Come Heavy Sleep

Crazy, To Want to Come Back, Again!
                                                 By Lynda Faye
I should be proud.....  to be on my own.
I should be  proud.  Now I'm alone.
When I think of all you gave me...
All  the pain over time and again,  
Makes me think I'd have to be crazy, to want to listen to you again.

(Two)
Now you should be proud....to see what you've done.
You should be proud, I was hurt...means that you've won.
When I think of all the times you hurt me, saying I was to blame,
Makes me think I'd have to be crazy, to want to come back , again.

(Three)
I should be proud...now that you've gone,
Now I can carry my head up high...when you're not around.
But when you find I really gave you more, than you could ever give me..
Will you be too proud and crazy, to want to come back....to me?

(Four)
You say you realize you hurt me...and you hope I'll understand,
 You know I'd have to be crazy, to want to listen to you, again;
You know I'd have to be crazy, to want to come back...again.
I GUESS I'M KIND OF CRAZY...I'm coming back...
Again!

Crazy, to Want to Come Back, Again!

So how do you know you have met the love of your life. That's so easy, they GLOW.         
The Video is here. https://youtu.be/SfiLrjwUagw?si=bqTUOt7u0_ITJdLr

GLOW

Continuing the Stardust series, with a reflective EDM/ alternative rock track.  

...Arla and the refugees arrive at their beautiful new home, with hopes for a bright new future - but is it all that it appears?...

A Place Called Home

They say money can’t buy you happiness, it’s easy to say that when you’re rich
Cause when you have no money, life can be a bitch
If someone gives you a billion dollars, you’d be willing to give it a try
Seems better to be filthy rich than a guy who’s funds are running dry

You looked at your bank account and the money was all spent
And as you poked your toe through a hole in your sock you wonder where it all went
The prices keep getting higher when you go to the grocery store
And then one day you realize that you’re one of the working poor

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal

Life keeps handing you lemons and you’re sick trying to make lemonade
And every day your enthusiasm for your job continues to fade
You tell yourself someone’s got to do the dirty work, so the sausages get made
And every day you have a new bill that that needs to be paid

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal

You’ve been working so hard but you can’t seem to get ahead
Some days you don’t even feel like getting out of bed
They say that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result
There’s days when you sit in your cubicle and you want to jump up and bolt

You feel like a hamster on a wheel
You feel like you got the raw end of the deal
The billionaires are doing perfectly okay
And you’re just treading water trying to make it through each day

They say money can’t buy you happiness, it’s easy to say that when you’re rich. 
Cause when you have no money, life can be a bitch
If someone gives you a billion dollars, you’d be willing to give it a try
Seems better to be filthy rich than a guy who’s funds are running dry

Where The Money Went

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  Josh was first up to the plate with this one, adding his deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triange dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!

*** WATCH OUT FOR NEW SOUNDTRACK RELEASE, SELENE, OUT 31st  OCTOBER!!***

What a great place Soundcloud is !  I can honestly say I never imagined there were so many talented and generous artists, composers and producers,  to be found in one place!  It's been my very great pleasure to meet and collaborate with some of you, already, out there in the WWW,  and I hope many more in the future! 

I've written and recorded music since I was a teenager  (... that's a long time ago!!) and about half the tracks posted here are purely my own work. I also experimented, for a while,  with A.I. supported music, which I used to help build up a Sci Fi "concept album" (for those that remember them!) titled "Stories of Stardust", released 26th Feb 2025.  

A.I music can be a divisive topic, but I've no wish to use it as a replacement for human musical talent, and going forward I'm back to  working  with real people again. That's where the magic is to be found!  Which brings me to....

Collab is ALWAYS welcome!!  In fact it's my favourite way to work - check out my Collabs playlist for some recent examples!  Really enjoyed working with these talented artists!!   

For me the collab journey is only just starting so please (please)  gimme a shout if you think we could work together in the future! 

cheers, and keep the music playing !!
