"Ah! Sun-flower" is a poem by William Blake, published in his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The poem explores themes of longing, weariness, and the human desire for something beyond earthly existence, using the sunflower as a symbol. 

A big thank you to you Torbjørn, what a great joy to sing this beautiful poem.

Poem: William Blake

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.

Ah! Sun-flower. Torbjørn Vagle. Oddrun Eikli

V1
IT'S ANOTHER ECLIPSE OF THE CITY
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
S S SAILING AWAY
WHEN I FLOTE INTO YOUR EYE'S
LOOK'S LIKE YOUR FAR AWAY
THERE TO STAY
(CHORUS)
IT'S ALRIGHT, YOU'LL BE FINE
GET OFF THE GROUND, TO TAKE MY HAND
AND FALL AGAIN, TO FALL AGAIN
WE CAN HIDE AND TRY TO DEFINE
SUCH IS LIFE
V2
WE ALL LIVE IN THE CRIME OF THE FUTURE
FEELS LIKE THE END OF TIME
REALING AWAY
NOW YOU'VE SLID INTO THIS STYLE
IT'S NOT THAT YOU HAD TO STAY
I'M HERE TO SAY
(CHORUS)
IT'S ALRIGHT, YOU'LL BE FINE
GET OFF THE GROUND, TO TAKE MY HAND
AND FALL AGAIN, TO FALL AGAIN
WE CAN HIDE AND TRY TO DEFINE
SUCH IS LIFE

A reflective journey exploring a vast length of time that has passed. I thought I would release this one today as food for thought and comments. Cheers from Glenny G

Set Free (Original)

      This is another of my Instrumentals written in 2022 during the pandemic with a moral underbelly. I've always wanted to write a song about Swans but I put a twist in the video and made it about hunters that actually shoot and kill Swans for no apparent reason other than they must enjoy killing beautiful things and creatures. I also added other creatures besides man that can be deadly for Swans like Alligatros and such. The song was way too long and too repetitive so I remixed it last year and shortened it by about 1 minute and a half and produced a new video for it.  Even with the edits the song is still over 5 minutes long! I think I should have edited about another 1 minute from it. It's still a little too repetitive! This audio soundtrack is made to be listened to with the video! You here gunshots and other noises so please check out the video.

    During the new video creation I had turned the Swan into a beautiful woman and tried to suggest that killing a beautiful Swan is like killing a beautiful woman and therefore must NEVER be done! I don't show any Swans being shot, of course, it's all suggestive. After a recent comment on my video from my fellow creator and good friend Blue Bart (check his channel out on YouTube, it's really cool!👍), he suggested that the beautiful woman in the video should be a "Magical Swan Goddess" looking after and protcting these magnificent creatures from hunters and preditors! I really loved that idea and so with a wave of my wand, WHOOSH, it is so!😂 I'd like to thank Bart for his very creative and inspiring suggestion!
     I remember adding tons of audio and video effects on this one, lots of keyboards and delayed guitars and such. Another artsy composition and video, showing that I don't only compose silly love songs, although I must admit, I love writting them!  😂 This one is along the lines of "A Sublte Tear", "Together Alone", and "Oblivion". More of an artistic instrumental with no lyrics and a long cinematic video, more like a Short Subject film. I hope you all enjoy my "Swan Serenade" and don't fall asleep too soon during the listening or viewing. Take care and please cherish all forms of life.🙏😎✌🏼

Preamble

The song "Round and Round" is a one day production from Scratch to Master - please enjoy

