No dicen nada.

Tremenda balacera hubo en un barrio.
No se si me da el pico pa contarlo.
Hoy dos gorriones miran para arriba
y se ha reunido a tanta comitiva.

Cuendo pasé ya todos lo sabían.
Caídos dos, ninguno se movía.
Al fierro lo encontraron en el carro.
Ya listo pa tirar algun petardo.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor,
no dice nada la radio,
tampoco los diarios, no hay fotos.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor.
No dice nada la televisión, ahí tampoco veo notas.
No dicen nada

Sus caras enterradas en el barro.
Algunos dicen que fueron sicarios.
Y otros que  estos pibes ya tenían
alguna vaina con la policia.

Los chicos van llenando sus agujeros.
Con goles en el arco del potrero.
Y saben que la muerte es una espina,
que vive a cada vuelta de la esquina.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor,
no dice nada la radio,
tampoco los diarios, no hay fotos.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor.
No dice nada la televisión, ahí tampoco veo notas.
No dicen nada.

And It Whispered "The Way"

Over the Rainbow [instrumental] Trumpet and piano

I did this trumpet and piano version in early 2021.

Two favourite covers come to mind for this famous classic. One is by Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole from Hawaii who is no longer with us and Eva Cassidy who has also departed this earthly plain. Both are on youtube. Eva has some other great songs there as well. 

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

Piano arrangement and performance by jazz pianist Doug McKenzie. Trumpet arrangement and performance by yours truly.

Rejet Pyramidal - Trio version - Video in description

Dedicated to my wife Roberta..., 42 years together

voglio solo te

it frequently occurs that I have to face up to a hundred of attempts when working on virtual vocals for my stuff – though I created a particular persona (defined in many details such as voice character and stuff) in order to work with a ‘familiar’ singer. anyway, this time it actually took almost 250 working versions and the entire amount of my suno pro credits to direct the machine towards a vocal performance matching with my musically concept, the backing tracks and even more: my massive thoughts and emotions in terms of topic. I was looking for a genre or a way to capture a story going back a thousand of years – and going on and on and on. everyday. around the planet. becoming ever worse, especially nowadays…

Leben über Leben
Alle gerade eben
Zwischen zwei Sekunden
Ausgelöscht verschwunden
 
Grauenhafter Schrecken
Eingestürzte Decken
Ängste, Schreie, Schmerzen
Lauter tote Herzen
 
Wimmern und Entsetzen
Kinderkörperfetzen
Reste von Figuren
Wie zertretene Uhren
 
Graue Trümmerorte
Blut und Ohnmachtsworte
Schneidend tiefer Kummer
Eine Opfernummer
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
  
Wünsche, Pläne, Ziele
Sorgenfreie Spiele
Freude, Lachen, Scherze
Alles nur noch Schwärze
 
Atmen, Leben spüren
Sehen und berühren
Träumen, küssen, lieben
Nichts davon geblieben
 
Unendliches Sterben
Grauen und Verderben
Bomben, Morden, Brennen
Es Konflikte nennen
 
Schlachten wie von Sinnen
Siegen, nie gewinnen
Ewig gleiche Sache
Männer, Macht und Rache
  
Es wird weiter, weitergehen
Weiter über Leichen 
Ist noch nicht genug geschehen
Wird uns niemals reichen
Alles wird so weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter
 
Es wird immer wieder gehen
Für ein Meer aus Tränen
Alle haben hingesehen
Niemand muss sich schämen
So wird alles weiter weitergehen
weiter, weiter, weiter

trying to translate:  

Untold lives
All just
Between two seconds
Destroyed, erased

Terrible fright
Collapsed ceilings
Fears, screams, pain
Shredded hearts

Whimpering and horror
Children's body scraps
Remains of limbs
Like trampled watches

Gray places of rubble
Blood and fainting words
Cutting deep sorrow
A victim number

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

Wishes, plans, goals
Worry-free games
Joy, laughter, jokes
Everything is just blackness

Breathe, feel life
See and touch
Dream, kiss, love
Nothing remained of it

Infinite dying
Terror and ruin
Bombs, murder, burning
Named conflict

Slaughtering insanity
Triumphing, never winning
Always the same thing
Men, power and revenge

It will go on and on
Over dead bodies 
Not enough has happened yet
Will never be enough for us
Everything will continue like this
On and on and on

It will happen again and again
For a sea of tears
All eyes are on it
Nobody has to be ashamed
This is how everything will continue
On and on and on


Es wird weiter weitergehen

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

I'm Not Here

Cast of Characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and composition
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST Chinese cymbals 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, Chinese percussion 
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 honoured, 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 in the first verse. The subject of our adulation came next, with JJ adding not only his subtle but effective Latin percussion and beautiful piano, but moody synth, as well. Ken added his majestic Chinese flavoured 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
