Why the AI Race - What If We Don't Like The Mirror (a That's Bizzare Touch)

Goodbye Charlie (You Make Heaven Crowded)

Lyrics/Vocals/Guitar- Eileen 

Like a Shining Star 

Trying to make it through the night
when fears are awake
It’s getting late 
Emotions like a midnight spell
in the night where shadows dwell
Trying to make it through 
when silence is harsh 

Like a shining star
out in space you came in my dream
You are my dream within a dream 

Oh The wind is picking up here
Can’t you see
The wind is picking up here
Trying to make it through 
Through the night and into the day

Oh The wind is picking up here
Can’t you see
The wind is picking up here
Trying to make it through 
Through the night and into the day
Into the day 

Morning breaks
shadows fade
Dreams cascade
In the light where reality gleams
A distant dream or so it seems

Like a shining star
out in space you came in my dream
You are my dream within a dream 

Oh the wind is picking up here 
Can’t you see 
The wind is picking up here
Trying to make it through 
Through the night into the day 

Oh the wind is picking up here 
Can’t you see 
The wind is picking up here
Trying to make it through 
Through the night and into the day
Into the day 

Like a shining star
out in space you came in my dream
You are my dream within a dream 

Oh the wind is picking up here 
Can’t you see 
The wind is picking up here
Trying to make it through 
Through the night and into the day

Well, the Wind is picking up here
Can’t you see 
The wind is picking up here
The wind is picking up here 
In this place 
Trying to make it through 
the night 
And into 
The day

©️ Lyrics - Eileen van der Schyff 2023

Like a Shining Star ✨is a song about finding light in the dark. At its core, it’s about navigating fear, uncertainty, and inner shadows, while being guided by something  that feels luminous, safe, and sustaining, like a shining star. Through fear, uncertainty, and shadowed nights, a guiding presence, like a shining star, appears in dreams, helping to navigate the unknown. It’s about holding onto hope, moving through the night, and stepping into clarity and light. The song is a poetic meditation on finding hope and guidance during dark, uncertain times, holding onto that light (the shining star) while moving toward clarity and healing.

A Funky Love Cruise Vol 6 — What is Black Music? The Natural Law

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Collings mandolin
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

True Red Devil (Eclectic Collective)
