mit so wenig ein so tolles Stück zu machen - gratuliere. Tolles Gitarrenspiel, schöner Text!

Music makes you feel the emotion very well..

These are so good, Hans. And so well made. I still am undecided about AI... there is so much to think about. But you use it so musically, emotionally, excellently well.

73_ Waiting in Berlin-Tegel in Snow - released on 08 January 2025 only on Soundcloud

It's evening, I'm waiting for the train again and it's snowing in big, thick flakes. The snow flurries with their dancing flakes immediately conjure up music in my head. And this is how it turned out! #minimal #electronic #liverecording

This song began with Stephen, who recorded it on his acoustic guitar and bass to a programmed drum track a few months ago. We were all thrilled to work on it, even though it sat in BandLab as a project for almost a month before Stephen separated the tracks, thus allowing us to trickle in our parts. JJ was first to jump on it, because he could before the tracks were separated, as his part is completely his idea. He added the organ that really set up the entire sound of both dominant sections of the song. 
  Ken was first up to the project once the tracks were replaceable, making the wild, driving beat his own. Inspired by both JPJ and Michael Ivins, Josh laid down his bass line, trying to match Ken's energy. Last, but not least, Mark jumped in with the rumbling timpani. He also added the flavorful harmonica, and unique jaw harp you hear throughout, as well. Finally, Stephen also got the idea to add the hambone percussion at the very end of the song, which we all consider a treat, and after showing us how it's done, Mark volunteered his percussion skills to give it a go. Stephen wasn't done, though, and still had some magic to sprinkle. He went in and added the howling electric guitar you hear prominently in the second main section. Also, he added the tempting intro with his acoustic guitar and electric mandolin. 
  Once it was in the bag, we thought it appropriate for our master mixer Stephen to put it to bed, which he did in his always expert manner. 
  This is a gift from Stephen to all of us, and you, too. It took a lot of teamwork to make the dream work, as always for Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Here's an isolated track of just the hambone bit at the very end of the song (thanks for showing us this technique Stephen!):

This song began when Jonathan wrote it on his acoustic guitar several months ago with the intention of developing it into a larger song. When Josh approached him about doing a collaboration, Jonathan thought this one would fit the bill. I should say at this point how much we all admire Jonathan and enjoy his music, and recommend you go hop on his page and check it out. 
  All that to explain the level of excitement that ran through Eclectic Collective when Josh shared the project with the group. Chris was first to jump on it, coming up with his intricate bass line even before Ken added his moving drums, although they went back and forth a couple of times to create the rhythm section. Josh jumped on right after that part was complete, adding his mandolin and piano to the mix. Steven was next up, adding his down n' dirty slide throughout. Last, but certainly not least, Mark came up with the driving harmonica and twangy jaw harp, and some fiddle samples he snipped together from loops, sprinkling these throughout to complete the instruments. 
  At this point, we had a pretty good instrumental song on our hands. However, Chris decided to give it the extra kick by adding the vocals, the lyrics for which he wrote himself. Our multitalented drummer, Ken, added the additional high vocal harmonies, too.
  Now that it was in the bag, we needed some production for it. So, we turned to Stephen, who mixed and mastered it in his always expert fashion. 
  This song was a real treat for everyone in the band. We are all very grateful to Jonathan for sharing this song with us, and had a wonderful time helping bring it to life. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by cgmaness:

Come on now let's break a leg,
We've got it made in the shade
One more day, go out and play
I guarantee we've got it made
Oh, we've got it made
Happy to be with my friends today
Fill up your drink whatever it may take
I guarantee we've got it made
~chatter~
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change
That's what I claim
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made
We got it made in the shade
Can't you see we got it made?
Oh, we've got it made
Happy to be with my friends today
Fill up your drink whatever it may take
Can you believe that we've got it made?
Come on now let's shake a leg
We've got it made in the shade
Don't need a reason,
Or wait for the seasons to change
That's what I claim
Go out on this limb with me,
And realize, we've got it made.

We've Got It Made (The Eclectic Collective - feat. Jonathan Beckenstein)

This is an original song I recorded some years ago that describes the transition when seeing your son come of age as you (the parent) has to let go and adjust to a changed role in his life. Some regrets occur, thinking that the time to do certain things with your child has come and gone, perhaps you could/should have done more.
This was recorded back when I wrote it, so my recording techniques were not very advanced and I lost the master, left with just an MP3. I want to thank Nat Daniels and her production skills for helping make the most of improving the sound, although there was only limited opportunity to undo all its flaws. She also added some lovely piano parts to help replace many of my original xylophone parts which had faded considerably. Despite the rough quality, I hope the sentiment conveys. (note: Neddu was a nickname my son was given during his infancy which should help explain the lyrics)

Lyrics:  Written by Craig Durgy
You won’t need me as you walk out that door
These eighteen years were what a father’s for
But change is not an ending
You know that I’ll be sending my love

Can’t help but feel regrets, a childhood's gone
Lost chances sometimes hit as you move on
I guess that it’s just me though, 
It was just meant to be, so go
And I’ll watch Neddu grow

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

That day you ran out in the pouring rain
And dashed head first to surf those flooded drains
The raging storm soon hid you
I wondered Ned where did you go

And still a glimpse of all our backyard games
Now all your friends converge, just not the same
I stand here washing dishes, a man here watching wishes blow
Away as Neddu grows

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

Watching My Son Grow

lyrics Google translation:

We had sworn so much to each other
A lifetime divided by two
We won and lost
And didn't think much of it

We didn't need to pretend
We were fine the way we were
We swam with and against the waves
And danced with the strongest wind

Our dreams were like journeys
They carried us wherever we went
We never rode on fixed tracks
We preferred to drift

Where is that from?
How far away?
So strange and yet
You look at me
And whisper softly:
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

We were free to pursue all goals
And wandered aimlessly through the world
We had thousands of feelings
And each one counted for its own

We danced through life night after night
Slept through the time for days
What didn't work out just went wrong
We didn't regret any of it

We didn't understand some things
We never thought long about it
We never reached for the stars
We just lived

Where did that come from?
How far away?
So strange and yet
You look at me
And whisper softly:
Do you remember?
Where did that go?
It all fell into a deep hole
We look at each other
And both think
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
We look at each other
And both think
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Weißt du noch?

Chapter nine - Somewhere Quiet

no, I’m not an AI enthusiast, but I use AI as a singer I've been looking for all my life. I'm a guitarist and, in my spare time, a passionate songwriter and producer from hamburg, germany.
this page is a place to share some german lyrics written by me over the past few decades and sung by virtual vocalists from  suno 4.0 and, more recently, suno 4.5+. these are based on my compositions, pre-recorded backing tracks and 'prompts' to help the machine get half way close to my imagination.
thank you for listening, and for your indulgence with regard to the literal translations, which prove that there is a fine line between translation and interpretation...
