Souls Apart

■概要(Overview)
あ～今日も楽器のお稽古に疲れちゃったわ～
左手が上手く動かないのよね～関係ないけどお腹空いたし
パン屋に寄って帰ろう
あ、そうだ、左手にトングを持って左手の練習してみようかな
え～っと、ドーナツは・・あっ、でも今日はチョココロネが食べたい気分
・・はっ！・・視線を感じる・・ドーナツの！
------------------
・・・・そんな事を想像して作った曲です。

Ah, I'm tired from practicing my instrument today too.
My left hand isn't working properly. It doesn't matter, but I'm hungry.
Let's go to the bakery and go home.
Ah, that's right, I think I'll try holding the tongs in my left hand and practice my left hand.
Um, donuts... ah, but today I feel like eating chocolate coronet.
...Ha! ...I feel the gaze...of the donut!
---------------------------
...This is a song I created while imagining something like that.

■歌詞
「いらっしゃいませ！」
パン屋に寄ったの帰り道
クルミパンとチョココロネ
ああ　ドーナツを選ばなかった

それでもやっぱり気になって
チラッと横目で見てしまう
綺麗に並んだドーナツが
悲しそうだ

笑顔にするため
生まれてきたのに
通り過ぎるなんて
出来なくなっていた

♪♪♪(あなたの事を待っていた)♪♪♪

左利きのふりして(優しい手で今)
トレーにのせた
震えた手で落とさないように

自分でもわからない
そんなこと
くだらないよ
見せかけだよ
偽善的だよ
自分に酔ってさ
(あなたが決めた事)

もしも私がこのドーナツを
手に取らなかったら
そして気まぐれを起こさなかったら
おやつ食べた天使の笑顔
見れたかもしれないのに


毎週買ってたドーナツ
たまには食べたいチョココロネ
ああ　誘惑に　負けてしまった

心の声：「それなら一緒に買っちゃいな」
心の声：「甘いものならばいくらでも食べきれるはずよ」
心の声：「迷いは不要よ」

♪♪♪(あなたの笑顔見れるかな)♪♪♪
♪♪♪

優柔不断で風見鶏
煮え切らないの　それって・・駄目ね
曇った心で純粋なあなたの気持ちを
ふざけた左手で触って壊した
天使の笑顔が見れたはずなのに

「無意味」なだけじゃなくて
「有害な存在」であると気付いた

♪♪♪♪♪♪

(甘い誘惑ね・・)
(正解は無いわ)
(あなたの思うままでいいはずよ)

何も望むものは無いわ
ドーナツが寂しそうだったから・・

もしも私がこのドーナツを
手に取らなかったら
そして気まぐれを起こさなかったら
おやつ食べた天使の笑顔
見れたかもしれないのに


(私たちには選択権は無いの)
(あなたは恵まれた環境にいるくせに・・)
(公園のベンチの真ん中に座って)
(ひじ掛けに左手を置いて)
(遠くの空を眺めながら)
(ため息をつく)
(そうやってかじった一口目の私はさぞかし甘いでしょうね)
(二口、三口と食べ続けて)
(最後の一口を食べ終える頃)
(あなたはすっかり忘れているはずよ)
(私たちの事を)
(まるで初めから存在しなかったかのように)

子供：「お母さん、ドーナツ食べたいよ」
母親：「さっき笹団子食べたばっかりでしょ」
子供：「えーっ、もっと、もっとー！」
母親：「いい加減にしてちょうだい」

(・・・いらっしゃいませ！)

■Lyrics
"welcome!"
On the way home from a stop at the bakery
Walnut bread and chocolate coronet
Oh she didn't choose donuts

Still, I'm still curious
I glance sideways
Donuts lined up neatly
Looks sad

to make people smile
was born
Thinking like that, I can't just pass by
could not


♪♪♪(I was waiting for you)♪♪♪

Pretending to be left-handed (with gentle hands now)
I put it on the tray
I was careful not to drop it with my trembling hands.

I don't even know myself
Such a thing
It's trivial
It's just a sham
That's hypocritical
get drunk on yourself
(That's your decision)

If I didn't put this donut on the tray
And if I don't cause a whim
The smile of an angel who ate a snack
they could have seen

Donuts I bought every week
Chocolate corone that I want to eat once in a while
Ah, I gave in to temptation.

Voice in my heart: “Then let’s buy it together.”
Inner voice: "If it's sweet, I'm sure I can eat as much as I want."
Voice in my heart: “There’s no need to hesitate.”

♪♪♪(Can I see your smile)♪♪♪
♪♪♪

Weathervane with indecision
My heart doesn't boil over. That's no good.
With a clouded heart, your pure feelings
I playfully touched it with my left hand and broke it.
I should have seen the smile of an angel

Not just “pointless”
I realized that I was a “harmful presence”

♪♪♪♪♪♪

(Sweet temptation...)
(There is no correct answer)
(It should be whatever you want)

There's nothing I want
However, I thought Donut looked lonely...