Round and Round

Cast of characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and compostion
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Chinese gong and VST cello
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – light VST Latin percussion, synth, and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, chant vocals at the end 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — ebow, production, mix, and mastering
This song is the fourth Carl has written and composed with a member of Eclectic Collective in mind. This time JJ is being honored, and we all agree that he deserves it, too. Carl is a wonderful singer, songwriter, composer, and musician, and we're all grateful that he's joined our collective. 
  Here's what Carl had to say about it. "The music for this was a personal song written to myself which I never really released as I was trying to say goodbye to my own ego in the song. From that point of view I have always seen the piece as a great bit of personal therapy for me. None of the original lyrics survived and JJ gets painted by the new words .. But I thought it would be nice to reuse the composition for this. There was no big reason for it only when I decided to start a 60bpm song for JJ on piano .. I started playing Goodbye Ego and the rest is history..."
  We tackled this song like we would any other, though. Mark was first up on this, adding his VST magic in the form of a Chinese gong, as well as the cello you hear throughout. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his hot, yet minimal Latin percussion and essential piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his spicy drums after that, and once they were down, Josh jumped in with his four string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Josh also added the vocal chant at the end.
  All that was left was for Stephen to mix it all down for us, which he did in his always pro manner. But before he did, he also added some subtle, yet stirring ebow on his guitar. 
  As stated above, this is a continuation of our songs about us. Hope no one thinks it's arrogant. When Carl presents us with these little treasures, it's hard not to run with them, though. Always a ton of fun to make music together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Praying hands
Whatever cause
Once our greater good not lost
Bored children create their fun
We shelve French horn for this fine one
"Nice one lads" We read it all!
Vacation taken
To JJ calls
Neighbour to good Mickey Moore
Find Michigan piano pure
JJ calls
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Down the road city of cars
To Howell front deck
Dad and Guitars
We jam that love then tell the world
Love and service human highway knurled
Good bi-product of happiness sought
With Croatian fun to cloud we court
Terrell Terminator in Jungle
Predator for good
Keys like Mr Bungle
Faith in more like we could
He Thanks you
It's lifestyle
Built from a porch
Good collective friend
Keep lighting that torch
Some moments sealed, marked and moulded
Pure intention
Dark blindfolded
Howl from human to Howell good soul
Keyed keystone as collective role
JJ calls
Darkness falls
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
Love lit up
Just for us
JJ calls
JJ calls
Just for us

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

No Way Out---------------- (Lyrics)

Chorus
Let me in or let me out (X2)
No way out there's just no way out (X2)

Banging down the door with another block buster 
beat by itself bad as a motherfucker 
best of all back for all to see 
on this dope ass track so motherfuckers please 
got the tools in demand mic in my hand 
coming through strong with another grand slam 
my best expected mistakes corrected 
smiles injected and haters dissected

Doing things my way as my journey hurls me forward
Grind and hustle everyday trying not to get devoured 
law I should obey are they there to make me cower
Systems gone astray I'm just feeling overpowered
Obstacles in my way but--experience I've encountered
Tends to save the day who's to say-----
am I really that uncultured
Mend and heal find a way recover and rebound
As I battle time decays sometimes turning things around 
Who do I owe who's to pay still intend to stand my ground
As I approach each day never ever backing down
never ever backing down

Chorus
No way out--- there's just no way out (X2)

I stay gold oriented--only the wise advances
Bold enough--never scared to take chances
Find opportunity--and exploit the advantage
Manipulate the outcome-- to change my circumstances 

Never waited hesitated or miscalculated
I'm the one that's been truly designated 
take a closer look at what I've created 
done a bang up job shocking --no defibrillated
Beat blaster back by popular demand 
beating back Haters with both of my hands 
one made of iron the other of steel if the left
don't get ya then the right sure will

Lines are drawn deep deep down
And still I'll never be your pawn
Hell no I just won't conform
Mind of my own since the day I was born
Hunter or prey well let's check the takedown---but
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
I said heavy is the head that wears the crown

Chorus
Let me in or let me out (X2)
No way out there's just no way out (X2)

Banging down the door with another block buster 
beat by itself bad as a motherfucker 
best of all back for all to see 
on this dope ass track so motherfuckers please 
got the tools in demand mic in my hand 
coming through hard with another grand slam 
my best expected mistakes corrected 
smiles injected and haters dissected

Doing things my way as my journey hurls me forward
Grind and hustle everyday trying not to get devoured 
law I should obey are they there to make me cower
Systems gone astray just feeling overpowered
Obstacles in my way but--experience I've encountered
Tends to save the day who's to say-----
am I really that uncultured
Mend and heal find a way recover and rebound
As I battle time decays sometimes turning things around 
Who do I owe who's to pay still intend to stand my ground
As I approach each day never ever backing down
never ever backing down

Chorus
But there's---
No way out
No way out there's just no way out
There's just no way out
