MY DAYS IN EYDON.
=============================

Second time I collaborate with Peter.

Great musician, exceptional lyricist and masterful social critic. All his work is full of social winks, a memory of something or someone or a beautiful poetry, and you can see it in the link below.

The first time he was kind enough to give me, on top of music I sent him, wonderful lyrics about my city, in which I feel deeply lucky to live. Do not publish this song as a gift, but you can listen to it in the following link.

That's why I decided to finish an unfinished song in December 2015 so that I could describe the town where he lives and return the gift to him.

Thank you Peter for your patience, enthusiasm and dedication.


Lyrics.

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Stones
Spangled with iron
In perpetual denial
Of earthly ticks and tocks
Doing time in village stocks
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... now....

Earth
Soft as the bells
Old hands forged them well
When you can smell the time
And hear the fires shine
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... 
…..............but the whispering …..is mine.....
…...................it's all mine....

My Days In Eydon (Peter & Midisound)

So juicy and so purple black
Profusion in the mortal stack
Relentless in their silent March
To dominate the universe
With a vengeance few can understand

Dilitants with good intentions
Were enlisted and abetted
The invasion from the Himalayas
Where they landed long ago
From the planet of the purple berry
In a tiny spaceship made of Gold

Sent by cosmic tricksters
With intellect and agendas
Way beyond our comprehension

Now they're in my backyard
Now they're at my door
Razor canes drawn for battle
Like Neolithic Swords

Some say the Cobbler makes it worth the Risk
But I'm not so shore.

Planet of the Purple Berry (Himalayan blackberry)

There are times in our life when we  reflect through our thoughts.
Our Souls are the platforms that harbour these thoughts, emotions and desires.
I recently experienced these moments, which inspired this track.
I hope this music will take you through the same journey.

our Souls in Solitude

WHO’S WHO WHAT’S WHAT
WHERE’S LEFT FROM RIGHT
WHAT’S RIGHT FROM WRONG
ME  I DON’T KNOW

CAN YOU MAKE OUT
DAYLIGHT FROM NIGHT
OR HIGH FROM LOW
ME I DON’T KNOW OH
 
QUESTIONS QUESTIONS
WITH NEVER ANSWERS
WHY?
THAT’S ANOTHER QUESTION

WHO ARE YOU WHO IS ME
WHOEVER WE MAY BE
DESTINY
DESTINATION

HORNBILLS CHEAP THRILLS
FOOLS ON BLUEBERRY HILL
THE QUESTION IS
WHO’S GONNA PAY THE BILL 

WHO’S WHO WHAT’S WHAT
WHERE’S LEFT FROM RIGHT
WHAT’S RIGHT FROM WRONG
ME I DON’T KNOW

QUESTIONS (Lyrics)

Original song and lyrics, guitars and vocals from Dirk Taubenheim (The Gatsbys)
Arrangements, mix and mastering : Richard Gonfrier

I'm feeling very proud today to contribute to Dirk's work, and share with you the outcome of our collaboration on one of his songs. 
Dirk kindly offered me to have a thought on some of his unfinished songs, and I was immediately touched by this one, One Of A Billion Stars for the meaningful lyrics and the message of Hope it delivers.
Since the beginning, I knew I wanted the same lush guitar I used for the song 1.00am, fitting so well with Dirk's voice. But this time I wanted it more subtile and more in the background than it was for our previous collab.
Then I realized that the chord progression Dirk composed was a perfect base for an instrumental chorus, with more guitars and spatial synths sounds. Finally I added a catchy synth lead line, modestly recalling Justice, which gave the modernity that this pop ballad needed to get revealed.
As I told Dirk, this song was a rough diamond I had the privilege to shape. Big Thanks for your trust Dirk, and if you want to discover and listen more of his work, please just run to his SC page https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and all your feedback is much much appreciated. 
We are all one of a billion stars....

LYRICS:
When you think you' re all alone you may be sure someone cares.
Love cannot be seen but we all know when it' s there

Sometimes we have to wait for years and that may cause us many tears
but no one leaves this world unloved.
It may be more than you can bear that makes you cry and often swear
but someone will fix your broken heart.

Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho
Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho

Who' s been telling you those lies that life sucks and is a bad compromise?
Don' t believe in things like that, all they will do is make you sad.

Sometimes we have to wait for years and that may cause us many tears
but no one leaves this world unloved.
It may be more than you can bear that makes you cry and often swear
but someone will fix your broken heart.

Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho
Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho

Don' t you be afraid no more to lose or fail - God loves you as you are.
He created space and time and you are one of a billion stars

All actions have a consequence so there is no coincidence
that means our lives really make sense.
Take care of others, spread God' s love, try to be part of heaven' s staff,
praise the Lord and that' s enough!

One Of A Billion Stars (The Gatsbys feat. Richard Gonfrier)

Cosmic Danse – The Planetary Shuffle
February 2023
Duration: 3:00
Listen to the Cosmic Danse Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/comic-danse
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the planetary panning/gliss/rotation tool that was used to compose this piece.

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.  The four inner system planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars—are terrestrial planets, being composed primarily of rock and metal. The four giant planets of the outer system are substantially larger and more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the next two, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of volatile substances.  The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus, though all except Mercury are very nearly circular. The orbits of the planets are all more or less in the same plane, called the ecliptic and defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit.  The orbits of the planets, based on Earth's 1 year orbit, are as follows: Mercury .24 years, Venus .61, Earth 1.00, Mars 1.88, Jupiter 11.86, Saturn 29.46, Uranus 84.01, Neptune 164.80, Pluto 248.80.  They all orbit in the same direction, counter-clockwise looking down from above the Sun’s north pole; all but Venus, Uranus and Pluto also rotate in that same sense.

Cosmic Danse - The Planetary Shuffle

This song began with Jeff (Stoner Jazz) sending the foundational tracks of guitar and drum/bass machine to Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), who added some additional guitar and sound effects. They then sent it over to Terry, who added synth and percussion to the second half, as well as took over the role of producer for the entire track. Terry then sent it to me. I added the mandolin and the five string fretless bass to the whole thing. Terry used Hosam's vocals for flavor at the beginning, too. I had a lot of fun working on this one. Jeff and Stephen are excellent musicians, who are open to pushing the envelope of creativity. Terry is similarly open minded and super talented behind the board. Hosam's vocals were just right for what we were trying to do, too. I sincerely hope that that, although this is already my second song with Terry, that it will be the first of many with Jeff and Stephen, as well. all of these guys make exciting, amazing music on their own, too. I'm honored to be a part of their musical world.
