VIII Strength

Original Song 
Lyrics
There's a faded picture hanging on my wall just like it did in my parent’s house before
As a child, the faces called from it so fearlessly their colors vibrant and true
Oh but time takes its toll even colors grow old
But their fearlessness still comes shining through

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Don’t surrender to the doubts that come in the night and say you have no more gifts to give
What you have is far more beautiful than you know even though touched by years
Cos dreams dulled by light can still be called on to shine
to yield the promise of why we’re here

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Let’s light as many fires as we can 
So we can warm as many hands as we are able

Faded Glory, Faded Glory, Faded Glory filled with Grace 
Faded Glory, leaves behind what time cannot erase
Fade Glory,  Faded Glory, Faded Glory worn with Grace

Faded Glory

Here’s a classic Kris Kristofferson song that I always recall from the Ray Price #1 hit recording in 1970. It’s another of my rough recordings done off my iPhone just to try it out. I decided to just add some harmonies and leave it as is for the general idea, complete with background noise for some added personality.

For The Good Times  (Kris Kristofferson cover)

[LYRICS]
She comes like the rain					
She comes like a Sunday morning					
She comes like the breeze					
Fresh(es) out a song in my mind					
					
I know it's a dream					
A dream that will soon be awaken					
Like a haunting memory					
I see her face in everything I do					
 					
CHORUS 1					
Nevertheless, with no regrets					
Falling for her deep inside					
Feelings I try to hide, keep on overflowing					
Ha… However, 					
Though something holds us back					
It's hard for me to forget	the tender moments that we have had					

Pastel shades of light					
Turn the page and it's all empty					
Torn between pleasure & pain					
Inside the passions we refrained					
 					
CHORUS 2					
Lingering aimlessly, fate is playing tricks on me					
If that's the way God plans to be					
No one knows where it's leading					
However,  can't get you out of my mind					
Don't you know that every time I close my eyes					
You're back again……..					
					
Instrumental & repeat Chorus 1

Nevertheless

„Wenn ich gegangen bin“  (24.08.2023 )

Ich sitze am Ufer eines Sees. Die Sonne neigt sich im Horizont.
Spiegelt im See einen goldenen lichtdurchfluteten Pfad in die weite Unendlichkeit.

Es ist noch Zeit ? 

Eines Tages werde ich diesen Weg im Sonnenuntergang über diesen goldenen Pfad der Ewigkeit schreiten.

Gehen über zarte goldene Wellen völlig Eins sein mit dem See.

An das andere Ufer durchschreite ich das große Licht der Ewigkeit.

Wenn ich gegangen bin.

"When I'm Gone" (08/24/2023)

I am sitting on the shore of a lake. The sun is sinking on the horizon.
Reflected in the lake a golden light-flooded path into the wide infinity.

There is still time ?

One day I will walk this path at sunset on this golden path of eternity.

Walk across gentle golden waves, being totally one with the lake.

I cross the great light of eternity to the other shore.

When I'm gone

Thank you for visiting and listening.

When i'm gone

WHEN I'M GONE

Perhaps you need some relief and some peace. Go for a walk, take a deep breath, visit the woods......get outside in nature!!! 
Put a kettle on the fire, sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee OR any beverage of your choice. Relax. Get out of your head.

If you happen to be walking a path in the very early morning you may almost feel the trail itself requesting a new dawn. There will always be a new dawn. Remember that!

I really like this song (of course, I like all my songs ; ) and hope you do too!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy
Dave

Cast of Characters:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –electric piano, organ, and arrangement

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–four string fretless bass, guitar, arrangement

  This is a song that began as a drum track that Ken came up initially as a beat for another SoundCloud user, who respectfully declined it. Instead of letting a solid go to waste, Ken set it loose with JJ and Josh, who came up with an arrangement for the music over top of what they felt was a very killer beat. What was originally a jam, turned into a showcase of the entire Eclectic Collective. Josh also did some guitar work in this one, and with Stephen's brilliant harmony, came up with the opening theme that reoccurs about halfway through. His guitar can also be heard briefly right after the opening theme. Along with Stephen's other half of the theme, he is also responsible for the dynamic, climactic leads through most of it. Tez added his incendiary guitar to the final section, when all else was said and done, as a cherry on top. After all the tracks were in the digital can, we were lucky enough to have Stephen produce and mix it for us. 
  We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the winter holidays. We also hope you enjoy this ride as much as we enjoyed assembling
