BLUE MONDAY

Sunday night the tension is more than I can bare
Time moves slowly as I count down the hours
A load off of me as I walk out the door
This ain’t no 
This ain’t no 
This aint no blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Just live the life you need

Thursday night pressure’s low I’m breathing again
Time is moving why can’t I just press pause 
I’m comin home, I’m putting my helmet on 
This ain’t no
This ain’t no
This ain’t no blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Just live the life you need

Oh, I'm a ghost, oh, you the most
Oh, I want a Blue Monday
Oh, just give me a Blue Monday

Oh, I'm a freak, oh you're disease
Just give me a blue Monday 

Just give me a blue Monday
Just give me one
Just give me one
Just give me one blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Live the life you need

Blue Monday

Blue Monday | Stone catcherye & TheGat(s)

It's been a while since I posted my latest track, which in fact dated back to 20 years ago. I've been struggling with several issues, and sadly I haven't had many chances to record any new stuff, these latest months or years. This time I won't say things are going to get better in future, because I'm not so sure they will; still I really hope so.
This piece is about spiritual dawning.

I Feel It Now

Turn It Around

Francesco Adornetto & Ara_Piano - Fragments Of A Dream (G min 81 bpm)

A dreamlike journey through nature and melody, where fleeting fragments of memory and music intertwine in ethereal harmony.

The artwork for Fragments of a Dream transports the viewer into a dreamlike realm rich with symbols and metaphors. 
The visual composition intertwines natural and imaginary elements, such as butterflies, mushrooms, autumn leaves, and a vibrantly colored bird. At its center, a stylized piano, adorned with intricate patterns, represents the intimacy and artistry of music—a space where dreams and reality converge.

The blue butterfly symbolizes transformation and the weightlessness of a dream, while the leaves and mushrooms evoke the cyclical nature of life, reflecting the fleeting, impermanent fragments of dreamlike memories. The bird, with its vivid presence, embodies freedom and melody, suggesting that music transcends the boundaries of the real world.

The entire collage feels like an invitation to an imaginary garden, where every element tells a fragmented story, like torn pages from a dream journal. Francesco Adornetto & Ara_piano’s composition weaves these fragments together, transforming them into a delicate and evocative sonic narrative. 
The title, Fragments of a Dream, suggests that what remains of the dream is as beautiful as it is elusive, like a memory dissolving upon waking.

Come Home



[Verse 1]
They’ve tried for years to box us in, 
To make us all the same
Yet we’ll look for common ground
Ain’t pieces of their game

[Verse 2]
Different stories, different past 
We all rise as one
No beauty in a mirror
When the glass is numb

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh - oh, feel the rhythm, feel the unity
Oh - oh different sparks, but watch em rise

[Chorus]
We shine through shade, every shape, every name
A masterpiece in motion, 
never meant to be the same
We have the art to illuminate 
Beauty in diversity

We elevate 

[Verse 4]
Diversity and colour
If we all thought alike
Rather blend our voices strong
A screen of unity

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, feel the rhythm, feel the vibe
Oh-oh, different sparks but watch them rise

[Bridge]
Look around, can’t you see
We’re a wave, we’re a sea
Every difference, every hue
We’re beautiful individuals

[Chorus]
We share our praise 
A masterpiece in motion, 
Our batteries full, we illuminate 
Beauty in diversity
Yea that’s how we elevate 

[verse]
We are beauty, shine as one
We are diversity - the power of choice
We’re beauty in diversity,
Beauty in diversity 

[Outro]
Beauty in diversity 
One voice one sound
Beautiful diversity 

Self worth
Stand proud


Beauty in Diversity

Sehnsucht is a felt piano meditation on longing and introspection. Soft, resonant tones weave a delicate narrative of nostalgia and hope. Each note lingers in quiet reverie, echoing the depth of unspoken emotions. A journey through solitude, memory, and endless yearning.

🎹 Piano: Francesco Adornetto

Sehnsucht

Thank you to all of you who stopped and listened to this track.
We cannot see it with our eyes, but we know that we are walking toward the future before us!
We are being guided by something. An invisible force.
Since time immemorial, haven't people dreamed of connecting with the universe, leaving Earth, and traveling into space?
Nowadays, interest in other planets has increased, and in many news stories, we see the existence of unidentified flying objects.
What did the astronauts feel when they left Earth?
What awaits us in the future we seek?

The Still Vast Unknown

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and listened to this track. 
Thank you for your time.People seek warmth and love in their homes.
Quiet, flowing spaces, glamorous family rooms, and all kinds of home shapes. Even if we are lonely at times, we all have our own important personal spaces.
Just because you are alone does not mean you are living in loneliness. Even the light of a single candle gives different warmth to different people.
How do we measure wealth? People who have no gaps in their hearts feel rich.

Silenced Home

Stop n Think

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, Sigma acoustic guitar, PRS SE semi hollow body guitar, composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – VST horns - trumpet, bone, & sax, latin drum ensemble, and editing production
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Production, mix, and mastering

This song began in the dead of winter on a cold night with Josh sitting in his studio with his acoustic guitar playing along to a looper beat. He loves Bossa Nova music and wanted to write a song in that style. Of course, he wrote it with the Eclectic Collective in mind.
Josh also came up with the bass line to the looper, but changed it once Ken weighed in with his perfectly suited drum kit. Ken also added the solid percussion keeping things tight. Then JJ got involved and laid down that wonderfully melodic organ part you hear in there. Josh, having not laid down a lead guitar part yet, used JJ melodic idea for the first verse, too, because it's so strong. Mark was last to the table, bringing several really stunning parts that added a lot of depth to the whole thing. He's responsible for the horn arrangements that joins in from JJ's organ around the middle, those funky percussion flourishes and fills, and then creating that percussion breakdown near the end, playing everything you hear in that break. 
This is an example of Josh exploring a less typical type of music, and it being picked up on and carried through expertly as a group unit. We all love bringing in different influences in the EC, and this fit the bill. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

And here’s a short excerpt of the the rhythm section with all the percussion action more isolated:

Meet The New Bossa (The Eclectic Collective)

Cast of Chracters:
Sean Smith /|||||| Orange Paperbacks -- @the-orange-paperbacks — acoustic guitar and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-  four string fretted bass and organ
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

This song began when Sean, who is a superb writer of catchy pop songs, was inspired by the classic surfer movie, The Endless Summer. He wrote it on his acoustic guitar with a mind to sharing it with Eclectic Collective. He first shared it with Ken, who promptly provided driving drums and invited the rest of us to play on it, too. Josh hopped on first, adding his bass and completing the rhythm section.
  About this time, Tez got involved, laying down the Ventures-esque melodic electric guitar you hear throughout. Right after Tez did his thing, Stephen came along soon after and completed the lead part with his fuzzy, adventurous guitar. 
  At this point, it still felt very stringy, so Josh decided to lay down the organ part you hear in there, too. Once it was cooked, we tapped Stephen to do his expert brand of production, mix, and mastering to get it ready to serve. 
  This is the second time Ken and Josh have collaborated with Sean, the first being almost two years ago on a song called Diamond Marigold. When Sean approached Ken with a second song, not only Ken was thrilled, but Josh and the rest of the gang were, too. Sean has a lot of great, catchy, accessible music on his page that is all worth putting in your ears.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.
