Summer Storm

Voici une chanson très personnelle pour tous les amoureux de la Bretagne et de cette magnifique côte en particulier 
(translated below)
---- 
D'une Emeraude, une pierre
S'est enfuie la lumière
Pour se perdre en mer
Dans l'eau belle et claire

A La Garde-Guérin j'ai contemplé l'horizon 
J'ai vu : ciel, mer, le bleu le vert
Et si c'était la vision
D'une éternité sur Terre

Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Loin d'ici ? près d'ici ?
Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Mais je le sais, je reviendrai 
 
Là, laisser s'envoler
L'esprit sur les vagues
Et mon âme libérée
De mon corps qui s'évade

Je n'ai plus ce besoin de partir 
De parcourir le monde dans une quête infinie
Au fond de moi pour ressentir
Que tout le bonheur reste ici

Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Loin d'ici ? près d'ici ?
Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Mais je le sais, je reviendrai  

Et par là, sur les chemin escarpés 
J'aperçois le Nessay
Et par là, dans ce vent à décorner
Les diablotins, la Pointe du Décollé
Et c'est là, au banc de granit en retrait
Que sont encore gravés tous les amours secrets

Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Loin d'ici ? près d'ici ?
Je ne sais pas où me mènera la vie
Mais je le sais, je reviendrai
Je reviendrai pour rester

-----
From an Emerald, a stone
Light has escaped
To get lost in the sea
In the beautiful and clear water

At the Garde-Guérin I contemplated the horizon 
I saw: sky, sea, blue, green
And if it was the vision
Of an eternity on Earth

I don't know where life will take me
Far from here? near here?
I don't know where life will take me
But I know I will return 
 
There, to let fly
My mind on the waves
And my soul free
From my body that escapes

I no longer have the need to leave 
To travel the world in an endless quest
Deep inside me to feel
That all the happiness stays here

I don't know where life will take me
Far from here? near here?
I don't know where life will take me
But I know I will come back

And over there on the steep paths 
I see the Nessay
And over there in the wind
The imps, the Pointe du Décollé
And it's there, on the hidden granite bench
That all the secret loves are still engraved

I don't know where life will take me
Far from here? near here?
I don't know where life will take me
But I know I will come back
I will come back to stay

Elysian Fields

I remember your face
in the curling mist
Our feet washed
in warm pools of the bay

The rush of life sprung
from the seeds we laid
which grew silently
as the hours slipped away

Requited on a bed of blooming flowers
Our Orphic song so sweet, so loud
Love's harmonies rising 
Our burning hearth towards heaven
Bringing the peace found in love's eternity

Ah, this light! The joy you bring!
Blessed in love's Elysian Fields

Love's Elysian Fields

Ah, this light! The joy you bring!
Here on earth and love's Elysian Fields

Love's Elysian Fields

大きな鳥 Ⅲ (a large bird Ⅲ)

“この樹は今鳥かくせりとおもひつつ眞下より見る枝葉のうらを”
木下利玄（1886-1925）

The tree must be hiding a large bird behind its thriving branches and leaves. I thought so and looked up the tree, trying to find the bird.
Rigen Kinoshita(1886-1925)

大きな鳥3

A surf-rock ghost story set on Cocoa Beach. Early morning surfers swear they see a phantom rise from the waves — the spirit of a guy who rag-dolled last week. The locals clear out, leaving the narrator with all the waves to himself… until he meets the “ghost” face to face. Turns out, it’s just a plastic bag drifting in the surf. Horror movie vibe with a wink.

LYRICS
(2025 Ggreg Snyder)

[Verse 1]
Early morning, the tide rolls in,
Surfers swear they saw a phantom sin.
A shadow rising in the foamy deep,
They say it’s Dave — the ocean keeps.

[Chorus]
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Ghost! Ghost! Out of reach!
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Surfin’ in the haunted sea!

[Verse 2]
Next day they saw it, drifting near,
Now half the lineup won’t go near.
More big waves, and the break is mine,
Empty barrels, lookin’ fine.

[Chorus]
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Ghost! Ghost! Out of reach!
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Surfin’ in the haunted sea!

[Bridge]
I paddle out in the morning light,
White form shifting left to right.
They scream, “It’s Dave — he’s back from the grave!”
But hey, that’s my name they rave.

[Verse 3]
I walk to the shore, my heart beats fast,
Reach for the ghost in the seaweed mass.
No spirit, no soul, no phantom hand,
Just a plastic bag blowin’ over the sand.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Ghost! Ghost! Out of reach!
Ghost! Ghost! From Cocoa Beach!
Plastic bag ghost in the sea!

We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
