And Did Those Feet (Jerusalem)
by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
 
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among those dark Satanic Mills?
 
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
 
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

William Blake's And Did Those Feet (Jerusalem) by Richard M.S. Irwin & Nadia Selvaggi

I was a dot inside my own tapestry 
I was amused by all a those they things 
the did not see

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

I walked alone inside a my own territory 
I was a victim of my own stupidly 

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 

no target on my back but
still they kicking me

while I'm down struggle to see
what's staring straight at me 
one way ticket to happy

I was inertias latest cripple casualty 
I was immune to all a their forms
and repartee

but all that I really needed was
somebody else to believe and read 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody 
all the Natural Rhapsody

My Robot Joined A Gang

A song about a close family member who really needs to understand that his relationship is over. 
And she as been letting him down gently without ever officially ending it. 
He continued to constantly offer his thoughts and opinions of which he considered it to be helpful but she did not appreciate or even understand it. 
He was casting his pearls before the final swine. 

CASTING PEARLS 

V1
How many times can you lay yourself bare 
make it the last as she now doesn’t care 
It’s face down in the water doesn’t wanna share 
Herself her children & this love affair 

Chorus 
I can see you were casting pearls 
Before the final swine 
It doesn’t seem to matter now
This girls made up her mind 
For the final  time

V2
Here we are yet again and again 
Riding two wheels to just to heal the pain 
Inspiring the life that feels mundane 
Ride your sunset from your hurricane

Chorus 
I can see you were casting pearls 
Before the final swine 
It doesn’t seem to matter now
This girls made up her mind 
For the final  time

Casting Pearls ~ Conscience Of Kings

Cast of Characters:
Steve's Planet-- @steve-vervaet —Steve—acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics, composition/arrangement
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—organ and piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and rhythm guitar
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass 

This song was written by Steve on the acoustic guitar. He passed it along to Ken, who added a sturdy rhythm acoustic guitar, as well as his always solid, dynamic drums to it. In short order, Ken got the rest of the Eclectic Collective together on it, starting with Josh, who added his five string fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. Next up was JJ, who's keys, both organ and piano, can be heard livening the whole thing up. Then came Tez with his fiery ripping guitar fills. 
We were all blown away, though, when Stephen added his equally ripping guitar fills as responses to Tez's parts. It really sounds like the two maestros are having a conversation. Not to be outdone, Chris sprinked some of his magical guitar to fill in the spaces, mostly at the beginning. 
Of course, we needed a competent producer to pull the whole thing together for us, especially with all the different voices in the stew. That person was Stephen, who was able to wrangle all of us and make it sound coherent, like the expert producer he is. 
We all really enjoy working on Steve's songs, although it's been a few months since we did one together.  It's been proven many times before that if,you start out with something good, and you end up with some thing great. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original lyrics by Steve Vervaet:
I hope we ever meet x2
I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smile
I hope to be your friend x2
Hand in hand, hand in hand
Once again x3
I hope you shake my hand
On the boulevard
Gazing at the stars, gazing at the stars
I hope you ever be, a part of family
A comfort zone for me x2
To be around in everything I found
Please, please love me, forever being around
Hope you ever be, a part of me
Hope to touch your eyes, I hope to touch your love
One day you’ll see that you belong with me

Hope We Ever Meet - The Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet
