Your Enthusiasm Is Contagious! (covid closure song)

Bouncing Off The Rhymes

I had a holiday in Sweden in August and went on a steam train.  This is what it felt like to me.

Where The Steam Trains Go

Many thanks to Timothy McGuire who added his beautiful orchestration to my "Promises To Keep" piano composition. It is always a pleasure working with Timothy and to hear more of his wonderful work, you can visit his SoundCloud page by clicking here: https://soundcloud.com/tim_mcguire

Lyrics

Baby, I know your favorite things
Like strawberries and burgundy wine
Yellow daisies in summertime
The view of Atlanta’s skyline

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
Will you be my wife

Honey, I share your future dreams
A little place outside the city
With a front porch and tire swing
Where we can start a family

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
Will you be my wife

Darling, I know what’s in your heart
And I believe that it beats for me
Hopes that we will be together
Forever and eternity

Oo, oo, oo
I want to give them all to you
Every day of my life
Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
All my love for you
Every day of my life
If you’ll only say ‘I do’

Every Day of My Life  - Collaboration with Del Griffiths

Cast of Characters:

Roy Roy – @user-967672349 – Roy – foundational guitar, composition, and arrangement
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, electric piano, synth sax, synth strings, synth brass, production, and mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– whah guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass

This song began as a well developed, funky disco idea Roy came up with on his guitar, and shared with JJ. JJ added a wonderfully complex orchestration of various keys, including brass, strings, and the sax solo you hear towards the end. 
  JJ invited Stephen Stephen first, who came up with the funky ass wah guitar that also carries the groove. Of course, JJ realized that this is a disco song, so he enlisted Ken to come up with one of his awesome beats to carry it along. JJ had a rudimentary bass line that he played himself, but decided to get Josh to do the honors instead. So, Josh came up with a totally new bass line designed to shake your cheeks.
Once it was in the can, we decided to ask have JJ mix it for us. This is a first time JJ has mixed a song for The Eclectic Collective, and we were all impressed with his work. Stephen mastered it, as he is a master masterer. 
  We're all really impressed and delighted with the experience of working with Roy and his music. He is a very talented artist with a lot of great music to check out on his page, too.
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it, and that it makes you shake your hips while you're doing the dishes, too!

Dear friends - this is a little song to my dear brother - in - law on his Birthday.
We wish him a Happy Birthday


Kjell’s visa (Kjell’s Song)

Lyrics in English

In the middle of a burning war, a little boy was born
and after a few years
he becomes a tall and stately man
and he loves nature
and takes care of everyone who flies
but the most important thing for him
is the wife and grandchildren and children


Lyrics in Swedish

Mitt under brinnande krig en liten gosse kom till världen
och efter några år
han blir till en lång och ståtlig man
och han älskar naturen
och tar hand om alla som flyger
men det viktigaste för han
är frun och barnbarn och barn

Lies and Deceit

G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Lies and Deceit, you were sly as a fox
C			      G
How could I know the game you play?
G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Anger and grief and trust just disappeared
C		  G
Station call, no reply

A			       E
Did you really think you'd get away with this?
    A                E
it all looks like a hit and miss
  C9	     F9
Stuck in the limousine

Angels and muses, songs in disguise
please take off your tight mask
Balancing challenges, how can you sleep
White-knuckled down to the bone

Bullet ripped your ear
But here you are
Keep your eyes on the getaway car
How dark can this story get?

Did you really think you'd get away with this?
it all looks like a hit and miss
Stuck in the limousine

Lies and deceit, clouding our minds
The library is burning
Closing a deal, sealing a pledge
who do you think you are fooling?

Lies an deceit

Lies And Deceit
