Eric thank you so much for bringing this into the light by Michael.  He was a fave of mine all through their career and his letting go was also his freedom.  Wonderful!

LOVE your voice on this, Eric. Such a wonderful arrangement and overall sound. What a beautiful tribute to Nez.

Very cool my friend. Even cooler to know it was 16 tracks in first takes! That's dope. Cool getting to know you as a musician now! ;)

Really enjoying Eric-lovely arrangement and vocals!

Eric!   Love this.  So cool the vocals, mix and way you recorded it-- just like Nesmith!  Whoooooo!

gorgeous delicate heartfelt well done you clever sausage love carol  xxx

Sagan discusses the story of the Heike crab and artificial selection of crabs resembling samurai warriors, as an opening into a larger discussion of evolution through natural selection (and the pitfalls of intelligent design). Among the topics are the development of life on the Cosmic Calendar and the Cambrian explosion; the function of DNA in growth; genetic replication, repairs, and mutation; the common biochemistry of terrestrial organisms; the creation of the molecules of life in the Miller–Urey experiment; and speculation on alien life (such as life in Jupiter's clouds). In the Cosmos Update ten years later, Sagan remarks on RNA also controlling chemical reactions and reproducing itself and the different roles of comets (potentially carrying organic molecules or causing the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event).

Grammy® Nominated For Best Americana Performance:

ERIC ALEXANDRAKIS Silver Moon [A Tribute To Michael Nesmith]

Written by Michael Nesmith. 

Produced, performed, recorded and arranged by Eric Alexandrakis in first takes on a 16-track recorder.

On December 10, 2021, pioneering songwriter Michael Nesmith [The Monkees],
who is also the inventor of MTV, and a major influence upon the development of  the home video market, passed away at  the  age of 78.  His  passing  has  left  a  hole  in  the  world,  but  his influence lives on forever.

As a songwriter and overall innovator, Nez has been a great influence upon my music.  His passing affected me greatly and pushed me to record a cover of his solo classic “Silver Moon” from his 1970 album LOOSE SALUTE.  I’ve been wanting to record this song for many years, but as life tends to get in the way, I suddenly found myself drawn to giving Nez a send-off to his next cosmic journey, in my own way.  So I fired up my 16-track recorder, played all of the instruments myself in first  takes to keep it spontaneous, singing through guitar pedals, and released my version of “Silver Moon” 20 days after Nez’s passing...on his birthday.  

I hope you enjoy my recording, and Nez’s music.  EA x

Silver Moon [A Tribute To Michael Nesmith]

Distant Shores (Kevin Paczesny's Acoustic Edit)

"Iter. Path. This is a sea musical story about adventure, love, tragedy, and salvation with an open ending. It's about how the end of any story is just the beginning of a new, more inspiring and gripping one and about how the story of life is cyclical. Just like on a clock face where the hands smoothly transition from one hour to the next, the 12th composition is replaced by the 1st. In this album, everyone can find a reflection of their own story."

'TheDelta57' came up with a great idea for a track and was kind enough to let me get my hands on it. When I had finished playing around, I asked Skyline Tigers if she was interested in coming up with some lyrics (shown below) and singing on it. Luckily for everyone, she was and wow, what a fantastic job she did. Her voice is just incredible on this.

Lyrics below, by Skyline Tigers:

 You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

You belong to me
Till I set you free 
You belong to me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

Feel how I want you (x3)
You belong to me
Till I set you free

This one night only (you belong to me)
Make your love own me
Need you to show me (till I set you free)
Make your love own me

This brief encounter
That single hour
Gave me the power
To devour
Your pleasure and your pain

That deep attraction
That spiritual reaction
Giving me action
Satisfaction
Exploding in my veins

That brief encounter
That single hour

That brief encounter
That single hour
Giving me power
Devour
The pleasure and the pain

Satisfaction

I want you baby

Part I

OK man, you hear me, yeh?  
Don't let 'em tell you anything man 
 Anything! 
 All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!
Stick with me!  
Yeah…  Yeah, I'll get you out of this
Do you wanna know what really happened? 
 You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
Hey that's mine! Put it back!  
If you want something, ask. 
 That's how this started…

(New National Anthem)

I'm f*cking lost...
All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!

(New National Anthem)

You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
If you want something, ask.  
That's how this started…

Part II

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man

Floating
High above the cities
Shines a lonely ray of truth

And screaming
High above the cities
Sings a lonely photobooth 
(Gone in a flash)

Face up
It's only you that matters
Or have you lost that with your youth?

(Solo, New National Anthem)

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man
I’m f*cking lost!
  It's only you that matters
  That’s how this started
You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man…

"Some commentators noted that, although under the capitalist model inefficient private commercial enterprises should be allowed to go bust, the banks were "too big to fail". Not a single bank chief or chairman went to prison in the UK or in the US.[7]"

---

Familiar sparks of blues and whites,
With urgency like night time flights,
And wrapped inside a nervous gown -
The downside of this upside down.

They like it when my voice is ice,
And nothing more than sacrifice.
I'm all lit up in this dark town,
And upright when I'm upside down.

Between the lines is always clear:
You're worried for your landing gear
And who'll be there upon the ground
To right you when you're upside down.
