Cast of characters: 

 Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ, and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass and lap steel

This song began by Steve writing it on his acoustic guitar, singing it, and passing the recording on to me to share with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Tez was first to add his complimentary guitar in his typical expert fashion. Ken then added his very tasteful drums. Soon after. I worked my bass part until it was dialed in. After the Rhythm section was solid, JJ came along and sprinkled his organ magic throughout. Then, for good measure, I added some lap steel, too.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for the job on this one. Steve is a fantastic singer and songwriter. We all feel very lucky that he so generously shares his talent and work with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
Love is all aqround
Your love is coming down x2
your love is all around x2
just look what I have found x2
love will touch the ground x2
And I'm just waiting for you
just waiting on your train
to pass my house again x2
I know that I come around again x2
I know that I can find you x2
so let me in your heart x4
You know that I can find you
you know that I will
You know that I can give
I can give you anything
You know that I can find you x4

Love is All Around (Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet)

This was a minor hit by David Soul (1943-2024) somewhat 40 odd years ago.  In fact I covered this a couple of years back but I was not happy with the vocals and the recording was put aside.  Lately I decided to give it another try and reworked the whole thing with an altered arrangement.  Just see what you think about it.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
They say maybe dreams are only movies of the mind
 Still I've lived a few
 I'm not a star
 Though in some ways I've made it
 But all these nights away is gonna lose me you
 Thought a lot about it in these back stage rooms
 And I'd leave it all, if you want me to

 #CHORUS#
Some nights, God knows I'll miss the music
 I'll miss the crowds that call my name
 I'd find contentment now
 If I thought you'd just hang' on
 Playing to an audience of one
 
Some nights, God knows it won't be easy
 I'll feel the lights I'll hear the sound
 I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one

 
The endless driving, midnight arriving
 The sleeping when you can
 Still worth it somehow just for that lift
 you get when you walk on
 But just to call you up some nights between the shows
 To say "Good-night I miss you" ain't enough I know
 So I'd leave it all if you tell me so
 

I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Playing to my audience of one
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one.

Repeat CHORUS

LYRIC
In the dreams I dream about you 
We’ve always time to spare 
And it seems like you’re about to
Tell me that you care

It’s the loneliest of feelings
To wake in the cold dawn
And the dream is gone
The dream is gone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
When the morning arrives
With its first sunbeam
I go where the day takes me
But at night I can dream

In the dreams I dream there’s times when
Rain falls down in sheets
I can’t find a door to step in
As I walk the empty streets

Then you’re there to offer shelter
As you hold a raincoat wide
And I fold inside 
I fold inside 
Your raincoat wide

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I lay down my head
And my heart pumps away
My body needs rest 
But my brain wants to play
It’s the world of the past
Sent out in a stream
I may be an old man 
But I can still dream
I can still dream
The dreams I dream

The Dreams I Dream

Curiosity Killed the Shame

Verse 1:

Princess Murasaki, she prayed for a special gift,
Devotion has its limits, now prepare for a seismic shift.

Chorus 1:

Hase-hime, a gift so true, but she don't know how to look at you,
She's on her own, the men move in, the cheats' and the liars' every sin.

Verse 2:

Jealousy's a mistress, she takes you to a darkened place,
Hatred leads to obsession, obsession steals your grace.

Chorus 2:

Hase-hime, a girl so true, angelic koto just for the few,
Danger surrounds, it's hard to tell, the House of Hase so easy to fell.

Verse 3:

Banished from her Kingdom, threatened, hurt and far away,
No one comes to see her, until that fateful day.

Chorus 3:

Hase-hime, the years have been kind, your beauty shows that good is defined,
Knock on the door, don't open wide, it's your past that's coming cos hope has died.

Middle 8:

Instrumental.

Coda:

Hase-hime, the beautiful orphan,
Hase-hime, goodness kills evil,
Hase-hime, where's the happy ending?
Hase-hime, a gift so very true.

Hase-hime (Princess Hase)

I know that the mirror will make you shine,
Looking back to a happier time.
Matsuyama gave us the greatest gift,
But my crushing depression ain't gonna shift.

Verse 2:

Reflected stranger looking back at me,
I know I should love her but I cannot see.
Stashed away, put it out of sight right now,
Never gonna look cos I don't know how.

A City of the Free, the Feast of the Dead.
