I wrote this song about a year ago and was inspired to write the music after my uncle passed away who was a big part of the 1960s underground and psychedelic music scene in london ,the hippies of that time would frequent a place called the ufo club where they would drop acid and watch such acts as the early syd barrett era pink floyd and many other upcoming music stars of that time.
This song is a bit introspective as well as all things must pass like the music it was an end of an era [jim 2023]

End Of An Era [watch the video on youtube]

Gallows Kiss

The song has a remarkable age, and I changed it several times. This is the today version, recorded (guitar and vocals) with a RØDE NT-USB+; you can hear dogs barking in the distance (but I don't think they were protesting at me). The outro is from an earlier version.

LYRICS (ENG / ITA)

Break the biscuit of a only word
Dip it in the milk, see if it drips
A verse or something to put in my mouth
See what it touches me: the thorn or the rose

Cradle the minutes of some clock
To see them go slower
A precious alarm clock to put in the bank
But still I miss a thorn or a rose

It's the house made of sugar
when darkness falls
has cork steps
and walls of ashes
the inhabitants are sordid
they have a soft soul
they are foolish and perverse
it is the house of verses

Stealing the colours of a famous painting
sell them by the pound to a greedy painter
a murderous night to put on canvas
Will be worth the candle a rose or a thorn

To bet a needle from your haystack
But be a magician and find a thousand
a glorious hunt to put in your pocket
And more is not enough a thorn or a rose

It's the house made of sugar
when darkness falls
has cork steps
and walls of ashes
the inhabitants are sordid
they have a soft soul
they are foolish and perverse
it is the house of verses

-----

Spezzare il biscotto di qualche parola
tuffarlo nel latte, vedere se cola
Un verso o qualcosa da mettere in bocca
veder se mi tocca la spina o la rosa

Cullare i minuti di qualche orologio
vederli cresciuti andare più adagio
una sveglia preziosa da mettere in banca
ma ancora mi manca una spina o una rosa

E' la casa di zucchero 
al calar delle tenebre
ha scalini di sughero
e pareti di cenere
gli abitanti son sordidi
hanno un'anima soffice
sono stolti e perversi
è la casa dei versi

Rubare gli effetti di un quadro famoso
rivenderli a etti a un pittore goloso
una notte assassina da metter su tela
varrà la candela una rosa o una spina

Scommettere un ago del vostro pagliaio
ma essere un mago e trovarne un migliaio
una caccia gloriosa da mettere in tasca
e più non mi basta una spina o una rosa

E' la casa di zucchero 
al calar delle tenebre
ha scalini di sugherio
e pareti di cenere
gli abitanti son sordidi
hanno un'anima soffice
sono stolti e perversi
è la casa dei versi

La casa dei versi (House of Verses) **

Hello everyone,  

One of my first songs here on SC was an instrumental lullaby. From the very beginning, I had the idea that it could be sung. It was only thanks to Haru that this became a reality. Haru Spring asked me to write lyrics in Japanese and to let her sing them in her language. I thought it was a fantastic idea. For me, the voice and language are equally instruments, and I love going on musical journeys of discovery. That’s why I rearranged the piece.  

I’m thrilled with how Haru wrote and performed the lyrics, and I feel deeply honored to have been able to work with her. Thank you so much, Haru!  

How might the song sound in other languages with different lyrics? I find the idea fascinating and invite you to arrange the song in your native language. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me.  

Here’s the sung text in English translation:  

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

On a summer evening, shimmering light,
The distant sounds of festival music,
Moonlight dances on the water,
With the chime of wind bells.

Autumn leaves turn crimson,
Golden waves lap the shore,
Fallen leaves speak of days gone by,
As they bear fruit.

Winter skies freeze white,
On frost-covered ground, a single footstep, a light,
Warming the heart.

Pushed forward by the voice of love,
I gaze up at the passing Earth,
Surely I feel it—in every breath,
Ah, such beauty—let us be together.

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

Lullaby Of The Seasons (feat. Haru Spring)

This is a recording of a spontaneous living room jam with my good friend Hilario when he and his wife visited us at home in Amsterdam in 2016. I had forgotten the recording but my friend Hilario found it somewhere on the shelf. This was the first time we played live together instead of long distance collabs. 
After a little editing here is the track with the memory of this wonderful visit of my friends.

The title comes from the conclusion we came to when we noticed that neither of us could see well without glasses anymore :)

Hello everyone, 
I was thrilled from the very beginning when I heard the music of Sarah Paradise-Brown. Now I am not only very excited but also honored because Sarah entrusted me with my favorite song of hers to compose an orchestral arrangement. You can now hear the result of our collaboration.

The song is about the medicine that everyone needs to survive. 

Enjoy listening to the song and don't forget: 

“Love is all you need”.

  Well folks, it's that time of year again. It's time for the Eclectic Collective to take stock of the fruits of the year previous, and reflect on what making music together means to all of us. We hope you all take a chunk of time and indulge in our gift to you. We wanted to address every one of our SoundCloud friends with our voices as an intimate way to connect with each of you.
  This has become a tradition within the EC now that we've made it to our second (and a half) year of making music together. For the second time, JJ asked our friend and sometimes collaborator Jeff (Stonerjazz) to ask some interview questions of us. Then, we all came up with the answers and sent them to JJ to assemble the project.
  This mighty music machine we've created, that manages to release a new song every Friday, wouldn't mean anything if no one was listening to us. Which is why we want to extend our very sincere thanks to you for tuning in and supporting our efforts. If one other person gets joy from our music, that's such a huge accomplishment. However, it really feels like a bunch of people whom we really respect are digging what we're doing, which feels truly humbling and fulfilling. 
  With that, we hope you enjoy hearing us voice our thoughts over the highlights of our musical year as much as we enjoyed a year rich in music and comradery. Happy New Year!

This piece for erhu and pipa is inspired by the majestic Huangshan Mountains (aka Yellow Mountains).

Huangshan (Chinese: 黄山), literally meaning the Yellow Mountain(s), is a mountain range in southern Anhui Province in eastern China. It was originally called “Yishan”, and it was renamed because of a legend that Emperor Xuanyuan once made alchemy here. Vegetation on the range is thickest below 1,100 meters (3,600 ft), with trees growing up to the treeline at 1,800 meters (5,900 ft).
The area is well known for its scenery, sunsets, peculiarly-shaped granite peaks, Huangshan pine trees, hot springs, winter snow and views of the clouds from above. Huangshan is a frequent subject of traditional Chinese paintings and literature, as well as modern photography. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of China's major tourist destinations.
