Erstaunliche Atemtechnik Sir Gabriel! Klasse track

So much energy in this piece. It just makes me want to move.

@user-936947521: Thank you, dear Frans!!!

so sweet … so ironisch… super. Du bringst es mal wieder auf den Punkt! Top Zusammenarbeit!

🎵 Was für eine brillant sarkastische Gesellschaftskritik! Die Art wie du diese scheinbar unverbundenen Begriffe zu einem erschreckend klaren Bild unserer Zeit verwebst, ist genial ✨ Der Kontrast zwischen dem ironisch-harmlosen Titel und der schonungslosen Bestandsaufnahme sitzt perfekt 🎸 Jede Zeile ein Treffer, jedes Wort eine Anklage gegen die Absurditäten unserer Welt 💫 Die musikalische Umsetzung verstärkt die Wucht der Worte noch 🌟 Ein Deutschrock-Meisterwerk, das mit beißendem Spott den Finger in unsere gesellschaftlichen Wunden legt ❤️ Kraftvoll, intelligent und absolut notwendig! 🎵​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ja, so sieht's im Moment aus. Kurz und knackig auf den Punkt gebracht. Das Solo zum Ende ist klasse.

Lyrics:

Build a bridge West
A northern kind of chap
For the listless
Who do what they want

Find the right rock
To roll up a hill
Traveling fast now
It's all in the thrill

Carve a road South
An Eastern kind of bloke
For the traitor
Those thinking kind of folk

Shifting sands of
Time's ever tide
Unraveling fast now
And now I never tried

Lay the rails North
A western kind of gal
Amongst the chosen
The wind had cast his sail

Not so fast now
The vulture circles above
The rock has fallen
Down the road of the here and now

Sagittarius A

It's always a pleasure and an honor to add to David's beautiful guitar compositions. This is (for me) a somewhat melancholy glance back at summer and a looking forward to what is to come: the crackle of a woodfire and the different ways the sunlight plays on the floors during the autumn season. I love the changing of the seasons and I thank my Creator for this pleasure.

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							


As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell  a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?		
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?				

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

This song began with David, who wrote it on the guitar, synth, and bass over a programmed beat he created. He and Josh met more than two months ago and decided to do a collaboration, based on mutual enjoyment of and respect for each other's music. Dave had this song pretty much fleshed out, although it was still a skeleton when he offered it to Josh, who, of course, got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. 

  Dave asked us all to compose our own parts for the song, so we all got to work right away doing that. We all realized that the first order of business would be to get a real beat on this, so Ken accomplished that task with some dynamic, Eastern inspired drums and percussion, which he plays throughout the song. JJ then stepped in and added his best eastern flute magic. Stephen was next with the perfect-vibe sitar you hear in the first two sections. 

  Josh came next to add his five-string fretless bass to the mix, augmenting David's high, staccato bass with his deep, low tone bass. Then, for the third section, where David's Gilmore-esque guitar solo resides, Josh drops out, allowing for Dave's awesome bass playing in that section. However, Josh does come in again towards the end, in the final section, too. Also, in that section, Tez dropped an augmented, harmonic, electric fire, complementary guitar part. Then, David's frequent collaborator and friend Ron added some well blended, ethereal synth to the first section, too.

  Once we had the instrumental parts pretty much laid down, we began to discuss getting a woman to sing on this, as David was inspired by The Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd, and we all agreed. Who we found to do it actually blew all of our minds. JJ, being familiar with her music, contacted Elpi first, and we were all lucky enough that she agreed to do it. Having heard Mediterranean music all her life in Greece, she tapped into what her husband said were her "ancient Greek roots," for her spectacular vocal performance. She finds all the modal notes and places them perfectly throughout her sections. 

  But before we were done, Mark came through with some really striking talking drum parts in the first two sections, too. Once we had everything in the can, David took over, both with some masterful editing and production, and with the balanced, dynamic mix. The mix was a formidable task, but he did it with considerable skill, also taking everyone's opinions into account, which is a talent in and of itself. When he was done with the mix, he turned it over to Stephen for the mastering, which the latter did to everyone's satisfaction, as always.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with David, Elpi, and Ron, and we all hope it's the first of many, as we welcome them into the EC family. They all have some wonderful music on their pages, too, so do yourself a favor and check out all of them, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The Siege

The Siege : by David Marconi featuring Elpiverse, Ron Lewis & The Eclectic Collective

a song of angst , a statement on today's circus of a wired planet 
(or parts thereof) 
WEAR EAR GOGGLES !! PLAY LOUD !!
Lyrics 
mama gathers apples 
as the sun go down 
hoping there’s enough 
to go around

gather all the kids together
 in a bunch 
line them up and tell them 
there’s no money for lunch..

you know they’re cutting down the trees 
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood

waitin at the station
just minutes after you 
Train's already gone
so i missed that too 

suddenly the fishes are 
dying in the sea 
it's coming for you 
it's coming for me 

you know they’re cutting down the trees
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood

sitting on a hillside 
watching them grow
clouds are  rolling by
do i think they know ?
 
middle of town
tryin' to cross the road
it's looking kinda pretty
looking overload

you know they’re cutting down the trees
for our own good
then try to sell us firewood ..

it's getting hot 
we gotta put it out
the flames are high 
we gotta put them out 
it's in our bones 
we gotta put it out
it's in our homes 
we gotta put it out 
FIREWOOD !!

