Nu Jazz Chill that leans into bluesy funk with playful melodies and percussion at 92 bpm

An original digital composition, no AI, written MIDI to DAW by a human 

One of my favorite things about December is its Geminid meteor showers. Unfortunately I missed this year's showers, but I have experienced meteors up close from a mountaintop as speeding balls of light whooshed by — they sang a hissing hum as they flew within a thousand yards overhead. Through a cloudy mist I saw spectacular white fireballs ranging in size from that of lemons to as big as footballs 😃

The Geminid meteor showers originate from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. According to the American Meteor Society, “Geminids are often bright and intensely colored. Due to their medium-slow velocity, persistent trains are not usually seen.” They travel at a medium speed of 35 km/second ☄️🫨

A Jackson College announcement for a December 13, 2025, Geminids Watch Party described the occasion as “one of the most active and reliable annual meteor showers, producing up to 120 bright, fast meteors per hour under ideal conditions. First observed in the mid-1800s with just a handful of meteors per hour, the Geminids have grown into a major celestial event known for their vibrant yellow streaks lighting up the winter sky.” 🎇

Another note today too
Another argument today too…
I'll try to change my attitude
I'll learn to communicate more

What are you waiting for to grow up, girl?
Isn't it time now?

We've placed so much hope in you,
I understand well that you're the one who starts the dance
But, remember,
You always have a limit you have to respect...

I should behave like my grandfather
who left me perplexed as a child
by denying me access to music
for my behavior
and from that day on I began to complain.

We've placed so much hope in you,
I understand well that you're the one who starts the dance
But, remember,
don't cross the limit you have to respect...

It's okay that times have changed,
that distractions are many
and companions are damaged,
but you, give it your all and you'll see
what satisfaction you'll have.

What are you waiting for to grow up, girl?
Isn't the time now?

We've placed so much hope in you,
yes, you're always the one who starts the dance...
Now you know and remember,
that you really mustn't cross that limit.

Don't worry... come on...
you can do it...

CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – organ, synth, effects-heavy guitar, initial drums and bass, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass, PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar, vocals, and lyrics
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – piano
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST bassoon and harpsichord   
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Chris' composition with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he recently shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective . We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsichord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

ORIGINAL LYRICS BY JOSH CLARY:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly, let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light  of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside  and see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt  with me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside and see

I was very happy when Viv agreed to collab, and then produced some beautifully inspired acoustic and bass, and loved what he created.
Many thanks Viv, it was fun working with you again!

Lyrics
An unlikely a pairing
As ever would be
The Doo and the Daw
In a strange harmony

One bustles, one struts
But their business is clear
The attaining of order
For survival so dear

Day after Day
In garden and field
They comb all the ground
For a hopeful yield

Blue eyes a watching
Should a chance appear
Or a playful encounter
With a friend, brings cheer

Thankyou to those of you who liked and commented last week when the vocal stem went out by mistake!

Paul Young — PRS SE semi-hollow body electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Upright double bass and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums

Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – electric guitar
This is a song that Josh and his cousin Paul came up with on Thanksgiving night, after everyone went to bed. They were working on a much longer composition, but got stuck in the jam after looking at each other and wordlessly saying, "this is the magic, stick with it." We were playing an electric guitar and a stand-up bass to a looper disco beat when we recorded this. So, of course, Josh asked Ken if he'd add some real drums, which he did as though he were in the room jamming with us. Then josh laid down some organ to go with the jam. Chris even popped by to do that thrilling intro guitar part. Josh and Stephen also had the idea to add some banjo in here, which Stephen did like the excellent musician he is. He also managed to mix this live recording hybrid with exceptional skill. 
  This is an example of two musicians who are intimately familiar with each other, and each other's playing and sensibilities, accompanied by two other musicians who have become nearly as familiar over the past few years. Happy belated Turkey Day to everyone. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Deux sur la balançoire     (translater after French text)
Vidéo : https://youtu.be/kBOXxAyeFNY
Texte : Mélanie Pilon
Chant : Julie
Musique : Alain Illos

Deux sur la balançoire 
Vos cheveux mélangés 
Qui rit, qui chante, fais voir 
Laquelle sur le côté 

Je ne me rappelle pas
Tout est flou, c’est trop sombre 
Est-ce ta main ou la sienne ?
Pas de lumière sans ombre 

C’est hier ou demain
La scène rejouée 
Je n’y comprends plus rien
La robe est dégrafée 

Deux sur la balançoire
Vos blanches mains mêlées
Il fait chaud, quelle histoire
J’ai bien tout oublié 

Jamais on ne saura,
Ton sur ton c’est trop tard
Qui d’elle ou bien de toi
Serrait la corde noire

Dans le jardin d’Auteuil 
A la fin de l’été 
Je reconnais les feuilles 
Et l’ombre du figuier

Mais montre moi encore 
Sur le siège rouillé 
Ces deux filles dehors
Aux visages familiers

Ces traits si jeunes alors
L’une est grande, l’autre frêle 
Où sont-elles, je l’ignore
Insouciantes et rebelles 

Mettons fin au supplice
Peut-on mieux regarder
Un détail, un indice  
A dû nous échapper

Jamais on ne saura,
Ton sur ton c’est trop tard
Qui d’elle ou bien de toi
Serrait la corde noire

Mais tout de même ce décor,
Me revient, oui c’est ça 
Re montre moi encore 
C’est Auteuil, amène-moi ! 

A qui est la capeline 
Est-ce à Jeanne, à Clara 
Peut-être à la voisine
Ou alors c’est à moi ?

Qui donc est cette gamine 
Avec sa sœur là bas
Ou alors sa cousine
Je ne m’en souviens pas

Deux sur la balançoire
Vos blanches mains mêlées
Il fait chaud, quelle histoire
J’ai bien tout oublié

Two on the swing

Two on the swing
Your hair intertwined
Who's laughing, who's singing, let me see
Which one on the side

I don't remember
Everything is blurry, it's too dark
Is it your hand or hers?
No light without shadow

Is it yesterday or tomorrow?
The scene replayed 
I don't understand anything anymore
The dress is unfastened 

Two on the swing
Your white hands intertwined
It's hot, what a story
I've forgotten everything 

We'll never know,
Tone on tone, it's too late
Which one, her or you,
Was holding the black rope

In the garden of Auteuil 
At the end of summer 
I recognize the leaves 
And the shadow of the fig tree

But show me again 
On rusty bench 
Those two girls outside
With familiar faces

Those features so young then
One tall, the other frail 
Where are they, I don't know
Carefree and rebellious 

Let's end the torment
Can we look more closely?
A detail, a clue  
Must have escaped us.

We'll never know,
Tone on tone, it's too late.
Who, her or you,
Was tightening the black rope?

But still, this setting,
Comes back to me, yes, that's it. 
Show me again. 
It's Auteuil, take me there! 

Whose is the wide-brimmed hat? 
Is it Jeanne's, Clara's? 
Maybe the neighbor's?
Or is it mine?

Who is that little girl 
With her sister over there?
Or is it her cousin?
I can't remember.

Two on the swing,
Your white hands intertwined.
It's hot, what a story.
I've forgotten everything.
