Lyrics:

When you saw her face
You couldn't look away
And knew right then and there
(That) One day you would meet

From living room to Kathmandu
Trekking ever closer
Day to day and week by week
Now you're standing at her feet

Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

V2
Nothing with her comes easy
She gives no guarantees
She is the roof of the world
And the ice falls at Khumbu

You give her all you've got
Because nothing less will do
In the end you still may lose
Or watch your dreams come true
Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

Mount Everest Divine

Corriamo al Monte della Pace   [Parafrasi del Salmo 83(84)]
E' una parafrasi del Salmo: ho liberamente adattato alcune frasi al tema della Pace!

Let us run to the Mount of Peace   [Paraphrase of Ps. 83(84)]
It's a paraphrase of the Psalm, I freely adapted some sentences to the theme of Peace!
(The English translation is below the Italian lyrics)

“ Quanto amabili sono le tue dimore, Signore della Pace.
L’anima mia languisce e brama gli atri del Signore.
Il mio cuore e la mia carne esultano, 
esultano nel Dio della Pace.
I passeri hanno casa e le rondini il nido, 
dove porre i piccoli, vicino al tuo altare, Signor, 
Re della Pace e mio Dio.
Beato chi la casa tua abita: le tue lodi sempre canta!
Beato chi trova in Te la sua forza
e inizia nel suo cuore il cammino della Pace.
Beato chi decide nel suo cuore per la Pace.
Beato chi decide nel suo cuore per la Pace.
Andando in una valle di pianto, 
una sorgente sgorga e si arriva presso Dio:
stare nella sua casa solo un’ora
è più che mille anni vissuti senza Pace.
Sole e scudo è il Signore, Re della Pace.
Grazia e gloria vengono dal Re di Pace: il bene non rifiuta.
Beato chi confida nel Dio della Pace! "

“ How lovely are your dwelling places, Lord of Peace.
My soul pines and longs for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh rejoice,
rejoice in the God of Peace.
The sparrows have a home and the swallows a nest,
where to lay their young, near your altar, Lord, King of Peace.
Blessed is he who dwells in your house: he always sings your praises!
Blessed is he who finds his strength in You
and begins in his heart the path of Peace.
Blessed is he who decides in his heart for Peace.
Blessed is he who decides in his heart for Peace.
Walking in a valley of tears,
a spring gushes forth and one arrives near God:
staying in his house for just one hour
is more than a thousand years lived without Peace.
Sun and shield is the Lord, King of Peace.
Grace and glory come from the King of Peace: good does not refuse.
Blessed is he who trusts in the God of Peace! "

CORRIAMO AL MONTE DELLA PACE   (LET US RUN TO THE MOUNT OF PEACE)

Cast of Chracters:
Sean Smith /|||||| Orange Paperbacks -- @the-orange-paperbacks — acoustic guitar and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-  four string fretted bass and organ
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

This song began when Sean, who is a superb writer of catchy pop songs, was inspired by the classic surfer movie, The Endless Summer. He wrote it on his acoustic guitar with a mind to sharing it with Eclectic Collective. He first shared it with Ken, who promptly provided driving drums and invited the rest of us to play on it, too. Josh hopped on first, adding his bass and completing the rhythm section.
  About this time, Tez got involved, laying down the Ventures-esque melodic electric guitar you hear throughout. Right after Tez did his thing, Stephen came along soon after and completed the lead part with his fuzzy, adventurous guitar. 
  At this point, it still felt very stringy, so Josh decided to lay down the organ part you hear in there, too. Once it was cooked, we tapped Stephen to do his expert brand of production, mix, and mastering to get it ready to serve. 
  This is the second time Ken and Josh have collaborated with Sean, the first being almost two years ago on a song called Diamond Marigold. When Sean approached Ken with a second song, not only Ken was thrilled, but Josh and the rest of the gang were, too. Sean has a lot of great, catchy, accessible music on his page that is all worth putting in your ears.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it

When Uncle Bill Quit Dope

 Well Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother, tall lanky man
But somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine
I'd find him out in the back yard, sitting against a tree.                                                                   
His eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare, And his mind in a cocaine dream.
                                                     
Well one fall day when Uncle Bill was having a cocaine fit                              
He said Louise this coke's no good and I've made up my mind to quit.
Now you take this key and I'll go upstairs and then you lock the door,                           
And Lord I swear I wont come down, till I don't want dope no more.

Chorus:                                                   
Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry. 
When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die.
He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope
As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope.


Well for the first few hours we heard not a sound, upstairs was quiet and still.
and then all of a sudden we heard a shriek of pain from Uncle Bill.
He bounced out of bed and across the room, I heard him break a chair.
And then another scream louder than the first as he ripped out a hunk of his hair.

My Mother kissed us all that night, as brother and I lay in bed.
We wondered if poor old Uncle Bill was dying or already dead 
But all night long we listened to him as he raved pleaded and called.                
And I swear I heard his finger nails tearing the paper off the walls.   


After fourteen days and nights of hell, it grew quiet over head.
And I peered past mother, as she unlocked the door expecting to find him dead.
But to my surprise there was Uncle Bill, as shiny as a brand new dollar.
His hair was combed and his beard was gone, he'd grown two inches taller. 

In his old blue suit and his patterned shoes, he was quite a sight to see. 
The light was back in his deep blue eyes, he turned to mother and me. 
He said Louise I've been through hell and I nearly went insane.
But I finally beat the devils habit, I beat the demon cocaine.
            




When Uncle Bill Quit Dope

Always a sunny day, 
I just can't concentrate, 
Is this the day we both changed?
  So much to throw away, 
  A change is on its way,
  Always a sunny day.
      Another rare display, 
      You tell me that's OK, 
      Is this the way it will stay?
The same as yesterday,
Always a sunny day.

Could be any day, 
Same thing again,
How could we know?
Changing today.

You're asking me when to breathe,
I'm asking you what to do.
Changing today.

You've stumbled on a stone, 
Don't tell me you're alone, 
There's something in my eyes but I cannot disguise it.
Moving at a snail pace, 
Always in the same place
Have to take a chance with the same old circumstances.

Look back and say,
A little each day,
Something will grow,
And slowly decay.

You're asking me for space to breathe,
I'm asking you to give me room,
Slowly decay.

Not just a place that we own when we're all grown and unknown,
Watching the water get tasteless and overgrown.
Used to fly like a moth to the fire for hire,
But time and time again makes you lose the desire.

Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day…

Lyrics

The comb lost its shape
The world,
It's broken.
Space womb this place,
Us babies growing.
It's sticky on here
Throw me that cloth,
Let's clean the stained ground under us
Because apart and unclean forms our bubbles
The safe that locks your clean away and your smothered 

Where's the hope,
Good human isotope?
Clouded in Earth's dope?
Let's just fasten things with rope...
Hey oh
New days
New others
I won't be smothered