If I didn't put this donut on the tray
And if I don't cause a whim
The smile of an angel who ate a snack
they could have seen

(We don't have a choice)
(Even though you are in a privileged environment...)
(You're sitting in the middle of a park bench)
(You put your left hand on the armrest)
(While you look at the distant sky)
(You sigh)
(The taste of your first bite of mine will be really sweet.)
(Keep eating two and three bites)
(By the time you finish your last bite)
(You must have completely forgotten)
(about us)
(As if it never existed in the first place)

Child: "Mom, I want to eat donuts."
Mother: “You just ate bamboo dumplings, right?”
Child: “Eh, more, more!”
Mother: “Please take it easy.”

(···welcome!)

Irasshaimase!(Welcome!)

As i traveled around the uk and europe in the summer of 2023
i became aware of how people use the power of dance to express them selfs and entertain .
I filmed and captured the moments of this and turned it into this song and a music video ,it kinda has a global message of freedom too in the lyrics and i ask the question the more they take away the things we enjoy the more people will find a way to celebrate and try and enjoy life.

Cast of characters:
Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–foundational guitar in first half, solo in the coda, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell– piano and composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–guitar solo and fills in the main section

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–mandolin, four string fretless bass guitar

This latest Eclectic Collective song was probably the most collaborative in a true sense as we've yet released. The song began with Josh trying to piece together a couple of ideas that he'd come up with on the piano. He sent his ideas to JJ, who took out a connecter section that Josh had no intention of making anything of, and turned it into the body of the song. He returned the song to Josh complete with a signature JJ Terrell climactic coda. Then Josh added the bass to JJ's piano, with some help from the always solid drums from Ken. The way it usually goes is that Josh comes up with a scratch bass line to accompany the song, then Ken adds drums, then Josh goes back and adds the bass to fit the beat. Sometimes they go back and forth, but not this time so much. 

  Then, Stephen added the foundational guitar in the first section, and came up with the idea for the coda. Josh added some mandolin to the coda, too, after which Stephen redid the guitar in the coda to make it very dynamic and part the clouds. Tez finally came along and added the fiery solo and the charming fills in the main section. Most of this time, MD had been working on the narrative lyrics and refining his melodic vocals. Finally, Stephen put it all together for us and mixed it in his expert fashion. 

  We hope you enjoy the thrill of the climax, and also get a chuckle out of the lyrics, which are included below. 

  Let me tell you 'bout a dancer yeah!
A mysterious one
She dances to the decibel
She's a A shape shifter from the stars
She doesn't cast no shadow
The light makes things bizarre
She'll mold a new soul in you
And get your grandmother too
She'll bleed you from afar


It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
Yeah!
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white!

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about 

Oh baby you caught me off guard I think it's gonna be a early time and a Late night

Hubba bubba max
Hubble space snacks
I'm playing galaga 
Waiting for climax
It didn't take long
A few setbacks

One and done in the black hole
With the Shape shifting of my gun
The time was short but the blast quaked
It was all over before it begun
The frown Came over her like a storm cloud dropping down torrential rain
The frown came over me some time later when the little fetus from Mars slopped onto the terrain

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

{Get that thing away from me
Stay on your home planet}

Just One minute altered my universe
My reputation outside of the earth
Flys away in a hearse
Now I'm just the minute man of the cosmos
With an infant out there somewhere they call him... space Frankenstein that's what she knows

It's an Early time and a late night
On a mothership deep in flight
It's an Early time and a late night
When the grays are seeing white

Evasion

Yard time. A bittersweet piece built on small harmonic ambiguities. On violin my friend  @Rosindust. We played a classical guitar, a violin, an electric bass, a piano and an ostinato digital oboe. 
Here the other pieces together: soundcloud.com/francescocartocci/sets/grazie-tatiana

The painting: Vincent van Gogh, Prisoners Exercising, 1890. An alienating round of prisoners. Above two small white butterflies, symbol of hope and freedom.

Composition and all arrangements: Francesco Cartocci

Giornata Piovosa a Pescara - Rainy Day In Pescara

Submit the willow
To the path
The field embraces
A subtle laugh
The grey cries on the barley

To fit the gaze
And not to have
The old grey heron
enjoys his bath
She stares outside the window

The rain
It releases me
Of all my cares
So near to me

Italian...
Invia il salice
Al sentiero
Il campo abbraccia
Una risata sottile
Il grigio piange sull'orzo

Per adattarsi allo sguardo
E non avere
Il vecchio airone cenerino
si gode il bagno
Lei guarda fuori dalla finestra

La pioggia
Mi libera
Di tutte le mie preoccupazioni
Così vicino a me

Giornata Piovosa a Pescara - Rainy Day In Pescara
