Jon Anderson might have been involved... ;-))

Melody/Chord combo on this is goes above the beyond typical alt. rock music. If played on the radio back in the day it would have freaked people out so hard they would have buying your records up faster than tickle me elmo. Seriously...

I just love your piano playing style so much, from jaunty to wonderful melodic lines.

A nicely written, powerful song ....... great lyrics!

Quite spiky this one, with interesting changes of tempo and musical interlude.

Nice unusual structure to this one! Great vocal line : )

Unusual structure to this one, great vocal line : )

GETTING USED TO CHANGES

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

Beauty In The Tiny

Ce que l'Homme a cru voir

Cast of characters:
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — Ovation guitar, lead vocals, lyrics, and composition
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
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST timbale, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano and synth
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HSS electric guitar

This song began as Carl's tribute poem to our drummer, Ken. Carl came up with the chord progression and started a project, to which he invited the rest of us. This is the third song Eclectic Collective has done that is a tribute by Carl to one of our members.  We couldn't feel more honoured than to be the subjects of his wild and boundless creativity.
  Fittingly, Ken was first in line to add his magnificent drums. Once we had drums, Josh had something to work with to add his bass, which he did shortly after the drums were up. Mark paid the project a visit next, helping out with a bit of production editing, and dropping in a mad percussion solo using his VST timbale drums. Stephen jumped in soon after, adding the melodic electric guitar riffs that appear throughout. Not to be outdone, JJ added some sonically thickening electric piano, as well as the throwback psychedelic synth that pops up towards the end. Finally, Tez came along and added the electrifying solo that appears about a third of the way in, as well as the one at the end. 
  Once the recording was finished, we turned it over to Stephen to mix in his always professional manner. 
  This song is all about our very talented teammate and brother, Ken, and it is well deserved, too. As mentioned, this is the third song from Carl about one of us. It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone who you respect take the time and energy to think about you in such a positive way as to produce a song about you. Then to have all your buddies join in to amplify it to a solid song is just mind-blowing. We are all very grateful to Carl for not only sharing his music with us, but for his thoughtful consideration of each of us as subjects. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

(Original lyrics by The Perfect Dark)
Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture

Rhythmic mountain maestro
Each day, graft, working hard
So kids can eat
Bruised back sees very best of yard

Still, beats get born of evenings
Deep love finds joules to jam
May generation X soothe meaning
Let's teach the younger pussies what we can

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

Karakoram human
You decorate good future
As many lose their Gods
You stand tall as suture
Sticks in hand
Cymbals a floating
Snare and bass backbone gland
Tom'ed Ringo Star man keep quoting
Keep life steady paced by hand

To Ken, from pen, to page, to Music
To friends, Now is when, Good sage soup soothes us
Honest and brave, To Jesus he save
Kudos our maestro of percussive wave

the nature of their being by jeff gardiner 

 ponder and ponder if you wanna
speculations bout meanings and measures and structure
of time and the present
and yet it remains completely unknown
made no dent in the fabric
of monstrous illusion
collusion of unseen forces
nibbling away with whispers
while meekly we, perish, never knowing
what we're feeding
believers believing bleeding rivers of remorse
and of course, the horses don;t ponder for a moment
the nature of their being--

The Nature of their Being-with TexMex Shaman and Mahan💀Mahan

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a late-night improvisation over a poem by German writer Christian Morgenstern (1871-1914).

Lyrics:

A little bird told me you had left this town
And no one knew where you had gone
So many rumors everywhere
They all talked about you, when you weren't there

But little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Sharp tongues on the little birds
They spoke very loudly, made sure they were heard
"What have you done?"
"Why did you leave?"
While you were hiding, the little birds screamed

Little birds can sometimes be fake
You were there, hiding, had made some mistakes
You couldn't show yourself, had so much fear
The little birds made a rumor, that you had disappeared

Fake little birds.....

Fake little birds....

Fake Little Birds

Ken (K2 and the Three) asked if I could remix this Eclectic Collective song from last year. I tried to bring out the individual performances more and added the rather lovely J.J. keyboards ambient intro. Hope you enjoy 😎

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

The sundowner cafe

LYRICS :-
They dig a little deeper now
They're finding out the cause
The route , the problem and the pain
Keep showing us the way

Keep searching for solutions  how
Untangling the brambles and the thorns
Of what people say
When words get in the way

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

They're getting even closer now
They're opening up the door
They've found the key to this foul play
And chasing it away

A little of the decent kind
A little of the lay it on the line kind
It's only fair
Fair and square

Secrets and lies
never helped anybody
Secrets and lies
Only help to lose your way
Everyday
Secrets and lies 
Make the waters so muddy
Secrets and lies 
Always leading us astray
What a shame

Secrets and Lies

Secrets And Lies

Many children must act as a mother or father in the house since one or both parents are addicted to  prescription drugs.
The suffering of children as a result of their parents addiction is an important Topic. Therefore, we have dedicated this song to all children suffering from their parents addiction .  
This is not about being a bad parent but about an overuse of drugs prescribed by the doctor.
So our great hope is that awareness will one day, bring about change. Lyrics below.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this song <3

She's Not There

V1:
The joy she felt inside has long since gone numb
Her mood always looks so cold and grey
I don't regret the person I've become
But I miss them in every way
I miss my brother and I really miss my mother
Though I see them every day
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz' she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why reach out when she's not there?

V2:
My childhood vanished when the pills took her smile
Seemed like all the laughter was gone
Only one way this family would survive
I had to hold on and grow strong
I stepped into a life unreal
Did the household chores and learned to cook the meals
Lift:
I stand on my own 2 feet
I depend only on me

Chorus:
Cuz she's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?
Why should I cry when she's not there?

Bridge:
All I ever wanted was a normal life
When will they be coming back?
I won't feel guilty or apologize
I did the best with what I had

Chorus:
She's not there
All I see each day is a hollow blank stare
Her eyes looking back at me
With such a lack of empathy
What's the point of wasted tears?

Outro:
There's so much in my life I want to share
But she's not there

You shine so bright, you’re the leaves on the trees
You’re heat and light, you’re the birds and the bees

But I’m done with you, sun             
Say goodbye to the sky
Whatever may come              
I won’t be there to ride
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

You’re my sunburn, your light stains my eyes
Drown in details, to die in the sky

I’m so done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, I won’t see when you rise
I’m going inside, I’m going inside, I’m going inside

Four walls ---there are four white walls
and a floor that I can lay on
up high, there is wood box
With a hole where you can come in, sun
 
You shine so bright,  through the clouds you can glow
Moon shines your light from tomorrow

But I’m done with you, sun, I am saying goodbye
Whatever may come, let the darkness be mine
I’m going inside, I’m going inside , I’m going inside

Four White Walls

I'm glad you're here visiting. Thank you for stopping by.:)
