this song, the introductory licks I learned from a very fine Kansas City lounge musician, Mark Bell in 1979.  For those keeping score, you may remember it from the song "This Motel Room" by Jimmy Buffet--a fun and clever song that details the many nights touring musicians have to endure staying in motel rooms.  I took the initial licks heard throughout the song and built an independent melody line around it, half blues ditty, half musical joke, with a serious moment (you know I have to have one of those:), all with the hope of bringing a smile.  I'm proud to say I can still play it, and maybe, just maybe a little better now than then:)  Bill, just don't ask me to play it live;)

One Thing

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

this one pretty much wrote itself when i found myself staring at a blank sheet of paper for ages,
tapping my pen annoyingly and waiting for something to happen........a live take with a bit of piano........cheers for having a listen......



           PEN TO PAPER 
 
my pen can write a letter of love
describe to you the stars above
congratulate you on your gain
comfort you when your in pain

console you in your time of need
tell you that you're loved indeed
but if i told you how i feel today
my pen would be cruel

my pen can sign my life away
to own a house i'll never pay
then write it in a thank you note
for the monstrous debt that i now owe

my pen has got me in trouble deep
sometimes so much i cannot sleep
if i were to write about myself
my pen would be cruel

i don't pretend to understand
what's going on upstairs
i just try to keep it to myself
sometimes it's better, to hide it all away
i know to you that that don't make much sense

my pen can tell you how and why
my love for you could never die
write the words with even flow
so you would never have to know

my pen is guarded at the gate
it hides my secrets can't escape
and if they did then you would know
my pen can be so cruel

misanthropy, philanthropy, 
evilness and empathy    
my pen belongs in their mirrored halls
it's inky eye looks through them all

there's nothing it can't see right through
the things you thought that no one knew
now written there right in front of you
the pen can be so cruel

my pen can talk what i can't speak
and go where i don't want to be
from a prison cell to a sunburst sky
turn the truth against a lie

write a wrong into a right
turn a long day into night
the burden can be so heavy
when the pen can be so cruel

Pen To Paper

Remembering Jill.

“The Highland Spirit” is a cinematic Celtic folk-rock instrumental that captures the majesty and mystery of the northern coast. With 22 richly layered instrumental parts, it builds a story of nature, emotion, and timeless tradition. In the heart of the track, a young girl stands alone by the sea at dusk, waiting for the moon to rise. As the silver light spreads across the water, she sees herself reflected—full of dreams and wonder. This moment is brought to life through poetic lyrics nestled in a sweeping musical journey. Echoes of bagpipes, fiddles, acoustic guitars, and stormy drums guide the listener through misty hills, stormy crescendos, and serene reflection. A tribute to hope, memory, and the eternal beauty of the sea and sky.

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

Hello, I'm Edeltraud Trncik, a songwriter who's been weaving melodies and lyrics for a long time. Music has been my faithful companion throughout this journey, inspiring me to create a diverse collection of songs that reflect my personal experiences and the world around me.

My passion lies in crafting heartfelt ballads. I pour my emotions and stories into each composition, striving to create authentic connections through my music. However, I always make sure to leave room for intuition and personal expression in my songwriting process.

I've been making music as a hobby alongside my husband. This partnership has been a source of joy and creativity, allowing us to grow together both personally and artistically. The synergy we've developed over the years shines through in every song we create.
Until now, I've primarily written songs for my own enjoyment and expression.
My songwriting draws inspiration from my own life experiences and current events that touch me. I believe that music has the power to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. 
Through my songs, I invite listeners to see the world through my eyes - a world filled with melodies that speak to the heart and soul
