I hope you will enjoy listening to it, and that it will even please you a little.

The story behind the music:
Devastated by the loss of his beloved, the Scientist, working on creating a brain-computer interface, desperately longs to return to those moments of happiness that defined their love. In an attempt to revive his memories and rekindle the feelings buried deep within his soul, he embarked on the creation of a system that would enable him to travel through time within his own mind, exploring those fleeting fragments of happiness.
After a successful initial attempt, however, a system overload occurred, causing a glitch that eluded his attention. In his subsequent endeavor, instead of immersing himself in blissful memories, the Scientist found himself in the dark labyrinth of his worst nightmares, lurking in the deepest recesses of his subconscious. He ended up as a shadow of a deranged soul, tormented by phantoms and obsessive fears, imprisoned within the macabre dreams he had inadvertently crafted.

Strange Habit

I've had this idea for a while to insert a Reggae/Dub section into a Jazz or Blues tune, and finally got around to it. Luckily, this is both - a 24 bar Blues structure in a Jazz style, with 3 horns. As a bonus, I managed to work in a little tribute to Pink Floyd. See if you can spot the several references to the song 'Money' in the Dub section starting @ 2:46, and the subtle nod in the track art. 

Also, one of my fave sounds in music is hearing a trombone player 'go off' in an unhinged solo, bonus points if it's muted with a plunger  ;). I tried at least a very small attempt at that... it comes in right after the 'Dub' section while the sax & trumpet swap melodies from the first half. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't, but I laugh whenever I hear it. All instruments are played by me on keyboard.

***Also, check out the really cool take that fellow Canadian 'Big Al From The Grove' has on this track, where he graced it with his brilliant guitar playing:

thanks for listening!  

(just realized, this is actually track #100 in my SC catalogue, since starting in 2013. yay!)

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

 This is a song written on the piano by JJ, who wanted to share the creative process with two of his esteemed colleagues. He asked Ross to come up with some vocals and lyrics, which Ross did in a profoundly deep way. His experience with both life and singing is really evident in this. Then JJ asked Josh to add his multi-instrumental skills to the mix. So, Josh added bass and mandolin, with the great direction of JJ and Ross. Then JJ added some synth strings to the mix, too. Finally, Ross mixed, produced, and mastered it. 
  This is the first time, hopefully of many, that this trio has worked together. JJ and Josh, of course, are in the Eclectic Collective together, but this was their first time working with Ross. They were both really impressed with his work, and found him a real pleasure with whom to create. 
  We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording this.

The Legacy .... (Original concept by Paploviante)

"In the Bleak Midwinter" by English poet Christina Rossetti was first published in 1872. In 1906 Gustav Holst composed a setting to these verses now sung throughout the world. At this dark time in humanity it is our sincere hope that you will reflect upon these verses with us and ponder the hope and true meaning of Christmas.

Thank you dear Debbie, for your beautiful sensitive music and piano. 
Thank you for this very special journey in music, and in Christina Rossetti`s beautiful poetry.

Lyrics:
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty —
Jesus Christ.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am? —
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part, —
Yet what I can I give Him, —
Give my heart.

All verses (1872)

    In the bleak mid-winter
    Frosty wind made moan
    Earth stood hard as iron,
    Water like a stone;
    Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
    Snow on snow,
    In the bleak mid-winter
    Long ago.

    Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
    Nor earth sustain,
    Heaven and earth shall flee away
    When He comes to reign:
    In the bleak mid-winter
    A stable-place sufficed
    The Lord God Almighty —
    Jesus Christ.
    	

    Enough for Him, whom cherubim
    Worship night and day,
    A breastful of milk
    And a mangerful of hay;
    Enough for Him, whom Angels
    Fall down before,
    The ox and ass and camel
    Which adore.

    Angels and Archangels
    May have gathered there,
    Cherubim and seraphim
    Thronged the air;
    But only His Mother
    In her maiden bliss
    Worshipped the Beloved
    With a kiss.
    	

    What can I give Him,
    Poor as I am? —
    If I were a Shepherd
    I would bring a lamb;
    If I were a Wise Man
    I would do my part, —
    Yet what I can I give Him, —
    Give my heart.

IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
J’AVAIS LA FOI
JE CROYAIS EN LA LOI
EN DIEU EN MOI    
MAIS AVEC LE TEMPS VOILÀ
ET TOUT SON TRALALA       
BON DIEU J’AI PERDU LA FOI
JE SAIS PLUS OÙ JE VA
 
IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
JE DONNAIS DE LA VOIX OUAIS
JE CHANTAIS SOUS LES TOITS
POUR MON CHAT
MAIS AVEC LE TEMPS VOILÀ
FINIS LES TRALALAS
MON DIEU J’AI PERDU MA VOIE 
JE SAIS PLUS OÙ JE VA

IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
C’ÉTAIT LA JOIE
ON ÉTAIT DES BABAS
COOL HARE KRISHNA
MAIS DE CHARHYBDE EN SCYLLA
TOMBÉ DE HAUT EN BAS
DANS CE BRANLE-BAS DE COMBAT
JE SAIS PLUS OÙ JE VA

IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
J’AVAIS LE CHOIX
TREMOLOS ET TRALALAS
GUIDAIENT MES PAS
MAIS ENTRE ICI ET LÀ-BAS
OU SUIS-JE QUI LO SA
ET TOI A PART DROIT DEVANT TOI
TU SAIS PLUS OÙ TU VAS

" THE HOPE OF THE SUNRISE"
Lyrics to No Angels:-
"As the young man left the clearing, he scrambled down a hill, and saw an old man, sitting outside a cave on a huge mushroom, beckoning him".

I saw the ship overhead
Did you get to meet them
You think they're good
They're very good
At fooling and deceiving

Did you trust them
Did you listen
Did you believe these
Gung-ho strangers
They will trick you
They will bleed you
Don't you know 
They are no angels
No Angels

As you move on
On your way
Never search for saviours
Discernment rules
Feel your way
Only you can make it

Do you trust you
Will you listen
Do you believe
You are the changer
See the pitfalls
Hear the dangers
Don't you know
You need no angels
No Angels

Do you trust you
Will you listen
Do you believe
You are the changer
See the pitfalls
Hear the dangers
Don't you know
You need no angels
No Angels
