My friend, indie songwriter/lyricist Edwin H. Balder, sent me these lyrics as a Christmas gift late last year. He encouraged me as I was recovering from a major health blow & surgery. Now it is Ed's turn. He's having some health struggles yet continues to write. We want to encourage him. 12 Below and I hoped to surprise him with music set to his lyrics. 

Ed, we are all rooting for you--prayers, positive vibes, and healing music your way!! Thank you for inspiring so many of us. @edwin-balder

A Song about having High Hopes for Life's Journeys !

In Scenes to Follow

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

Lyrics:

Will I wake up in my dream? 
Will I wake up in my dream? 
See the architecture of my mind 
Seems familiar but so strange

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

I open the window and fly
I open the window and fly
but then I realise I can walk through walls 
seems familiar but so strange

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

Lyrics:

In the heart of the tribe
We all unite
Children of the sun
We shine so bright
Together we stand
Side by side
Sharing love and hope
The world will ignite

Like the drum that beats
Our spirits fly
Guided by the rhythm
We reach the sky
Weaving a tapestry of colors and dreams
Every life connected
In this grand theme

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

As the drum resounds
Our souls take flight
Guided by the rhythm's sound
We reach the sky's height
Weaving dreams in vibrant hues
Every life connected

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

The Tribe of Life

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A little woweluja
Little halleluja

Wowlelujah (Eclectic Collective) - feat. Jeff Roberts

Pure Attitude (2024)

“The Highland Spirit” is a cinematic Celtic folk-rock instrumental that captures the majesty and mystery of the northern coast. With 22 richly layered instrumental parts, it builds a story of nature, emotion, and timeless tradition. In the heart of the track, a young girl stands alone by the sea at dusk, waiting for the moon to rise. As the silver light spreads across the water, she sees herself reflected—full of dreams and wonder. This moment is brought to life through poetic lyrics nestled in a sweeping musical journey. Echoes of bagpipes, fiddles, acoustic guitars, and stormy drums guide the listener through misty hills, stormy crescendos, and serene reflection. A tribute to hope, memory, and the eternal beauty of the sea and sky.

Highland Moon

This is a track that reflects the cruel debilitation of Dementia and Alzheimer's and how a person fades yet still seeks the solace of their loved ones.  Reflective and quietly sentimental but interesting.  Personally, I have lost many to this disease and it was to honour them and their memory. Photo by Kelly Sikkema (Unsplash)
