Competere, from Latin , to compete: "to strive to gain or win something over others who are trying to do the same".

Eclecticism was first reported to have been practiced by a group of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers who attached themselves to no real system, but selected from existing philosophical beliefs those doctrines that seemed most reasonable to them. Out of this collected material they constructed their new system of philosophy.  The term eclecticism comes from the Greek ἐκλεκτικός (eklektikos), literally "choosing the best".  

The music of "Eklektikos" brings together the instruments and rhythms of many diverse cultures to create a unique world music.

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ON SAIT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ILS SAVENT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

DES NOMS D’OISEAUX DES MOTS DE TROP ET DES GROS MOTS
POUR TROIS FOIS RIEN DU MOMENT QUE ÇA FAIT DU BIEN 
DE FAIRE DU MAL UN ANIMAL 
DEUX ANIMAUX

AVEC MA POULE C’EST UNE AFFAIRE QUI ROULE MAIS
DÈS QU’ON S’ENGUEULE
Y’ A TOUT QUI S’ÉCROULE EN SUCETTE EN SEMOULE OUAIS
TEL UN CRUMBLE

QU’EST-CE QUE T’AS DIT RÉPÈTE UN PEU J’VAIS TOUT CASSER
TU M’FAIS PAS PEUR D’ABORD C’EST TOI QU’A COMMENCÉ
ON A L’AIR FIN AH OUAIS ON A L’AIR BEAU À VOIR
DÉFIGURÉS LA BOUCHE ROUGE ET LES YEUX NOIRS OH

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ET QUAND ILS EN ONT ASSEZ
DE S’ENGUEULER
CHACUN SINGLE VA SE FAIRE VOIR DE SON CÔTÉ
POUR FAIRE LA GUEULE

DES LIONS DES MOUSTIQUES DES LYCAONS DES TIQUES
DES CHIENS QUI ABOIENT ET DES CHATTES HYSTÉRIQUES
VIOLENCES DOMESTIQUES QUI S’Y FROTTE S’Y PIQUE
DANSER LE TWIST ET LA SAMBA SUR UN FIL ÉLECTRIQUE

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

ICE FROM THE SKY

2020 janine levinson

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

It's dry! so dry! said the ground to the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be flowing where I have flourished
And yet it's terribly dry

Withering and shrinking; waiting for a drink
A sprout or two will rise -- but never climb to the sky

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes
in my little piece of paradise
I should feel warm and be contented
and yet, tears in my eyes

Muttering and sinking; watching for a cloud
A spout or two will rise -- but never a drop from the sky

A quake could shake the ground 
And if a tear were to hit it right
It would split with an awful sound
And day would turn to night

The sky could fall --be upside down
The clouds my bed  -- the stars my ground
The heavens pour and burn my toes
Ice will fly.  Still nothing grows.

I woke up this morning to ice from the sky
In my little piece of paradise
It should be warm; it should be temperate
And yet, ice from the sky

LYRICS
VERSE1
Opening the window,
Hearing children play.
Looking out the window,
Welcoming the day.
New day!
New day!
VERSE2
Birds singing in the trees.
Sunny skies above.
Scent of roses in the breeze,
Inviting us to love.
New Day!
New Day!
VERSE3
We will walk together,
Through this bright new day.
We will walk side by side.
Together, we will stay.
New Day!
New Day!
VERSE4
Taking time to listen,
To what others say.
We create the future,
By what we do today.
New Day!
New Day!

New Day (ft. Arianna & Anna Rader - vocals)

My humble tribute to Rick Wakeman-

I’m lying on my back
As I watch the clouds
I’m turning down the noise
Because it’s much too loud
It’s easy to get distracted 
From what is real
It’s easy to get confused
About the way you feel
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
Sometimes you have to
Just slow things down
And remember the joy 
You once found
