K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums, percussion

This song began as a musical letter written, composed, and sung by Carl to Eclectic Collective. We'd been sniffing around each other's pages, admiring each other's work and collaborators. So Carl reached out with this friendly, uplifting song, as a gift to the band. 
Ken was first in line, adding his awesome, driving drums to give us a heartbeat to build upon. Josh came along next and completed the rhythm section with his trusty four-string fretless bass. Stephen was next up to bat, adding his dynamic raspy guitar, which almost sounds like an electrified fiddle. Next up, Mark added the tasteful VST strings arrangement in the second half of Carl's original composition. 
We had it pretty much sounding done, but wanted to spice it up a bit, so we came up with the idea for a coda. Josh added his bass and synth in the closing section, and Tez came up with the thrilling guitar part, as well. Tez also added the thrilling guitar intro, too. 
Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion.
This is the first song EC has done with Carl, but we know it won't be the last. We all admire him for his creativity, proficiency, and prolificacy. His page is worth a stroll, too, as it contains a lot of gems.
Thanks again Carl for the wonderful tribute! And as always, we hope folks enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark: 

Hey Collective Seeds,

Let's work things out across that water
There's a cable under sea,
We can send all sorts of...
Music/Words/Sounds - It's insane!
Look Lads,
That's life in the fast lane!

So it's ones and zeros
Mine and yours and theirs
We are all heroes...

Watching the fire,
From a distance we're warm
But not from their mire,
From this musical charm.
It's a bonfire,
An inferno.
Earth got plenty to turn off...

So we can sing to love
And we can play for more dove.
Let's combine our powers. Collective!
A Paddy/Yankee toasted sandwich

Tez festival streak
Psyched for more free
K2 to peak
Mistermark chimes ' found life fought
Give, You Entheogenic Psychonaught
Collective lands
Psyched for more free

Lyrics:-
You're watching a movie
It's all a great big show
How can they tell you now
You wouldn't want to know

You're dreaming of another better life
But stuck here in the system's gears 
You see the progress that the good guys make
So you try to throw away your fears

There's a distraction to the left
Disinformation  to the right
Another distraction to the left
More information to the right

The world's a stage and now the curtain's up
And the storyline is getting strange
Whoever's writing all this dialogue
Must be laughing as the actors age

You're watching a movie
It's all a great big show
How can they tell you now
You wouldn't want to know

All you can do is dance to the beat of the rhythm that's given
Following footsteps you feel even though that you know they've been hidden

There's a distraction to the left
Disinformation to the right
Another distraction to the left
More information to the right

You're watching a movie
It's all a great big show
How can they tell you now
You wouldn't want to know

You're dreaming of another better life
But stuck here in the system's gears 
You see the progress that the good guys make
So you try to throw away your fears

You're watching a movie
It's all a great big show
How can they tell you now
You wouldn't want to know
You're watching a movie

quand les ajoncs fleurissent

When I was a kid, I had toys on my brain but now kids today want video games.
***
She says there’s a really overpowered character in in this video game that she likes
There’s a really overpowered character in in this video game that she likes
It’s my favorite game daddy she says please won’t you let me buy it
I say no, no, no, no, no no, no, ten dollars a week that’s too much money to spend
Ten dollars a week five hundred twenty dollars a year
I say no, no, no, no, no no, no, ten dollars a week that’s too much money to spend
Ten dollars a week five hundred twenty dollars a year

When I was a kid I’d ask my parents for toys and a lot of times they’d say no
Cause funds were tight and there were places where the money had to go
And now the shoes on the other foot and I’m starting to understand
I’m not pooping money like Daddy Warbucks
I’m not buying expensive drinks at Starbucks
She keeps wearing me down and there’s only so much I can take
And I know that sooner or later my resolve is going to break
Food clothing and shelter, Maslov had a hierarchy of needs
But if you drill a little bit deeper down into the weeds
There’s lots of other things that we all want
I say no, no, but eventually I’ll give in, cause I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win
I say No no but eventually I’ll give in, cause I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win
I’m fighting a battle that I know I just can’t win

CROSSROAD.

======================


November 2024.

This is a more electronic composition with a small piano touch at the end.

I try to capture in music the decisions we must constantly make in life to follow our path. I've made some wrong decisions in my life... who hasn't? But at least I can say that I made them on my own and they weren't induced, even the wrong ones. That allows me to overcome, for the time being, any regret or frustration they may cause. I believe most are irreversible because they can cause unforeseen damage, even to other people, if you backtrack and choose another path.

Happy summer, everyone.

