to the one i love

You always meant to
Put things right
You always meant to
Make amends
Twas your intent
Someday it's right
No argument
We'll still be friends

Now we've gone too far down that road
We've lost sight of the way
Erosion wears down the biggest stone
Leaves little left to say

I alway meant to
Do what's right
To be the one
To count on
Lose the need for
Fight or flight
Opportunity's gone

I Always Meant to

Lyrics:

Smokin' around the Christmas tree
It's a Christmas coughity cough
Mistletoe hung where you can see
That smoke begin to lift off
Smokin' around the Christmas tree
Ohhh let that spirit ring
Later I'll have some ham and pie and cough up everything!

You will get a detrimental feeling when you hear
Coughing, hacking, choking by the tree
Sounds like Krampus is croaking

Smokin around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
I look right behind there's a fiery heat
It's a Cigarette Christmas doomsday

Smokin around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
I look right behind there's a fiery heat 
It's a cigarette Christmas doomsday!

You will get a detrimental feeling when you hear
Coughing, hacking, choking by the tree
Sounds like Krampus is croaking

Smokin' around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
Giving my lungs a jolly puff In the New old fashioned way

Smokin' Around The Christmas Tree (Bubba Bronchitis Bill)

Cast of Eclectic Collective Characters:
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth, and composition
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—synth effects, synth strings and flute, lyrics, and vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric and acoustic guitars, production, and mix
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four-string Fender P bass

  This is a song that JJ created late one Saturday night on the piano, drums, bass, and guitar. You can hear his Grateful Dead influence if you're familiar with the band. He then presented it to the rest of the Eclectic Collective so we could do our thing with it. I replaced JJ's rough bass with my interpretation of the line as soon as Ken replaced the drums with his interpretation of the beat. Interestingly, Ravel's Bolero had a lot to do with the inspiration for the second part of the song. After the rhythm section was done, we turned it over to Stephen, who came up with some really subtle, yet very necessary guitar lines. 
  We then turned it over to our relatively new collaborator, Mark, who came up with the lyrics and vocals. He was also instrumental in getting the arrangement to fit right with the vocals. This is a lyrical and vocal songwriting debut for Mark, who was inspired by his very first listen to JJ's rough draft. Thus, this song is extra special for him.  
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did creating it.
  Mark's lyrics are about our Earthly relatives in the far distant future. At that point life on earth would have just about reached its limits, and so mankind embarks on a journey through space to find another place to call home.
Lyrics:
Part 1:
All you know, all you love is here today
Feel the sun, see the flowers embrace her rays
And you know, all we have must fade away
And now its time to go… away…

Part 2:
Here we are, flying high, flying high above the moons of Mars
And beyond another sunrise greets a world once again,
a million miles from where we are
To embrace the flowers of Jupiter, once again…

On and on we sail away, searching for another day,
the universe an endless sea
And you know that somewhere out there,
a brand new world, for you and me….

Flowers of Jupiter (Eclectic Collective)

I wrote another Holiday song...

The lights are on the tree
You brought the decorations down
The candles flicker in the breeze
It's calm and peaceful all around 

It was cold here in this place
But you got the  fire going 
And it warms my hands and face 
You made this  feel like home

and I know that things were bad
But they'll be better now you'll see
This is going to be our year
This year was made for you and me

When i look back upon this year  
On all these mem’ries made together
And the love we always shared
That i knew would last forever

Now i don’t know how things would be
If i woke up to find you gone
You are everything to me  
I ‘d never make it on my own

And I feel it in my heart
Things are better now you’ll see
This is gonna be our year
AndI’m so glad you’re here with me

