Lyrics:
Paramour
Standing by
Please don’t cry

Nevermore
He won’t leave
It’s make believe 

You realize
In the storm

Evergreen
Someone new
Just for you
Make it count


Paramour

Fighting with yourself
Your chaos is held
Face with open eyes
Look towards the light

This path I chose 

I am ok
With your crazy
If you’re ok
With my own ways

To figure you out
Yeah it makes us shout
Truth behind the lie
We can fix your mind

This path I chose 

I am ok
With your crazy
If you’re ok
With my own ways

Bolton born and bread
Kind and fucked in the head
Embrace heart and mind
That’s why we unite

This path I chose 

I am ok
With your crazy
If you’re ok
With my own ways

10 days ago I had the pleasure of reaching half a million plays on Soundcloud. After 11 years ;-)
So a thank you with a little composition to everyone!

Half a million - thank you !

A song for Christmas. 
Nadia joins me on lovely backing vocals. https://soundcloud.com/nadiaselvaggi 
We are reducing our carbon emissions by recycling and reusing my nylon string guitar behind the song : ) This is therefore a companion piece to Nadia's 'At Christmastime' https://soundcloud.com/nadiaselvaggi/at-christmas-time-by-garddwr-porffor-nadia-selvaggi

Christmas Song

It's that time of year again
Peace on earth and goodwill to all men
The whole world seems to be a mess
What can we do to relieve our distress
Will our mistakes forever last
Is nothing possible because of the past

This world has been here for a billion years (give or take a few billion)
Each year it starts again with no arrears
It doesn't look back and think it's wrong
Each day begins with light and birdsong

Nature teaches us that life's an evolution
We should follow it's path to find our solution
Each year the buds break and start anew
Could you forgive me and I forgive you?

live and let live
forget and forgive

Christmas Song (with Nadia)

Cast of characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Takamine acoustic and Gibson Les Paul electric guitar, composition, lyrics, mix, and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – jaw harp and vocals     
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 for voices that include bagpipes, Celtic flute, and Hammond B3, along with the bagpipe and "off with her head" outro
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision bass

This song started as a rough recorded by Tez on his acoustic and electric guitars. He also wrote the lyrics right off the bat, and introduced them to the rest of The Eclectic Collective by singing them as a rough, too. His vision for this was to create a song that sounded like it could've been recorded at Headly Grange. He also wanted it to feature instruments that wouldn't sound out of entirely out of place in Feudal Age Britain (between 1000-1600 C.E.) to carry the spirit of his lyrics.

  Tez always writes songs that are fun to learn and have cool changes, so the we all jumped in with both feet. Ken was first up with his Bonham like big, bad beat. To that, Josh added his P-bass, which he used a plectrum on, something he rarely does, trying to sound like JPJ to match his Ken's energy. JJ came along next, adding his colorful mix of raucous organ, time period relevant Celtic flute, and outro bagpipes. He did the entire outro, in fact, including the "off with her head," line, too. 

  Once the music was all laid down, Tez tapped Mark to sing the humorous lyrics. Mark came through with flying colors on the vocal performance, as always, too. Mark also added the textural, boingy-sounding jaw harp in the chorus sections.

  Now that it was all in the can, we asked Stephen to do the final mix and mastering, along with some of his typically brilliant production. It should be noted, though, that Mark also contributed significantly to the production, too, with his masterful editing skills.

  This was a really fun tune to put together, as we always have fun working on Tez's seeds. We hope you enjoy listening to this a much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Llanpsych:
Verse 1
Working in the fields
All summer long
Glowing like the sun
Oh so fit and strong 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove
Verse 2
Loving in the dusk
Lying in the hay
Drinking hot cider
Till the end of the day 
Feudal Woman
I like the way you move
Feudal Woman
I want to plough your groove

Just the plain text of Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6, announcing the birth of the promised Messiah. It's also part of my Isaiah full project.

