The Upload - 20 Jan. 2019

An Unwanted Goodbye is a piece for solo piano, cello and violins, born from the need to give voice to a farewell that was never chosen.
Like doves, who remain loyal to one partner for life, this music tells the story of a love torn apart — not by time, but by a sudden shot fired for “sport.”

The piano unfolds with a slow, silent bass line, while the strings weave a fragile, cinematic melody — expressing disorientation, absence, and the quiet pain of losing everything in an instant.
There are no screams. Only silence. The kind of silence left by hunting, when a life is taken for fun, leaving behind only emptiness.

This composition stands as a statement against hunting, against the cruelty that destroys innocent lives in the name of entertainment.
Sometimes, within that emptiness, a melody is born.
And this is mine.

Composed by Francesco Adornetto (piano) & Jane Johnson (strings).

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – (?) electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Fender Precision Bass
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth and organ
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals and lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T model electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering

This song began at the end of last summer, August of '24, when Tez sat down and composed it on his guitar. He shared it with us right away, and while everyone jumped on it immediately, it sat on the shelf for so long because we all felt we needed a singer for it. Fast forward a year, and lo and behold, we picked up Carl, who is down for whatever vocals a song needs. 
 
 We began construction on this by creating the rhythm section. Ken first adding his explosive drums, followed by Josh completing the rhythm section with his four string, fretted bass, which he used a plectrum to play.  JJ entered the fray next, adding his otherworldly synth and thickening organ. 
 
 Then is sat. And sat. And sat some more, until Carl found us, or we found him, and he was finally able to add the missing puzzle piece. But before we put it to bed, Stephen added some thrilling solo work with his axe, too. 
 
 Now that it was a completed song, we asked Stephen to mix it, even though it's really Tez's song, and that honor would usually go to him. However Tez was experiencing some technical difficulty, so the honor went to Stephen, who did his always professional production work on it. 
  
This is a straight rocker from Eclectic Collective, being in all of our wheelhouses. This one was all made in house, too, so it's a great representation of our rocking skills as a band. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

lyrics

You talk about me yeah
You said that I was the problem
You told your friends that
You said that I wouldn't holla
We texted everyday
We talked whenever
You talk about me yeah
You talk about me
They believe the words you say
They believe I'm not here to stay
They believe the words you say
I'm packing my bags today

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

When I can't sleep at night
It's you I'm yearning for
Why can't we get this right
I'm trying to not walk out that door
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying the bad things that you say
Stop talkin bout me
Stop saying that things won't go our way
Let's try one more time

I thought you loved me
I really thought
I thought you loved me

I Thought Wrong

My new song played on my acoustic piano as I just had it tuned! 😊❤️🎶🎤🎹

Where the Moon Meets the Stars (acoustic piano and vocals)

When an unknown wind gently caresses my cheek, I feel glad to be alive.

Ordinary happiness is a gentle breath. (358)

Well here were standing in this bright and bold horizon
And some people feel that they're all alone
I'm here to tell you that were standing strong together
And we just don't need to dance alone
We take one step forward
and we meet that little girl
We back up a few steps and we twirl our arms up in the air
You swing the doors wide-open
and let the fresh clean air come in
You turn the lights on and make the shadows go away

Cause we ain't going to dance alone tonight
We're going to dance alone together 
We ain't going to dance alone tonight
We're going to dance together

The Moonlight 

När vinden sakt flyger hör du ett ljud från skogen
När vi kommer nära så vill du inte höra

Vi är tillsammans..Nu
åh vi...
aaaaaa..

Quand la lumière lunaire
vacille et sombre dans l'effroi
Sens-tu l'imperceptible que tu refuses de voir ?
Nous, unis par l'esprit, nous sommes

När jag tittar tillbaks kommer jag inte se
Vi försvann i skenet nu
När vinden ler

Vi vi är tillsammans nu
åh vi...
vi vi är tillsammans nu
aahh vi
aaaaaa...

Quand mon regard repose 
au-delà de l'horizon létal
s'embrase notre indéfectible amour sous la lune pâle...
Nous, unis pour la vie, nous sommes

Volcan
L'energie du soleil
la vie dans ses doigts
aux entrailles de la terre
la puissance du magma
doucement se réveille ...

Je sens comme un appel
la lumière d'un phare
un cri bien au delà
a  l'abri des regards
un chant millénaire ...

Volcano
The energy of the sun
life in his fingers
in the bowels of the earth
the power of magma
wake up slowly ...

I feel like a call
the light of a lighthouse
a cry far beyond
isolated
an old song ...
