It's hard to keep your head up
when it seems love's sun doesn't want to shine
on this heart of mine
I was  drawing red lines and wasting time 
was there something I missed ?
I'm breaking pencils
crossing another name off my list

Too much this- not enough of that 
mis-matched like two lost socks
feels like I 'm sitting in an idiot box
completely incomplete  
where are  there directions
to get off lonely street ?

Chance encounter
at my neighborhood coffee shop 
You spilled your coffee on my sleeve
I lied and said it wasn't hot 
You smiled and said
beautiful you, beautiful lie
Would you like to have dinner tonight ?

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful beautiful  dream
that's come true 
I never thought I could feel this way 
that being imperfect is  perfectly ok 
Until you

Sometimes what you're looking for
is just around the corner 
and you find your precious gem
that maybe someone else looked over
hold on to your dreams 
because you deserve them 
To my own self be true
But I never knew this 
Until you

Chorus

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful beautiful  dream
that's come true

Until you...
your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
with your heart wide open 
truth openly spoken
my beautiful, beautiful  dream
that's come true 
Until you

your love created  colors I 'd never seen 
My beautiful, beautiful dream
that's come true
because of you

Until You

We wanted to create something for the VE Day anniversary so back in January Lana performed this one, our own version of we’ll meet again

we’ll meet again

Don’t Stop Believin’ is an inspiring pop/rock anthem about holding on to hope and chasing dreams. It tells the story of everyday people searching for meaning and connection. With its powerful chorus and uplifting message, the song encourages perseverance, reminding listeners to stay strong and never give up on themselves.

Don’t Stop Believing

Take me now

What is your enduring dream? That treasured goal that requires a deep well of resilience and the courage to try something over and over again? The path to reaching an enduring dream is generally not straightforward; instead, it meanders, taking us to unknown and unexpected places while providing countless "life lessons" as we navigate a long, winding road. It's comforting to know that every stumble and each "recalibration" along the way brings us closer to our dreams, strengthening our resolve and making the eventual success more meaningful.

“An Enduring Dream” contains two recurring themes: the first represents the process of pursuing a dream repeatedly, while the second symbolizes the “recalibration” and courage to keep moving forward. The music concludes with a sense of continued movement, further along the path and closer to the dream.

An Enduring Dream

🤍🎶Cette chanson que j’ai écrite à partir du livre « Mon zèbre s’est tué » écrit par Hélène Decherf-Défossez, un texte clamé à plusieurs voix lors d’un salon littéraire, qui ne pouvait pas rester dans un tiroir.✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮ J’ai voulu lui donné une autre dimension en composant une musique à partir de la voix de Nina pour renforcer le dialogue entre une mère et un fils.⋆｡°✩ Le dernier tableau est la vie qui s'en va...
🤍🎶This song was inspired by the book "Mon zèbre s’est tué" by Hélène Decherf-Défossez. Originally performed as a spoken word piece by multiple voices at a literary event, it was a text that couldn’t stay in a drawer.✩°｡ ⋆⸜ 🎧✮ I wanted to give it a new dimension by composing music around Nina’s voice, to deepen the dialogue between a mother and her son. ⋆｡°✩The last scene is life fading out…

