I like the cry for humanity in the outro, and the introspective immersion within our cultural milieu.

「秋の月見会」

内緒話　しているように
いくつもの影がほら
ひそひそと楽しそうだ

見上げた　星空
月明かりの下で揺られて

静かに浮かぶ　無数の小舟
秋の月見会

胸がときめくような夜は
そうさ　こんな夜さ


参加してる　人たちの
小舟とすれ違って
優しく挨拶するのさ

水面に浮かぶ　無数の小舟
秋の月見会

心の奥に忘れていたものは
こんな場面さ

誰もが持っている
ほんの少しの
優しさに触れてみたいな

心躍る夜



■Lyrics
"Autumn Moon Viewing Party"

Look, there are many shadows whispering and having fun

Looking up at the starry sky

Swaying under the moonlight

Countless small boats floating quietly

Autumn Moon Viewing Party

A night that makes your heart flutter

Yes, it's a night like this

Passing by the boats of the people who are participating

Greeting each other kindly

Countless small boats floating on the water

Autumn Moon Viewing Party

What I had forgotten deep in my heart

A scene like this

I want to touch the little bit of kindness that everyone has

A night that makes my heart flutter

Autumn moon viewing party(秋の月見会)

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus (X2)

Left lane right lane
No choice, when it’s all the same
Same game, no picnic 
Systems broke, they won’t fix it
Life is work, what shift is this
Just take up your lane
And mind your own business
No outlet, just gridlock and lockstep 
An influx of Notifications to obligations, not met
Forced to live your pain, then accept your death
Will anyone listen, about the changing climate 
No one hears a silence threats 
Two steps back, why the hell is that
Never really had my footing, and that’s a fact
If it’s established that’s a good thing
But how do we get there from the very beginning

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus

Living for a payday, just ain’t good business
It don’t mean wealth or riches
Equal time or payment
That one percent is ruthless, 
Gatekeepers to key places
Holding all the leverage
Been this way for ages
Maintaining just how things are
So no one cannot change it
A never ending circle of henchmen, different faces
political power to start wars
If things ——don’t go their way
That a constant state of play
Armed with well aimed projectile
That can, ruin your whole day
Make no waves, make no mistake,
We’re all in a state of play

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus

Got A Few Concepts

Paroles (this song was made en 2022):
Lorsque cette crise de la Corona sera terminée, lorsque cette pandémie sera terminée, l'humanité prendra-t-elle en compte les leçons apprises et conservera-t-elle les conséquences positives des mesures de sécurité ?
L'humanité prendra-t-elle en compte les leçons apprises et conservera-t-elle les conséquences positives des mesures de sécurité ?

Il semble que le virus ait ralenti notre monde qui devenait fou.
La Terre respire mieux et les animaux ont été préservés.

Tant d'êtres humains sont morts, c'est triste, mais qu'en sera-t-il des vivants ?

VENONS UN TEMPS NOUVEAU, VENONS UNE VIE NOUVELLE, UN MONDE NOUVEAU, POUR TOUS.

VENONS UN TEMPS NOUVEAU, VENONS UNE VIE NOUVELLE POUR LA TERRE ET LA NATURE...

La crise économique n'est pas une réponse
Les banques nationales peuvent faire plus d'argent pour l'éviter

Maintenant que toutes les nations, tous les pauvres et tous les riches sont dans le même bateau
& que même les chefs de gouvernement qui étaient sur leur tour d'ivoire
connaissent aussi la lutte pour la survie

Il ne devrait plus y avoir d'inégalités, plus de misère,
en réalité, il devrait y en avoir assez pour tous

Venons-en à une NOUVELLE HEURE, venons-en à une NOUVELLE VIE, un NOUVEAU MONDE, POUR TOUS.

VENONS UN TEMPS NOUVEAU, UNE VIE NOUVELLE, POUR LA TERRE ET LA NATURE...

Nous espérons qu'il y aura encore moins de pollution, moins de déchets, moins de stress
Nous espérons qu'il n'y aura plus de guerres, plus de solidarité et de paix partout.
Nous espérons que l'humanité restera sur la bonne voie, comme elle devrait l'être...

Venons-en à une NOUVELLE HEURE, à une NOUVELLE VIE POUR TOUS.

Do you like human music?
This is full of humanity, something you don't find in modern pop music. I made this song remembering my feelings from my childhood. And I want to prove that the old-fashioned band sound can still be used as pop music. To move your heart is my biggest goal. Please press the play button.

