An epic cautionary tale, great song, excellent guitar and vocals!

I defy AI to come up with twisted aF stuff like this. Pure, unadulterated Clay Young, and I dig it!!

I may be thick as a brick but this is as cool as I am a fool - which is very much! 😁🤪🔥

Song for a Winter's Night - Lyrics  
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top 
The snow is softly falling 
The air is still in the silence of my room 
I hear your voice softly calling 
If I could only have you near 
To breathe a sigh or two 
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love 
On this winter night with you 

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead 
My glass is almost empty 
I read again between the lines upon each page 
The words of love you sent me 
If I could know within my heart 
That you were lonely too 
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love 
On this winter night with you 

The fire is dying
Now my lamp is growing dim 
The shades of night are lifting 
The morning light steals across my window pane 
Where webs of snow are drifting 
If I could only have you near 
To breathe a sigh or two 
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love 
On this winter night with you 
And to be once again with you

'I rarely make covers, but this one came in May 2023 just after Gordon Lightfoot passed away. My dear friend JC mentioned it was his favourite Lightfoot song, and I decided to make him a special Birthday present. So the cello instrumental was a present at first. 

I met Tréson at another friend's Birthday Party in July 2023. We connected and said we would do music together! We were talking about covers one day, and I mentioned to him that I have one made already!! He was thrilled when I said it was a Gordon Lightfoot tune! Tréson came into my closet studio to record the vocals (my first time doing any vocal recording!) and it was mixed and mastered by my amazing Rage Angel co-creator, Craig Robert McConnell. 

So here you have both versions...which I love dearly.' - Margaret Maria

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

It Won't Take Forever

This song is rather long. After all, it's also about a very long journey. We know that not everybody like long songs. We have an excerpt of this song in a completely different version with only guitar accompaniment. That would be the short alternative. But we would be happy if some listeners would make the complete musical journey with us and listen to the full version of the song to the end. Here we go:
Enceladus
Part I: Journey in space:
When we left the earth last year, without any sign of fear
No clue how it would be here

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight 

Far away from human life, our mission feels so right
Flying to the icy moon, a journey to the unknown
Enceladus calling us, with the rocket travelling fast
Human dreams we cannot hide, human spirit is our guide
Watch a different cosmic side, all around us the starlight
Travel through eternal night, travel through eternal night

Instrumental Part

Part II: Approaching Enceladus, Landing:
Enceladus’ coming near, Saturn is so huge and clear
Time to change the running gear
Approaching Saturn’s mystical face
After that journey through infinite space
Landing on this moon, foreign stars above
Enceladus as beautiful as love
We’ll explore the ocean under the deep ice
We wonder whether we’ll find traces of life

Travelling through the lonely night
Drifting in the milky light
Far away from human sight

Behind the rings the moon awaits
We’ll explore it’s icy gates
Instruments raised to explore
What’s under the ice and more
Secrets of the inner sea
Cannot wait what we will see, cannot wait what we will see

Instrumental Part

Part III: The scientific mission, getting the results:
(Unfortunately, we are not authorized to present the research results here; this will be done officially. That's why we had to remove this part from our song. Unfortunately, it will take a very, very long time, before the research results are published so we have to ask you to be very patient. )
…
Part IV: Dismantling the camp and heading home:
Enceladus was our home on this mission so alone
Time to leave this icy stone
Packing the instruments with care and grace
We’ll bring our finding through the distant space
In the frozen world under the star’s dome
We gather ‘cause it’s time to go home
Enceladus we will never come back
But about you we’ll create a soundtrack (you have it tight here, the soundtrack)

Camp dismantled and our probes in the crates
Every one ready the countdown awaits
We’ll bring Enceladus’ portrait, 
Destination home, we are on our way

Wait for us ‘cause we bring home amazing research data
And to earth we bring Enceladus’ water

We missed our earth and our people so much
Oh, how we want to feel again the earth’s living touch
Our family faces we long to greet
We will be so happy when we finally can meet
We’ve learned nothing is more important than protecting the earth
Every fight, every sacrifice, every effort it is worth – it!

... inspiration can brood and bubble at times, barely detectable to all but that subtle sight - the vague yet hopeful perception of a vast web, which shines somehow in the eye of intention. see through doldrums to the eternal wind. thanks for listening <3

Lyrics :
Pour une fois j’avais juste envie de faire un truc différent
Peut être plus marrant:
Je veux me la jouer façon « gazelle »
Sans,comme d habitude, « gammer » de plus belle.
Je ne suis pas la reine de la prose ni celle du slam
Mais j aimerais juste poser mes idées là.