Texte : 
[Verse 1]
J’aurais aimé te le dire encore,
Te prendre un instant dans mes bras,
Te voir viser un nouveau record,
Et rire un peu, comme autrefois.
Tu partais léger, globe-trotteur,
Les capitales au bout des doigts,
Chaque instant vécu à toute heure,
Ivresse de vivre, pleine de joie.
[Verse 2]
Pendant ce temps, je tenais mon rôle,
À éveiller, former, tendre la main.
C’est dur parfois, quand la foule s’affole,
De rester humain, de garder le lien.
Tant se perdent dans des malentendus,
Des mots trop lourds ou mal lancés.
Moi non plus, je n’en suis pas exclue,
Combien d’amitiés sont effacées…
[Chorus 1]
La vie parfois ne tient qu’à un fil,
Par confiance ou bien par insouciance,
On prend la route, désir subtile,
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Verse 3]
Je m’évade souvent quand je pense à toi,
À tes silences, à ton monde sans nouvelles.
J’invente des routes, des éclats de joie,
Des souvenirs posés comme des aquarelles.
Parfois j’espère, un peu candide,
Que tu penses à moi, quelque part.
Dans un miroir, un soir limpide,
L’écho discret de ce qu’on partage. 
[Verse 4]
J’ai compris que tu es à Lisbonne ! 
J’aurais parié sur Barcelone.
J’te jure, mon cœur s’est un peu serré,
Trop de silence, trop de temps passés…
Tu m’as dit rendez vous, samedi 
Tu passes avant voir ta chérie.
T’as juste une chose à faire, une dinguerie,
Et pour tes vingt ans, ce sera la folie ! 
[Chorus 2]
At times, life hangs on just one thread,
In trust too deep, or light mischance,
We walk a path where dreams have bled,
Then slip away, lost in the dance. 
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Outro]
La vie est un risque, c’est aussi ce qui la rend belle,
Chaque instant partagé cache une fragilité.
On cherche à briller, à faire des étincelles,
Portés par le vent, parfois sur le fil.
On avance, guidés par nos propres éclats,
À vouloir tout vivre, tout comprendre ici-bas.
Et c’est peut-être là, tout à la limite du vertige,
Qu’on se demande soudain : qu’est-ce qui nous dirige ?
[Chorus 1]
La vie parfois ne tient qu’à un fil,
Par confiance ou bien par insouciance,
On prend la route, désir subtile,
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse. 
[Chorus 2]
At times, life hangs on just one thread,
In trust too deep, or light mischance,
We walk a path where dreams have bled,
Then slip away, lost in the dance. 
Et sans le voir, on quitte la danse.

Mon Zèbre

Always dad
Never daddy
Always dad
Somber and cold
Angry and gruff

Your words
Tore my skin
And shaped me
Into me…

I try to remember what you were like
When I was little
When we ate dinner together 
As a family..(as a family)
In pain
You spoke little
Sometimes commenting on the food
Which was usually bland 
As Mom hated to cook
But I don’t think you cared
As you frequently went dining out when you were away
From us. From her. From us
Life was free away
Away from us…
Free away from us…

Mostly I remember you
As sick in bed
From exhaustion 
As an escape
As a way to stay away from us
a young father who avoided his own seed
His own seed
Once you had to leave, you recovered
Packed your bag and left again

Always sick
Always mad
Short temper fuse
Feared your wrath
Feared your voice
But your ridicule (your ridicule)
Tore my skin
And shaped me
Into me…
A sad me…

Always dad
Never daddy
Always dad
Somber and cold
Angry and gruff
No hugs
Few smiles

Trying to remember you
When I was young
When I was little
I don’t see you in my far away 
Now that you  are gone
My memories are of my search
To please you through men Like you
Men like you..
Ones who spoke to me through pain
Through ridicule

Always dad
Never daddy
Always dad
Somber and cold
Angry and gruff

Tore my skin
And shaped me
Into me…
Into me…
Into me…
Me…

always dad never daddy

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – acoustic guitar, composition, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four string fretless bass
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano and lead synth

This is one of the earlier, more stripped down version of this song that’s found on my other colleauges’ Soundcloud pages\.
This song started as many of our best do, with Chris coming up with it on his acoustic guitar. He shared it with the rest of us shortly after, and we were all very excited to tuck into it.

Ken was fist at the trough for this one, adding his jazzy, expressive drums. Josh came in as soon as he had a beat to work with, adding his signature fretless bass to the mix. Not long after that, JJ broke out the hauntingly melodic piano and Shine On You Crazy Diamond timbred synth you hear throughout.

This song is an example of Eclectic Collective coming together to bring another one of Chris' brilliant songs to life. You should check out his new albums on Spotify, which you can find by clicking the link next to his name in the credits.