This is gonna be our year
This year was made for you and me

Keith had a gentle guitar phrase and  a few words that he was playing with and shuffled it over to me for a listen to see what I made of it. The result is the song below. The conflict is in the spirituality represented by the sparks on a fire ascending, and the observation that the embers twinkle, fade and fall, silent. What is it all about if the prayers, meditations and positive thoughts just fall back to earth like the sparks? The beliefs we embrace must hit the road of reality. If they measure up to good - wonderful! But if not? The supreme irony for me is watching kids being taught to hate in a religious school class.  I was going to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to set up the point of contrast (But you can't..."). Instead, Keith preferred the AND ("And you can't...") as, in addition to all that one CAN believe, you must be aware that other things follow too. Can And Cannot. So simple. Or is it?
Free D/L - Track 9 of the new album Hold On To Someone : https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

Lyrics:
We seem to want to find
A spiritual connection to space and time
An affinity for infinity and the great beyond
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence, fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

It's the lack of definition of in the twilight hours
That makes it so difficult to find our way
Past all the claims and assertions of things that cannot be proven
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

Marc and I worked together off and on over the years. This photo is from 2005. Tragically Marc was taken from us way too early. Earlier this year Susa managed to get files extracted from his recording system and I've managed to find 3 completed recordings. This one I think is the last one he completed (Blue Sky Paradise) which possibly alludes to where we live (Whakatu-Nelson Aotearoa-NZ). Sure is a graceful beautiful song. Marc wrote recorded and performed everything here.

Who could blame them for being giddy?  They finally had him….got the mugshot, and in a few months he’d be tried & convicted, and best of all, out of their way for good.  Some may question their motives & methods, but hey, it was up to them to save democracy, right?  
******************* 
For this one, I rounded up my fantasy band, the Famous Texas Men Of Note, to perform at the imaginary Seven Sisters Dance Hall, some 40 miles west of Austin, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  The crowd wasn’t huge that night, but it was plenty raucous.  Needless to say, we brought the house down.  We always do.

LYRICS
Finally bagged the prize,
Event commemorated with a photograph,
A delightful list of crimes,
Got ‘em prancin’ with the lawyers down the primrose path,
The scribes down in the court,
Breathlessly report,
With a glee they can’t contain,

Oh they’re giddy….

Giddy like the rats that swarm the sewage slag,
Giddy like the vultures, feasting on the rotted culture,
That has spawned them from its womb,
And they tell us all how grateful we should be,
Cause they’re doing it to save democracy.
 
Yeah all fortitude & grit,
Our protectors wouldn’t quit,
On this noble quest,
There would be no rest,
Staged sudden raids, drew dossiers,
Tried Russian links, threw kitchen sinks,
To cage the dreaded pest,
Damn the proper form,
They’ve snared Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,

And now they’re giddy…..

Giddy like the buzzards circling o’er their prey,
Giddy like the varmints, chewing on the hated target,
While the judges hold him still,
Giddy like the frantic hawks, flailing with their shrilly squawks,
The fear they just can’t kill,
Damn the coming storm,
Now they’ve booked Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,
Hey, the law may be applied unequally,
But it’s the only way to save democracy.

I beg you Lovely Lady, turn your head away,
Away from the shame, away from the pain,
America, America, how did we let it get this far?
We are your sons, what have we done?
What have we done……….

Ah but giddy doesn’t last, when the vengeance & the wrath,
Shred the piers that bear the load,
No it won’t be so hysterical, when even Heaven’s miracle,
Can’t keep our father’s code, 

Oh but decision day is nigh, & the beast is still alive,
And far too many still believe…..

So arrest the Monster!...show it on TV,
Silence him & anyone who won’t concede,
There’s no time for constitutionality,
When the mission is to save democracy.

Giddy (now with lyrics)

First, i wish you all a Sparkling & Hopefully Happy 2024 !

I hope you will enjoy the swirling sounds & rythems of this tranced out piece !

Have a great listen or whatever you do !

