All You Do

The song has a remarkable age (is near 45), and I changed it several times. This is the today version, recorded (guitar and vocals) with a RØDE NT-USB+; you can hear dogs barking in the distance (but I don't think they were protesting at me). The outro is from an earlier version.

LYRICS (ENG / ITA)

Break the biscuit of a only word
Dip it in the milk, see if it drips
A verse or something to put in my mouth
See what it touches me: the thorn or the rose

Cradle the minutes of some clock
To see them go slower
A precious alarm clock to put in the bank
But still I miss a thorn or a rose

It's the house made of sugar
when darkness falls
has cork steps
and walls of ashes
the inhabitants are sordid
they have a soft soul
they are foolish and perverse
it is the house of verses

Stealing the colours of a famous painting
sell them by the pound to a greedy painter
a murderous night to put on canvas
Will be worth the candle a rose or a thorn

To bet a needle from your haystack
But be a magician and find a thousand
a glorious hunt to put in your pocket
And more is not enough a thorn or a rose

It's the house made of sugar
when darkness falls
has cork steps
and walls of ashes
the inhabitants are sordid
they have a soft soul
they are foolish and perverse
it is the house of verses

-----

Spezzare il biscotto di qualche parola
tuffarlo nel latte, vedere se cola
Un verso o qualcosa da mettere in bocca
veder se mi tocca la spina o la rosa

Cullare i minuti di qualche orologio
vederli cresciuti andare più adagio
una sveglia preziosa da mettere in banca
ma ancora mi manca una spina o una rosa

E' la casa di zucchero 
al calar delle tenebre
ha scalini di sughero
e pareti di cenere
gli abitanti son sordidi
hanno un'anima soffice
sono stolti e perversi
è la casa dei versi

Rubare gli effetti di un quadro famoso
rivenderli a etti a un pittore goloso
una notte assassina da metter su tela
varrà la candela una rosa o una spina

Scommettere un ago del vostro pagliaio
ma essere un mago e trovarne un migliaio
una caccia gloriosa da mettere in tasca
e più non mi basta una spina o una rosa

E' la casa di zucchero 
al calar delle tenebre
ha scalini di sugherio
e pareti di cenere
gli abitanti son sordidi
hanno un'anima soffice
sono stolti e perversi
è la casa dei versi

Composition – The Eclectic Collective 
This song began its life as a beautiful guitar chord progression from Stephen. He wrote it with the idea the The Eclectic Collective would bring it to life, which we were all excited to do. First up was Tez, who added the distorted guitar you hear adding the edge to the entire thing. Ken added his lively foundational drums next. Josh, of course seized on that, and followed shortly after with his four-string fretless bass. JJ came along next and added the expressive organ and dancing piano, along with the big choral vocals at the end, which he did with his new synthesizer. Now that we had the music done, it was time for Mark to add his distinct singing to the mix, and original lyrics based on what Stephen had in mind for the song. Josh decided to come up with some very simple lyrics for the choruses and arranged some harmony parts for them, too, which he also sang. Once the song was in the can, Stephen meticulously edited, mixed and mastered it for us, very ably, as always. This was a seemingly large project, which took us almost two months from introduction to finished product. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 

Original lyrics by Mistermark:

Watching the city lights getting smaller 
while I’m looking through my rear view 
Leaving it all behind hit me harder 
than I thought that it could ever do 
Sometimes a man gets lost on the road 
like a wheel spinning round in his brain 
It’s not what you said but it’s in the way you said it 
Now it’s stuck in my head and I’m never gon’ forget it

I’m moving on 
Away from home 
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Well home is where the heart is as the saying goes, 
but my heart ain’t in it no more 
But I remember all the times smelling grits in the hall 
as the morning sun hit the floor 
Old picture frames, and every toy’s got a name, 
now they’re packed up and stored away 
Turning that key for one last time 
keeps turning around & around in my mind

I’m on the road 
Away from home 
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Now I’m pointing these wheels toward the setting sun 
we’re flying straight up ahead like a bullet from a gun 
Just you & me kid and this old guitar 
we got dreams to dream and we’re gunna go far 
Like stars in the sky there’s city lights up ahead 
and I’ll keep driving toward ‘em till the day I’m dead 
Closing one door just opens up another 
there’s plenty of world just waiting to discover

I’m moving on 
Another home… 
(Away from home, that’s where I roam)

Away From Home (The Eclectic Collective)

Big thanks to the talanted Nina Moody for letting me turn her vocals into a song.
The music almost wrote itself, but mixing and mastering the vocals took me a lot of time. It's a great experience and I've learned a lot. Although I'm not entirely sure if this is deep house, it was my inspiration, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I love doing collabs and remixen, DM me if you're interested. 
There's a lot more new music coming up in various genres.

Warmer Than Your Arms (ft. Nina Moody)

Mystic Unity is a musical journey that crosses borders and shows the beauty in the connection between cultures. Through the fusion of Arabic sounds and Western harmonies, I want to celebrate the diversity and depth of two musical worlds and show what can happen when we are open to each other.

Mystic Unity invites us to embrace different perspectives and discover the unknown ... melodies and rhythms merge in a unique way. I look forward to taking you on this journey and hope it inspires you.

mystic unity

A dark, downtempo exploration of loneliness and longing 🖤

She found herself in a long, low hall
Which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked.
Alice went all the way down, trying every door.
Then, she walked sadly down the middle,
Wondering how she was ever going to get out again.

- Lewis Carrol

"Losing You" delves into the  personal experience of losing someone you love due to Alzheimer’s or dementia.  It's about those moments when the connections to who they were are fractured and lost, and the clarity they once had about their identity becomes uncertainty as they fade away. This track captures the emotional weight of navigating through confusion and the search for understanding in the midst of inner chaos.
Dedicated to anyone who's experienced the pain of losing a loved one in this way, this song is a tribute to resilience, love and the memories that live on in our hearts.


As Vincent Van Gogh once said :-
Thank you for lending me your ear and if you like the sunflowers don't forget to repost, like and follow.

This is a silky smooth production of mine and one of my finest, it includes some well timed sounds including the electric piano in various styles then building up with leads and guitar riffs.

I love drawing comics and illustrations, making paintings and animations, but my real passion is music.  Inspired by the seventies and eighties synthesizers that evolved into the nineties house. Now I try to do my own take on dance, progressive house and LoFi inspired lounge.

Try everything and surprise yourself 1 : D
