Some day

Velvet Lace

Winter Breeze

Nat wrote this beautiful song some time ago inspired by some of the greatest love stories of the world, including her own, and we have slowly worked on a properly produced final version where she will sing the lead. But inspired by the song myself, I decided to record my own simplified version just as a “Voice Memo” on my i-phone. Nat loved it and it hung around as we continued to look toward the piano based version with Nat’s lead vocal. But with Valentine’s Day nearly upon us and little time to make a major production effort, she decided to sing along to my rough, live recording and this is what we have to offer. The bigger version will follow but, for now, we wish all who aspire to love, a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2024!

Lyrics: When The Angels Cried

I never thought I'd ever find you, 
My heart was broken, so full of doubt, 
But heaven knew what we had been through, 
Fate led you in, as I walked out..   

And in that moment, somehow, I knew, 
I found my home when I found you...     

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found their truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels Cried 

The Angels light the dark and lonely
(The Angels.. light the dark...)
They guide the brave, and lead the true..
They lift our souls, with an awesome choir
And bring us hope, more than I knew
Our Angels searched the whole world through
To join our souls in perfect love for two ..

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found our truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels cried 

There’ll be times we’ll be indifferent
(For better...  For worse... Oh Let be your guide)
And times we wont see eye to eye
(To have and to hold...)
But at night, behind drawn curtains
(Oh My love..)
The love that shines inside us just wont let us die..

We’ll hear the Angels cry 
(In your eyes I'll see..)
As our love finds our truth.
And if the world comes to an end
We’ll meet in Heaven once again ....
And our Love will make the Angels cry…

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and I were just sniffing each other out. We'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and I was having trouble with latency in my recording. Out of frustration, I recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, I got my recording issues settled and we continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten.
In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion.
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher.
You can even watch a video of us all adding our parts on John's page right here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdeT8ySZ…owTechniqueCovers
Our hope is that we honored the almighty Led Zeppelin with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

The Eclectic Collective w/ John Anthony - Hey Hey What Can I Do

The sun kept on shining for three glorious months.
I thought I’d found myself a slice of heaven.
I told myself this an amazing place. 
I could live here forever.
And then the calendar hit September seven.

The cloudy weather came. 
And every day was more of the same.
It made me feel so washed out and grey.

I need to feel the sun shining on my face.
I’m sick and tired of living in this dark and cloudy place.
Rain, rain, rain, rain, go away I’m praying for a sunny day.
I’m checking the weather report constantly to see if - it’s goanna be sunny.
But the extended forecast has indefinite clouds and it’s not very funny.
Not very funny at all as the rain continues to fall.
It makes me feel so washed out so grey and so small.
As I try to make it through another dark and cloudy day.

I take a lunchtime walk.  I wear Gore-Tex jacket for the drizzle. 
I don’t need to wear sunglasses even though it’s 12 noon.
It’s just another cloudy day and it wouldn’t be any more dismal.
if I was strolling on the dark side of the moon.

This cloudy rainy weather - it really gets me down.
It makes me feel so washed out and grey.

I need to feel the sun shining on my face.
I’m sick and tired of living in this dark and cloudy place.
Rain, rain, rain, rain, go away I’m praying for a sunny day.
I’m checking the weather report constantly to see if - it’s goanna be sunny.
But the extended forecast has indefinite clouds and it’s not very funny.
I’m trying my best to slog my way through it - counting the days until summer.
Every day it stays cloudy is totally a bummer.
Cause it makes me feel so washed out and grey.

Xian asked me for a drum track for his absolutely phenomenal existential song about the mythical Atlas, and related it to today! This came together very quickly, as his instruments and vocals were already mixed near perfection! Hope you all enjoy, and I get a chance for another. I dig this one, immensely, and it was a true pleasure recording with him.

Lyrics:

Atlas

1
You’re a mountain of a titan of the old times
Gaia is supposed to be your mother
You’re a pole at the coordinate system
You were the prison of your brother
One could’nt really quite imagine
All the masses

You were condemned to hold up
Celestial heavens
After the battle of the gods

Since then you carried the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

2
You’re responsible and of purpose
You’re imperatively necessary for structure
You are stabilizing and decorative
You’re the leitmotif for architecture
There is a 2nd century sculpture cut of you
In the museum of archaeology in Naples

You are condemned to hold up
All the statics
Between the basis and the rooftop

Where you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

3
You contain of corpus, archi and processi
You have ligaments like wings
Articulating in every moment
Here and now right inside of the body
Sometimes there is a pain in the neck
That makes everything just worse

You were condemned to hold up
And move yes and no
Between the axis and the occiput

Where you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

Will you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders ?

Hope, it isn’t too shrugged yet