FIREWOOD  VOX  #2 demo (PLAY LOUD) WEAR EAR GOGGLES   ;-) double tracked vocals

This one was a pleasant surprise.  Ken came at me last week with this track written, performed, arranged and sung by Joseph Shenton, who I didn't know at the time.  I heard it and definitely wanted to be involved, so they were cool on me adding a little rhythm guitar and then doing the mix and production for it.  Ken added the drums and bass. If you don't know Joseph yet, he's got some killer tunes and worth following to check em out! 

Cast of characters:

Joseph Shenton: composition, lyrics, vocals, acoustic guitar, lead guitar, harmonica, piano

Tex Mex Shaman( Stephen Watkins): Rhythm and texture guitars, production mix and master

K2 and the Three( Kenneth Karasek): Drums, bass guitar,  and shakers 

This song began with Ken and Joseph liking each other’s music. Ken invited Joseph to collaborate. He provided such a wonderful song, that maybe sounds better without drums, but we totally dig this version, as well! Ken asked Stephen to add something special, and for a fantastic third party mix down and master! This is the first collaboration with a couple of the Eclectic Collective collaborators.. we hope you all enjoy it!!

One Twist a’Whisper
Lyrics by Joseph Shenton
Music by Joseph Shenton

Bang the drum
Call the ghosts out
It’s ten to one
N’ we’re under looming doubt 

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

The cradle is tilted
Fires breath is getting hot 
Pine needles are falling
Your poised to spill all you got

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Skin on skin
Check to cheek
You pull apart quiet
To become the object seekers seek

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Jump the line
Cheat the deck
The 'bound to be foolish' 
Won’t hesitate for even a sec

Pull down the shade
Cut the light
We’re one twist a’whisper tonight

Inside Out

4. Paddy Brings Peace To My World  - my other grandfather was a Wellington pilot in the RAF during World War Two. He sadly died in 1943 so I never met him. His death left a huge impact on my grandmother (who never married again) and my dad. She said he was very loving and thoughtful and felt he would have been thinking about them right to the end. That’s the approach in this song. His nickname for her was Paddy. No idea why!  Mastered by RCD Audio. 
Paddy brings peace to my world 

Crete below us, and in this night sky
Angry fires around us as we fly
They want to stop us but they can’t win
Got to see the ones we love again  

Duralumin beams form a latticed frame
Carry and protect us from flack and shells and flame 
We’re just so frightened, five anxious scared young men
Just want to see our homes again 

And I pray that they’re safe
I did what I could 
Took leave and followed Anderson’s plans
and dug 3 metres into the Surrey soil 
14 pieces of aluminium, a small sump in the floor 
All I could do to protect them from this damn war 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world 

A publishers accountant , a chippie and two clerks
and a teacher all together, up here in the dark
We’re doing our duty, the best we can
But we’ve taken too much damage and I doubt we’ll land 

Radio messages, saying we’re on fire and losing height 
We’re trying to put them out, we’re all paralysed with fright
Just trying to make it back

And I’m imagining what’s next for her
She’ll be told at first that we’re missing
Maybe dead, or prisoners of war
But she’ll never give up on me 
That’s why I’m trying to make it back 
to Paddy 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world

All the time we spent together,
we thought we'd never be apart,
you tried to change me forever,
I made it clear from the start,

What went Wrong, It took so long

All i ever see, is the light shining in your eyes,
All i ever got, was a smile.
All i ever hear, is all of those white lies,
I think you made it clear.

I always thought you was so special,
We had good times and bad.
You wanted me to settle,
There were times i made you mad.

What went Wrong, It took so long

All i ever see, is the light shining in your eyes,
All i ever got, was a smile.
All i ever hear, is all of those white lies,
I think you made it clear.

Verdammt! Vor 25 Jahren wollte mich Peter Gabriel verklagen, weil ich unter meinem Namen Gabriel Musik machte (kein Witz). Inzwischen gibt es so viele mit dem Namen Gabriel, dass ich auf kaum einem Streaming-Portal mehr gefunden werden kann. Höchste Zeit also für einen neuen Namen! Es würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr mir weiter gewogen bleibt. Denn außer dem Namen ändert sich nichts.

Damn! Twenty-five years ago, Peter Gabriel wanted to sue me because I was making music under my name, Gabriel (no joke). Now there are so many people named Gabriel that I can hardly be found on any streaming portal. So it's high time for a new name! I would be very happy if you would continue to support me. Because apart from the name, nothing else is changing.

Musik ist das, was sie ist.
Und ich bin einfach nur der, der ich bin.
Music is what it is.
And I am just who I am.
