Description: 'Awakening From Winter' A mixed genre track really that I've called 'Alternative Fusion' Leaving the sleepinees of Winter and awakening to the brightness and rebirth of Spring.

Wow! Alan, this playing is off the charts. I think you aced this one!

Hey Alan this sublime piece is rendered superbly by your various instrumental performances. Perfect production, too. Love when the groove kicks in and your vibrant keys playing. Way to go here, my friend!

just gorgeous! Love those bass runs, the insane organ performance, and I've been trying to use cello more in some of my more recent tunes and this intro really inspired me.  what a tour de force this piece is.

Such a dynamic change of mood; from symphony hall to a night club and a smokin' B3. The bass line is a wondrous thing in itself.  Haha, that last section could have come Nashville:)

@user-936947521: Thanks a million for this terrific feedback and encouragement Frans.....

a really great song, Alan..... love you keyboard playing

--English translation after the French text--
Écoute le vent qui emporte le bruit du port et des bateaux
Il murmure des secrets des histoires et des mots nouveaux
Ombres du passé, un  rêve d’avenir, le cœur qui balance peur (et) désir  
La mer agitée, l’écume grise, comme  destin à saisir
 
Les vagues  emporteront  les larmes, les larmes passées
Restent à quai  toutes celles qu’on n’ a pas encore versées
Écoute le vent qui rapporte au loin le cri des cormorans
Plainte stridente dans le silence  des flots mourants de l'océan 

Marins éternels, maudits par la vie, nous traînons nos  chaînes, asservis
Prisonniers d'un cycle sans fin, âmes errantes cherchent sa vie  
Écoute le vent il nous dit qu’il faudra partir	 
Que not’ temps est compté, naufragés  de nos désirs	 

Machine translation:
Listen to the wind that carries the noise of the port and the boats
It whispers secrets, stories and new words
Shadows of the past, a dream of the future, the heart that swings fear (and) desire
The rough sea, the gray foam, like a destiny to seize

The waves will carry away the tears, the past tears
All those that have not yet been shed remain at the quay
Listen to the wind that brings back the cry of the cormorants from afar
Shrill complaint in the silence of the dying waves of the ocean

Eternal sailors, cursed by life, we drag our chains, enslaved
Prisoners of an endless cycle, wandering souls seek their life
Listen to the wind it tells us that we will have to leave
That our time is numbered, shipwrecked of our desires






   



 





Ecoute le vent

Let's take a look in here, inside my head
Spider webs and dust blowing everywhere
Oh, wait! Something there moved, an original thought?
Or rats scrounging for a crumb of food

Jets passing overhead, cut across the blue sky
Then scream away

Poets dream of being read to sounds of music
Clowns dance alone in the privacy of home
Yellow tape cut down, some people gather around
Webs and dust blow on their bones

And then, what do you know, I remembered something important
Then it slipped away

Cut The Blue Sky

Gray Morning

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, vocals, lyrics, and seed idea
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet and VST sax     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song started its life as one of a batch of bass lines Josh came up with around the New Year holiday. He recorded it to a rudimentary drum loop, which Ken replaced perfectly with his own beat. Stephen was up after Ken, adding his tasteful, foundational guitar you hear underlying the entire song. Not to miss out on the guitaring, Tez came up with the ethereal guitar fills that float around in there. Mark came after Tez with his textural wah clavinet, also adding the wonderful sax solo you hear in the middle. After it was done musically, Josh went back and wrote some lyrics and sang them, too.
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to do the honors of mixing it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is a fine example of the Eclectic Collective coming together to create a heartfelt song, based on a bass line seed.  We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Sometimes I think about 
Things we used to talk about
Now I have to go without
Ever looking at your face x2
 
But I want you near me
Wish that you could hear me

What if we could ever reach
Out to the other each
But what would we say?
Is it just another routine day? x2
  
It makes my heart hurt bad
When I think of what I had
Now you’ve slipped away
Seems I saw you just the other day
 
Life can be really cruel
And I can be a fool
But I wish there were a way
I could hear what you would say

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;)

Lyrics : 
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

You got jump-scared so bad in your waking hours
You thought you were seeing stars
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you

Gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it
Gonna hear it, hear it
Only when you’re not listening

Gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it
Gonna see it, see it
Only when you’re not looking

It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing your intuition in the corner
It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing our intuition in the corner

The clue stuck to the bottom of a shoe
The mud trail she tracked through the living room
Told you what you already knew

The truth
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

THE TRUTH. 🎧. Feat  Ashes and Dreams

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