Peace,

First Pythyrsus song of this year with Mesmo :
https://soundcloud.com/mesmo1

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

La vacuité du sens
Sans raison d'être
Flirtant avec le suicide
Érémitisme hygiénique
Branlette et développement personnel
Durable au blé
Le sensationnel usé jusqu'au lien
Puis se tromper pour exister
Et sourire aux esclaves
Connecteurs en condiments
Car...
Le silence impossible
Sauf au social
Sauf à ton père
À ma barre à mine dans

Hecame - Pythyrsus

In a book and several widely read newspaper articles, the English journalist David Goodhart has identified a new cause for the vicious populism of our time. Le Pen, Brexit, Trump, the online hate culture - according to Goodhart, two new "meta-classes" (the "Anywheres" and the "Somewheres") have emerged in the global world, two completely different ways of living and feeling. According to Goodhart, these separate cultures are now competing against each other in a kind of new world culture war.

The picture shows: an altered extract from a photo somewhere out of the net

Somewhere, 3:33 am


Anyone awake again…? 
Now, 3:33 am…?

I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

And I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

You were somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere, no

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

I was just looking… 
And I was gazing
I was just freezing
While I was listening
And I was just looking
(For an answer
Of any kind)

You sang somewhere, out there
You were no anywhere, no
You were a somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
(To find)

Somewhere, 3:33 am

Lyrics & Vocal: Janne Hennie

Thank you so much for the great music PAPLOVIANTE!  😊

Lyrics:

Has avoided you for a long time
Haven't called you or seen your face

Wonder why
You caused me so much pain?
Made me constantly in the rain...
You took the sun away from me
Created clouds
Dark and grey..

You made me beg
Crawl on my knees
In a place it was hard to be...

I was stuck in a cave
With the dark clouds 
Over my head...
On the way out i stumbled and fell
Got dirt and wounds all over me...

Ohh, I cut you loose
Managed to break free
Swept off the dirt
And licked my wounds

But i have scars
In my soul
Why did you cause so much pain in me?

Why?
Why?
Why?

Why   (Collab with PAPLOVIANTE and Friends)

Thank you for listening.

Lyrics:

It was just yesterday
I felt you dance across my grave
Sent shivers …right down my spine
Made me remember the night we shared
Lilac wine ….
On the beach forever

If you call out my name
Will it be the same as yesterday
Coz those days,
Those hazy days are gone
If I call out your name
Will it be the same as yesterday
But those days
Those crazy days are gone

Was it so long ago I stood beside u on the shore,
You’d throw a stone and hide your hand
Sent ripples, through water clear
Across the ocean
And then the way you looked at me
Knife cut me open

Chorus x2

I miss those days
I miss those hazy days
I miss those days
I miss those hazy days with you
I miss those crazy days with you
Do you remember
Sent shivers right down my spine …. So here’s the lyrics

Knife (Hobocop x purpleclaire)

Cast of characters:
The Mysterious Decibel -- @themysteriousdecibel – MD – First vocals and lyrics 
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition, production, and mix
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Electric guitar, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, lyrics, and vocals at the end
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass

This song began with Terry sharing an intriguing Eastern sounding synth and minimal beat with Ken, who added a really solid beat to bring out the strong rhythm of the song. Once they had a solid foundation and skeleton, they shared it with the rest of the Eclectic Collective. Josh added his five string fretless bass in a dubby line that was inspired by Tez's hot skank part. Then JJ poured his magic into it, too. Stephen came up with the shocking dynamic lift towards the end, and Tez piled on to light it up. Then MD got a hold of it and wrote and sang some of his trademark, fun lyrics and vocals in the first part of the song. Ken, not to be left out of the melodic experience, added the vocals at the end. 
  After we all had everything in the can, the Texas Tea combo of Stephen and Terry produced and mixed the whole thing down. This wasn't their first rodeo mixing a project together, and it really shows in the end quality. They also have several duo projects up on both of their pages that are worth checking out.  
  We think the end result is reminiscent of Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation, two big influences on a few of us. We all hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by MD:
Time again and on, and on, and on, we fall in slumber
Dreams never wait
Ashes to ashes we all fall down 
Ooooo Circles break
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
When we wake
When we wake
Is this a new Simulation?
When I wake
When I wake

Lyrics by Ken:
Feed the fire or the fire flames out
