Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- https://soundcloud.com/ruizzoidman21centurions --Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass

This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by E Ruizzo:

TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG

Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...

Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.

E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.

Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

Tu Nombre Tiene La Canción (with The Eclectic Collective)

To our ancestors, the cross-quarter time between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox marked the cosmic beginning of spring. They innately understood how the season was created and timed by the earth's elliptical journey around the sun. They called this phenomenon Imbolg (also Imbolc), deriving from an older vernacular of Irish (Gaelic) it refers to "in the belly", a reference to the swollen bellies of ewes with lambs soon to be born.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world

Activated citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

Radicalized citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only that ever has

Agitate and always agitated

Take rights don’t ask

Those with power don’t pass

Activated citizens change the world
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has

INSOMNIA by NOVA J

(Oooh oooh Sleep)
You can’t wake up from

Why’s my mind playing tricks on me tonight?
Got heavy eyes but I’m wide awake and I
Just wanna sleep, just wanna stop
This anxiety I’ve got.
I’m overthinking. (Yeah) I’m overthinking.

About you,
About us,
About my stupid luck—
I’m still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (still)
Awake 

Insomnia
Wish I had some
Marijuana 
Can’t stop replaying all the
Drama
In my head I’ve got
Insomnia
Oh, Insomnia
Feel like screaming
But I just lie
Daydreaming
Eyes wide open
Heart still beating
I’ve got…
Insomnia

Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh

Past mistakes and future fears,
Playing loud between my ears.
Scroll my phone, no end in sight,
It’s 3AM and now it’s 5—
Oh God, I’m dreading the sunlight

Close my eyes,
But then I see
All that terrifies 
In front of me.
I’m still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (awake)
Still (still)
Awake

Insomnia
Wish I had some
Marijuana
Can’t stop replaying all the
Drama
In my head I’ve got
Insomnia
Oh, Insomnia
Someone please
Put me to sleep,
Or maybe just
Some ketamine—
Knock me out
Or set me free
From
Insomnia
Insomnia…
Insomnia…
insomnia
Insomnia…
Insomnia…
(insomnia)

INSOMNIA

Lyrics:

You only fear
What doesn’t speak. 
But silence cuts
A little deep.

They call me quiet,
Like that makes me safe. 
But wolves don’t growl
When giving chase. 

I’m the quiet kid,
I don’t get loud,
I don’t forget, ah
I get even. 

I’m the quiet kid,
I don’t forget,
I don’t get loud,
I get revenge. 

You can't help me
Don't even try
If you cross me
You'll be first to die.

You like to play
When you think you’ve won.
But I’m the game
You didn’t know you were in. 

You talk in circles,
I draw lines.
You waste your breath,
I bide my time. 

Oh, I'm the quiet kid.
Oh, I'll get so so even.
Oh, I compared notes,
Now die.

I’m the quiet kid,
I don’t forget,
I don’t get loud,
I don't get even.

I get revenge.

Quiet Kid

“Love Like a Landslide” is a hauntingly poetic journey through a relationship marked by beauty, danger, and emotional collapse. With vivid imagery and raw vulnerability, the song explores how love can feel like both sanctuary and destruction—graceful on the surface, but unstable underneath. From whispered secrets to seismic heartbreak, it’s a soulful reckoning with loss, resilience, and rebuilding in the aftermath of emotional ruin.

Love Like a Landslide 

VERSE 1

I traced your fault lines, baby,
Like they were poems on your skin
Should've known they weren’t just stories—
They were where the cracks begin
You held me like a secret
Too dangerous to keep
And I stayed like some fool lover
Half in ruin, half asleep

CHORUS

Ceilings caving gently
Floor’s got no more grace
Gravity’s your weapon
And I wore it like lace

---

VERSE 2

Your silence sang like thunder
But I kissed it like a prayer
Ignored the pressure droppin’
Just happy you were there
Built my heart from broken fences
You slipped in without a sound
Now I’m diggin’ through the pieces
Of the girl you let fall down

CHORUS

The maps, they don't mean nothin’
When the roads all shift and slide
Your chaos is my compass
And I let it be my guide


BRIDGE

There's lipstick on the mirror
And the glass cuts like the truth
But in those shattered corners
I still find a bit of youth
See, wreckage ain’t just ending
Sometimes, it clears the way
I drowned in your disaster
But I breathe just fine today

---

OUTRO

I still feel your tremors, love
In every street I roam
But I danced through your disaster
And I built myself a home
I’m not alone
Not ever alone again

Love Like a Landslide

A rare happier song of mine. I started writing this a few years back after I gained the strength to leave someone who had picked apart my personality, belittled me and saw themselves as above me and worthy of being chased. I spent lots of time during this relationship studying the way they were and why they did what they did and when I gained enough knowledge and left, all I had was pity for an insecure person. This song was a big time healer for me.

