Cool how our hero, not a closed book by any means, shares some wisdom of the struggle... the loss, and the vastness beyond the exterior of a tattered cover. Great song.

Lovely picking. Enjoying the vocal performance.

Dig it!🔥👊🏻😎great tune 🤘🏻

Fantastic picking. The progressions are just so good. From solo nylon to double and backwards guitars, thats beautiful. Love, love, love the ending. Theres a rawness in your vocal, fab to hear that.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
In der Dämm'rung dieser Zeit
Wo die Farben sanft verblassen
(sanft verblassen)
Spür ich eine Müdigkeit
Die sich nicht in Worte fassen
(nicht in Worte fassen lässt)

Doch ein Kribbeln tief in mir
(tief in mir)
Flüstert von verborgnem Licht
(von verborgnem Licht)

Erhelle das Morgen mit dem Heute
(mit dem Heute)
Jeder kleine Funke zählt
Lass die Hoffnung dich begleiten
(dich begleiten)
Bis der neue Tag erwacht

Kleine Zeichen überall
Sonnenstrahlen durch die Wolken
(durch die Wolken)
Freundlichkeit im Alltagsgrau
Lässt die Seele wieder horchen
(wieder horchen)

Und die Musik beginnt zu klingen
(beginnt zu klingen)
Trägt uns fort aus dieser Zeit
(aus dieser Zeit)
Lässt die Herzen wieder schwingen
(wieder schwingen)
Macht uns für das Neue bereit

Erhelle das Morgen mit dem Heute
(mit dem Heute)
Lass den Mut dein Führer sein
Jeder Schritt in diese Weite
(in diese Weite)
Bringt mehr Licht in unser Sein

In der Dämmerung erwacht
(in der Dämmerung)
Eine neue Melodie
(neue Melodie)
Die uns sanft hinüberträgt
In ein helleres Morgen
(helleres Morgen)

English translation:
In the twilight of this time
Where the colors gently fade
(gently fade)
I feel a tiredness
That cannot be put into words
(cannot be put into words)

But a tingling deep inside me
(deep inside me)
Whispers of hidden light
(of hidden light)

Illuminate tomorrow with today
(with today)
Every little spark counts
Let hope accompany you
(accompany you)
Until the new day awakens

Small signs everywhere
Rays of sunshine through the clouds
(through the clouds)
Kindness in the everyday gray
Lets the soul listen again
(listen again)

And the music begins to sound
(begins to sound)
Carries us away from this time
(from this time)
Makes the hearts vibrate again
(vibrate again)
Makes us ready for the new

Illuminate tomorrow with today
(with today)
Let courage be your guide
Every step into this vastness
(into this vastness)
Brings more light into our being

Awakened in the twilight
(in the twilight)
A new melody
(new melody)
That gently carries us over
Into a brighter tomorrow
(brighter tomorrow)

Erhelle das Morgen

Relax

Just a simple song for the lonely. Old fashioned human music for this modern age.

Lyrics:
I'm bringing you my honest confessional
I'm dying out here, don't you know?
I've been walking the internet at night
I don't know why I always fall for the tawdry
I always fall for the pills
I fall for your sweetest thrills
I'm dribbling down here at the end of the bar
Falling in
(falling in and out)
Falling in and out of love
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the corona eye
You know that I always lie

I could be anything you need
I could be that book that you've been working on...
A paperback. Dog eared and worn...
A book you put up on the shelf...
A book you read that changes your sense of self...
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the coronas' eye
The valley of the lonely...

The Valley Of The Lonely

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass, and Roland organ
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production

  
This song began when Joe, feeling a bit nostalgic, wrote the lyrics and composed it on his acoustic guitar. He recorded it and sang it with expert harmonies, then decided to share it with Eclectic Collective. We were all very excited to get work on our second song with Joe, as we all admire his songwriting.
  First up was Tez this time, oddly enough. He was able to identify all the fill spots and light up the solo without the rest of us even adding anything yet. Next came Ken, who usually goes first, adding his steady grooving drums and tasty percussion. Once the drums were down, Josh completed the rhythm section by adding his fretted bass. He also worked out an organ part to give the whole sound a bit of thickness. Also adding some thickness and texture, Stephen added a clean electric rhythm part, as well. 
  Once we had it in can we asked Stephen to mix and produce it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This, as mentioned, is Eclectic Collective's second song with Joe, and we all enjoyed bringing it to life with him. He's a wonderful collaborator and an all around good dude. Do yourself a favor and go check out his page, which is rich in great songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino:

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way. 
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow. 
I sure hope that you're happy.  I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well.  I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Hope That You Are Happy (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)
