FOUR TO THREE - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS by Mountain Songs published on 2022-09-17T18:21:15Z (Written by Terry Reeves) Terry Reeves: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar Hans Albers: All other instruments, Arrangement & Production 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. (Terry Reeves) 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 Genre The Missing One Comment by Durge A touching meeting of words and music to convey this moving, emotional experience. As you say, so many of us share the complexities and pain you’ve captured so well here. I have to ask why the vinyl record sound. is this really taken from a record or is that an artistic touch? 2024-04-22T14:32:48Z Comment by Phil McWalter A very difficult time for you all and amazing that you managed to produce a song that sings for everyone that experiences, hears and feels your loss, and due to your skills we do... we do. 2023-11-28T19:29:18Z Comment by The Gobi Desert Canoe Club A very emotional time for you, great song. 2023-11-28T19:22:03Z Comment by Delirata 1983 Beautiful song ! 2023-06-12T17:55:51Z Comment by I D Heartbreaking 2023-06-08T17:41:21Z Comment by Seb Mankoo So well written (introduction and lyrics), so intensely sung and such a fitting arrangement with the piano.

Love the melody and vocals/lyrics🙏🏻 2022-12-01T20:21:32Z Comment by Skai Eriksson I love the chord progression and arpeggios. I especially like the minor four chord thrown in and the spaced out arpeggio on the dominant chord. Really beautiful and heart-rending lyrics (my wife and I were fortunate not to have gone through the experience, but we've had family members endure it). 2022-12-01T18:41:33Z Comment by K2 and the Four Wow!! Fantastic!! Beautiful lyrics as well!! 2022-11-30T00:53:53Z Comment by 𝚅𝙰𝚁𝚃𝙲𝙷 🐟 ☮️ Mint 2022-11-27T00:28:53Z Comment by Spicy Invalid no one is promised an easy ride on planet earth. i believe everything happens for a reason, and life is not an accident. there is a reason why you are sad, it stems from a desire to manifest meaning in a world seemingly devoid of any meaning. God bless all of you. Praying and rooting for you Reeves brothers and sisters,. Shalom, shalom form Hollywood, Fl 2022-11-23T18:01:42Z
