TRUTH RAY - ASTRAL YOUTH

I was a dot inside my own tapestry 
I was amused by all a those they things 
the did not see

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

I walked alone inside a my own territory 
I was a victim of my own stupidly 

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

no target on my back but
still they kicking me

while I'm down struggle to see
what's staring straight at me 
one way ticket to happy

I was inertias latest cripple casualty 
I was immune to all a their forms
and repartee

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 


Natural Rhapsody

...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.

Rising For Air (G. Di Nunno)

It's now to throw aside and bleed
Out the poisons I've collected
That span that took more than gave
Open arms to leave rejected

All that pressure building
Attempts at fitting in
Followed scripts as written
Left stricken from the spin
That rise for air
Rising.

Remembered how you laughed me down
Once the aura lost its luster
And joined the band of lonely ghosts
Isolated, cold, to shudder.

Friends fled through the back door
As scissors cut the ties
Got the hand-down remnants
With footprints left by spies
That rise for air
Rising.

It all depended on a former vision
The effort given rewarded with tension
A lightened hatred as the months were flying
Became a new scene; tell me how that happened?

Where stares were hard
A lightened mood
Has entered here
And washed away.
What led to this
Is memory
To part and go
Not looking back.
Rising
Rise for air
Rising
Rise for air.

#8. Rise For Air

Within each of us, a universe of potential resides, waiting to be explored. 
It's a unique blend of passions, talents, and dreams, just waiting for the chance to shine.

You are a masterpiece, a work of art, crafted with love and care. 
Every stroke, every curve, every color, makes you who you are. 
You are one-of-a-kind, a beautiful and extraordinary being.

It’s time to embrace your individuality. 
Let go of the fear of being different and embrace the power of being yourself. 
Your uniqueness is your superpower. 
It sets you apart, makes you special, and allows you to make a significant impact on the world.

So, let your light shine brightly. 
Chase your dreams, follow your heart, and never give up on yourself. 
The world is waiting for you to unleash your full potential. 
You are capable of amazing things!

Believe in yourself, and watch as your dreams become reality.

Low Tide

... little musical sketch - completely done with (quite clever) VSTs ...
Of course something can be changed, although the major brutal upheavals raise doubts .... Hoping alone does not help, of course ;-)
Let's hope the future is open for good turns!
... wishing a good 2025 !

Can we turn the tide?
