“Hey, Dad?”

What’s it like in Heaven?
Do you party every day?
I’ve got so much to ask you –
But not a lot to say!
Do you ever miss us?
Down here on Earth?
Is being there familiar,
Or a rebirth?
You’re always here with me,
You’re always near!
When I make the grades, or
The toasts I’ve made!
In pictures or afar,
Your me-mor-y is deep within
My heart!

Who’s all there in Heaven? 
Grandma and Aunt V?
Are Uncle Joe and Bob there?
Can you give them all a hug – from me?
Is it better?
Is it better than the life
You had on Earth?
Is it warmer than a sunset,
Or calmer than the surf – up there?
Well, I guess I’d better run
It’s been real fun
I love you to the Moon
I’ll see you soon!

"Hey, Dad?"

We care

The words behind this song of ABBA is very different to the title, which is very appropriate during this years Olympic Games.
So I was tempted to create this instrumental cover.
Hope you enjoy the experience.

Composition – The Eclectic Collective

 This song began with a bass part that Jeff came up with and shared with Stephen, who had added some fiery guitar and foundational rhythm guitar to it. However, it languished on his digital shelf for many months as two parts, until he recently remembered that he had it. So, he decided to share it with the rest of the group. We were salivating, all of us, when we heard Jeff's bass line, so we began with Ken laying in the groovy drums and the tight, driving percussion, which propels the entire song. Once we had a beat, we decided to edit the part to include the break you hear about a minute into it. Mark took on that task, and deftly added the bass in that section, too. 
  Josh was up next, and decided to add a rhythm guitar inspired by Talking Heads. Once he had done that, he started hearing a simple, catchy melody in the main verse part, too, so he came up with some simple lyrics and recorded the vocals for that. At the same time this was happening, Ken also came up with some lyrics and a vocal melody for the breakdown part, which he added. After Ken had added his vocals, Josh added a harmony part on them. He also added the lap slide melody you hear in that section, as well. 
  JJ was next up to bat, laying in the breathtaking organ throughout. He also backdropped a canvas of synthesizer throughout and put in some electric piano too. Tez came along not long after and added the ripping guitar solo in the jam section. Once everyone had added their parts, it was up to Stephen to produce, mix, and master it. He arranged and added some length to it, then mixed it in his usual expert manner.
  This is the first song the Eclectic Collective has done with Jeff, though Stephen has worked with him in the past, and we were all fans of his music, and thus very excited for the chance to make music with him. Hopefully, this will be the first of many.
  We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. If you comment, please share, too. 

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
The trees talk to each other
They send messages through the breeze
There's magic all around us
If we look for it, we can see
 
Original lyrics by K2 and the Three:
Hey, how you feeling about love and lust
Hey how you dealing with all the lies you trust
We're here to be clear
Not a walk in the dark

A little woweluja
Little halleluja

Wowlelujah (Eclectic Collective) - feat. Jeff Roberts

Here is a demo with added vocals recorded today 4 Sep 2024 by myself, of my song LOST IN THE LIGHT.
 I used to sing and play the piano many ages ago jazz standards and Evergreens at my gigs and events, Hey! I even had some concerts!

     However, this is after 40 minutes of rehearsing only, and I recorded sitting with my laptop on my lap with my Airpods :) 

Here's a challenge! Because I know I like a good challenge! 😉

I have a list of people who want to sing this song,

So here's your chance to send me your demo. You can forward it here on SoundCloud. (You can find the track of the piano from this recording here on SoundCloud)

And then we will see what's going to happen.

Thanks 

Enjoy!  😊


( I've done some mastering on the vocal track, I am currently a rookie but I am a fast learner But for the 4th, or 5th time in my life doing that, it doesn't sound the worst I guess. 😁😁😁

Lost In The Light Piano + Voice Demo.

Since I was born
and every moment after
has been spent in a Way-side Quik-EE Mart
turns out I'm a member of a society
way too real in it's sobriety
like a tea-todler with a sweet tooth or a 
fan-boy playing up his youth
yea cause 
our air has been diluted
aim to cut us where we're rooted
got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'
O 
so I fell down the rabbit hole
and at the same time...I hold the line
cause there's a scandal at the exit
so no one leaves
and I believe we've been deceived
cause there's traffic in the skies
under the gaze of alien eyes
and just a roadside attraction
at the Way-side Quik-EE mart
yea
and I've heard it said that this isht's
all in my head...Imma master of
invention my brain pulling down a pension
clears away the broken promise of my heart
yea
I got a bounty on a bunny
saying  'follow me'

A Bounty On A Bunny

A strange title, I know!!!! I guess it equates to, Life = Pain
In Spiritual terms, if you're not suffering, you're not getting anywhere!  Truly spiritual people, learn to embrace that pain! 

Nope! I've not managed that yet!!! Each time I get to a fork in my path, I choose the one that leads to Shit Creek 😹🤣🤪💊🍺🍄🦄🦞 Lol.  But then again, maybe I am getting somewhere!?!  Smiley Laughing faces! Items of recreation!! Exotic Creatures!!! 😜
Surely, that's Positive, and, NO swearing!!! 😲 WTF???  Apart from Shit, that don't count though, it's the name of somewhere/thing.

Anyway, if you've managed to read this far, then you will be fore warned about the possibility of a shit bit near the end, it doesn't last long though!!! 

                 LOVE AND PEACE - jaKe 💖🙏👍🍺🦞

If You're Not Suffering Then You Must Be Buffering

Hi, I'm Jake a 56 year old music addict and drug fiend who is finally starting to see the error of his ways!!! (too late now and no room for regrets!) And by Error of my ways, I mean I can see how I've ruined the taking of certain drugs by abusing them! So now they no longer work properly!  I'm 40 years in now! and I am going to see it through till the end! A true Taurus person, Stubborn as Fuck!
For people who have never taken drugs, I suggest you start NOW! It's a Spiritual thing, You have to Expand your mind to accommodate the knowledge that will set you free! If you are good at meditating, then that will do as good, if not better, I'm shit at meditating! So it's drugs for me!  It's all about truth, and don't be fooled into thinking you can learn this by reading it in a book or listening to someone speaking about it, YOU CAN'T,  It must come from within your self,  A Realisation, Only then will You know the Truth! 
I got into Punk around 1982 and not long after discovered Hardcore Punk, around 1993 I finally allowed myself to get into Rave and then got into mixing.
I got into Oldskool Hardcore and Jungle when I turned 50! better late than never I suppose. haha
