Wonderful song Bas, so powerfully personal.

@user-138663860: Hey Sandy thanks so much for listening and the support!

A hauntingly beautiful acoustic treatment of a powerful poem about estrangement and retreat from the world. The back vocals and the cascading-down guitars were especially delightful.

very nice guitar work, vocals good.  nice melody

Excellent track, really well written and produced.  Keep up the great work

Thanks for another lovely and poignant tune, Bas.

Bas, you have to sing some of these in English.  This is too good for a small audience

this is so good, both vocally and instrumentally.

The Station ( Acoustic )

This is a song for my Mary, but it is applicable to all Mary's. 

This is my first attempt at recording new material since last summer, I've been writing and playing a lot, but I just haven't had the time lately to get my ideas on tape. So it's nice to get this one out, and hopefully, it'll not be as long a wait for my next. 

Thanks for all the listens and support, it's greatly appreciated as always. cheers!

lyrics

don't let the world dictate to you
be your own girl
in a world that's you

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your time 

don't let the world
loose from your grasp
come up for air
whenever you get the chance 

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your 
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your time

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
don't listen to the boys 
they all screaming that it's true

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
but there's nobody out there
can do you as good as you

so don't let the world
edit out your past
look back with pride 
and don't
catapult so fast

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your 
wasting all your 
wasting all your time

Time, For Mary

Sitting here, waiting for you..
When will you arrive? Don't have a clue!
But one thing I know for sure
I wanna make love to you!

Thinking of your sweet lips
Can hardly wait to give you a kiss..
Oh baby, are you coming soon?
I wanna make love to you!

Waiting...Waiting....Waiting....
Ohh I have waited so long..
My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

Baby, are you ready for me?
I'm hungry for your love.. Can't you see?
Longing but still have faith
that you will come, so I will wait!

Waiting...Waiting....Waiting....
Oh I have waited so long..
My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

Oh baby, are you coming soon?
I wanna make love to you!

Still sitting here, waiting for you..
How long I have to wait, ain't got a clue!
Days and months turned into years..
But I still wanna make love to you!

Cast of Characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano, sax
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and acoustic guitar
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
  We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinkled some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning. 
  Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is. 
  We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile
I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3
I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family
A comfort zone for me x2
To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me

Hope We Ever Meet - (Eclectic Collective) w/ Steve's Planet

[Rough translation]
RECOVERY
When, after a fever and despair
and physically intolerable misery,
I step by step returned to the world,
everything sounded  new again.

In words that I knew from childhood
I recognized the true sense;
almost every 'and' hid an 'et cetera'
in the beginning, words had no ending

But I healed and this ecstasy disappeared:
sounds were again just sounds,
and what was said around me

was the same nonsense as always.
One must forgive me
that I increasingly keep my mouth shut.

HERSTEL
Toen ik na vertwijfeling en koorts
en lijfelijk onduldbare ellende 
geleidelijk weer aan de wereld wende
kreeg elk geluid opnieuw iets ongehoords.

In woorden die ik al van kindsbeen kende
herkende ik de ware zin des woords;
haast ieder 'en' verborg een 'enzovoorts',
in den beginne nam het woord geen ende

Maar ik genas en deze roes verdween:
geluiden werden weer gewoon geluiden,
en in wat er gezegd werd om mij heen

heerst als vanouds dezelfde flauwekul.
Men moet het mij maar niet ten kwade duiden
dat ik mij meer en meer in zwijgen hul.
