Why Am I Thinking These Things?

lyrics: Scotty & Gems

Baby, paint your nails green today,
naked on the couch as I play with my lady.
As the sun shines through the curtains delicately. 
And the birdsongs that surround us match my melody. 

Greeeeen naaails.
And soooo free.
Come back one day and make me feel this way.
One day.

Delighted for the opportunity to collaborate with JD on another of his songs. A fantastic tune about ‘The Wind’ a natural phenomenon that has in history held great significance and influence as far back as 5,000BC BC when sail-powered boats navigated the Nile River, and windmills in Persia and China ground grain and pumped water. 

I would never have thought about writing a song about it, which is why you work with someone with a great imagination!   

About the song
Since the beginning of time, the wind has always been there, a beautiful and dangerous power of nature, totally unpredictable, one that man has harnessed to power their sails and lately to generate electricity. I know the wind fairly well being a windsurfer and fair weather sailor. I know how beautiful and dangerous the wind can be. I have great respect for the wind and the Sea and always will have and this song is a tribute to her.

I would like to thank Finn Eces, my friend and co-writer of this song. Finn and I have been quite a number of songs under our belts now and I think it must be nearly time for the 1st Album Finn.
Finn’s voice and production skills have really taken “ The wind “ to a new level, fine tuning of the lyrics, adding in of that driving bass and funky guitar as well as those beautiful harmony vocals really set this song up to be a real Summer hit in all the beach bars around the world ( If Only )

Astral ZUZ

Tes doigts sont devenus baguettes et cette boulimie t'inonde, 
À ces attraits de la braguette, c'est tout l'esprit qui y succombe. 
Ces charmes tactiles t'obsèdent, tu as mis l'amoureux en tombe. 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu y cèdes, le mage noir annihile l'onde. 

Tu consommeras le sexe, l'amour est la fable du faible. 
Utile de le mettre à l'index, de ces souris, préfère l'aigle. 
Tu renieras ton amour-propre, pour un autre, bien diminué,
Féminin recevra l'opprobre, seule la tour sera sanctifiée ! 

On ne vante plus que les desserts, dans l'univers consumériste, 
Le sucre a séduit nos artères, le nous devint antagoniste. 
La pub plantait jadis des graines, dans un terreau théologiste 
Et aujourd'hui, l'amour en peine, renie ces fables terroristes. 

C'est Propagande qui désire, que tu désires plus que tu aimes, 
Qu'importe si l'autre respire, l'empire convoque violence et haine. 
On enfouira toutes tes fautes, pourvu qu'aux temples, tu implores, 
Le doux pardon de tes apôtres, oublie ton vide, ouvre tes pores ! 

- La beauté exige patience, comment peux-tu, sans trop rêver, 
Prétendre incarner une science, sans endurance pour t'y guider ? 
L'hormone liée à l'assurance, édifient nos fables modernes, 
Et ces communes acceptances, dresseront nos passions en bernes. 

Tu commandes à emporter, des nourritures, qui pour ta flore, 
Ne feront, que plus abîmer, tes intestins, qu'elles déshonorent. 
Il existe bien des magies, qui font vibrer les cœurs encore, 
Mais seul, cet index étourdi, ne saurait retirer leurs mors. 

Il est bien sûr préférable, d'aimer plus que de consommer. 
J'invite Passions à ma table, mieux que désir, enfant gâté. 
Si je vibre, c'est avec l'autre, on y découvre l'espace et le temps. 
Prétendument libres spationautes, élongeant la valeur Instant. 

Tes doigts ne seront plus baguettes, pourvu que les passions t'inondent, 
Et vers ces gravités secrètes, c'est tout l'esprit qui naît au monde. 
Ces charmes tactiles te débectent, tu as sorti l'amoureux des tombes, 
Ces sceaux de désirs, tu les jettes, la vraie magie chérie mieux l'onde.
----------------------------------------
En attendant de mettre à mal le fascisme ambiant,
Amicalement,
M'Z

Cool is watching you

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 

  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 

  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.

  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.

  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you feeling about all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A simple woweluja
Simple halleluja

Wowelujah - (Eclectic Collective) w/ Jeff Roberts

A very good friend gave me this wonderful song as a gift, with a lyric that bites hard in the heart. Thank you very much my dear friend. And as you hear, I couldn't help but let my own thoughts and feelings make some additions. ;)

In a world that rumbles, shakes and spins ever faster, there are unfortunately many fine people who lose their footing, and fall into the darkness created by various mental illnesses.
Give them a thought and an honest smile. Because an honest smile can do wonders for whoever meets it. And best of all, it only takes a few seconds of your day and is completely free, doesn't cost you a penny. ;)

Glide Path

Breaking of the snow
Turns my head, to face the west
Where memories play for show
They never rest.
Eyes are clouding down
The more I hide, the less I smile
Saddest clown
For miles and miles.

Portrait of my face
Staring back, from times long past
The blackest space
Where my shadow’s cast.
Conversation stalls
Me and I, in fractured sense,
Childhood’s pall
On emotion’s fence

And where from here?
And when to there?
And what of fear?
And who should care?
And why the tears?
And whose despair?
And how to see,
What once was me?

Water kissing salt
Cry of pain, dissolves my mind
It’s all my fault
Crevasses of the conscious kind
Sharpest form of dark
Biting hard, my ego’s lip
Laser stark
As focus slips

Glide Path - Peter & Seagull

A short song loosely based on a real guy I worked with in a CD/Record store. He was one of those guys who knew everything in their musical area of interest, from the most obscure to commercial. C'mon, you've met this guy!
From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Are you looking for some metal?
You're gonna have to wait around for a while
Are you looking for some metal?
Yeah, you're gonna have to wait around

For record store Eric
Cause that's his section
And he's possessive about it
Record store Eric
He knows all the metal that you need
Whether it's Screamo
On Japanese Imports
Death metal blue?
Just write down what you want
On a Post-It
I swear
He's gonna call you back
He's gonna call you back

Record store Eric
He's a rock & roll cleric

Ahh, well, we don't touch anything in his section
He says
Eric: "Just keep it in the backroom."
Eric:  " I'll shelve it when I get in."

He knows all the metal bands that you want
If you want a band from the 90s
Put out one album
On Sub Atomic Records
From Reseda
His hair line's receding!
Record store Eric
Rock & Roll cleric
If you want Nu-Metal
Eric: " Why the hell would you want that?"
