Cast of characters:
Steve's Planet--@steve-vervaet—Steve—acustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell--@j-j-terrell—JJ—organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums, percussion, and low vocal harmony
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–Fender precision bass  
This song began as an acoustic guitar and vocals stem written and performed by Steve. He sent it to Josh, who added the undulating staccato bass line, with the help of Ken's always well-suited drums. They went back and forth a couple of times, as is their process, until it clicked. Tez added some really dynamic leads and fills throughout, and Stephen filled in the rest of the electric guitar in a Keith/Ronnie kind of way, which is very tasteful. JJ then added some perfectly complimentary organ. Finally, Ken pleasantly surprised us with the low vocal harmonies. 
Stephen also mixed and produced this one for us. He's brilliant behind the board, and we're lucky to have him aboard. This one came together in a matter of a relatively short period of a fortnight, which is rare for the Eclectic Collective. But, when something is hot and already put together, it comes quickly. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Lyrics:
Fallin’
Wandering aimless
Couldn’t shoot straight
No ability
Not much to say
There was no sign of me
Good times, bad times
Leaving out the sad times
Easily
That’s what they’re telling me
Mend or break
Looking over rooftops
Coming to a full stop
Suddenly
On a sad height
Raging endlessly
Breakline, beeline
Picking up the freeline
Easily
Follow my way
Leavin’ the fast lane
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2
And I – I’ve been going my way
One more time, only today 2x
My- My mind is fallin’
When I think about, losing out
There’s no doubt, you started fallin’ x2

Voici le deuxième volet de l’aventure “Pluie et Lumière”
La première fois que j’ai entendu ce magnifique instrumental de Dan, j’ai tout de suite su que je devais raconter quelque chose de spécial, de sombre mais en même temps plein d’espoir. Cette piste devait être également  précédée d’un beau prélude pour que l’histoire soit complète:

Here is the second part of the “Rain and Light” adventure
The first time I heard this beautiful instrumental from Dan, I immediately knew I had to tell something special, dark but at the same time hopeful. This track also had to be preceded by a beautiful prelude for the story to be complete:

PLUIE ET LUMIERE

C est là en plein cœur de l’orage qu’Elle surgit là
C’est depuis le fond de moi qu’elle me foudroie
Elle surgit là, quelque part

Ces nouvelles montagnes à grimper…
Je me retourne une dernière fois vers ce monde, 
ce bout de moi que je vais laisser,
Seule une  partie va me rester.
Je regarde l’autre se détacher,
Je n’ai pas le choix, je dois avancer:
A cette main du destin, je ne peux résister.
Une nouvelle partie va se rejouer 
Est-ce à prendre ou à laisser?
Vais-je partir vers ces contrées insoupçonnées?
Les dés de ma vie ont été relancés
Vais-je la même rester?
Tout vient de se bouleverser
Toutes les pages de ma vie se sont retournées
Tout a été redistribué…pour tout recommencer
Tel un phoenix je renais de mes cendres 
Je ne peux plus prétendre…

Je regarde une dernière fois tout autour de moi…
Et je fais alors le premier pas 

Et même si la pluie ne cesse pas
C’est une autre histoire qui commence pour moi 
Elle surgit là, elle surgit là….


RAIN AND LIGHT

It is there in the heart of the storm that it arises there
It’s from deep inside that it strikes me down
it appears there, somewhere

These new mountains to climb…
I return one last time to this world,
this piece of me that I am going to leave behind,
Only part will remain with me.
I watch the other one break away,
I have no choice, I must move forward:
I cannot resist this hand of fate.
A new game will be played again
Take it or leave it?
Will I leave for these unsuspected lands?
The dices of my life have been rolled again
Will I stay the same?
Everything has just turned upside down
All the pages of my life have turned over
Everything was redistributed…to start all over again
Like a phoenix I am reborn from my ashes
I can no longer pretend...

I look around me one last time...
And then I take the first step

And even though the rain doesn't stop
This is another story that begins for me
It arises there, it arises there

BACK HOME “The Place We Made”

We didn’t grow up here, 
But each nook and cranny fill my heart 
With a memory and a dream of us, 
And the countless friends that touched our life.  

It’s all here – the photographs, my piano, artwork, 
And beauty we’ve folded into the blankets— 
Soft as memory, and warm as trust.

Though maps may point elsewhere,
this is my home of us.
The laughter, silence, music and everything between
Resonates the walls in harmonic reverie.

Because no place, no name,
holds me like this one does.
The dust knows my footsteps,
The river flows with blood in my veins,
And the tree outside my window smiles 
at my reflection.

WHAT IS REAL?  WHAT IS FAKE?
What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 
It’s getting hard to take
Hard to take
For us all

And this is just the beginning 
The beginning of the AI invasion 
Pretty soon humans will be
A small part of the equation

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 
It’s getting hard to take
Hard to take
For us all

Now, you’re part of the video game
Looking in from the outside
The President is a body-double
You wanna jump off the ride

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 
It’s getting hard to take
Hard to take
For us all…..
Hard to take the fall

[Music]

Slave-Star, no thank you
Why they call it REAL ID
Orwell’s plantation is real
A cult of personality

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 
It’s getting hard to take
Hard to take
For us all……
Hard to take the fall

[Music]

And this is just the beginning 
The beginning of the AI invasion 
Pretty soon humans will be 
Of little persuasion

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false? 

What is real?
What is fake? 
What is true? 
What is false?
Ooooooooh-ooooooooh

Latest Updates: 
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
