Life, drives you to the ground
Kicks you when you’re down
Wants to wear your crown

Love, comes as no surprise
Right before your eyes
With truth instead of lies

Stop explaining
Days are waning
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly

We have travelled through this life 
Through the tears and strife
To the other side

Dreams, elude us when we sleep
And rivers run so deep
The secrets they will keep

Lives are taken
Plans, forsaken
Then you realize
That it’s your time to fly..

It may be we’ll never understand
Building castles in the sea and sand…

Love, comes as a surprise
Right between the eyes

For the Love of Life

Cast of characters: 

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass and lap steel
This song began by Steve writing it on his acoustic guitar, singing it, and passing the recording on to Josh to share with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Tez was first to add his complimentary guitar in his typical expert fashion. Ken then added his very tasteful drums. Soon after. Josh worked his bass part until it was dialed in. After the Rhythm section was solid, JJ came along and sprinkled his organ magic throughout. Then, for good measure, Josh added some lap steel, too.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for the job on this one. Steve is a fantastic singer and songwriter. We all feel very lucky that he so generously shares his talent and work with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
Love is all aqround
Your love is coming down x2
your love is all around x2
just look what I have found x2
love will touch the ground x2
And I'm just waiting for you
just waiting on your train
to pass my house again x2
I know that I come around again x2
I know that I can find you x2
so let me in your heart x4
You know that I can find you
you know that I will
You know that I can give
I can give you anything
You know that I can find you x4

Indivisible by two  (Lyrics)

Once again,
I want to tell you,
that the main,
it's that i love you,
you and me,
for the life,
a single mind,
you and me,
always together,

indivisible by two,
indivisible by two,
you and me,
always together,

I would like to give you back, everything you give me,

indivisible by two,
indivisible by two,
you and me,
always together,

Indivisible by two

Indivisible by Two

Hello everyone,  
my mother recently told me again how she met my father. They fell in love while dancing. 
At night, after they came back from dancing, my father would always walk my mother home. They would waltz the entire way through the streets and alleys. When my mother talks about it, her face lights up. My father passed away two years ago. The memory remains with her, though it will never fade.  
In a few weeks, my nephew is getting married. 
I will waltz with my mother at the wedding reception.

A last waltz

The Greatest

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

We knew in part at one time,
now the partial is done away
One time I saw in a mirror, dimly,
now we are face to face

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong,
fit for none

If I knew every truth
and have the faith to move mountains,
without love,
in the end,
it all amounts to nothing

[chorus]

If I give away all I possess,
and have the courage to face death,
If I don’t have love
in my understanding,
all the profits 
amount to nothing

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

Original Song by Bill Liggett   Rick Ledgerwood ( Bass ) Larry Sell ( Harmonica ) Bill Liggett ( Guitar and vocals )
Please believe me, not because you should, only just because its true
I shot all the bad guys from a thousand miles away
But that was when my aim was oh so true..so true
Catch it on the evening news not because it's true, only just because its information
I jumped in front of danger , back when my legs were strong
But that was when my legs were oh so strong... so strong
Chorus:
Strange things happen and they happen to so many, many strange things happen all the time.. strange things happen and they happen to so many , many strange things happen all the time
And when they do you'll have to wonder are they worth a nickel...or a penny..
A Nickel or a penny
Read it like a romance, not because you should...only just because I might have died and broke your little heart
But a steadfast hero I remained back when my heart was strong
But that was when my heart was oh so strong... so strong