If anyone could help me clarify the genre of this song I'd really appreciate it :) 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A fine line breaks whenever you try to play your mind games
Spinning around without direction, I can't take a tour in your small brains
So I close my eyes and phase out every hilarious typical phrase
Leave every human claiming they're wise surprised

You had your way, you picked me apart and kept me in chains
Begging to let me outside of my headaches
If you can't agree with me once
Interrupting all I want to say
Well, I'm better off someone who got away

I will lay cards and you can break the table
It's funny how you act now I've got the odds in my favour
I can break the chains off and you can be the chaser
It's funny how you act now I've got the odds in my favour

I dance by the window 
Away from my telephone 
All your fussing put to one side
Buzzing under my pillow 
Now I'm over my mistake
I do what I want, I say what I like
Whatever keeps your kind of people from mine

I will lay cards and you can break the table
It's funny how you act now I've got the odds in my favour
I can break the chains off and you can be the chaser
It's funny how you act now I've got the odds in my favour

And time did tell you didn't mean well
You can't accept when you're wrong 
And you can't handle that I'm tired of your love bombs
You narcissistic, self-addicted king of the pride
I bet your prey feel wonderful before the bite 

You poor, sweet, pitiable beast 
Feasting on the wrong side of somebody
But I no longer have the patience
Gather your flock and pick your supply 
But you'll satisfy no appetite on someone like me

I will lay cards and you can break the table
It's funny how you act now I've got the odds in my favour
I can break the chains off and you can be the chaser
Don't try to play with me, you're just not as good a gamer

Break The Table

#alternative #womanartist #songwriter #lyricist #love #lost #lovesong

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
Gone 
Forever…

I held on to you
So tight 
(To you)
So tight
(To you)
That the blood flooded your pretty face
I held on so hard so hard (to you)
To you
Turning you into a deep crimson red
Rich and dark
But 
You quickly turned into vinegar
Bitter and sharp
So now I must release you 
I release you (release you)
and you fade (you fade) away
Away
Away

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Moments flood me
memories of goodbyes
Coming back again
And again 
Goodbyes
Goodbyes
If I could only get (just get)
Just for a peek backward
But you’re never there
Never there

Gone forever
Forever in my heart

Gone forever
Forever in my heart
Forever in my heart
Gone 
Forever…

fade away

Bealtaine is one of the four major Irish Celtic annual festivals along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasa. It signifies the return of the light and widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man, 
Although May was heralded with joy, an element of the magical lay behind the merriments, with protection against unseen forces given an urgency at this time.
There were curious beliefs around housework in May. It was considered unlucky to dust the house and believed unlucky to get married in May. It was considered unlucky to dig, bathe, whitewash or sail on May Day. Not hearing the cuckoo in the month of May meant certain death for the non-hearer!
 In Ireland, a tree or bush was decorated with ribbons or shells near an individual house. It was usually white thorn, the most potent of faery trees which flowers in May, which paradoxically is considered very unlucky if brought indoors. A green bough hung over the door, woven from sycamore, was also believed to bring good luck.

The title comes from a famous Irish poem from the 18th century . Cill Chais By Aodhagán Ó Rathaille ,It is a lament on the loss of land ,love and freedom , yet the last line ,this title ,gives a hope for the future ,a wish for a different outcome ,  a wonderful weapon to combat such adversity ,something that is still so important today .

Here's a link to the poem in Irish and English and a guide to some background .

Respect is something earned
Not given
Live and learn 
Stop tripping 
What would your mama say, huh?
Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?
the same thing you are living your life for
would you be willing to die for?
do you have it in you to try more?

——

how should I start this? 
well first I'm a lifelong artist 
who obviously ain't the smartest about it 
I'm honest at least though 
lots of cats out here are high on thy ego 
second I'm a simple man I see y'all as equals 
each an individual and all y'all my peoples 
free will is principle three because we hold 
the potential to know things if only we could bring ourselves to think 
and let's see what number four is 
I don't know - please I just came here to flow 
not to talk about me - let's go 
should I talk about you? I don't know 
spark of genius the gears they’re a’turning
my mind’s a machine which appears to be working 
if I am to get anywhere near where I am destined to go
then one thing is for certain
it’s all up to me the one and only person
upon whom my future depends this is perfect
because no one other than I and I 
will share the same primary concern kid
as the center of my inner circle
I understand the importance of my purpose
a controversial public service
should I do some soul searching?

Respect is something earned

Just gotta keep it real
How ya living?
the same thing you are living your life for

——

speaking to the people them ain't keeping any secrets 
I'm just reaching to achieve something that no one can believe 
I can feel it in the deepest of depths of my spirit 
I'm frequently thinking out loud you can hear it you can see 
make nothing but progress follow my own lead 
acquiring knowledge fulfilling my needs 
I either win or I learn - because I take the time to read between the lines indeed 
speaking to the people them I keep on sending messages 
no secret it's intended for the people them so let's begin 
again enter the next dimension with the way that I get it in 
the people them they digging it the wickedness 
if this isn't enough then stay tuned to bear witness when 
whatever turn of events it is that will happen hits 
the rhythm of life
this is it
time space continuum type