YOUR FLOWER IS IN THE MAGICAL WORLD

From the album "Röckers" (2024)

Lyrics:
Strangers are the most interesting people that you'll meet
Yeah, it's not the closeness
But the distance
That make people reveal themselves to you
Strangers are the most interesting people that you'll meet

Sitting in an airplane seat
Next to my ticketed passengers
Maybe it was the tight seating that created a false sense of intimacy
Maybe she was just covering up the silence
She told how she had been sick as a child
And how she always secretly blamed her mother.
Maybe she had taken comfort in an anonymous and friendly face
I've always been told I have an anonymous and friendly face

Primordial ooze climbed from the sea
Marauding villagers freak
A curated killing spree
Birds of prey stick together 
And so should we

Strangers are the most interesting people that you'll meet
They will unburden themselves to a total stranger
All their lovers
The family secrets
Anthropologists say that human beings by nature  are a trusting species
It's our shared sense of community survival
Well, I've seen a change recently
Everybody suspicious of everybody else
What have we done?
To reverse thousand of years of human evolutionary behavior?

Primordial ooze climbed from the sea
Marauding villagers freak
A curated killing spree
Birds of prey stick together 
And so should we

Strangers are the most interesting people that you'll meet.

Note on Lyrics - Tam Jennifer

This is a dark one - so a disclaimer for my listeners - one of my inspirations for this was from the thought experiment "Imagine one hand clapping" that we use in yoga or meditation practice, mixed with the idea of "Unstruck" - The word associated with the heart. The Unstruck Sound. - A beautiful way of thinking of it. 
So mixing these ideas - makes it fairly straightforward to produce a love song featuring (what I hope is ) a fairly accurate portrayal of what love can sometimes feel like - in all its complexity.

Lyrics

There's something in the air between us, my dear.
It's a whisper that you can't, hear.
There's something in the air between us, my friend.
An agony - we can't comprehend. 
.
In this space between, you and me,
Is an ache so deep, and lonely,
With a climb so steep, to get there,
The air is thin, it's suffocating, oh! 
Just out of reach. 
Like a memory, oh! 
But the weight of this is crushing, oh! 
Where do I end?
And where do you begin?
I gave you my heart, to keep,
Safe.
Safe.
You promised me! 
.
Calm, calm, calm and slow. 
Darken the windows.
Hope is a long road.
Time is a quick trick.
.
Calm, calm, calm and slow!
Darken the windows. 
Hope is a long road.
Balancing in the thick, thick.
.
It's like, God, wrote me a poem. 
-
And now I know I'm alive. 
Alive. 
.
It has to have a place to go! 
So you MUST know. 
Your face is perfectly placed - 
Your face is perfectly placed - 
.
On Love's Road. 
.
-End-

My latest is a tune based around a couple of acoustic guitar parts. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening :)

Lyrics:
Another year, another bad debt
Snow is on the ground
Follow a trail of broken promise
Lost and never found
Its hard to know
When things go wrong 
And  word is on the street
The last to know 
And the only one 
To leave 

Even though we’ve been full circle
The ice is something new 
And tonight it’s unfamiliar
A place I thought I knew
I feel the dark 
And taste the cold
There’s nothing  here to see
The last to know 
The only one 
To leave 

Waking up too early
A bright light in my eyes
The clues were all around us
Thrown away with all the lies


In the morning I come looking
Somewhere in the snow
I know the footprints will be buried 
No where else to go
The wind gets up
The ghost has gone 
No hope of a reprieve
The last to know 
And The only one 
To leave

The Last To Know

Cast of characters:

Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and foundational rhythm guitar

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar, composition, mix, and production

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic guitar

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and electric piano

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 

Mistermark --  @user-432503709 — Mark — production engineering

This song began its life all the way over in on the other side of the pond, where our frequent collaborator, Artur wrote it on his electric guitar. Being a fan of surf music, he composed this awesome piece with The Eclectic Collective in mind. He shared it with the group through Tez, who was first to respond to Artur's guitar with his own, creating a psychedelic base of sound for the rest of us to add to. 

  Ken was up next, laying down his always exciting drums and percussion. Josh, of course, followed straight behind him, now that he had a beat to play to. JJ came soon after, laying in his ethereal organ and dancing electric piano. Last, but not least, Stephen laid in a really trippy acoustic arpeggio based acoustic guitar part to kick it to the next level.

  Of course, every great song needs a great producer. But before we even started the song beyond what Artur and Tez laid down at the beginning, Mark deftly separated Artur's basic beat from the music. Amazing what technology can do these days! For rest of the production, we tapped the very talented Tez to do the honors, which he did perfectly.

  This song marks about half a dozen we've done with Artur. We're all big fans of his unique surf rock sound, and jump at the chance to collaborate with him. If you like what we've done here, you should check out his page, as it's loaded with gems in the same strain. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