Porque um menino nos nasceu, um filho se nos deu, e o principado está sobre os seus ombros. E o seu nome será Maravilhoso, Conselheiro, Deus Forte, Pai da Eternidade, Príncipe da Paz.

Isaías 9:6

Honestly not my favorite song, pretty bad

Look up at the Fireworks (NY25)

White Bumps On My Arm

This song has a metaphor I've used once before. in the track Autumn in the Wind. In that song we are "Standing waves to winds of harm... In this song we are too "... standing waves"
I love the idea of us being standing waves to poisonous mind sets. So, a standing wave is a sound wave that cancels another wave out because of the relevant symmetry between themselves and the surroundings and we get silence instead of the two sounds. So when using it now I'm empowering us as the standing waves to hate, as hate is all created on our heads just like love is...


Lyrics

I was wrong
Flew off that handle
That was made ok
It found responsible person
Remnant of reason
Bloomed harmony season
Intelligence for my emotional treason

So cheers man
Cheers for time
Cheers for love
May melody rhyme
Life's too short to not care
My disillusionment made fair

I was wrong
Now that's not matter
Our standing waves
Wrapped that in batter
We seasoned sane
With simple tame
Harmony in collaboration again

I just listened to a very interesting piece on the radio about emotional intelligence. Since becoming a parent I've obviously thought a lot about this and generally consider myself to be that. Parenting is the single biggest thing that has challenged my EI in my adult life although seeing how my kids act a mirror of me is very enlightening indeed...

However I wasn't emotionally intelligent the day I deleted this upload...

So this is a collab with superb artist Remnant60 https://soundcloud.com/remnant60

Not so long ago when I was flying off the handle trying to make sense of politics in art and very disillusioned by whats going on... Remnant60 called me out on that and how I maybe project against just one side sometimes... I flew off the handle before we even had a chance to talk... Slapped him with some words, Unfollowed him and deleted our collab... What a muppet I was...

I've been waiting for the opportunity to make it right and make it better...

The song musically hasn't changed from how it was when I last had it up but I added a poem to mark that negative turned positive...

My outlook on life has changed a little and I have Remnant60 and a few other straight talking and silent SoundClouders to thank for that...

You know our problems only get fixed when we are emotionally intelligent towards one another ... even if our truths clash... As artist Sound23 advertises so wonderfully with his birds (https://soundcloud.com/sound23-941370948/dream-of-better-times-in-2023?si=d02356731cea4d7bbd391293880bdeeb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)... We need to fly both directions at the same time from a middle ground and accept each other for how we are and what we are. Once thats not hurting anyone else then acceptance is the key I suppose...
Listen to Acceptance by Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri) on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VYVk31WNDkPDQwCK8 Aileen paints that nicely with her amazing instrumental track there.

The expert on the radio said we learn our emotional intelligence from viewing other people and in turn honing our empathy. Well Remnant gave me an ickle upgrade that day...

It's worrying how the young generation replaces watching people with screens though... They're all going to be weirdos unless that changes..

I suppose, it's ok to be wrong if you're prepared to be right again about it when the light actually shines on any subject. Don't be afraid to admit your wrong. Be proud of whatever you've discovered even if you need to hold your hands up and say. My bad 🙌🏽

remix of "realistic lasers of gold" by pretzels malone

the words:
Lil’ spaceman steals your music
Lil’ spaceman’s here to abuse it
Gonna chop it down, loop it and reuse it
Gonna lead us to the promised land 

It’s a looped six seconds of realistic lasers of gold
Remember the song about the girl who didn’t do what she was told
Well, it’s about to get old,
so I’m going to step out quick, before the beat goes cold.

I’ll throw a high five up and then I’ll move it
You gotta move faster....space blaster
Unless your after disaster
Keep your eyes on the master
Talking faster and faster
Preacher preachin’ like a pastor


lil' spaceman steals your music

I make shitty ass music, so definitely listen to it? I guess, n-not like I want you to or anything l-like that, you Baka!🥀
