TRUTH RAY - ASTRAL YOUTH

Voice and acoustic guitar: David Dunham
Music composition, piano and electronic strings: Michele Ansani

Those recited by David are verses from one of the most famous poems and one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century (Eugenio Montale). They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The bones of cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
Many thanks to David (@david-dunhamuser589535203), who agreed to collaborate on this little creation, also adding his refined guitar phrasing. All the (usual) imperfections are mine.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)

Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
arid, lookin back, I shall see, with the terror
of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees houses hills
will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
with my secret, among the men who do not turn

---

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.

Perhaps One Morning ... [Michele Ansani - David Dunham] **

My piece is about a pyrrhic victory;  a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.

pyrrhic victory

...when your in the mood...'for a soft breeze', sit back and chill.

For a Soft Breeze

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – drums, bass, organ, triangle, and composition

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, mastering, and production

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–PRS semi hollow body electric guitar

This song began with JJ on a late Saturday night, coming up with it on the drums, bass, and organ. He even added some real triange, if you listen for it, you'll be delighted. He had a killer jazz groove on his mind when he composed it, and was able to really bring it to life on all levels. He originally wrote it as a solo piece, but asked Josh if he would like to add a guitar part. Josh jumped at the opportunity to play an original jazz song on his guitar, and in a few days, recorded more than 20 takes of it. He finally landed on the one you hear in here now. 

  They asked Stephen to mix, master, and produce it for them, which he did in his typically professional way.

  This was a fun, exciting collaboration, featuring just JJ and Josh, but the rest of the Eclectic Collective will be back with them next time. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lyrics

Coming up for air, find myself some time to escape somewhere
Perhaps a weekend by the sea, just you and me
We'll have fish and chips and stone skimming championships
The loser buys the drinks

It's just nice to leave behind 
the mortgage and the bills and the daily grind

Or we could steal ourselves a rocket ship and fly away to Mars
Stick a flag on it we'll call it ours

It's just nice to leave behind
the mortgage and the bills and the daily grind
To pack away our troubles and just leave them all behind
And unwind 

I'll let you into a little secret but you must promise me you'll keep it quiet
I've a perfect plan to rob a bank
All I needs a fast car and some dynamite

And then it would be nice to forever leave behind
the mortgage and the bills and the daily grind
Oh it would be oh so nice to forever leave behind 
the mortgage and the bills and the daily grind......

FYI:) Title explicated: More of a slang to indicate going with what's happening...
"Laying" in this track title references more of the meaning "positioning" oneself to get the energy to go to the proverbial moon...The colloquial term "Up & Adam"-- i.e.: "Rise & shine" & Carpe Diem: i.e.: "Seize the Day" to get at whatever you set goals for. ;)