J envie tous ceux qui ont des choses à dire
Qui ont tant de facilités à écrire le fond de leurs pensées…délavées ou exaltées.
Les miennes ont bien du Mal à se poser sur une feuille de papier
que je parte à l’aventure un dimanche
Ou à l Aube d une semaine pourtant pleine de belles promesses.
j en ai bien des soucis moi aussi
Mais Leur mise en mot est difficile.
Il est plus simple parfois de s’ allonger de ne rien faire que de les coucher sur du papier.
Est ce que ça sonnerait peut être mieux en anglais? C est une question que je me pose même si écrire dans cette langue m indispose…
Alors je glisse quelques mots comme ça pour faciliter ma prose…
It is so beautiful to be a fool and to make everything sounds « cool »,
Mais bien souvent rien de mon stylo ne coule.
Il me faudrait peut être l aide d un sorcier
Ou d un coup de baguette magique qui aiderait dame inspiration à se réveiller
Mais où vont ils bien chercher toutes leurs idées ?
Pendant que moi je me vide de toute substance… latente, redondante,ennuyante.

J envie tous ceux qui créent des chansons
Comme on fabrique des maisons
Qui en sortent des airs par million
qui osent étaler si « facilement » leur prose
Pendant que moi je ne peux rien faire à part… « getting bored ».

Tiens, je vais peut être activer la fonction dictée
En voilà une bonne idée!
Et chanter quelques da da da qui pourraient bien sonner
De quoi mettre un peu de sweet dans mes idées…

TRANSLATED:

For once I just wanted to do something different
Can be more funny:
I want to play it like a "gazelle"
Without, as usual, "gaming" more beautiful.
I am not the queen of prose or that of the slam
But I would just like to put my ideas there.
I envy all those who have things to say
Who have so much facility to write the bottom of their thoughts...washed out or exalted.
Mine have a hard time landing on a sheet of paper
That I'm going on an adventure on a Sunday
Or at the dawn of a week full of beautiful promises.
I have a lot of worries too
But their wording is difficult.
It is sometimes easier to lie down and do nothing than to lay them on paper.
Would it sound better in English? It's a question I ask myself even if writing in this language makes me unwell...
So I slip a few words like this to facilitate my prose...
It is so beautiful to be a fool and to make everything sounds "cool",
But often nothing from my pen flows.
I might need the help of a wizard
Or a magic wand that would help lady inspiration wake up
But where do they look for all their ideas?
While I empty myself of any substance... latent, redundant, boring.

I envy all those who create songs
How we make houses
Who come out of the airs by the million
Who dare to spread their prose so "easily"
While I can't do anything except... "getting bored".

Here, I may activate the dictation function
That's a good idea!
And sing some da da da that could sound well
Enough to put a little sweet in my ideas...

Du sweet dans les idées pour une suite en D

Hands, So beautiful, We can do so much good with our hands, reaching out to other person as a sign of Peace and love, to play an Instrument, to paint a picture or just to hold someone else's hand when they need someone. But we can also do so much harm with our hands, we can hit, break, hold a gun to kill someone wave a fist in Anger. My hands are used to Love and play my Guitar. What are your hands used for ?

Lyrics:
Integrity in truth
Purity in obedience to God
Tranquility in spirit
Realization in faith

Be strong in the Lord
Put on the armor of God
For the struggle is fought
Not against flesh and blood
But against the forces of darkness
And the schemes of the evil one

Stand firm
Resist
On the evil day
Stand firm
Against the spiritual forces
of wickedness
in heavenly places

With every prayer and request
At all times in the spirit
With this in view
Be alert with all perseverance
So speak with boldness
As you ought to speak

On that day the deaf will hear
And those who are blind will see
The afflicted and needy will rejoice
For the ruthless will come to an end
And the scorner will be finished

Woe to the rebellious
Who rely on oppression

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, composition, mix, and production
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 
Mistermark --  @user-432503709 — Mark — production engineering

This song began its life all the way over in on the other side of the pond, where our frequent collaborator, Artur wrote it on his electric guitar. Being a fan of surf music, he composed this awesome piece with The Eclectic Collective in mind. He shared it with the group through Tez, who was first to respond to Artur's guitar with his own, creating a psychedelic base of sound for the rest of us to add to. 
  Ken was up next, laying down his always exciting drums and percussion. Josh, of course, followed straight behind him, now that he had a beat to play to. JJ came soon after, laying in his ethereal organ and dancing electric piano. Last, but not least, Stephen laid in a really trippy acoustic arpeggio based acoustic guitar part to kick it to the next level.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. But before we even started the song beyond what Artur and Tez laid down at the beginning, Mark deftly separated Artur's basic beat from the music. Amazing what technology can do these days! For rest of the production, we tapped the very talented Tez to do the honors, which he did perfectly.
  This song marks about half a dozen we've done with Artur. We're all big fans of his unique surf rock sound, and jump at the chance to collaborate with him. If you like what we've done here, you should check out his page, as it's loaded with gems in the same strain. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
