Cast of characters: 

Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, production, and mix 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass and lap steel
This song began by Steve writing it on his acoustic guitar, singing it, and passing the recording on to Josh to share with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Tez was first to add his complimentary guitar in his typical expert fashion. Ken then added his very tasteful drums. Soon after. Josh worked his bass part until it was dialed in. After the Rhythm section was solid, JJ came along and sprinkled his organ magic throughout. Then, for good measure, Josh added some lap steel, too.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, and Tez was the man for the job on this one. Steve is a fantastic singer and songwriter. We all feel very lucky that he so generously shares his talent and work with us. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
Love is all aqround
Your love is coming down x2
your love is all around x2
just look what I have found x2
love will touch the ground x2
And I'm just waiting for you
just waiting on your train
to pass my house again x2
I know that I come around again x2
I know that I can find you x2
so let me in your heart x4
You know that I can find you
you know that I will
You know that I can give
I can give you anything
You know that I can find you x4

PLUIE ET LUMIÈRE

C est là en plein cœur de l’orage qu’Elle surgit là
C’est depuis le fond de moi qu’elle me foudroie
Elle surgit là, quelque part ....

Ces nouvelles montagnes à grimper ....
Je me retourne une dernière fois vers ce monde,
ce bout de moi que je vais laisser,
Seule une partie va me rester.
Je regarde l’autre se détacher,
Je n’ai pas le choix, je dois avancer:
A cette main du destin, je ne peux résister.
Une nouvelle partie va se rejouer
Est-ce à prendre ou à laisser?
Vais-je partir vers ces contrées insoupçonnées?
Les dés de ma vie ont été relancés
Vais-je la même rester?
Tout vient de se bouleverser
Toutes les pages de ma vie se sont retournées
Tout a été redistribué .… pour tout recommencer
Tel un phœnix je renais de mes cendres.
Je ne peux plus prétendre…

Je regarde une dernière fois tout autour de moi .…
Et je fais alors le premier pas.

Et même si la pluie ne cesse pas
C’est une autre histoire qui commence pour moi
Elle surgit là, elle surgit là ….

RAIN AND LIGHT

It is there in the heart of the thunderstorm that it arises there
It’s from deep inside that it strikes me down
it appears there, somewhere ....

These new mountains to climb .…
I return one last time to this world,
this piece of me that I am going to leave behind,
Only part will remain with me.
I watch the other one break away,
I have no choice, I must move forward:
I cannot resist this hand of fate.
A new game will be played again
Take it or leave it?
Will I leave for these unsuspected lands?
The dices of my life have been rolled again
Will I stay the same?
Everything has just turned upside down
All the pages of my life have turned over
Everything was redistributed…to start all over again
Like a phoenix I am reborn from my ashes
I can no longer pretend ....

I look around me one last time ....
And then I take the first step.

And even though the rain doesn't stop
This is another story that begins for me
It arises there, it arises there ....

Pluie Et Lumière .... With DelhyA

Is the circle about to close again?

We can all, with a little study of the history of our planet, see how every few million years there comes a catastrophe that brings extinction to most of the things that live on the planet.

Has humanity, through its clueless behavior and actions, despite our enormously short time here, accelerated the event horizon to such an extent that we are now seeing the beginning of another global transformation, for better or for worse?

And what would possibly survive such, and perhaps be able to start a new cycle of development?
We feel that this question is actually relevant. What do you think?

Slowly Time Running Out

A clear black light has painted out the stars tonight.
A tear-prismed rainbow wells in my eyes.
I’m clinging to my dead rose,
Shuffling down these broken roads,
With no end in sight, no will left to fight.

A long black cloud veiled through the moonlight, where,
The softest requiem prayer is lost in the air.
As a spadeful of dirt,
Hits the casket of hurt,
To bury my cares and inter our despair.

When the sands of time are shifting no more,
I’ll stand behind, with those left on the shore.
And as Jerusalem compels
Peals of leather muffled bells
Will chill to the core with their funereal score.

In the evening, I often take a seat at the piano and give free rein to my improvisation. Luckily, I took a picture this time and I'm happy to share it with you.

Am Abend nehme ich häufig am Klavier Platz und lasse meiner Improvisation freien Lauf. Glücklicherweise habe ich diesmal eine Aufnahme gemacht und freue mich, diese mit euch zu teilen.