Crossroad

This is a slow tempo folk-pop song in the key of C major, featuring a female vocalist with a clear, emotive delivery. The instrumentation includes acoustic guitar, piano, and a subtle string section. The acoustic guitar provides a fingerpicked arpeggiated accompaniment throughout the verses, transitioning to a more strummed pattern in the choruses. The piano adds harmonic depth and occasional melodic fills. The string section provides sustained pads, particularly in the choruses, enhancing the emotional quality. The song structure follows a typical verse-chorus format with a bridge and outro. The melody is largely diatonic and memorable, with a gentle, flowing quality. Production elements include a clean mix with a focus on the vocals and acoustic instruments, and a natural reverb applied to create a sense of space.

Cozy Christmas for You and Me - Rockballad

Black Swan Heart — A duet about loyalty, rarity, and the courage to love.”

Vandaag breng ik met trots mijn nieuwe muziekstuk Black Swan Heart uit — een duet dat voortkomt uit de mystiek en symboliek van de zwarte zwaan. Een dier dat niet alleen fascineert door zijn schoonheid, maar vooral door zijn betekenis:een zwarte zwaan kiest één partner, en blijft die trouw voor het leven.

In een wereld waar relaties vaak vluchtig zijn en waar mensen elkaar soms sneller loslaten dan vasthouden, vertelt de zwarte zwaan een ander verhaal —
een verhaal over loyaliteit, kwetsbaarheid, en de kracht van een verbintenis die standhoudt, zelfs wanneer het leven stormachtig wordt.

Deze track is geschreven als een muzikale spiegel van dat idee.
Een duet waarin twee stemmen elkaar vinden zoals twee zwanen op een stil, zilverachtig meer:
voorzichtig, eerlijk, imperfect, maar diep verbonden.
Het is een ode aan hen die durven te blijven,
die durven te vertrouwen,
en die geloven dat ware liefde niet vluchtig is, maar een keuze —
dag na dag.

Met Black Swan Heart hoop ik een stukje zachtheid, hoop en menselijkheid mee te geven.
Een herinnering dat er nog steeds harten zijn die trouw blijven,
zelfs wanneer de wereld om hen heen vervaagt.

🖤 Laat je meevoeren door de stilte van het water, de diepte van de melodie, en de symboliek van de zwarte zwaan.
Dank je wel voor het luisteren, delen en ondersteunen van mijn werk.
Het blijft bijzonder om muziek te mogen maken die een ziel raakt.

Met muzikale groet,

Lyrics:

Verse 1
In the quiet of the water, where the moon forgets to hide,
A shadow glides in silence, with a storm beneath its pride.
Grace wrapped in darkness, a mystery on the lake,
A creature born of contrast, a truth we cannot fake.

Verse 2
Some say it’s a symbol of the rarest kind of fate—
A soul that doesn’t wander, a heart that doesn’t wait.
In a world of fleeting moments and love that slips like sand,
The black swan finds its partner, and forever takes its hand.

Pre-Chorus
And maybe we’re the same, though we fear we walk alone,
Searching for the one whose heartbeat echoes like our own.

Chorus
Black swan, black swan, teach us how to stay,
How to love a lifetime in a world that fades away.
Show us how to trust, in the dark where we belong,
How two imperfect shadows can grow beautifully strong.
Black swan, black swan, with your fierce and tender art,
Guide us to the place where we can keep one loyal heart.

Verse 3
People chase illusions, mistaking glitter for gold,
But you move through the water with a love that can’t be sold.
No fear of lonely winters, no fear of passing years,
Just devotion in the silence, in the laughter, in the tears.

Pre-Chorus
Maybe life is teaching us with every broken day,
That rare things stay forever—if we dare to never stray.

Chorus
Black swan, black swan, teach us how to stay,
How to love a lifetime in a world that fades away.
Show us how to trust, in the dark where we belong,
How two imperfect shadows can grow beautifully strong.
Black swan, black swan, with your fierce and tender art,
Guide us to the place where we can keep one loyal heart.

Bridge
So when the world grows bitter, and the light begins to fall,
May we stand like swans together—unafraid and standing tall.
Through storms that break the shoreline, through nights that test our flame,
Let love be the water, and our truth remain the same.

Final Chorus
Black swan, black swan, we’re learning how to stay,
How to promise something real in a world of “walk away.”
In your wings we see the courage to be fragile from the start—
Teach us how to hold forever,
With one brave and loyal heart.

Outro
In the stillness of the water, beneath the endless sky above,
A black swan drifts in silence—
Just like us, in search of love.

Black Swan Heart

Words and notes, born from silence.
